“…Again the coverage is not systematic or made explicit, but there are many sites and the interpretations have general interest. Patterson et al (2004) use the large-scale Tiber Valley project to discuss crises and cycles in the dynamics of Etrurian polities. Researchers on Crete (Driessen 2001;Watrous et al 2004) describe shifts in hierarchy and cycles of settlement dispersal and nucleation from the Bronze Age on.…”

This is a critical review of regional settlement pattern archaeology published in the last decade. The regional approach proves to be highly productive of new ideas and lasting results. Cultural resource/heritage databases are increasingly important. Notable advances have been made in regional studies of Paleolithic and Holocene foragers, the reciprocal relations between Neolithic communities and their regional societies, and in understanding states and empires. There are new research potentials in comparisons, macroregional analysis, long-term change, and alternative pathways. Research designs should specify systematic coverage at the regional scale and carry out spatial analysis in which social groups are the primary focus.

“…Historical geography information would be required to take the picture up to the present day, but was not collected for this paper. In addition, certain higher quality survey datasets were also unavailable, notably the British School at Rome South Etruria survey (Patterson et al 2004), the Tuscania survey (Barker and Rasmussen 1988) and the Val Cecina survey (Terrenato 1996). Tuscania had already been considered more extensively by a Forma Italiae study (included here), but the loss of the South Etruria survey is a more pronounced gap.…”

This paper compares changes in vegetation structure and composition (using synthetic fossil pollen data) with proxy data for population levels (including settlements and radiocarbon dates) over the course of the last ten millennia in Tyrrhenian central Italy. These data show generalised patterns of clearance of woodland in response both to early agriculturalists and urbanism, as well as the specific adoption of tree crops and variations in stock grazing. The results provide a comprehensive understanding of the development of the

This article discusses the results of archaeological investigations carried out by the Pontine Region Project (PRP) near the site of Astura in the coastal part of the Pontine Region. In the period 2005-2008 a long section, exposed by marine erosion, was drawn and sampled. Subsequently, in the years 2012 and 2013 small-scale geophysical prospections were carried out to assess the preservation of structural remains at the site. The investigation yielded evidence belonging to two main occupational phases. A large quantity – and wide variety – of Late Antique materials indicate the presence of a substantial settlement, that is alluded to in historical and textual evidence as well. For the High Medieval period (12th century AD) evidence was obtained for the production of pottery (ceramica a bande rosse) and lime, possibly forming part of the economic basis of a larger (private or ecclesiastical) estate.
