“…The lack of attention to the post-medieval period on the part of BMAP reflects an initial strategy that was focused on understanding the prehistoric landscape despite the practice of broader collection strategies common in other parts of the Mediterranean (Athanassopoulos 2010; Davies and Davis 2007;Gibson 2007;Lazrus 1992). Because the archival research began after our survey strategies were defined, the link between localities with abundant cadastral data and field areas walked is not always precise.…”

The town of Bova (Calabria, Italy) is a post-medieval montane community that remained inaccessible well into the twentieth century. Archival research, field survey, and spatial analyses provide a foundation for investigating the effects of social and political restructuring on the economic and social development of the community. Attitudes of laxness, disinterest, or ignorance have been attributed to inhabitants of this region. They can be interpreted as projected upon the citizens of Bova and others in southern Calabria by those in more urban centers to the north. Potentially, they reflect preferred survival strategies in the face of shifting imperial control.

“…Aside from the one main road there was nothing that connected the town with the coast. These paths would also have been used to take villagers to local sanctuaries and churches for feast and festivals binding the inhabitants together (Gibson 2007;Snead et al 2009).…”

“…Grotta dell'Uzzo represents another classic example. This is a very large cave situated on the San Vito lo Capo peninsula, attached to the northwest coast of Sicily (see Mannino et al 2004Mannino et al -20052007, and references therein) (Figure 7). A variety of scientific analyses suggest that, during the Later Mesolithic (ca.…”

Abstract This paper offers a revised overview and model of Late Pleistocene and Early Holocenehunter-gatherers in Italy, one that questions and extends existing materialist, evolutionary and ecological perspectives through an emphasis on the socio-cultural dynamics of mobility and place making. Particular attention is paid to selected caves and rock shelters, which gained an anchoring power through the repeated performance of mundane and ritual practices, but never to the point of immobile sedentism.

“…Movement creates distinctive social places, material ctilture and infrastructure, whether in airports and at border controls or on the routes themselves (Sheller and Urry 2006: 210-13). The material culture of movement, such as paths, junctions and campsites, is bound up not just with daily practices but also with memories, biographies and identities, and it becomes entangled with change ( Gibson 2007).

Over the last three decades, Mediterranean survey projects have established a broadly agreed methodology, a wide awareness ofthe invaluable contribution made by intensive survey, and a wealth of data from across the region. Where they have made less progress is in the interpretation of artefact density figures and other findings to go beyond the dots on the map and gain insights into past human lives, the complexity of past landscapes, and the relationship between people and the environment. The key to this is engaging with theories that connect humans and non-humans. In this article I use the term commotion to suggest the constant and continually changing lines of mobility and interaction that constitute the landscape. Collaboration is the ongoing creation and transformation of place through the elaborately intertwined work of people, animals, plants, soils, water, weather, rocks and landforms. Conviviality stands for the life-giving creativity and transformation that is constantly proliferating from the intricate association and interaction with other beings, both human and non-human. My examples comefiom the Troodos Archaeological and EnvironmentalSurvey Project, an interdisciplinary and multi-period project carried out on the northern edge ofthe Troodos Mountains of Cyprus.
