Although his research ranged from prehistory to the Middle Ages, a particular place in his interests is
occupied by the prehistory and protohistory of the island, with particular regard to the Nuragic civilization and its best-known monuments, the «mysterious Sardinian Nuraghi, ... these stupendous monuments which, prior
to any written history, tower throughout the Sardinian soil...», as Spano himself writes in his volume “Memory
above the Nuraghi of Sardinia” (translation by the Authors). In this work we want to critically examine, also in the light of current theories and recent discoveries, Spano’s contributions to research in the Sardinian protohistoric archaeology, highlighting what is still current in his studies and what has now been overcome with the progress of scientific investigations.

These fortifications, which began to be built from the Copper Age, are the answer to a need for possession and control of the territory linked to a greater degree of social complexity, with an ever-increasing hierarchy and the rise to power of persons or groups who very often show the possession of weapons and, consequently, can be related to warlike activities. In Sardinia, Nuragic phenomenon developed during Protohistoy: an extraordinary culture ranging from the Middle to Late Bronze Age (XVIII-XII centuries BC), some of whose features could last from Final Bronze Age until the beginnings of Iron Age (XI-VIII centuries BC), characterized by the building of great monuments, especially nuraghi, cyclopean-type constructions similar to towers. These great buildings have multiple functions, but in particular were used to surveil the whole island territory. We have mainly carried out different GIS analyzes on different sample areas with the aim to reading the visual-perceptive aspects and to try to research about the relationship between settlements and territory and the mobility systems across different territories through the applying of the least-cost path analysis.

enhancement and conservation of places of the memory. The work of professionals of the sector takes on a particular importance because, by projecting the accessibility of these places, it marks the passage
from the phases of the study and research to those of enhancement and fruition, by relating the needs of the past with those of the present. In this work we will illustrate examples and good practices related
to the accessibility of cultural heritage.

cultural heritage tied to the agro-pastoral tradition and to the industrial archaeology. The project “Elini Paese Museo” is born from the need of enhance the cultural heritage, by inserting as starting points the
museum and the railway park, as possible future poles of attraction for the local cultural system. The main goal of the project “Elini Paese Museo” is the recognition of the cultural heritage as an essential
part of intercultural diversity and dialogue, through the creation of a path built with the local community and made of activities, such as workshops and seminars.

Nel testo si presenta anche una ricostruzione sperimentale di un guantone di pugilatore, proponendo una diversa interpretazione dello strumento. Parole chiave: Serri, Mont'e Prama, bronzi nuragici, civiltà nuragica, archeologia sperimentale. Abstract: This contribution proposes an unpublished bronze fragment of "boxer" from the nuragic sanctuary of Santa Vittoria di Serri and introduces the study of the iconography of the so-called "boxer" in Sardinian bronzes, starting from the analysis of the statues from the archaeological site of Mont'e Prama (Cabras). This contribution also presents an experimental reconstruction of the boxer's glove, proposing a different interpretation for the instrument.

On the edge of the settlement there is a giants’ tomb, which has been affected by an excavation intervention, restoration and stabilization within a project financed by the municipality of Seui. In this article we comunicate the first results of the activities.

in Europa” dell’Istituto Italiano di Preistoria e Protostoria, è stato possibile analizzare un
lotto di materiali archeologici, provenienti dagli scavi nel santuario di Santa Vittoria di Antonio
Taramelli dei primi anni del ’900 e conservati nei depositi della Soprintendenza ABAP di Cagliari.
Lo studio dei materiali, in parte inediti, ha permesso di ricostruire con maggiore precisione
la vita nel villaggio santuariale e inquadrarli in un contesto cronologico più preciso; in questa
sede sarà analizzato il contesto della Capanna A o degli altarini, ubicata tra il tempio a pozzo e il
recinto delle feste.

In particular, the great sanctuary of Santa Vittoria at Serri stands out on the homonymous plateau and exercises a control of the surrounding territory, corresponding in whole or part to the territories of the Serri, Escolca, Gergei, Isili, and Nurri municipalities. In this work, we experimented with an analytical procedure not yet widely used in the study of settlement processes in the Bronze and Iron Ages: that of Spatial Autocorrelation Techniques. The advantage of this approach lies in the fact that it not only shows spatial relationships, but does so on the basis of different values connected to the spatial data. Results showed that the Nuragic monuments were built near routes of passage so as to control the valleys below the basalt plains. This demonstrates the existence of a specific and organized approach for exploiting and monitoring the landscape, in which settlement choices depend on functionality criteria, with both nuraghi and villages having a key role on the strategic control of the territory.

Il Congresso ha come fulcro il Santuario nuragico di Santa Vittoria definito dal Lilliu luogo aperto e neutrale, spazio di incontro delle rappresentanze dei comprensori nuragici. Oggi con questo spirito sono chiamati al conventus federale di Serri tutti gli archeologi che con le loro ricerche sono impegnati nel ricostruire la vita di quelle comunità invitandoli a rappresentarle pubblicamente.
Potranno essere esposti i risultati anche parziali degli scavi in corso o degli anni precedenti e/o ricerche su tutte le tematiche relative all’età nuragica. Il Congresso prevede Comunicazioni orali e Poster; non è previsto limite di partecipazione alle due tipologie di sessione.
