Synthesizing some 30 years of archaeological research in south-east
Italy, this book discusses a millennium that witnessed breathtaking
changes: the first millennium BC. In nine to ten centuries the
Mediterranean societies changed from a great variety of mostly
small entities of predominantly tribal nature into the enormous
state currently indicated as the Roman Empire. This volume is a
case study discussing the pathway to complexity of one of the
regions that contributed to the formation of this large
state:south-east Italy. It highlights how initially small groups
developed into complex societies, how and why these adapted to
increasingly wide horizons, and how and why Italic groups and
migrants from the eastern Mediterranean interacted and created
entirely new social, economic, cultural and physical landscapes.
This synthesis is based on research carried out by many Italian
archaeologists and by research groups from quite a variety of other
countries. Amsterdam Archaeological Studies is a series devoted to
the study of past human societies from the prehistory up into
modern times, primarily based on the study of archaeological
remains. The series will include excavation reports of modern
fieldwork; studies of categories of material culture; and
synthesising studies with broader images of past societies, thereby
contributing to the theoretical and methodological debates in
archaeology.
