The Chora of Metaponto 6 - A Greek Settlement at Sant'Angelo Vecchio (Hardcover)

The sixth volume in the Institute of Classical Archaeology's series
on the rural countryside (chora) of Metaponto is a study of the
Greek settlement at Sant'Angelo Vecchio. Located on a slope
overlooking the Basento River, the site illustrates the
extraordinary variety of settlements and uses of the territory from
prehistory through the current day. Excavators brought to light a
Late Archaic farmhouse, evidence of a sanctuary near a spring, and
a cluster of eight burials of the mid-fifth century BC, but the
most impressive remains belong to a production area with kilns.
Active in the Hellenistic, Late Republican, and Early Imperial
periods, these kilns illuminate important and lesser-known features
of production in the chora of a Greek city and also chronicle the
occupation of the territory in these periods. The thorough,
diachronic presentation of the evidence from Sant'Angelo Vecchio is
complemented by specialist studies on the environment, landscape,
and artifacts, which date from prehistory to the post-medieval
period. Significantly, the evidence spans the range of Greek site
types (farmhouse, necropolis, sanctuary, and production center) as
well as the Greek dates (from the Archaic to Early Imperial
periods) highlighted during ICA's survey of the Metapontine chora.
In this regard, Chora 6 enhances the four volumes of The Chora of
Metaponto 3: Archaeological Field Survey-Bradano to Basento and
provides further insight into how sites in the chora interacted
throughout its history.
