In this paper we present a proposal for the creation of a standardized evaluation model for participatory/public/community archaeology and heritage initiatives. The proposal is the result of discussions during a Spring School that the University of Padua and the MAG Museum of Alto Garda, Italy, organized between 9 and 15 April 2018. The Spring Scho...

Production technologies of Roman to Medieval times bricks on the city of Padua were addressed by means of a multi-analytical approach, consisting in Spectrophotometry, X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD), Polarized Optical Microscopy (POM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM-EDS). The Early-Christian (5-6th centuries) and Ro...

Radiocarbon dating of the carbonate binder of historical mortars is a strategic research topic not lacking in complexities. The critical step is the separation of anthropogenic CaCO3-binder from other carbonate sources that could severely affect the resulting dates. Here we present a complete procedure for the processing and characterization of dif...

In this paper we reflect on four important issues for the relationship between archaeology and society in the post-COVID-19 era: resources, social commitment, our digital presence in communities, and normative legal frameworks. We propose a shared program, having long advocated a participatory archaeology which analyses past and more sustainable ci...

L’archeologia postclassica propone una ricerca diacronica, sistemica e interdisciplinare dei vari elementi di una storia complessa che per molti aspetti si estende a prima e dopo il medioevo, in un lungo periodo storico che si colloca tra due globalizzazioni: quella mediterranea-europea realizzata dall'Impero romano e l’attuale, planetaria. Il volu...

Archeological excavations beside the Baptistery of the Dome of Padua (north-eastern Italy) unearthed anthropic deposits formed between the seventh- and tenth-century ad. These were analyzed using soil micromorphology, soil chemical analyses (especially aimed at the definition of organic matter properties and dynamics), and GC/MS analyses of fecal b...

In order to radiocarbon (14C) date a building, several components of the mortar could be used, such as the mortar binder, the lime lumps, the charcoal particles and shell fragments eventually present among the aggregates. In particular, the mortar binder requires a purification treatment in order to separate it from other sources of carbon, which c...

This paper proposes a particular way of developing archaeological research for and with local communities, using methods that overcome the legislative Italian restrictions to democratic research. It describes the theoretical and methodological grounds and its meaning for reconstructing the history of local communities, which is the final focus of o...

Sulla scorta delle precedenti esperienze nella piana di Riva (Brogiolo 2013) e Tenno (Brogiolo 2014), Drena (Brogiolo, Sarabia 2015), Bolognano e Massone (Chavarría, Causarano 2016-2017), l’obiettivo del progettodi ricerca partecipatadi Nago-Torbole è stato oltre che di studio scientifico di un territorio, quello di coinvolgere la communità locale...

Preliminary results of the first excavation campaigns at the site of Saint Lawrence in Banjol on the island of Rab are presented. These excavations revealed the remains of two consecutive churches, a large Late Antique and a smaller medieval one. An in situ grave and a secondary skeletal mass burial were also discovered. Finds of stone sculptural d...

An historic landscape is a systemic construction in progress, created by various elements such as infrastructures (roads, fluvial network), settlements, fortifications, production sites, ideological and cultural places. In order to investigate it, we must adopt a diachronic, complex and relational approach. Written sources, archaeological evidences...

The interview with Gian Pietro Brogiolo, italian medievalist archaeologist, is divided along five thematic lines. The first point focused in the interview is (1) a small biography, with a few personality traits and his training in archaeology field, while (2) a second part is aimed to discuss his point of view about the methodological development o...

l'uomo dei ghiacci tra neolitico ed età del rame Informazioni preziose per la ricostruzione di paesaggi molto lontani da noi nel tempo, circa 5000 anni fa, provengono da quella che è considerata la scoperta archeologica più straordinaria del ventesimo secolo, il rinvenimento di un uomo mummificato il 19 set-tembre 1991 a 3.210 metri slm, nei ghiacc...

The historical landscape, along with the agrarian systems and uncultivated lands, includes resources of the territory connected by physical, economic and cultural links. In order to investigate it, various types of sources are required especially quantitative ones like inventories, cadastral surveys, agrarian divisions documented with remote sensin...

Il territorio si delinea come una complessa realtá dinamica, dove componenti fisiche, di natura geografica e ambientale, si intrecciano con espressioni antropiche e culturali, entro le cornici fluide delle partecipazioni temporali che, per convenzione, scandiscono le nostre visioni dello scorrere del tempo, di millennni di storia. Sono le prospetti...

The utilisation of airborne laser scanning (Light Detection And Ranging, LiDAR) technology in archaeological research has developed significantly in recent years. The application of specific algorithms to appropriate software can provide an accurate digital model of the Earth’s surface from LiDAR datasets, which helps to identify archaeological obj...

This text studies the countryside in western Europe during the late antique period (V. – VII centuries), analyzing on one hand the late antique villas and on the other the evolution of other types of settlements such as villages or hilltop sites. The transformations of material culture and architecture will be studied through archaeological data, w...

The paper, delivered as an introduction to the seminary held at Monselice in April 2008, concerns early Medieval building techniques. In the fist section, it deals with: the provenance of reused building materials, the collection of sporadic materials, the production of new elements obtained from the exploitation of quarries or through firing techn...

Nell’ambito del Corpus delle chiese altomedievali europee, è stata condotta nell’Alto Garda bresciano una sperimentazione che, dopo aver schedato, studiato e scavato chiese e insediamenti eremitici per quattro anni, ha investigato il rapporto tra luoghi di culto e le strutture dell’insediamento. Ci si è in tal modo indirizzati verso un’archeologia...

In the town of Brescia, Roman buildings and the urban infrastructure remained relatively intact until the 6th c. However, during the 6th and 7th c., the town underwent a series of transformations. Focusing on the eastern part of the city, this paper examines the transformations that occurred within monumental public buildings and domestic buildings...

Il contributo delinea un bilancio dell'Archeologia dell'architettura in Italia a partire dalla metà degli anni '90 del XX secolo, quando alcuni convegni e la neonata rivista "Archeologia dell'Architettura", misero a confronto le esperienze maturate in più centri di ricerca, che riguardavano non solo l¿analisi stratigrafica delle murature il suo rap...

After the rapid development of the archaeological stratigraphy, which began in the 70s, its automatic application in the analysis of the historical constructions promptly became considered as essential and irreplaceable. This immediately gave rise to a critical reaction which questioned the rigid application of the stratigraphic analysis to the bui...
