L’allumiera di Monteleo nel territorio di Monterotondo Marittimo
No full textLo scavo dell’allumiera di Monteleo (provincia di Grosseto), avviato nel 2008 dall’Università di Siena, sta apportando significativi elementi di conoscenza al ciclo produttivo dell’allume alunitico. Oltre a fornire preziose indicazioni di carattere tecnico che consentono di verificare quanto noto dai testi tecnici, lo scavo sta facendo emergere una lunga storia del sito, certamente avviata nel corso del XIV secolo, che, attraverso lunghe fasi di pausa, è terminata solo alla metà del XVIII secolo. Lo scavo sta inoltre illuminando una storia tecnologica complessa, che intreccia la stagione di lavorazione dell’alunite a cicli produttivi diversi, orientati alla trasformazione di minerali metallici, e al contempo sta fornendo elementi per comprendere quale fosse l’aspetto dei centri di trasformazione metallurgica presenti nel territorio fra basso Medioevo e prima Età Moderna.The archaeological dig of the alum productive site at Monteleo (Grosseto province), undertaken by the University of Siena, is producing new information on alunitic alum productive cycle. In addition to new precious technological information that can be compared to what is already known through the technical treatises, the dig is highlighting the long history of the site, certainly started in the XIVth century. This history, through breaks and new starts, has covered a long time that ends by the half of the XVIIIth century. According to archaeological data at Monteleo alum production is interwined on other metallurgical cycles; moreover, the excavation is providing new elements to figure out what the productive centers of the area could look like, between late Medieval an early Modern times

The close connection that existed between the exploitation of the iron deposits on the island of Elba and the development of the social, economic, political and infrastructural features along the Tuscan coast facing Elba is a subject that has been dealt with by numerous authors. The final phase of the most intense mining of iron which started in the 7th century A.D. has traditionally been assigned to the period between the end
of the 2nd and the middle of the 1st century B.C., but mining activity has been documented until Late Antiquity. Steel production first exploited Elban minerals, but also used the hydroxides from the Colline Metallifere, as it has been demonstrated by numerous documents. The expansion of the Lombards in the territory of Populonia in the 6th century A.D. has always been considered a serious obstacle to the circulation of
the mineral from the island which, in the meantime, had remained under the domination of the Byzantines. The new archaeometric data acquired thanks to the ERC nEUMed project after the conclusion of the research on the site at Vetricella (Scarlino) have made it possible to re-evaluate this hypothesis and to underline the important role that the iron resources had for the territory of southern coastal Tuscany for the consumer towns
in the north, from the 6th to the first half of the 11th century. The picture that emerges also reveals that the methods for exploiting the mines were part of a plan under a single direction which, in this historical phase, was the public authority
