Insediamenti dell'età del bronzo fra Secchia e Reno. Formazione, affermazione e collasso delle terramare

The research focuses on the analysis of the settlement system between Secchia and Reno rivers (Emilia – Po Plain). A detailed analysis of the archaeological evidences (settlements, farms and cemeteries) offers a reconstruction of the demographic consistency of the communities and their organization. The integration of archaeological, archaeobotanical and archaeozoological data has added information about land productivity. Differences are highlighted between mountain, hill and plain areas during the Middle and Recent Bronze Age.
