The main purpose of this research is to contribute to the definition of craft communities active on the Tolfa Mountains between 10th and 9th centuries BCE. Such “mountain artisans” are known especially thanks to the survival of their material culture, but their production modes, technological level and exchange dynamics are still largely unknown. Thanks to the numerous researches carried out in Southern Etruria, a considerable amount of analyzable data is available. By crossing the information (typological pottery studies; archaeozoological data and palynological analysis) contained in that "critical mass of data", one can try to characterize more precisely this particular historical moment.

Abstract
The main purpose of this research is to contribute to the definition of craft communities active on the Tolfa Mountains between 10th and 9th centuries BCE. Such “mountain artisans” are known especially thanks to the survival of their material culture, but their production modes, technological level and exchange dynamics are still largely unknown. Thanks to the numerous researches carried out in Southern Etruria, a considerable amount of analyzable data is available. By crossing the information (typological pottery studies; archaeozoological data and palynological analysis) contained in that "critical mass of data", one can try to characterize more precisely this particular historical moment.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
