“…The period between ca. 1650 and 1350 BC marks the maximum development of Bronze Age settlements between the Alps and the Apennines [ 11 , 12 , 115 ] corresponding to the population peak observed in the SCPD curve. These overall favorable conditions for population growth are possibly linked to a transition from slash-and-burn forms of agriculture to more productive irrigated croplands [ 116 ], even though the direction of causality does not appear to be solvable with the available data.…”

The reconstruction of past demographic patterns is a fundamental step towards a better understanding of human-environment relations, especially in terms of quantifiable anthropic impact and population susceptibility to environmental changes. The recently developed Summed Calibrated Probability Distributions (SCPD) approach, based on large collections of archaeological radiocarbon dates, provides a new tool to obtain continuous prehistoric population curves suitable for comparison with palaeoenvironmental time series. Despite a wide application in Mesolithic and Neolithic contexts worldwide, the use of the SCPD method remains rare for post-Neolithic societies. Our aim is to address this visible gap and apply the SCPD approach to South European archeological contexts between the Bronze Age and the transition into the Iron Age (1800–800 cal. BC), then evaluating these results against local archeological narratives and palaeoecological data. We first test the SCPD method at a supra regional scale, ranging from the Ebro to the Danube rivers, and subsequently in five selected regions within this area. We then compare the regional population curves to climate data reconstructed from local palynological records. Our results highlight the contrast between a stable supra regional demographic trend and more dynamic regional patterns. We do not observe any convincing long-term correlations between population and climate, but localized episodes of demographic stagnation or decline are present in conjunction with climatic shifts or extremes. Nevertheless, climate change as a triggering factor should be considered with caution, especially in peripheral areas where the archaeological data is faint, or where local evidence points to contemporaneous, ongoing landscape overexploitation.

“…Peroni, 1989; 1996). The respective leading groups or families presumably evolved into a dominant class in the newly-founded centres (for example: Guidi, 2008: 184, 187); their élite status in southern Etruria is manifested in the archaeological record, for instance as tumulus burials (Cataldi and Mandolesi, 2010; Bietti Sestieri, 2012: 293, fig. 27) and in exquisite bronze artefacts (for example: Maggiani, 1997: 439–43, figs 2, 6–7; Haynes, 2000: 12–13) dating no later than the eighth century bc (Barker and Rasmussen, 1998: 77–9) 17 .…”

“…This resulted in generally smaller centres and territories in comparison to the centres in southern Etruria 21 . The development of social stratification in Latium also appears to have begun before the rise of the proto-urban centres: for example, the early iron age burials in the Osteria dell'Osa necropolis have been interpreted as evidence of early political/military and religious leadership (Bietti Sestieri, 2012: 278–9) 22 . Rich burials and luxury items (Bartoloni, 2010: 160–1; Attema et al , 2013) demonstrate the rise of an aristocracy in the seventh century bc in Latium as well (Cornell, 1995: 84–5; Cifani, 2002b: 247–8; Bartoloni, 2003; Fulminante, 2003), but if we consider the putative models of centre formation and territorial organization in Latium as representative of the underlying societal structures, the élite status and centre hierarchy may have been less accentuated in Latium than in Etruria (for example: Cifani, 2002a: 220–1; 2003: 191–3).…”

Approaching Road-Cuttings as Instruments of Early Urbanization in Central Tyrrhenian Italy

The landscape of central Tyrrhenian Italy became increasingly engraved with roads cut deep in the ground in the course of the seventh and sixth centuries bc. This development was mainly for pragmatic reasons, such as the need for better infrastructure and transport facilities resulting from increased vehicular traffic between and within regions. In addition to providing logistic benefits, road-cuttings also contributed to developing the socio-political aspects of the proto-urban centres of central Italy through their monumentality, which arguably was utilized in politicizing territorial landscapes as well as in enhancing funerary rituals. In this paper I shall examine road-cuttings as instruments of urbanization in iron age and Archaic central Italy by attempting to present a point of view in which the road-cuttings in central Italy are seen not only as pragmatic facilities, but also as building blocks of landscapes of power and identity. This goal is approached by using the methods of landscape archaeology and phenomenology in a study of 110 road-cuttings from central Italy and assessing their relations to their physical surroundings.
