RIASSUNTO – Influssi balcanici e genesi del Bronzo antico in Italia meridionale: la koine Cetina e la facies di Palma Campania. Alcuni ritrovamenti in Campania, in parte anche molto recenti, che suggeriscono affinita con la facies di Cetina, sollecitano una riflessione circa la problematica relativa al momento di passaggio tra Eneolitico e Bronzo antico. La carta di diffusione dei siti di facies Cetina sul territorio italiano, mostra come essi si attestino prevalentemente nella meta orientale della penisola, nel rispetto della funzione di barriera/confine esercitata dalla Catena Appenninica; una configurazione che risulta valida, oltre che per l’Italia centrale, anche per l’Italia settentrionale, dove, pur mancando barriere fisiche che ostacolino il passaggio, le testimonianze Cetina, attestate nelle grotte del Carso triestino e nell’area pedemontana friulana, non oltrepassano ad occidente il Veneto, posizionandosi lungo la via di penetrazione fluviale costituita dal fiume Bacchigli...

The Avellino Pumices eruption was one of the most catastrophic volcanic events of Somma-Vesuvius, which hit prehistoric communities during the Early Bronze Age. In the last 30 yr, several authors reported assessments about its chronology, including radiocarbon datings, but with poor internal agreement and frequently with large experimental errors. A new and more accurate 14C dating of this eruption (1935–1880 BC, 1 σ) was obtained at the CIRCE laboratory in Caserta (Italy) by 3 AMS measurements on a bone sample of a goat buried by the eruption, collected in an Early Bronze Age village at Croce del Papa (Nola, Naples). These results were verified by other measurements on several samples chronologically related to the eruption. Our data show that human resettlement after the eruption occurred rather quickly but lasted only for a short time in areas affected by the volcanic products, like Masseria Rossa and San Paolo Belsito (Nola, Naples), according to 14C dating of archaeological sam...

ria N di Avella (AV). L’insediamento si estende sulla sponda sinistra del fiume Clanio, allo sbocco dal tratto intervallivo (vallone Serroncello). Questa stretta gola riveste notevole importanza dal punto di vista della conoscenza della dinamica territoriale delle popolazioni protostoriche in quanto vi sono stati individuati numerosi siti che coprono diversi periodi cronologici (Albore Livadie et alii 1987-88). Inoltre dal Fusaro si esercita un controllo dell’accesso al territorio di Avella e dunque alla Piana campana dalle zone interne (conche di Montesarchio e di Avellino)1. L’abitato occupa una vasta area leggermente rilevata e sub-pianeggiante (275 m slm) che si imposta su un potente conoide di deiezione costruito dal Clanio (Russo 1994; Amato, Salerno 2007) probabilmente nel corso del Paleolitico medio/superiore (Di Vito et alii 1998). Tutt’oggi è presente nel sito una sorgente perenne sfruttata dalle popolazioni del luogo per la

La facies di Palma Campania (Bronzo antico, Campania, Italia), fu individuata, com’e noto, a partire dal rinvenimento effettuato nel 1972 a Palma Campania (Na), di un cospicuo nucleo di materiale ceramico(Albore Livadie 1980) sepolto dall’eruzione delle “Pomici di Avellino”[3550±20BP(Passariello et al. 2009)]. Dal momento della scoperta ad oggi, aumentate notevolmente le circostanze di rinvenimento e la tutela dell’area interessata, risulta incrementato di conseguenza anche il numero di siti ritenuti appartenenti alla facies medesima e dunque, decisamente accresciute le conoscenze al riguardo. In particolare, le piu recenti scoperte occorse nella Campania media [sito di Nola, Croce del Papa (in c.d.s.), Afragola (Na), e nel Salernitano (siti di Oliva Torricella, Picarielli, Ostaglio e Battipaglia, solo parzialmente editi)], arricchendo notevolmente questo quadro di conoscenze sulla facies in questione, suggeriscono alle scriventi, una ripresa della riflessione, (attraverso l’esame d...

The K/Ar geochronometer is appropriate to date geological materials ranging in age from several thousands to several billions of years. Two complementary techniques of the K/Ar method are classically used: 1. the K/Ar conventional technique, in which potassium and argon are measured separately from a homogeneous preparation of the sample, and 2. the 40Ar/39Ar technique, which consists in the combined measurement of radiogenic argon (40Ar*), and argon produced from potassium (39ArK) during irradiation of the sample in a fast neutron nuclear reactor. We here review the principle, the analytical procedures, the advantages and the limitations of the two techniques. More specifically, we focuss on the unspiked K/Ar Casignol-Gillot technique, which allows to detect tiny amounts of radiogenic argon (as low as 0.1%) and is thus especially suitable to date very recent volcanic products, even basic in composition. Applications of this technique to young volcanic eruptions in southern Italy are presented, including the Avelino sub-historical explosive event from Monte Somma-Vesuvius. Sanidines separated from a grey pumice layer sampled independently in the sites of Nola and Cava Novasche yield a mean age of 3840 ± 180 yr, in perfect agreemeent with calibrated ams radiocarbon ages achieved recently on charcoal fragments (Albore-Livadie et alii 1998). This demonstrates the effectiveness of the K/Ar method to date accurately volcanic episodes up to historical periods, with absolute uncertainties presently reaching a few centuries.

The archaeological complex of the Amalfi Coast represents a sector of great development capacity within an area defined as a UNESCO World Heritage site on the basis of the typical stratified cultural landscape. The project presented in this report acts in a specific field of archaeology, prehistoric and protohistoric, of which there are many examples in the Amalfi Coast, even if they are not always clearly legible, and focuses on the analysis of old data, on the acquisition of new information and on their processing through an open-source GIS database. The project seeks results on two different levels: the purely scientific and the more sociocultural.

Archaeological excavations over the last 40 years in Campania (southern Italy) confirm intense human occupation since the early Bronze Age (EBA). A pedological analysis of a ∼9 m deep pedos-tratigraphic sequence at Palma Campania (Naples) provides insights into fertility, rates of soil formation, and environmental conditions over the past 10 kyr. Fourteen volcanic soils formed in parent materials from Vesuvius and Campi Flegrei volcanic eruptions were analyzed. Results show that soils differ markedly in terms of thickness, andic properties, chemical fertility, and degree of development. Chemical properties, along with specific soil micromorphological features (such as silt coatings, laminar structure, iron segregations), are interpreted in terms of pedogenetic processes and used to reconstruct past environmental conditions. The degree of soil development, evaluated on the basis of organic matter content and some andic properties, proved more indicative of climate and geomorphological stability than duration of pedogenesis. Since the excavation also revealed an extensive EBA paleosurface and soil, targeted analyses were carried out to gain a better understanding of the impact of human activities and domestic animals on soil properties.

Palma Campania, the type-site of the Early Bronze Age Palma Campania culture, was covered by the products of the Avellino Pumice eruption, and was thus preserved in a similar way to the Roman sites in Campania covered by the AD 79 eruption. The devastating effects of this Plinian eruption led to the beliefthat it had killed a large part of the local population and/or caused large-scale emigration and landscapedesertification. However, new sites have been found that were established shortly after the eruption andgeoarchaeological studies of areas close to the Somma-Vesuvius volcano (Boscoreale, Boscotrecase, Torre Annunziata/Oplontis, Pompeii) and also further away (the Benevento area, Irpinia and the Salerno area) haveshown continuity of occupation after the Avellino Pumice eruption and during the later, Middle Bronze Age, AP1 and AP2 eruptions. Palynological analysis also shows great similarity between the environments beforeand after the Avellino Pumice eruption. The pottery evide...
