- Abstract
Le prime applicazioni delle tecniche di datazione con luminescenza risalgono alla metà del XX secolo. Queste tecniche si basano sul fenomeno della luminescenza, che comporta l’emissione di luce da parte di semiconduttori o materiali isolanti in seguito all’esposizione a uno stimolo esterno. Questo stimolo può assumere varie forme, come il calore e la luce. Il fenomeno della termoluminescenza (TL) si verifica quando viene applicato uno stimolo termico. In alternativa, quando lo stimolo deriva dalla radiazione elettromagnetica, è possibile una differenziazione in base alla lunghezza d’onda della luce emessa. Questa distinzione ha dato origine allo sviluppo di tecniche come la Luminescenza Ottica Stimolata (OSL), che utilizza lunghezze d’onda della luce visibile, e la Luminescenza Stimolata all’Infrarosso (IRSL), che utilizza lunghezze d’onda dell’infrarosso come input. Questi metodi hanno rivoluzionato il modo in cui i ricercatori determinano l’età dei materiali, aprendo nuove strade per la comprensione della storia del materiale analizzato. Questa tesi approfondisce i fondamenti di questi metodi di datazione a luminescenza e, soprattutto, ne esplora l’applicazione per determinare l’età di due materiali non convenzionali: le malte antiche e i vitrified forts. La datazione della malta è utile per determinare la cronologia di costruzione degli edifici storici. La termoluminescenza (TL) è stato il metodo principale e consolidato per la datazione assoluta dei mattoni. Tuttavia, questo metodo ha i suoi limiti. La TL infatti calcola il tempo trascorso dalla cottura del materiale, ciò lo rende un metodo inefficace quando si tratta di materiali riutilizzati o non cotti. Al contrario, le malte vengono preparate poco prima dell’uso e in genere non vengono riciclate, il che le rende un soggetto ideale per la datazione della costruzione per cui sono state prodotte. Una delle sfide principali nella datazione delle malte è la garanzia di un completo sbiancamento dei grani, The beginnings of luminescence dating techniques can be traced back to the mid-20th century. These techniques are based on the fundamental principle of the luminescence phenomenon, which involves the emission of light by semiconductors or insulating materials upon exposure to an external stimulus. This stimulus can be in various forms, such as heat and light. The thermoluminescence (TL) phenomenon occurs when a thermal stimulus is applied. Alternatively, when the stimulus is derived from electromagnetic radiation, a differentiation is possible according to the wavelength of the emitted light. This distinction gave rise to the development of techniques such as Optical Stimulated Luminescence (OSL), which uses visible light wavelengths, and Infrared Stimulated Luminescence (IRSL), which uses infrared wavelengths as input. These methods have revolutionised the way researchers determine the age of materials, opening new avenues for understanding history of the material analysed. This thesis delves into the fundamentals of these luminescence dating methods and, most importantly, explores their application to determine the age of two unconventional materials: ancient mortars and vitrified forts. The research presented here seeks to shed light on these material dating methods and their significance in unravelling the mysteries of the past. Mortar dating serves as a tool for determining the construction timeline of historical buildings. Thermoluminescence (TL) was the primary well-established method for the absolute dating of brickworks. However, it has its limitations. TL calculates the time elapsed since the firing, rendering it ineffective when dealing with reused or unfired materials. In contrast, mortars are prepared shortly before use and are typically not recycled, making them an ideal subject for dating. One of the main challenges in mortar dating is the assurance of complete quartz grain bleaching. The aim is in fact to date them from the moment they received their

Between 2016 and 2018, during the road construction works from Lioni to Grottaminarda, excavation campaigns were carried out in the locality of Mefite in the territory of Frigento. Archaeological investigations revealed a prehistoric settlement, including a necropolis, dating between the Ancient Eneolithic and the beginning of the Ancient Bronze Age. Settlement features consisted of huts, fire structures and 7 pit-graves. The fire structures were located both near the huts and the funerary area where it is worth to mention a fireplace structure made of clay sub-circular in shape and with a diameter of around 2 meters located at a depth of 20-25 centimeters; it was situated in the north west area of one of the graves. Charcoal concentrations were all around the structure where fragments of animal bones and ceramics and also lithic findings were found. Such a structure, characterized by a huge concentration of reddish orange fire clay, was used repeatedly. The proto-historic ceramics in relation with this fireplace goes back to the first phase of Ancient Eneolithic. It is similar to Early and Middle Bronze Age structures from Emilia Romagna and other sites in northern and southern Italy. Based on these comparisons, our structure could be considered as one of the most ancient fireplace structure or food preparation. However, outside and connected to it, two elliptic post-holes (30-40 cm diameter and 20 cm deep) and two circular post-holes (10 centimeters diameter and 10 deep) were found. All of them were probably wooden supports for cooking and smoking food. At the beginning the fire structure was built for a social and multifunctional use but later,when the area became a necropolis, it probably acquired a religious value. The archeometrical analysis demonstrate the use of local clay for the construction of the plate, whose surface reached maximum 500 °C.

On the sunken island of Crêt de Chatillon (Annecy Lake), in a Final Bronze Age pile-dwelling site, were discovered fragments of a terracotta kiln. Aimé Bocquet, father of the French underwater archaeology restored it in 1974. This perforated floor structure, without equivalent at the time was logically interpreted as a potter's kiln. Half a century later, many similar discoveries did not put an end to the debate about the function of these devices. Will it be possible to promote or rule out certain functional hypotheses by means of archeometry and in particular through a thermal study?

- Abstract
In 2017, an expedition of the Institute of Archeology of the University of Rzeszów (Poland) carried out excavations on a hillfort belonging to the Scythian cultural circle (its forest-steppe variant) in Chotyniec, in south-eastern Poland. The hillfort is the central and most important point of a large settlement cluster, which is the furthest north-western enclave of this cultural circle. In an excavated cult object – the so-called 'zolnik' – we made an interesting discovery. Here we show this unique finding for the first time: a Greek wine amphora, from the beginning of the sixth century BC. We were able to explore and reconstruct it almost entirely. Amphora is the only artefact of this type found in the present Polish borders. The amphora was subjected to archaeometric research with the use of PLM, SEM/EDS, TXRF and ToF SIMS. The massive fabric was made of high calcium clay enriched in quartz and volcanic lithoclasts. The lack of chromium and nickel among trace elements makes the vessel different from the amphoras from the Eastern Meditteranean analysed so far, suggesting a specific workshop. Red painting was executed with very fine grained iron compounds predominantly based on aluminosilicates, enriched in phosphorus. Obviously, since it is associated with the presence of Scythians in Eastern Europe, it simultaneously delimits (geography-wise) the borders of Greek influence. 2017 führte das Institut für Archäologie der Universität Rzeszów (Polen) in Chotyniec im Südosten Polens Ausgrabungen auf einem Hügel durch, der dem skythischen Kulturkreis (Waldsteppenvariante) zugeordnet werden kann. Der Burgwall ist als zentraler und bedeutender Ort eines großen Siedlungsclusters der nordwestlichsten Enklave dieses Kulturkreises anzusehen. In einem ausgegrabenen Kultobjekt – dem sogenannten "Zolnik" – wurde ein herausragendes Objekt entdeckt, das hier erstmalig vorgestellt wird. Dabei handelt es sich um eine griechische Weinamphore aus dem frühen 6. vorchristlichen Jahrhundert. Die nahezu vollständig geborgene und rekonstruierte Amphore ist das einzige Artefakt dieser Art auf dem Gebiet des heutigen Polen. Die Amphore wurde archäometrisch mittels PLM, SEM/EDS, TXRF und ToF SIMS untersucht. Das Gefäß wurde aus einem kalziumreichen Ton getöpfert, angereichert mit Quarz und vulkanischen Lithoklasten. Im Unterschied zu bisher analysierten Amphoren aus dem östlichen Mittelmeerraum fehlen hier die Spurenelemente Chrom und Nickel. Dies ist als Hinweis auf eine spezielle Werkstatt zu deuten. Die Amphore weist rote Verzierungsstreifen aus einer feinkörnigen, überwiegend auf Aluminiumsilikaten basierenden, mit Phosphor angereicherten Eisenverbindung auf. Da die Amphore offenbar mit der Anwesenheit von Skythen in Osteuropa verbunden ist, belegt das Objekt gleichzeitig die geografischen Grenzen des griechischen Einflusses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The recent development of non-invasive analysis techniques for the study of ancient polychromy makes it possible to more accurately identify the materials and technical processes used by painters. In particular, a type of multi-band photographic analysis (VIL, Visible Induced Luminescence) allows the presence of Egyptian blue to be traced with great accuracy, even if it is mixed in small quantities with other pigments and therefore invisible to the naked eye. This contribution aims to show this particular pigment was used much more frequently than suspected, on different supports, to give greater brilliance to certain colours (e.g. white) and to create thickness and depth on the surfaces it covered.

The jubilee of Professor Andrzej Nadolski and Professor Marian Głosek is an excellent opportunity for discussing some most recent methods of technological analyses in archaeology and their applications in arms and armour studies.New opportunities are offered by Computed Tomography (CT) and by Neutron Imaging (NI). The latter is insensitive to material density; therefore details that are not detectable by X-ray or CT can be seen in NI images.A considerable progress has also been made in the field of radiocarbon dating. Yet another field are analyses of the chemical composition of smelting slag and slag inclusions in ferrous artefacts. Such analyses can be used for identification of smelting processes, as well as for provenance studies. These take a number of variables into consideration (major and trace elements, as well as isotopic ratios). What seems to be especially promising in provenance studies are isotopes of osmium (Os). Profesor Andrzej Nadolski i Profesor Marian Głosek to niewątpliwie jedni z najwybitniejszych bronioznawców naszych czasów. Wielokrotnie podkreślali oni znaczenie badań technologicznych dawnego uzbrojenia. Jubileusz obu Uczonych jest zatem doskonałą okazją do omówienia niektórych najnowszych metod badań technologicznych w archeologii i ich możliwych zastosowań w studiach bronioznawczych.Archeologia od dawna wykorzystuje zdjęcia rentgenowskie jako metodę badań nieinwazyjnych. Nowe możliwości stwarza zastosowanie tomografii komputerowej (Computed Tomography – CT), pozwalającej na uzyskanie serii przekrojowych obrazów badanego zabytku, które mogą zostać połączone w obraz trójwymiarowy. Alternatywą dla tej metody może być obrazowanie neutronowe (Neutron Imaging – NI), w którym badany przedmiot penetrowany jest przez neutrony. Uzyskany obraz jest wypadkową właściwości osłabiających materiałów. W odróżnieniu od promieniowania rentgenowskiego, właściwości te nie zależą od gęstości danego materiału. Co za tym idzie, wiele szczegółów niewidocznych na rentgenogramach czy tomogramach może zostać zaobserwowanych na obrazach NI. W artykule omawia się przykłady zastosowań tych metod do badań nad dawnym uzbrojeniem.Znaczny postęp dokonał się także w dziedzinie datowania radiowęglowego. Z punktu widzenia badań bronioznawczych szczególne znaczenie ma fakt, iż obecnie w przypadku badań metali żelaznych wystarczające są próbki o masie zaledwie kilku gramów. Nowe metody badań radiowęglowych mogą zostać wykorzystane do określenia chronologii zabytków pozbawionych kontekstu archeologicznego lub zachowanych w stanie tak szczątkowym, iż niemożliwym jest zastosowanie innych metod datowania. Kolejną dziedziną, w której dokonano w ostatnim okresie wielu przełomowych ustaleń, są analizy składu chemicznego żużla wytopowego i wtrąceń żużla w przedmiotach żelaznych. Analizy takie mogą mieć przede wszystkim zastosowanie przy identyfikacji procesów wytopowych (proces dymarski a proces wielkopiecowy) oraz w przypadku badań proweniencyjnych. W badaniach tych wykorzystuje się obecnie zaawansowane metody statystyki wielowymiarowej, biorąc pod uwagę całych szereg zmiennych, takich jak pierwiastki główne, pierwiastki śladowe oraz stosunki izotopowe. W przypadku studiów proweniencyjnych szczególnie obiecującym wskaźnikiem wydają się być izotopy osmu (Os). W artykule wskazuje się szereg studiów nad dawnym uzbrojeniem, w których wykorzystano wyniki badań składu chemicznego wtrąceń żużla dla określenia procesu wytopu metalu, a także dla potrzeb określenia pochodzenia zabytków.

A comprehensive programme of archaeometric research into the chemical composition and manufacturing technology of Early Iron Age artefacts discovered in Świbie, Upper Silesia, has yielded a number of detailed observations and findings. Sixty-six artefacts from a collection of several hundred large bronzes were targeted for study. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy with micro-area composition analysis were used. In selected cases, non-destructive analysis was carried out by digital X-ray radiography. The study was preceded by macroscopic observation of the artefacts. It was shown that most of the large ring ornaments were made from castings subsequently subjected to numerous forging (reforging and shaping) and finishing treatments. Some of the wares, such as the massive ankle rings, retained many of the characteristics of the original cast, indicating that the finishing treatment was only applied when necessary due to the nature of the product (e.g. visual qualities). Decoration was applied using various techniques, often used in combination with each other (e.g. designing a decoration on a wax model and correcting it on the finished product). It was demonstrated that the characteristic constrictions found on the inside of the massive twisted-bar ankle rings of the Upper Silesia and Sącz (Stary Sącz) types could not be the effect of wear and tear, but evidence of intentional reforging, most likely aimed at creating a place to attach an organic strap to fix the ornament in place on the leg. The research has also identified a new category of imports from the circum-Alpine or Mediterranean areas, namely necklaces with a hooked clasp. The extraordinarily precise ornamental technique observed on the necklace, long known in the literature, from grave 102 (in which other imported luxury goods were also found), required the use of a tool in the type of a tap or a threader, and it has never before been identified in an Early Iron Age context in Poland. Above all, however, these studies made it possible to answer the research questions regarding the sample. The first question concerned the raw material and technological variation of the collection across functional and stylistic categories: Did the objects produced and/or used by the population using the cemetery differ in chemical composition of the alloy and manufacturing technique according to function or style? Although the raw material composition was quite similar for the majority of the artefacts (classic Cu-Sn tin bronze), it emerged that some of them had a slightly different composition, most notably an elevated lead content (above 1.5%, exceptionally up to 9.5%), and that this was not coincidental. More often than not, these objects, such as the necklace from grave 217 or the openwork knife handle fitting from grave 495, demanded castings that, due to their small thickness in the mould, required a special alloy with improved castability. This was not required with massive bronzes or those meant for forging sheet metal for the production of coiled ornaments ; these wares are usually characterised by a low proportion of intentionally added lead as an alloying component. No such consistency can be seen in the manufacture of small ornaments such as buttons or spiral pendants, presumably produced on a day-to-day basis from currently available raw material or from recycled raw material. A satisfactory answer was also obtained to the second main question: Whether it was practised to furnish the deceased with sets uniform in style and raw material (possibly including objects produced especially for the funerary ceremony), or whether the objects amassed in the grave were made from raw material from different sources and at different stages of the buried person’s life. Proceeding from a comparison of all the bronzes from three rich burials (graves 102, N=11; 124, N=12; 574, N=9), it was concluded that they were certainly not furnished with complete ceremonial costumes prepared by one workshop, from one batch of raw material. The only objects that they can be considered sets in terms of both style and workshop are pairs of large bronzes (such as ankle rings or massive bracelets), which were most often made from a homogeneous raw material and probably functioned together from manufacture to deposition in the grave. In the group of small bronzes, this contextual approach (as well as the functional one) confirmed a greater range of raw material patterns.

Cmentarzysko odkryte w miejscowości Świbie, gm. Wielowieś (stanowisko 16), pow. gliwicki, należało do nielicznych dużych cmentarzysk birytualnych z przewagą grobów szkieletowych zaliczanych do tzw. podgrupy gliwicko-częstochowskiej kultury łużyckiej, które nie doczekało się dotąd pełnego opracowania wyników badań wykopaliskowych. Dopiero dzięki dotacji Ministerstwa Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego w latach 2021-2022 możliwa stało się opracowanie i publikacja monograficzna materiałów zabytkowych zgromadzonych w Muzeum w Gliwicach. Birytualna nekropolia w Świbiu jest wyjątkowa z kilku powodów. W kategoriach czysto liczbowych jest to największe cmentarzysko grupy górnośląsko-małopolskiej kultury łużyckiej z wczesnej epoki żelaza (około 550 grobów), najbogaciej wyposażone w przedmioty metalowe w tej strefie kulturowej (ponad trzy tysiące przedmiotów brązowych i żelaznych oraz kilkadziesiąt ołowianych), z najliczniejszą kolekcją paciorków szklanych i z tworzyw szklistych z wczesnej epoki żelaza w Polsce (ponad 1700 okazów). Uderzające jest niezwykłe jak na górnośląsko-małopolską strefę kulturową w późnej epoce brązu i wczesnej epoce żelaza bogactwo materialne wyposażenia wielu spośród niemal 550 odkrytych zespołów grobowych, znajdujące analogię jedynie na najbogatszych nekropolach z tego czasu odkrytych w strefie nadodrzańskiej, takich jak Domasław, Kietrz czy Łazy. Co jednak istotniejsze, to możliwości jakie daje ta bogata kolekcja o doskonale udokumentowanym kontekście dla studiów nad precyzyjną typo-chronologią okresu halsztackiego na północ od Karpat. Uzyskany dzięki drobiazgowym studiom chronologicznym obraz rozwoju przestrzennego nekropolii pozwala na formułowanie wniosków dotyczących tempa i zakresu zmian kulturowych, w tym zmiany surowcowej, jakiej doświadczyły w początkach okresu halsztackiego obszary południowej Polski. Fakt znaczącej dominacji inhumacji nad ciałopaleniem stwarza ponadto unikatowe możliwości wyjaśnienia przeznaczenia i charakterystyki niektórych części stroju. Obecność licznych brązów w wielu grobach szkieletowych, sprzyjająca zachowaniu się szczątków kostnych mimo niekorzystnych warunków środowiskowych, pozwala z kolei na rekonstrukcję kondycji biologicznej i diety lokalnej społeczności. Wielkość nekropolii uwiarygadnia wyniki studiów nad kontaktami społecznymi i zróżnicowaniem majątkowym badanej społeczności. Publikacja składa się z dwóch tomów. W tomie drugim, będącym częścią analityczną opracowania, zawarto cztery bloki tematyczne. W pierwszym zaprezentowano analizę źródeł archeologicznych (zagadnienia związane z obrządkiem pogrzebowym, klasyfikacją formalno-typologiczną źródeł, chronologią stanowiska, zagadnieniami społecznymi i kwestiami kontaktów), a w trzech kolejnych blokach znajdziemy szereg analiz specjalistycznych, które są efektem aktualnej wielokierunkowej refleksji metodologicznej i poszerzających się możliwości interdyscyplinarnych badań w archeologii. Pierwszy blok tematyczny przygotowali Monika Michnik i Karol Dzięgielewski, natomiast trzy kolejne specjaliści z różnych ośrodków badawczych (Renata Abłamowicz, Łukasz Antosik, Mateusz Biborski, Mirosław Furmanek, Aldona Garbacz-Klempka, Agata Hałuszko, Fatima Pawełczyk, Sławomira Pawełczyk, Małgorzata Perek-Nowak, Natalia Piotrowska, Tomasz Purowski, Agata Sady-Bugajska, Joanna Słomska-Bolonek, Janusz Stępiński, Michał Wasilewski). W dziesięciu kolejnych rozdziałach przedstawiono obraz kondycji biologicznej populacji, zagadnienia związane z technologią produkcji wyrobów brązowych i żelaznych, a także omówiono wybrane grupy zabytków (ze szkła, bursztynu, kości, kamienia, fragmenty tekstyliów i ekofakty, jak kości zwierzęce czy węgle drzewne). Łącznie badaniom specjalistycznym poddano ponad 2 tysiące zabytków. Całość dopełnia bogaty materiał ilustracyjny. Projekt „Halsztackie cmentarzysko kultury łużyckiej w Świbiu (stan. 16) pow. gliwicki” dofinansowany został ze środków Ministerstwa Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego z priorytetu „Ochrona zabytków archeologicznych” (zadanie nr 1433/21). The cemetery discovered in the village of Świbie, commune of Wielowieś (site 16), District Gliwice, was one of the few large biritual cemeteries with a predominance of inhumation graves belonging to the so-called Gliwice-Częstochowa subgroup of the Lusatian culture. It was only thanks to a grant from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage in 2021-2022 that a monographic study and publication of the historic materials collected at the Gliwice Museum became possible. The biritual necropolis in Świbie is unique for several reasons. In purely numerical terms, it is the largest cemetery of the Upper Silesian-Małopolska group of the Early Iron Age Lusatian culture (approximately 550 graves), the richest in metal artefacts in this cultural zone (over three thousand bronze and iron artefacts and several dozen lead artefacts), and the most numerous collection of glass and vitreous beads from the Early Iron Age in Poland (over 1,700 specimens). What is striking is the material richness of furnishings in many of the nearly 550 discovered burial complexes, which is unusual for the Upper Silesian-Małopolska cultural zone in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age and can only be found in the richest necropolises of this period discovered in the Oder zone, such as Domasław, Kietrz or Łazy. What is more important, however, are the possibilities offered by this rich collection with its perfectly documented context for the study of the precise type-chronology of the Hallstatt period north of the Carpathians. The picture of the spatial development of the necropolis, obtained through meticulous chronological studies, makes it possible to formulate conclusions about the pace and extent of cultural change, including the raw material change experienced by the areas of southern Poland at the beginning of the Hallstatt period. The fact of the significant dominance of inhumation over cremation furthermore provides unique opportunities for explaining the purpose and characteristics of certain parts of the costume. The presence of numerous bronzes in many skeletal graves, favouring the preservation of skeletal remains despite adverse environmental conditions, in turn allows the reconstruction of the biological condition and diet of the local population. The size of the necropolis lends credence to the results of the study of the social contacts and wealth differentiation of the community studied. The publication consists of two volumes. Volume two, which is the analytical part of the study, contains four thematic blocks. The first presents an analysis of archaeological sources (issues related to funerary rites, formal-typological classification of sources, site chronology, social issues), while the following three blocks contain a number of specialist analyses, which are the result of current multi-directional methodological reflection and expanding possibilities for interdisciplinary research in archaeology. The first thematic block was prepared by Monika Michnik and Karol Dzięgielewski, while the next three were prepared by specialists from various research centres (Renata Abłamowicz, Łukasz Antosik, Mateusz Biborski, Mirosław Furmanek, Aldona Garbacz-Klempka, Agata Hałuszko, Fatima Pawełczyk, Sławomira Pawełczyk, Małgorzata Perek-Nowak, Natalia Piotrowska, Tomasz Purowski, Agata Sady-Bugajska, Joanna Słomska-Bolonek, Janusz Stępiński, Michał Wasilewski). Ten chapters present a picture of the biological condition of the population, issues related to the technology of production of bronze and iron items, and discuss selected groups of artefacts (made of glass, amber, bone, stone, textile fragments and ecofacts such as animal bones and charcoal). In total, over 2,000 artefacts have been subjected to specialist research. The whole is complemented by rich illustrative material. „The Hallstatt period cemetery of Lusatian culture in Świbie (site 16), District Gliwice” was co-financed from the funds of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage from the priority „Protection of archaeological heritage” (task no. 1433/21).

- Abstract
The Institute of Applied Physics "Nello Carrara" (IFAC) of CNR in Florence has matured historically a strong tradition and continues to play a leading role in the introduction and testing of new technologies for the study and conservation of works of art, applied to sculptures and paintings (eg. by Michelangelo, Donatello and Masaccio) and monuments of inestimable historical and artistic value (eg. the Colosseum, the House of Augustus), in collaboration with major national restoration centers. Currently IFAC develop integrated spectroscopy techniques in the UV-Vis-IR and THz-GHz ranges for the study of the constituent materials and the state of conservation of cultural heritage. The research focuses on devices for non-invasive and in situ characterization of materials and for imaging, as well as on procedures of multivariate analysis of spectral data. Remote sensing techniques based on fluorescence LIDAR were applied for the first time in the survey of monuments by IFAC. Advanced diagnostic, such as LIPS (laser induced plasma spectroscopy) and 3D microscopy were originally developed for archeometric studies. In the field of restoration, IFAC has been a pioneer in the development of laser systems for cleaning of works of art made in stone, metal and painted surfaces, transferring these technologies to the Italian industry, which has become a world leader.

- Abstract
As far as the wall paintings are concerned, Ostia is mainly known for its decorations dating to the second century onwards. Except for the paintings of the Domus dei Bucrani and the Santuario della Bona Dea in the Regio V, very few evidence is known for previous periods, corresponding to the four styles. However, recent studies carried out by members of the Centro Studi Pittura Romana Ostiense (CeSPRO) on fragmentary wall-paintings preserved in the Depositi Ostiensi reveal the presence in the city of several 1st c. BC and 1st c. AD wall-decorations. The wall-painting fragments studied in this project were found in secondary position, in different buildings of the site excavated during the 1970s and 1980s that remained unpublished after the discovery. After a thorough work of reconstruction of the fragments, it was possible to better clarify the characteristics and the evolution of Ostia’s wall-painting in a period prior to the great urban transformations linked to the construction of the port of Trajan. This contribution aims to present a first synthesis of the pictorial production of Ostia emerging from the recent studies, thanks to the analysis of the numerous plaster fragments of First, Second, Third and Fourth Style coming from the so-called Caseggiato delle Taberne Finestrate (IV, V, 18) and the Caseggiato dei Lottatori (V, III, 1). These two contexts were studied on the occasion of two PhD theses, discussed in 2017 respectively at the Université catholique de Louvain and the Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata. Even if the original provenance of the fragments is unknown, their study is particularly relevant, as they reveal the exceptional level of Ostian wall-painting production during the 1st c. BC and 1st c. AD, as well as the adherence to the urban decorative repertoire., Nel panorama delle ricerche sulla pittura antica, Ostia è nota principalmente per le attestazioni di epoca medio e tardo imperiale. Fatta eccezione per le decorazioni della Domus dei Bucrani e del Santuario della Bona Dea nella V regio, i contesti pittorici riferibili ai c.d. quattro stili sono stati generalmente trascurati e non hanno trovato sufficiente spazio in bibliografia. Tuttavia, un recente progetto di studio portato avanti da studiosi di vari Atenei afferenti al Centro Studi Pittura Romana Ostiense (CeSPRO) si è concentrato sul recupero e sull’analisi di numerosi frammenti d’intonaco di I sec. a.C. e I sec. d.C. conservati nei Depositi Ostiensi. Si tratta nello specifico di frammenti rinvenuti in giacitura secondaria in alcuni edifici scavati in profondità negli anni ’70-’80 del secolo scorso: rimasti inediti dopo la scoperta, questi frammenti hanno costituito l’oggetto di un attento lavoro di ricomposizione e hanno permesso di chiarire meglio le caratteristiche e l’evoluzione della pittura di Ostia in un’epoca antecedente alle grandi trasformazioni urbane legate alla costruzione del porto di Traiano. Il presente contributo mira a presentare i risultati delle ricerche effettuate nell’ambito di due tesi di dottorato discusse nel 2017 presso l’Université catholique de Louvain e l’Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata. Verranno presi in esame i frammenti pittorici riferibili ai quattro stili provenienti in particolare da due edifici ostiensi, il Caseggiato delle Taberne Finestrate (IV, V, 18) e il Caseggiato dei Lottatori (V, III, 1) e si tenterà un primo inquadramento delle attestazioni nell’ambito del panorama pittorico delineato dai recenti studi. Nonostante si tratti di arredi pittorici rinvenuti in giacitura secondaria, questi ultimi rivestono una considerevole importanza in quanto rivelano l’eccezionale livello della produzione ostiense di I sec. a.C. e d.C., nonché la piena adesione al repertorio decorativo urbano.

One of the most interesting finds of the III millennium BC are undoubtedly the cross-footed bowls distributed over a large area of Central and Southeast Europe. They are particularly numerous in the sites ascribed to the Vučedol culture and also appear in other closely related contemporary or partly contemporary cultures in Southern and Central Europe. These bowls, which are in a different state of preservation, have also been found in six caves in the Trieste Karst: Ciclami, Cotariova, Pettine, Edera, Zingari and Pettirosso (fig. 1; 2). The main feature of the Karst bowls are the rich decorations, mostly executed with impressions of double twisted cord. Several scientists have linked these bowls, together with other finds from the Trieste Karst, with the finds from the Deschmann's pile-dwellings near Ig in the Ljubljansko barje in central Slovenia. In the latter pile dwellings this type of bowl is particularly numerous (fig. 3) and is related to the recently redefined Ljubljansko barje variant of the Vučedol culture. According to the latest study (Leghissa, 2017), two main phases in the life of the Deschmann's pile dwellings can be identified: the older phase is characterized by ceramics attributed to the variant of the Vučedol culture and those indicating an influential sphere of the Central European cultures. The younger phase is attributed to the recently redefined Ljubljana Culture, which comprises fine-grained vessels decorated with impressions of cord wrapped around a plate, and mostly undecorated fine and coarse ware, which bears numerous similarities to the ceramics of the Somogyvar-Vinkovci and Mako-Kosihy-Čaka cultures. With the aim of identifying possible imports and other links between the areas studied, an international team (University of Trieste; Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste; Multidisciplinary Laboratory of the The "Abdus Salam" International Center for Theoretical Physics; ZRC SAZU, Institute of Archeology, Ljubljana, Slovenia; Budapest Neutron Center, Hungary) has carried out several traditional and innovative scientific analyses on a large number of samples. Mostly non-destructive analyses were carried out, in particular X-ray computed microtomography (microCT) and Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis (PGAA). The analyses showed that only one bowl from the Karst (n. 139461 from Cotariova - fig. 2 n. 4) could have been imported from Ljubljansko barje. Another 4 Karst bowls (n. 20591 from Ciclami - fig. 2 n. 1; n. 20419 from Cotariova - fig. 2 n. 3; nn. 139463 e 139462 from Pettine - fig. 2 nn. 7, 8) were most likely also imported, but not from central Slovenia. According to the results of the PGAA analysis, including a relatively high K2O content, and comparative typological data, two bowls (n. 20591 from Ciclami and n. 20419 from Cotariova; figs. 12, 13) could have been imported from Central Europe.

Caput Adriae ,tipologia ,Carso triestino ,archeometria ,età del rame ,asce forate - Abstract
A long-term project has allowed the provenance identification of the main groups of Neolithic and Copper Age stone axes from Caput Adriae. Stone artefacts can indeed be scientifically analysed to detect the geological origin of the raw materials and thus try to recognize ancient exchange networks. This contribution summarizes the lithology, typology, distribution and origin of the main groups of Copper Age shaft-hole axes, using their geological signature, together with other available archaeological indicators of medium- and long-distance connections, to reconstruct the main cultural developments that occurred in the investigated area. The main groups of Copper Age shaft-hole axes - Ljubljana type, serpentinite and metadolerite artefacts - were produced from raw materials outcropping in the Eisenkappler Diabaszug complex (Austria), the Hohe Tauern (Austria) and probably the Banija Ophiolite Complex (Croatia) respectively, all areas rich in copper ore deposits. These data demonstrate that since the 4th millennium BC, the exchange network responsible for the distribution of stone axes in the Caput Adriae changed from long-distance Neolithic connection systems based mainly on Italian jades and eclogites to a more complex one, characterized by a new interest for the eastern Alpine and northern Balkan world. The association of lithic raw materials used for axe production and copper minerals shows that the changes in raw material exploitation strategies between the Neolithic and Copper Age are probably related to the development of the first metallurgy. Archaeological evidence, including the distribution of Ljubljana type stone axes, S. Antonino/Kozarac copper axes, and Vučedol and Ljubljana style pottery, shows that the coastal belt of Caput Adriae, from the Friuli plain to the Istrian peninsula and beyond, was strongly connected with nowadays central Slovenia at least since the last centuries of the 4th millennium BC to the mid 3rd millennium BC.

International audience; Cet ouvrage recueille les actes du colloque du même nom qui s’est tenu à l’Université catholique de Louvain le 21 avril 2017, organisé conjointement par le Centre d’Étude des Mondes Antiques et le Centro Studi Pittura Romana Ostiense. L’objectif du colloque était de s’interroger sur l’utilité d’une approche technique à l’étude de la peinture antique, notamment grâce à l’appui des analyses archéométriques. Différentes études de cas de lieux et d’époques différentes ont permis d’alimenter une réflexion globale sur la question et de montrer l’importance de ces analyses pour approfondir nos connaissances en matière d’histoire des techniques et des pratiques de la peinture antique, spécialement romaine. Au sein de l’ouvrage, une première partie a été consacrée à la présentation du contexte d’Ostie et des résultats des analyses archéométriques sur des échantillons datant du Ier siècle av. J.-C. au Ier siècle ap. J.-C.
