    Il contributo illustra i tratti salienti di un progetto pilota, denominato "Paesaggi al Collasso", mirato a documentare l'approccio archeologico e storico delle comunità residenti nell'area delle Crete Senesi al fenomeno del dissesto idro-geologico, indotto dall'impatto delle attività agricole sul suolo di origine sedimentaria. Il testo analizza il contributo delle discipline archeologiche nella possibile identificazione delle forme di protezione dei pendii, quali muri di terrazzamento, al fine di contrastare l'erosione del suolo

    It is definitely key and appropriate to achieve a focus on the interconnecting functions of the hoards and the single depositions of metal objects. In this general framework, this paper aims to offer an overview of the Iron Age finds in continental Italy, apart from Sicily: attention is concentrated on the central regions of the country, including Sardinia. In this perspective, Central Italy has more similarities with the northern than with the southern regions of the country. The metal depositions in the southern regions offer an almost homogeneous picture and several are commonly dated to 8th century BC. On the contrary, with the exceptions of a new find in Piedmont and of the huge hoard of San Francesco in Bologna, metal deposits in northern Italy belong mostly to 5th century BC. As usual, it is very important to connect each find to the general knowledge about the findplace and so gain exhaustive interpretations of both

    The necropolis of Rusellae, unlike the town, have never been the subject of systematic investigations, although the main burial areas are already known from the early eighteenth-century explorations. Recently, especially since the second half of the last century, there have been many occasional discoveries and recovery interventions by the Superintendence, carried out mostly as a result of emergency situations, but still substantially unpublished, with the exception of some brief news. The contribution intends to propose, despite the fragmentary nature of the available documentation, a brief overview of the necropolis system of the Etruscan site, with particular reference to the sector of Campo della Fonte, located immediately south-east of the southern hill, not far from one of the city gates, and to some more distant complexes, in the locality of Casette di Mota, providing an opportunity to advance a wide-ranging reflection on the development of the centre
