    Farming medieval Sardinia: geoarchaeology in the historic landscape of Marmilla

    No full text
    Food production is intrinsically linked to landscape conditions, society, culture and economy. However, while cultural, social and economic aspects of food production in medieval times are increasingly refined to a high-resolution detail, local landscapes at the core of medieval farming remain poorly understood. To bring research forward, this paper develops an historical ecology agenda and illustrates its application within ongoing research on Marmilla’s historical landscape. By combining multiple scales of enquire and environmental records, preliminary research results indicate that Marmilla’s landscape has been farmed almost continuously since Roman times, and there is some indication of intensification over time. The new records also show that local landscape settings are conducive to soil development, with localised erosion processes of hard geology providing nutrients for soils – these nutrients are vital for crop growing. Throughout such a long period of time, Marmilla’s farmers and landscape had to negotiate changing climatic, social and political changes. Yet, local environmental records do point to a relatively stable, dynamic and continuously farmed landscape, where resource management as much as flexibility of resource uses may have played a key role in ensuring food production over time

    Gli archeosemi raccontano. L’uva e il vino della Sardegna nuragica

    La vite è considerata fra le più importanti piante da frutto il cui interesse alimentare è documentato da oltre 10.000 anni. Le origini della sua domesticazione risalgono al IV- III millennio a.C. in Medio Oriente. Studi genetici suggeriscono che processi di domesticazione secondaria possono essersi verificati anche nel Mediterraneo occidentale, grazie alla presenza diffusa della vite selvatica. Di recente sono stati condotti studi di carattere morfocolorimetrico per discriminare le popolazioni selvatiche dalle cuhivar e dai semi archeologici; sono stati chiariti aspetti fondamentali sui rapporti di parentela tra piante di vite selvatica, coltivate e archeosemi rinvenuti in Sardegna.Vine is considered one of the most important fruit plants whose dietary importance has been documented for more than 10,000 years. The origins of domestication are traced back to the 4th-3rd millennium BC in the Middle East. Recent genetic research suggests that some native Sardinian vineyards share their genetic heritage with current wild populations that grow in the same regions. Recently studies have employed morphometric parameters to discriminate wild populations from the cultivars and archaeological pips, clarifying fundamental aspects of the relationship between wild, cultivated grapevine plants and the archaeological grapevines found in Sardinia

     Draunara, Federica Cellini, Ana B.K, widewalls.ch , 26/05/2014  "Washed away onto the shores of the island, migrants from Africa keep arriving to Lampedusa, a small island just off the coast of Sicily. (...)  The Unstoppable Tempest  Draunara takes its name from the local term for a storm that swoops over the island coming from the sea. The author of the piece draws a parallel between the tempest and the overwhelming number of people arriving from the same direction. Although the arrivals ar..

    Cooking pots from Alassa Pano Mantilaris and Paliotaverna

    No full text
    This final report on the 1984–2000 investigations at Alassa begins with the presentation of the rescue excavations of the settlement (Chapter 2) and tombs (Chapter 3) at Pano Mantilaris. This is followed by the account of the elite architecture and associated finds uncovered at Paliotaverna (Chapter 4) and a detailed description and discussion of the remarkable seal impressions found on many of the Alassa pithoi (Chapter 5). In-depth studies of the Alassa pithoi and all of the other pottery found at the site are presented in Chapters 6 and 7 by Priscilla Keswani and Ariane Jacobs, respectively. Federica Spagnoli presents a report on cooking pots in chapter 7. Reports by other specialists on a variety of topics may be found in the 10 appendices: the cylinder and stamp seals (Aruz), metallurgical finds (Kassianidou and Van-Brempt), marked pottery (Hirschfeld), C14 dates (Manning), human remains (Lorentz), faunal remains (Croft), coins (Destrooper), ground stone objects (Souter), and archaeometric studies of the pithoi (Nodarou) and other pottery (Jacobs et al.). The results from all of these studies are integrated within the conclusions that the author offers in Chapter 8 regarding the chronology and importance of Alassa within the broader cultural and sociopolitical context of LBA Cyprus
