The Campanian agrarian systems of the late Copper-Early Bronze Age (ca. 4550-3850 cal BP). A long-lasting agrarian management tradition before the Pomici di Avellino eruption
In the Piana Campana (Southern Italy), the repeated and sometimes devastating volcanic activities of the Somma-Vesuvius and Campi Flegrei, spread over a wide area and over centuries, led archaeologists to the recovery of detailed data about the past environment and human occupation during the Late Holocene. Settlements, burials, landscape and agrarian infrastructures (fields, tracks, wells, etc.) show an intense and continuous human presence since at least late Neolithic times (ca. 6.2 ka cal BP) also confirmed in the pollen diagrams.
