Vivere ad Arpi: le trasformazioni di una città daunia tra Alessandro il Molosso e Annibale

International audience; Since 2014, the Centre Jean Bérard of Naples and the Università degli Studi of Salerno, in collaboration with the Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio per le Province di Barletta-Andria-Trani e Foggia resumed the study of Arpi’s Daunian settlement. The goal was to specify the phases of frequentation and abandon, as well as the use of the domestic spaces, and the interactions between the residential zone, the cult areas, and the funeral places. Previous research data and the study of rural and urban landscapes’ dynamics were used for this task. The research initially focused on the resumption of the so-called «mosaic of lions and panthers» domus’ documentation, studied by Marina Mazzei in the 90’s. It was progressively extended to all data related to Montarozzi area, located in the south-east part of the Arpi settlement. The combined study of structures, necropolis’ nucleus, roads and water supply/draining systems, enabled us to extend the research, little at a time, from a single context to the Montarozzi neighborhood, and eventually to the whole settlement area. The cultural and environmental transformations of the settlement in contact with the colonial cities, the North Greeks, and the Romans, were thus traced back throughout the evolution of the Daunian house from the end of the 5th century to the 2nd century.
