His analysis touches on the western European perceptions of nature and culture that go back to the Age of Enlightenment. In his article, the motivation for safeguarding heritage stands out, as nature conservationists emphasize the long-term economic or ecological benefits, while cultural heritage managers point towards cultural or aesthetic benefits (Lowenthal 2005: 87). Others have made similar statements, some eight years later, calling the divide between the domains a fundamental error (Renes 2013; Harrison 2013).

This was so too with the Greek migration into Southern Italy, often referred to as ‘Greek colonization’. This paper will focus on the relations between indigenous peoples and Greek newcomers in Southern Italy, taking the Sibaritide area as its focal point, as well as on the methods for identifying these foreign newcomers through the analyses of the archaeological record. From the end of the ninth century BCE, a Euboean-Levantine presence is detectable in the Western Mediterranean, including Northern Africa, Spain and Italy. In the first half of the eighth century BC in the Sibaritide, a Greek-indigenous coexistence emerged in the settlement of Timpone della Motta. This coexistence entailed a shared and mixed cultural framework at the site, which is reflected in the loc...

Questo scritto va ad inserirsi in un lungo dibattito tra quelli che sono i rapporti tra gruppi diversi, all'inizio della colonizzazione 1 .

and quantities of imported archaeological artefacts, and with interpretations made in
alignment with the ancient written sources. This was so too with the Greek migration into
Southern Italy, often referred to as ‘Greek colonization’. This paper will focus on the
relations between indigenous peoples and Greek newcomers in Southern Italy, taking the
Sibaritide area as its focal point, as well as on the methods for identifying these foreign
newcomers through the analyses of the archaeological record. From the end of the ninth
century BCE, a Euboean-Levantine presence is detectable in the Western Mediterranean,
including Northern Africa, Spain and Italy. In the first half of the eighth century BC in
the Sibaritide, a Greek-indigenous coexistence emerged in the settlement of Timpone della
Motta. This coexistence entailed a shared and mixed cultural framework at the site, which
is reflected in the local pottery production. Based on the study of the ceramic technology,
this paper seeks to shed light on the possibilities and limitations of technological analysis
for identifying migration features in the archaeological record.

The contributions within this edition converge at the crossroads of time, where the echoes of ancient civilizations reverberate through the narratives shaping our present reality. They encapsulate the spirit of archaeology as a multifaceted discipline, intertwining past narratives with contemporary reflections on nationalism and societal constructs.

Dealing with Legacies of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. This collection of peer-reviewed papers stems in part from the successful workshop held at McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge in December 2018 under the aegis of the DAAD-Cambridge Hub. The event gathered several international heritage experts and professionals from both Germany and Italy to explore the complexities of handling Heritage related to Fascism and National Socialism.
The selection of papers contribute much to the debate on the shifting conditions of the reception of dictatorial regimes, and more specifically the fate of fascist material legacies from the aftermath of WWII to the present day.
The second part of this volume includes an additional contribution by Aydin Abar which keeps in with the broad theme of political reappropriation of the past lying at the core of Bartolini’s collection of papers but strays away from their geographical focus by extending the analysis to the exploitation of Achaemenian material legacies in reinforcing nationalist narratives in nineteenth and twentieth century Iran.
