Dall’interno della chaîne opératoire. Attività produttive tra pubblico e privato a Falerii dall’età tardo arcaica al periodo ellenistico
The city of Falerii has been widely (although non-systematically) investigated over the last 150 years. A research project being carried out at the University of Southampton and at the British School at Rome aims to collect all the published/unpublished data concerning those excavations, with the purpose of analysing in depth the diachronic development of the settlement from the 8th c. BC to at least the final Roman conquest of the city (241 BC, according to historical sources).
Within this framework, it has been possible to attempt to draw a comprehensive picture of the craft activities that are known presently in connection with the ancient Faliscan “metropolis”.
Our papers aim to present on the one hand an updated topographical reconstruction of the currently known craft activities, and on the other hand to (re)consider some old and new excavations that have been carried out (especially in the last 30 years) on the Civita Castellana plateau.
