P. Biagi, E. Starnini 2018 - L’ARMA DELL’AQUILA (FINALE LIGURE, SAVONA) NEL QUADRO DELLE CONOSCENZE DELL’ALTO TIRRENO TRA PALEOLITICO SUPERIORE E MEDIO OLOCENE: UN BILANCIO A 70 ANNI DAGLI SCAVI
No full textThe authors summarize the results of the interdisciplinary approach to the study of the material remains from the first half of the 1900s excavations at Arma dell’Aquila. As already emphasized by famous archaeologists of that époque, this site represents one of the focal points to understand the pace and modes of the prehistoric human settlement along the coast of the northern part of the Tyrrhenian Sea. A series of radiocarbon measurements allowed to date to the Protoaurignacian the most ancient human presence in the rock shelter unearthed by Richard-Chiappella, confirming that also the Finalese was involved in the arrival of the first AMH, and attributing to an early phase of the Epigravettian the subsequent Upper Pleistocene frequentation of the site. The cave was later and intermittently settled during the Holocene, with alternate periods of frequentations, abandonments and burial use of the space during the Neolithic
I reperti ceramici dell’Arma dell’Aquila (Finale Ligure, Savona)
No full textThis paper presents the results of the study of the ceramic assemblages retrieved during the excavations carried out
at Arma dell’Aquila at present stored in the collections of Finale Archaeological Museum. They are represented mainly by vessels attributable to the Impressed Ware and Square-Mouthed Pottery Cultures. Some fragments show that the rock shelter was utilised also during later prehistoric period, up to the Bronze Age, similarly to what is known from other Finalese cave
L’industria in pietra levigata dell’Arma dell’Aquila (Finale Ligure, Savona)
No full textThe polished stone assemblage from the old explorations at the site is composed of a small number of artefacts. However, among the artefacts are 6 complete axe blades of interesting shapes, one axe rough-out and one cutting edge fragment. The 7 complete pieces have been submitted to archaeometric analyses (XRPD and thin section) in order to identify the rocks. The results show the exploitation of uncommon lithotypes in comparison to the raw material spectrum known for other sites in Northern Italy. A small group of other stone implements is briefly described, and the chronological attribution of each artefact is discussed
I manufatti in materiale duro animale dell’Arma dell’Aquila (Finale Ligure, Savona)
No full textA few bone implements were found during the study of the assemblages from the excavations carried out at Arma
dell’Aquila at present in the collections of the Finale Museum. They are represented by points, spatulas and pendants. Some tools show that they were produced in the cave from bones of both domesticated and wild animals, as is already known from the evidence provided by other Finalese cave

Full text linkAnalisi archeometriche in microscopia ottica di ceramiche neolitiche dall’Arma dell’Aquila (Finale Ligure, Savona) nel quadro delle produzioni preistoriche del Finalese
No full textThe petrographic study has allowed us to recognize the majority of the ceramics of the Aquila rock shelter as
productions of the Finale area, although the compositional and textural/technical variability highlights a variety of sites of production or procurement of raw materials. In these cases, the pastes are characterised by inclusions well compatible with the Permo-Carboniferous metamorphic rocks or with Mesozoic limestones outcropping locally. However, the discovery of some samples with inclusions derived from gneiss and amphibolite, absent in strictly local area, though outcropping in the neighbouring territory of the Hercynian basement, can testify instead human mobility within the region, both in the Early and Middle Neolithic. The preliminary comparison with the data available for the first ceramic productions of Liguria in general, and the Finale in particular, seems to confirm the model that demonstrates the existence, alongside a more consistent pottery production of local origin, of some ceramic containers produced in
allochthonous areas, even though in this specific case long-distance provenances are not represented
