Research on Greek monuments has only rarely, or only superficially, intersected with research in the socio-historical field. However, the multidisciplinary orientation of current research allows us to consider architecture from a new angle, by placing Man at the heart of the subject. In fact, recreating paths and gestures that have disappeared today requires a cross-referencing of sources, particularly textual, epigraphic, archaeological and iconographic. It is in this perspective that the International Study Day on the Circulation of Greek Monuments was held on 3rd and 4th November 2016. The aim of this event, which is taken up in this publication, was twofold: to fill a gap and to raise questions that could lead, in the long run, to new studies.

Olga Tufnell (1905-85) was a British archaeologist working in Egypt, Cyprus and Palestine in the 1920s and 1930s, a period often described as a golden age of archaeological discovery. For the first time, this book presents Olga's account of her experiences in her own words. Based largely on letters home, the text is accompanied by dozens of photographs that shed light on personal experiences of travel and dig life at this extraordinary time. Introductory material by John D.M. Green and Ros Henry provides the social, historical, biographical and archaeological context for the overall narrative.The letters offer new insights into the social and professional networks and history of archaeological research, particularly for Palestine under the British Mandate. They provide insights into the role of foreign archaeologists, relationships with local workers and inhabitants, and the colonial framework within which they operated during turbulent times.This book will be an important resource for those studying the history of archaeology in the Eastern Mediterranean, particularly for the sites of Qau el-Kebir, Tell Fara, Tell el-'Ajjul and Tell ed-Duweir (ancient Lachish). Moreover, Olga's lively style makes this a fascinating personal account of archaeology and travel in the interwar era.

Adria nasce come emporio e almeno dal tardo Arcaismo assume la fisionomia di una città etrusca per cultura e per lingua. Gli scavi condotti in città per oltre due secoli hanno restituito una ricca documentazione epigrafica che conta 212 iscrizioni etrusche e centinaia di graffiti. Nel panorama degli studi su Adria, il ruolo dell’epigrafia appare così assai rilevante. Rilevanza confermata nel quadro dell’Etruria padana, dove il nucleo adriese è al secondo posto per quantità dopo quello di Spina, e compete anche con alcune fra le più importanti città dell’Etruria propria. Ma l’aspetto forse più importante risiede nella continuità, dato che le attestazioni più antiche risalgono al VI sec. a.C. e le più recenti a cavallo di II e I sec. a.C., restituendo così lo spaccato di una comunità sopravvissuta al crollo del sistema padano nel IV sec. a.C. Questa ricca documentazione è confluita nell’edizione del Corpus Inscriptionum Etruscarum, IV, I, 1. Non consentendo la prassi redazionale dell’opera approfondimenti critici, si è ritenuto opportuno offrire a corredo del fascicolo un testo di analisi epigrafica delle iscrizioni etrusche, valorizzando l’insieme delle informazioni che il singolo oggetto iscritto porta con sé, dunque non solo il testo, ma anche il supporto e il contesto di rinvenimento, essenziali per una soddisfacente interpretazione. Le iscrizioni sono dunque fondamentali per uno studio complessivo e diacronico dell’Adria preromana, in quanto grazie a queste è possibile avviare una riflessione sulla società e sulle pratiche che questa adottava nel confrontarsi con il sacro e con la morte.

This fourth volume of the series AdriAtlas collects the papers presented at the International Round Table held in Bologna on May 23rd -25th 2019. It contains in total 21 contributions of French, Italian, Croatian and Slovenian scholars. The reflections focus on artisanal productions in the Adriatic region with a particular attention to five themes: craftsmanship and manufacturing between city and countryside; epigraphy, crafts and society; amphora productions; production of fine and common ware; textile production. Among the purposes of the conference, we can highlight: -to shed light on the different production methods developed in geographical contexts around the Adriatic Sea, seen as a privileged ambiance for the exchange of ideas, techniques, fashions, goods, and people; -to provide an updated, albeit partial, picture of the productive phenomenon in its various forms and its interactions with the other economic players.
