The first point at issue is the framing of the area and its structures in relation to the topography, to natural resources, and to the urban and monumental development of the colony. The analysis then concentrates on kilns D and E, which were active from the second half of the 6th c. to about the middle of the 5th c. BC. Structure F and data on the waste deposits from the kilns are presented for the first time, with special emphasis on finds from the large deposit found southward of kiln E. The final part of the paper is dedicated to some considerations on the craft area, its relation to the history of the colony and the main perspectives of the research project.

Roma e il Mondo Adriatico.Dalla ricerca archeologica alla pianificazione del territorio. Atti Con. Macerata 2017, 2022

This paper analyzes the development of the Numana’s inhabited area, territory, and its necropolises.
The first testimonies of human presence on the site have been dated to 9th century BC, with the presence of two cremation tombs. The funerary record is remarkable with the necropolises of Montalbano, Quagliotti-Davan- zali and its surroundings, «dei Pini» (with the circle tomb of «La Regina»), Molinella and Capo alle Vigne show the high level of richness and status of the local elites (9th to 3rd century BC).
It also represents a preliminary synthesis of a bigger investigation that is still being carried out aiming to study the evolution of the agricultural landscape of the roman city of Numana, with a focal point on its complicated hydraulic system, catching the deep transformations of the territory in the roman era and in the transition to late antiquity and early middle age eras.

ROMA E IL MONDO ADRIATICO DALLA RICERCA ARCHEOLOGICA ALLA PIANIFICAZIONE DEL TERRITORIO. Atti Con. Macerata 2017, 2022

This period was characterized by remarkable transformations related to the lat- est phases of the Picenian civilization and the following Romanization, as well as by a complex reality from historical, ethnic and cultural perspectives. The reading of data obtained with the GIS of the necropolis, along with the examination of the single contexts, highlights different phenomena linked to distribution of tombs, funerary rituals and sets, sometimes referable to genre or age classes.
The second part of this contribution focuses on tomb 512, the burial for an aged man, who probably had a priv- ileged status, as osteological analysis seems to evidence. The tomb is datable to the first half of 2nd century BC. and it is different from the other tombs of the last phase of Picenian civilization (Piceno VI). The investigation on the tomb structure, on the objects from the funerary set, on the system of values and ideology expressed by the tomb as a whole, shows that it belonged to the Romanization phase.

La documentazione è analizzata considerando l’uso in contesto dei vasi e nel quadro dei commerci di vasi greci in Etruria padana e settentrionale, con specifico riguardo ai territori prossimi all’appennino tosco-emiliano. Nel saggio si presentano alcuni frammenti ceramici attici inediti rinvenuti in località La Quercia, insediamento situato a sud di Marzabotto nella valle del Bisenzio e del Setta, lungo una delle principali vie di collegamento tra Etruria padana e settentrionale.
The contribution summarizes the data on imports of Greek pottery in Marzabotto between the 6th and 4th centuries BC, updated with the most recent studies. Data are analyzed considering the use of vases within the context and the Greek vase trade in the Po Valley and northern Etruria, with specific regard to the territories close to the Apennines. Moreover, some unpublished Attic fragments found in the locality of La Quercia are discussed. The settlement is located south of Marzabotto in the Setta valley, on one of the main connecting roads between Po Valley and northern Etruria.

Saranno quindi esaminati alcuni contesti funerari esemplificativi di questa fase con particolare riguardo alla ritualità e allo sviluppo delle aree necropolari (aree Quagliotti-Davanzali e via Peschiera). Il contributo ha come obiettivo anche la ricostruzione del paesaggio antico at- traverso l’analisi di vecchi dati di scavo e dei risultati di recenti indagini non invasive effettuate ai margini sud-orientali della necropoli Quagliotti-Davanzali. I dati esposti consentono in parte di colmare la nostra conoscenza della società numana- te nel periodo cronologico considerato e offrono spunti interpretativi su alcune strutture pubbliche, sull’organizzazione dell’insediamento, sullo sviluppo e sulla stratigrafia orizzontale della necropoli Quagliotti-Davanzali.
EN – The contribution firstly focuses on the analysis of the life and the transformations occurred in the Numana settlement - in its society and organization - between the end of Picenian civilization and the first Romanization. Belonging to this phase, some exemplifying funerary sets are going to be examined with particular regard to funerary rituals and to the development of necropolis areas (Quagliotti-Davanzali and Via Peschiera). Moreover, the contribution aims to reconstruct the ancient landscape through the analysis of old excavation data compared to the results of recent non-invasive investigations, carried out on the South West side of the Quagliotti-Davanzali necropolis. The described data allow to partially cover the knowledge gap about the Numana society in the above-mentioned period, offering also interpretative cues on some public structures, the settlement organization, the development and the horizontal stratigraphy of the Quagliotti-Davanzali necropolis.

The research is based on a macroscopic examination, according to the standardised methods of Fabrics of the Central Mediterranean (FACEM), combined with petrographic analyses of 21 amphorae samples of presumed local fabric found in Agrigento itself. These were found in the artisanal area outside Porta V, in the excavations South of the temple of Zeus, and in several Sicilian consumption sites. Furthermore, a selection of 12 coarse ware samples and three tiles, all of supposed local manufacture and unearthed in Agrigento, has been investigated. For comparison, 12 raw clays sampled in the gullies between the Tempio di Giunone and the Tempio della Concordia have been included in this study and are complimented by chemical analyses (ICP-MS and ICP/OES) undertaken on a group of 19 ceramic samples and seven raw materials. As a result, our study confirms the local manufacture of the entire selection of 36 ceramic samples and the more than acceptable petrographic and chemical homogeneity of the ceramic pastes produced with locally sourced clays. The identification of a production of western Greek wine (?) amphorae in Agrigento dating from the late 6th-4th century BCE breaks ground for a better understanding of the colony's economic development during the late Archaic and Classical periods. The city has to be regarded, in fact, as one of the major global players within the wider frame of Sicilian commercial interaction, especially during the 5th century BCE.

The first one, Casa III A, provided the basic scheme of the domestic space (so-called pastàs house) and made it possible to define a reliable stratigraphic column – from the medieval to the archaic age – thanks to a trial trench carried out at its interior. The oldest structures and materials found in the trench confirm the frequentation of the housing area in the years immediately following the foundation of the colony. Here, in addition to the oldest structures, we will consider pottery fragments relating to Corinthian and East Greek productions unearthed during the recent excavations and the past investigations carried out during the 50s of the last century.
The second house, named III M in continuity with the research started by Ernesto De Miro in this sector of the city, has returned a large quantity of wall paintings and stucco decorations of which a first summary is provided here.

The chronological frame of reference is the archaic period, which offers a rich and articulated documentation consisting mainly on Attic vases, but also on pottery from other Greek centers. The analysis is mostly carried out on the basis of funerary documentation as well as on the examination of materials linked to their context, in order to investigate their usage as a cultural phenomenon and to understand historical and commercial aspects connected to the acquisition of such products.
Partendo da una panoramica degli studi sulla rete di relazioni intercorse tra Numana e il mondo greco, il contributo si propone di approfondire la conoscenza di questo campo di indagine alla luce delle recenti ricerche. L’ambito cronologico di riferimento è quello di età arcaica, periodo che offre una ricca ed articolata documentazione costituita in gran parte dalle importazioni di ceramica attica, ma anche da altri prodotti dell’artigianato greco. L’analisi è condotta principalmente sulla scorta della documentazione funeraria e della lettura in contesto dei materiali, alcuni dei quali poco noti in letteratura.

The discovery is the result of a combination of aerial survey, geophysical prospection and targeted archaeological excavation, undertaken by the multidisciplinary ArcheoNevola project, based in the University of Bologna, and carried out in advance of a planned development program. The cooperation with the Marche Archaeological Superintendency and the Municipality of Corinaldo allowed to start with a preliminary impact assessment, within the designed construction of a new Sport complex in the Nevola River Valley. The excavations carried out in 2017 and 2018, here presented, involving small-scale trials followed by open-area inves-tigation, quickly confirmed and supplemented the results of the non-invasive survey, revealing the remains of an extraordinary funerary deposit related to a princely leader within the early Iron Age society of the region. As the first such monument identified and excavated in northern Marche this has provided an extraordinary opportunity to investigate a type-site of the Picenian culture, up till now poorly documented and little understood despite its undoubted importance in the pre-Roman development of the area. The success of the operation lies both in the value of the finding, which belongs to a rare class of elitarian funerary monument, and in discovery methodology, as part of development-led archaeology. At this stage of the research, still in progress, questions remain about several aspects of the Picene tomb and the ancient funerary landscape, but some preliminary thoughts can be advanced about the amount of data collected, which will be progressively refined when the investigation goes further.

This project focused on a sector of the kerameikos quarter of the ancient Akragas, partially excavated between the 1950s and the end of the 20th century, but never published. The sector is located in the South-West corner of the city, right outside the wall line and the sanctuary dedicated to the Chtonian Deities, in an area domi- nating the Hypsas river. Here, the position of three kilns (A-C) was already known. Through non-invasive surveys (2017-2018) and to a first excavation campaign (2019), it was possible to conclude the investigation on other two kilns, kiln D – only partially brought to light until now – and kiln E. The workshop mainly produced Greek-Western amphoras along with banded and plain pottery, tiles, and terracotta figurines used in the nearby sanctuaries. The production context seems extremely interesting for the investigation of the wor- kshop production of the colony during a period of great development and dynamism.

Posto all’angolo sud-occidentale della città, appena fuori la linea delle mura e i santuari dedicati alle divinità ctonie, in un’area dominante il corso del fiume Hypsas, erano note 3 fornaci (A-C) mentre una quarta (D) era stata soltanto individuata.
Una nuova campagna di indagini non invasive e la ripresa dei saggi stratigrafici ha consentito di ultimare lo scavo della fornace D e di individuarne una quinta (E). L’officina produceva soprattutto anfore di tipo greco-occidentale insieme a ceramica a bande, da mensa, laterizi e terrecotte figurate utilizzate nei vicini santuari.
L’importanza del contesto ci dà la possibilità di investigare il rapporto tra la città e il suo porto, con le aree artigianali e i luoghi di produzione agricola sparsi nel territorio.
Il progetto si propone di analizzare con tecniche innovative il paesaggio funerario antico e i contesti tombali inediti di una delle più importanti necropoli dell’emporio di Numana, principale sito di riferimento della civiltà picena durante il I millennio a.C. Per studiare la complessa articolazione della necropoli “Davanzali”, un vero e proprio palinsesto archeologico per sovrapposizione di sepolture, sono messe a punto nuove metodologie di analisi basate sulla modellazione virtuale del paesaggio e dei singoli reperti. Questo approccio integrato e multidisciplinare permette non solo di sperimentare nuove metodologie per l’analisi archeologica, ma anche di impostare uno studio approfondito di un contesto eccezionale della civiltà picena indagato nel secolo scorso. Ulteriori obiettivi del processo sono la valorizzazione e la fruizione di un contesto oggi non più fruibile, ma di grande rilevanza del panorama del Piceno preromano.

Nell’estate del 1989 veniva scoperta a Sirolo una fra le sepolture più ricche e spettacolari mai rinvenute nelle necropoli delle Marche e dell’Italia preromana. La fama della “Tomba della Regina” deriva soprattutto dal suo eccezionale corredo, studiato e pubblicato finora solo in minima parte e perlopiù limitatamente al set di ceramica attica, nonché a una selezione del vasellame e dell’instrumentum da simposio e degli elementi di ornamento della defunta. Un progetto di studio internazionale permette finalmente di affrontare lo studio sistematico di ogni aspetto di questa tomba, tramite una revisione dettagliata della documentazione di scavo e la prosecuzione dei restauri dei materiali. I dati finora raccolti arricchiscono il quadro già noto e aiutano a decifrare i molteplici livelli del rituale funerario, in equilibrio tra la tradizione locale e la dimensione dei contatti a lungo raggio tra il mondo mediterraneo e mitteleuropeo.
The „Tomba della Regina“ from Sirolo: new researches 30 years after the discovery
In the summer of 1989 one of the richest and most spectacular burials from the necropoleis of the Marche region and of pre-roman Italy was discovered in Sirolo. The famous “Tomba della Regina” is known mostly because of its extraordinary grave assemblage, although only a few items have been studied and published so far – i.e. the set of Attic pottery, a selection of pottery and instrumentum for the banquet, and a few items of jewellery of the deceased. An international research project finally allows to study in detail every aspect of this grave, by re-examining the documentation of the excavation and by carrying on the restoration of the grave goods. The collected data update the state of the research and help to understand the different levels of the funerary ritual, revealing a perfect balance between the local tradition and a dimension of Mediterranean and Middle-european networks.
Dopo un’introduzione sulle ricerche pregresse su questi aspetti, il contributo si focalizza sull’analisi della documentazione archeologica di età preromana databile principalmente tra VI e III sec. a.C., in gran parte inedita.
L’indagine è condotta alla luce delle ricerche recentemente avviate sulle necropoli e sugli insediamenti di Numana e di Ancona e si incentra sui fenomeni di interazione culturale che si possono cogliere dall’analisi della ritualità funeraria e dei materiali di importazione e di produzione locale restituiti dai contesti abitativi e dalle necropoli.
