L'abitato fortificato di Coppa Nevigata e il suo ruolo nel sistema economico e politico della Puglia settentrionale
THE SOCIO-POLITICAL ROLE OF THE BRONZE AGE FORTIFIED SETTLEMENT OF COPPA NEVIGATA (NORTHERN APU-LIA) - What set Coppa Nevigata apart from the neighbouring sites is its long lasting occupation (from the 18th to the 8th centuries BC) on one hand, and the extremely complex fortification lines, which were rebuilt and modified several times over the Bronze Age. The extensive systematic excavations at the site together with the results of a wide range of multi- disciplinary analyses provide us with an enlightening insight into the pattern of activities that were carried out in the set- tlement.
