دینامیک‌های استقرار در روستاهای ایتالیا بین دوران باستان متأخر و قرون وسطی اولیه

This volume gathers a series of selected contributions about settlement patterns in the Italian countryside between Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. It provides a critical overview of the most recent research carried out on late antique and early medieval Italy (Friuli Venezia Giulia, Liguria, Emilia Romagna, Tuscany, Lazio, Apulia and Calabria) and uses innovative interpretative frameworks to gain a better understanding of rural settlement dynamics. ANGELO CASTRORAO BARBA (Palermo, 1983) is currently a Fellow at the University of Palermo (Sicily, Italy). His principal fields of interest are Late Antique and Early Medieval Archaeology and the transformations of landscape and settlement patterns from Roman times to the Middle Ages in Mediterranean area.

In 2014, he received a post-graduate Master Diploma in GIS & Remote Sensing (Center for Geo Technologies / Siena). In 2014-2015 he was guest researcher at VU University Amsterdam and a postdoc fellow at the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome (KNIR). Currently, he is a researcher on the project “Harvesting Memories” which aims to study ecology and archaeology of rural landscapes in Sicani Mountains (C-W Sicily), and he is field director of the excavation of the long-term settlement of Contrada Castro (Corleone, Palermo).
