“…On the whole, the core technology of our series is similar to what is observed at Torre in Pietra (layer "m"), dated to the MIS 10/ MIS 9 transition (Villa et al, 2016), but also to the younger butchery site of La Polledrara di Cecanibbio (MIS 9, 325 ± 6 ka; Pereira et al, 2017). These assemblages on small flint nodules in the Latium suggest no clear changes of the technology between MIS 11 and MIS 9 in this region.…”

“…Finally, the Latium presents the particularity to document several well dated sites spanning the MIS 11e9 period, highlighting bones retouched industries, made of elephant fragments of bones such as at Fontana Ranuccio, Isoletta, Lademagne, Cava Pompi, Torre in Pietra, Rignano Flaminio (Segre Naldini et al, 2009;Biddittu et al, 1979Biddittu et al, , 2012Biddittu and Segre, 1982;Villa et al, 2016;Petronio et al, 2017), Castel di Guido and La Polledrara di Cecanibbio (Sacc a, 2012; Anzidei et al, 2012;Pereira et al, 2017). The Latium is not an isolated case in the Western European area.…”

“…Fifty years after the publication of Sedia del Diavolo and Monte delle Gioie by Mariella Taschini [ 3 ] our research has allowed us to describe the technological structure of the two assemblages and to show their originality. Clearly it is the Levallois technology that distinguishes these assemblages from earlier ones, whether the Acheulian of Torre in Pietra level m [ 21 ] or assemblages without bifaces, such as La Polledrara [ 57 – 59 ].…”

In the second half of the 19th century Pleistocene faunas were discovered in two sites, Sedia del Diavolo and Monte delle Gioie, contained in deposits of the Aniene River in the area of Rome (Latium, Italy). Fieldwork by A.C. Blanc in the late 1930’s proved the association of fauna and lithic industry within fluvial deposits interbedded with volcanoclastic layers. A human femoral diaphysis and a metatarsal were later identified in the faunal assemblage from Sedia del Diavolo and evaluated as Neandertal. The lithic assemblages from these two sites were the basis of the definition of the Protopontinian by M. Taschini, which she viewed as a late Middle Pleistocene industry very similar to the later, Upper Pleistocene Pontinian industries, thought to be characteristic of the Latium Mousterian. The chronostratigraphic framework of the Aniene river deposits has been recently updated and the lithic assemblages from these two sites are now confidently dated between 295 and 290 ka, close to the transition from MIS 9 to MIS 8. They fit chronologically between the industries of layers m and d from Torre in Pietra, a site 26 km northwest of Rome. The presence of the Levallois debitage is indisputable yet it occurs within an original technical context, different from what is known in other early occurrences of the Levallois. The date confirms the proposed chronology for the early Levallois in Europe. More importantly these two assemblages demonstrate that this technology can emerge in more diversified contexts than usually described. This suggests that its dispersal in Europe may have been rapid.

“…www.nature.com/scientificreports www.nature.com/scientificreports/ The age of 288 ± 6 ka for the Monte Rocca Romana edifice contributes to the definition of the peri-caldera activity phase occurred at a number of eruptive centers (mainly scoria cones) located along the northern rim of the Bracciano caldera ( Fig. 3), following the 323 ± 2 ka Plinian eruption 36 . Similarly, the age of 292 ± 2 ka for the Monte Cinghiale lava dome implements the chronological record of the Sacrofano eruptive activity 23 , predating the major Tufo Giallo di Sacrofano caldera-forming event.…”

this multidisciplinary work provides an updated assessment of possible future eruptive scenarios for the city of Rome. Seven new 40 Ar/ 39 Ar ages from selected products of the Monti Sabatini and Vulsini volcanic districts, along with a compilation of all the literature ages on the colli Albani and Vico products, are used to reconstruct and compare the eruptive histories of the Monti Sabatini and colli Albani over the last 900 ka, in order to define their present state of activity. Petrographic analyses of the dated units characterize the crystal cargo, and Advanced-inSAR analysis highlights active deformation in the MS. We also review the historical and instrumental seismicity affecting this region. Based on the chronology of the most recent phases and the time elapsed between the last eruptions, we conclude that the waning/extinguishment of eruptive activity shifted progressively from nW to Se, from northern Latium toward the neapolitan area, crossing the city of Rome. Although Monti Sabatini is unaffected by the unrest indicators presently occurring at the Colli Albani, it should be regarded as a dormant volcanic district, as the time of 70 kyr elapsed since the last eruption is of the same order of the longest dormancies occurred in the past. The city of Rome was founded upon tuffaceous hills that are part of a thick pyroclastic plateau formed by the eruptions of two large volcanic districts: Monti Sabatini (MS) to the NW and Colli Albani (CA) to the SE (Fig. 1). A number of recent studies has ascertained the state of quiescence of the CA, given an average dormancy of 38.5 ± 1.5 kyr during the last 600 ka, and the occurrence of the most recent eruption at 36 ± 1 ka 1 (and references therein). Moreover, a 20 year-long InSAR data record revealed ongoing inflation with maximum uplift rates >2 mm/yr in the area hosting the most recent (<200 ka) eruptive vents, suggesting that magma recharge is possibly occurring at depth 2 (and references therein). In contrast, no similar studies have been undertaken in the MS so far, precluding a reliable assessment of its actual state. However, a recent geomorphologic study on the fluvial terraces of the Tiber Valley found evidence of ca. 50 m of differential uplift occurred along the MS eastern sector in the last 125 kyr, concurrent with the most recent phase of eruptive activity from multiple vents 1 (Fig. 1). For this reason, a dedicated research project has been conducted to refine the MS eruptive history through a set of new 40 Ar/ 39 Ar age determinations, and to assess possible active soil deformation, including seismotectonic processes and vertical movements, through InSAR analysis. The analysis of the regional seismicity, comparing instrumental and historical records for the four volcanic districts of Latium, is provided aiming at highlighting possible unrest indicators, as recently shown for the CA 2. Geologic setting The MS belongs to the highly potassic Roman Magmatic Province 3 , which originated in the area comprised between the Apennine orogen and the Tyrrhenian ...
