The late sixth century was a period of considerable change in Etruria; this change is traditionally seen as the adoption of superior models from Greece. In a re-alignment of agency, this 2007 book examines a wide range of Etruscan material culture - mirrors, tombs, sanctuaries, houses and cities - in order to demonstrate the importance of local concerns in the formation of Etruscan material culture. Drawing on theoretical developments, the book emphasises the deliberate nature of the smallest of changes in material culture form, and develops the concept of surface as a unifying key to understanding the changes in the ways Etruscans represented themselves in life and death. This concept allows a uniquely holistic approach to the archaeology of Etruscan society and has the potential for other archaeological investigations. The book will interest all scholars and students of classical archaeology.

Brought up in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, John Collingwood Bruce (1805-92) was fascinated by the antiquities of the north of England, and made an especial study of the impressive ruins of the 'Roman Wall'. He published this work in 1851, using both the writings of medieval and recent historians, and his own and others' field surveys and excavations. It describes the route of the wall from the Solway to Wallsend, and the surviving structures such as forts and milecastles along its length. Bruce also discusses and illustrates the Roman artefacts discovered around the wall, from pottery and nails to funerary monuments, which give insights into the lives of the soldiers from across the Roman empire who were stationed at this northern outpost. His argument that Hadrian was the builder of the wall reminds us that, until the mid-nineteenth century, it was thought to have been the idea of the later emperor Septimius Severus.

L'esplorazione sistematica del sito di Roccagloriosa intrapresa nel 1976 si poneva corne obbiettivo fondamentale lo studio della cinta fortificata e la effettuazione di saggi di scavo che permettessero di determinare la cronologia e la consistenza dei nuclei abitativi sia all'esterno che all'interno del muro di fortificazione. I dati ceramici e l'evidenza strutturale ben presto confermarono l'esistenza di un esteso agglomerato, in parte fortificato ed organizzato in vari nuclei abitativi, inquadrabile nel corso del IV secolo a.C. Inoltre, la scoperta di un'area di necropoli “monumentale” in località La Scala, di cui la fascia superiore è stata esplorata “a tappeto” nella campagna del 1978, documentandone la pianta e la varietà dei tipi di sepolture, rimuoveva ogni dubbio circa l'appartenenza dell'insediamento ad una comunità lucana. A tale ricerca fu pure affiancata l'esplorazione sistematica del territorio circostante mediante ricognizione di superficie con lo scopo preciso di ricostruire il “paesaggio agrario” dell'area circostante il sito agglomerato. Dopo uno studio topografico delle aree abitative poste immediatamente a ridosso della cresta dei Capitenali, effettuato nelle campagne 1982 e 1983, le operazioni di scavo sono State concentrate sul c.d. pianoro centrale, dove i primi saggi di scavo effettuati nel 1982 segnalavano l'esistenza di un nucleo abitativo includente edifici di notevole consistenza ed in ottimo stato di conservazione. Gli aspetti salienti del complesso di edifici sul pianoro centrale sono atti ad illustrare in dettaglio l'organizzazione ed il livello di strutturazione di un insediamento lucano in un momento cruciale del suo sviluppo. A parte i dati fondamentali, e sostanzialmente nuovi, sulle strutture di abitazione e materiali associati, la metodologia di scavo che ha posto fra gli obbiettivi fondamentali anche la raccolta dei dati relativi alle attività economiche primarie, ha permesso di studiare aspetti della cultura materiale solo…
