Organ of the Department of Historical, Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences of Antiquity, this journal collects the results of aggregated research in thematic areas in the perspective of an integrated study of ancient societies in all their aspects - environmental, technological, economic, social, political, artistic , ideological - considered as interacting elements in systems with specific transformation dynamics. The studies that converge in it are conducted on different documentary materials - archaeological, philological-epigraphic, ecological-naturalistic, etc. - through equally different methodologies and analytical techniques, in view of the convergence of disciplines in a wider reciprocal interaction. The chronological and geographical location goes from prehistory to late antiquity and the Middle Ages, even if the prevailing interests are concentrated in the ages ranging from the near-eastern and European neolithization to the Greek and Roman world. The eleventh volume, relating to the years 2001-2003, includes essays divided into four themes that broaden the scientific interests to a broad geographical horizon, covering a chronological period from the prehistoric age to the Middle Ages.

Recognize the modalities of the abandonment of ancient Siponto - already a Roman colony in the 2nd century BC, then an early bishop's seat that with alternating vicissitudes through a long history of settlement - and give a face to the city, of which today episodic material traces, albeit marked relevance, essentially reproduce the same landscape known to ancient travelers, is the intent of this study. Making use of the most up-to-date methods on the ground and in the laboratory, the archaeological investigation begins to define the layout of a suburban urban area, close to the northern limit of this important port center on the Adriatic that relives in the memory of today's town of Manfredonia. developed immediately further north, without apparent continuity with the site of the ancient ruins due to the recent formation of the interposed tourist village of Siponto. Walls, houses, religious and funerary spaces, streets with external circulation areas together with the multiple aspects of the lively urban socio-economic reality and the daily life of its inhabitants are returned by a work in progress, part of an integrated program between the Superintendence for Heritage Archaeologists of Puglia and the University of Bari. The results of the first five excavation campaigns, carried out in the form of the school-field starting from 2000, presented in this volume, the realization of which was possible thanks to the funding of several Bodies , are also available in the permanent exhibition set up in the National Museum of the Castle of Manfredonia, where in an unprecedented form past and present coexist in the material remains and in the scientific-technological experimentation that decodes even the most faint traces. A volume that introduces the reader to the intriguing world of circumstantial disciplines, of which archeology is a part, and which offers a valid tool for those who intend to approach it.

Peucezia in Roman times. The archaeological and topographical picture, edited by Angela Ciancio, Progedit, Bari 2002, pp. XIV, 140, richly illustrated, 24 cm, br. and.

Series: Itineraries.

During the Augustan principality, the term “Peucezia”, now in disuse, no longer indicates any political-juridical individuality, and the “Peuceti” represent only a learned historical-geographical quotation. However, it cannot be excluded that the implementation of the process of integration with the Roman-imperial system by the communities belonging to this territorial district is influenced by the socio-economic specificities and cultural heritage of the area. The dynamics underlying this evolutionary phase are still not sufficiently known, since the analysis of the archaeological evidence of the period coming from this part of the Apulian region is still partial. The field researches of recent years in central Puglia, however, enrich the epigraphic documentation and material culture by offering new elements of knowledge and opportunities for reflection on a still hazy period of ancient Apulian history.

Francesco della Martora: an economist in the 19th century Capitanata, edited by Luca Lombardi, Preface by Giuseppe Ruotolo, work published under the aegis of the Italian Academy of Numismatic Studies, Biblionumis Edizioni, Terlizzi 2016, pp. XVI, 68, 21 x 15 cm, editorial paperback, ISBN 978-88-99512-01-9.

Historical Sciences, 1. Series directed by Luca Lombardi.

Francesco della Martora (1809-1884) was a concrete protagonist of the economic, moral and civil development of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, however his figure until now has been known only to a small circle of local scholars. Economist with an eclectic culture, with his multifaceted activity he played an important role in supporting, progressing and expanding the industry, agriculture and commerce of Capitanata and the surrounding areas, to the point that his ideas and his work were universally recognized. and appreciated. The analysis of the figure of Francesco della Martora and his activity is entrusted in this volume to two works. The first work, "A Foggia economist of the nineteenth century. Francesco della Martora", by Dr. A. Taronna, was prepared as a thesis for the Faculty of Law of the R. University of Bari, for the academic year 1931-32 . Unpublished to date and consisting of six chapters, the text is the result of careful investigation and presents the life, pragmatic nature and work of the economist of Capitanata with efficacy and compositional agility. The dissemination of this document after almost 90 years from its creation allows it to be rescued from oblivion, enriching with a piece the mosaic of the biographies published by the illustrious men of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, in an area in which, today as at the time of the drafting of the work, is particularly lacking. This bibliographic insufficiency reveals the difficulties encountered by the author in his investigations and allows us to better appreciate the fruit of his labors. In the sparse bibliography available on the subject there is the "Funeral praise of the knight Francesco della Martora" made by E. Barone, the second work included in this volume. Printed for the first time in Foggia in 1884, for the types of the S. Pollice typolithographic establishment, it is anastatically re-proposed in this text to complete Dr. Taronna's paper. Two texts are therefore made available to scholars, as a tool for work and knowledge, from which peculiarities in the past little considered, or completely ignored, of the man della Martora and the economist della Martora emerge with vigor. Published by Luca Lombardi with a Preface by Giuseppe Ruotolo, the work, which constitutes the first volume of the Historical Sciences Series, was printed in a limited number of copies and on ivory paper. As proof of the exceptional nature of this publishing event, the publication is made under the aegis of the Italian Academy of Numismatic Studies.
