LA GESTIONE DEI BENI PUBBLICI NEL DUCATO DI BENEVENTO FRA ARCHEOLOGIA E FONTI SCRITTE
No full textThe Management of Fiscal Estates in the Duchy of Benevento: Insights from Archaeology and Written Sources.
By the mid-8th century, the estates of the Lombard dukes of Benevento were extensive, and we have a relatively detailed understanding of their
types and distribution, with areas of varying density across the territory. The aim of this article is to propose a hypothesis about the management
of ducal lands, comparing the sparse evidence from written sources with archaeological data from Faragola, in northern Apulia, which in the
Early Middle Ages was part of a large ducal estate known as the gaio Fecline. Faragola appears to have functioned as a key node in a network
connecting different environments, social strata, and spatial contexts: a service center and a hub for the collection of goods, which served and
coordinated an extensive estate dotted with condome, the individual productive units attested in written sources (including also in the gaio Fecline)
and sometimes grouped into curtes. Faragola was likely one of these curtes. It hosted several dozen families; it served as an administrative center for
scattered farming units in the surrounding area, inhabited by communities occupying sites that had been villas, farms, and vici in Late Antiquity;
and it acted as a collection point for goods largely destined for consumption elsewhere, while also specializing in the production of tools. The
archaeological evidence from Faragola and the Carapelle Valley allows us to overcome some of the structural limitations of written documentation
for southern Italy in the 8th-9th centuries. At Faragola, we can “see” one of the managerial centers that ducal charters merely evoke without ever
describing, capturing instead its internal complexity and high degree of centralization

Faragola e l’eredità delle ville in Italia meridionale tra Tardoantico e Altomedioevo
No full textThe archaeological researches carried out in Southern Italy enabled to gather a great and remarkable amount of data over the ‘end of villas’ and the features of the rural settlement during the early middle age. Often, the abandonment of rural dwellings caused the spoliation of spaces through systematic and organized operations of stripping and re-use of flooring, walls’ coverings, ceilings, furniture and pipes. Ceramic kilns, sedimentation basins for clay, blast furnaces for metals and limestone were installed These operations had been traditionally interpreted as connected to marginal forms of re-occupation. In many cases, these forms of settlement grew in the same areas, yet developed a good level of material culture and crafting activities, beside agriculture and farming. Representatives of the new religious and laic élites and public authorities were recognized, as the sponsors
of these activities
I pannelli in opus sectile di Faragola (Ascoli Satriano, Foggia) tra archeologia e archeometria
No full textLa villa tardoantica e l’abitato altomedievale di Faragola (Ascoli Satriano)
No full textIn the Carapelle valley, a luxurious Roman villa has been excavated since 2003 at Faragola (Ascoli Satriano, FG, Italy). It was one of the rural sites in Apulia with an extraordinary long life. First occupied in the Daunian period (7th–3rd c. B.C), the site was later reoccupied by a large Roman villa. The villa was composed by a series of rooms around a peristyle and was enlarged in late antiquity (3rd/4th–6th c. A.D.) with mosaic-paved baths and a summer dining room (cenatio) with a very rare example of a built stibadium. After the ‘end of the villa’ in the late 6th c., a large village (7th–8th c. A.D.) grew up over its remains
Faragola e l'eredità delle ville in Italia meridionale tra Tardoantico e Altomedioevo
No full textITALIANO: Le ricerche condotte in Italia meridionale hanno consentito di acquisire dati di grande interesse sulla ‘fine delle ville’ e sulle nuove forme del popolamento
rurale altomedievale. L’abbandono delle residenze tardoantiche spesso si accompagnò alla spoliazione radicale di alcuni ambienti, con una sistematica pratica di recupero e riciclo di rivestimenti, materiali da copertura, arredi e tubature. Fornaci, vasche per la decantazione dell’argilla, forni per la rifusione dei metalli e calcare furono impiantate. Tali episodi non devono essere ricondotti a forme di occupazioni marginali o degradate. In alcuni casi si svilupparono nuovi nuclei abitativi caratterizzati da un discreto livello di cultura materiale e da una vocazione
artigianale, agricola e pastorale. Si evidenzia il ruolo dei nuovi poteri laici ed ecclesiastici e delle autorità pubbliche. / ENGLISH: The archaeological researches carried out in Southern Italy enabled to gather a great and remarkable amount of data over the ‘end of villas’ and the features
