Abstract

ABSTRACT – Bronze Age ornaments in vitreous material from southern Italy and from the sicilian-aeolian area: a general overview in the light of new data This paper presents the results of an extensive study – carried out within two PhD researches – on the Bronze Age vitreous materials beads found in southern Italy and Sicilian-Aeolian area. The research was based on an overall survey of the beads (several of them unpublished, as in the case of dozens of specimen from the excavation of Punta di Zambrone), on their typological classification and on new archaeometric analyses carried out on 36 samples, coming from: S. Abbondio (Pompei-NA), Grotta Cardini (Praia a Mare-CS), Vivara-Punta D’Alaca (Procida-NA), Murgia Timone (Matera-MT), Punta di Zambrone (Zambrone-VV), Torre Castelluccia (Pulsano-TA), Broglio (Trebisacce-CS), Roca (Melendugno-LE) and Lipari-Piazza Monfalcone (Lipari-ME). The chronological range of the examined contexts – much wider than the one considered so far – includes the whole Bronze Age, from the early (S. Abbondio) to the final phase (Lipari, Torre Castelluccia, Roca). Also the investigated geographic area is more extensive than the one so far analytically studied, mainly related to Apulia. The archaeological study and the typological classification led to a better definition of the types and of their chronological and geographic distribution. The archaeometric analyses gave relevant information about the production methods and the geographic origin of the vitreous materials. From the combination of the two sets of data new perspectives emerge about the circulation of the different productions.
