P. Biagi, B.A. Voytek 2018 - THE CHIPPED STONE ASSEMBLAGES FROM ARMA DELL’AQUILA (FINALE LIGURE, SAVONA)
No full textThe chipped stone assemblage from the excavations carried out by C. Richard at Arma dell’Aquila consists of a
small number of artefacts retrieved from both the Neolithic and Upper Palaeolithic (Early Epigravettian and Aurignacian) layers. The artefacts were obtained from several raw material sources, which varied according to the different occupation periods. The industry has been studied from both typological and traceological points of view, in order to interpret the local or non-local manufacture of the chipped stone tools, and understand the activities carried out throughout the different periods during which the site was settled
The Harrapan flint quarries of the Rohri Hills (Sind - Pakistan)
No full textFlint quarries in the Rohri hills supplied stone to the city of Mohenjo-Daro, out on the silty river-plain and lacking local supply. A new survey has identified workshop sites and an extraordinary scale of production. In his geology of Western Sind, Blandford reports on the presence of flint cores and flakes on the hills near Sukkur and Rohri. A more accurate description of both Palaeolithic and Harappan assemblages is presented by De Terra & Paterson, who also suggested that some of the flint tools they saw on the Rohri Hills, which resembled those from Mohenjo-Daro, were to be attributed to the Harappan civilization. More recently, investigations were carried out by Allchin in 1975-6. She discovered several Palaeolithic and Harappan sites mainly located in the northern and south-western ends of the hills. Recent and old excavations conducted at Mohenjo-Daro have revealed that the flint employed by the Harappan communities was not available from the silty-clayey alluvial plain of the River Indus, but had been imported from outside. The more probable source for raw material is that of the Rohri Hills that lie close to Kot Diji and some 50km to the northeast of Mohenjo-Daro. They are composed of stratified cherty limestones, their surface is actually covered with an extraordinary amount of flint nodules whose presence is to be related with Late Tertiary weathering. -from Author

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
Soil exploitation and early agriculture in Northern Italy
No full textThe current state of research on the environmental impact of early agriculture in northern Italy is reported with particular reference to the region between the Emilian Apennines and the Lombard Pre-Alps. Cultural and palaeoenvironmental evidence supports the view that the location of Neolithic settlements largely depended on the distribution of soils suitable for agriculture. This is particularly evident for the late 7th millennium BP (Fiorano) and the 6th millennium BP (square mouthed pottery) sites, which are located on well drained, silt-clay-loams. -Author
