Firmum Picenum e il suo territorio. Dinamiche insediative ed attività economiche
No full textThis paper is based on the results of the Pisa South Picenum Survey project, an interdisciplinary and integrated study of urban and landscape planning of the Southern Piceno. In particular, we will refer to Firmum, a Latin colony of 264 BC, and its territory, which is believed to extend fromn the river Ete Morto to the river Aso. As a part of a diachronic approach (from prehistory to the Middle Ages), as proposed by the organizers of this meeting, the attention will be focused on the period between the second century BC and the second century AD, the phase of the greatest expansion of the Roman economy. The characteristics of the population in the district of Fermo suggest a hierarchical system but with an obvious interdependence of the sites
Late Roman coarse wares , cooking wares and amphorae. A survey of current research in Italy
No full textIn questo contributo si vuole presentare una panoramica delle ricerche in corso in Italia relativamente alle ceramiche comuni, alle ceramiche da fuoco e alle anfore di età tardo-antica. Lo studio è stato impostato su base regionale: si è cercato di ricostruire come nei diversi distretti, con modalità e tempi diversi, ceramiche comuni ed anfore possano documentare le ultime fasi produttive e commerciali dell’ economia tardo-antica e le dinamiche di passaggio verso l’ alto-medioevo.In this paper I would like to present an overall view of the current tendencies in Italy with regard to the study of Late Roman coarse and cooking wares and amphorae. I feel that it is necessary to make a preliminary observation: as is well known, the international economic crisis has had a strong impact on Italy and there have been considerable cuts in general scientific research. Moreover, in specific terms, the study of pottery is not advantageous for a career in Italy. It is very difficult for young ceramic specialists to enter universities and research centres, while rescue archaeology offers salaries for carrying out excavations and pro-ducing documentation, but only rarely for studying the findings and publishing the results. Despite all these difficulties, Italian archaeologists are continuing to conduct research, to take part in large numbers in the main events concerning ancient ceramics (e.g. RCRF and LRCW conferences) and to publish important studies, as I hope to show in this paper
