“…The excavation suggests that the original hut plan was a structure with apsidal ending, typical of the horse-shoe shaped huts of the Palma Campania culture. The enclosure shows parallels with those found at Gricignano (Marzocchella, 1998), Afragola (Laforgia et al, 2009), Nola-Piazza d'Armi and Nola-Croce del Papa. The hut probably had a maximum width of 5 metres, like hut 4 at Nola-Croce del Papa (Fig.…”

Palma Campania, the type-site of the Early Bronze Age Palma Campania culture, was covered by the products of the Avellino Pumice eruption, and was thus preserved in a similar way to the Roman sites in Campania covered by the AD 79 eruption. The devastating effects of this Plinian eruption led to the belief that it had killed a large part of the local population and/or caused large-scale emigration and landscape desertification. However, new sites have been found that were established shortly after the eruption and geoarchaeological studies of areas close to the Somma-Vesuvius volcano (Boscoreale, Boscotrecase, Torre Annunziata/Oplontis, Pompeii) and also further away (the Benevento area, Irpinia and the Salerno area) have shown continuity of occupation after the Avellino Pumice eruption and during the later, Middle Bronze Age, AP1 and AP2 eruptions. Palynological analysis also shows great similarity between the environments before and after the Avellino Pumice eruption. The pottery evidence is typologically very similar before and after the eruption, which suggests that the people who resettled the Campanian plain after the eruption were closely related to those living there previously, whose material culture is that of the Palma Campania culture. Radiocarbon dates also suggest a rapid recolonisation of some sites. In this paper we shall show that although the pyroclastic products of the Avellino Pumice eruption certainly had a major impact on the landscape (soils, flora, water resources) and may have killed off a percentage of the population in some areas, this eruption was not the main cause of the socioeconomic and political transformations that occurred in this area during the Middle Bronze Age, which we believe to have been mainly caused by the cumulative effect of the later AP1 and AP2 eruptions.

“…NaturallyB ronze Agea rchaeology does not have to be spectacular,but discoveries like this are of interest to more than an arrowc ircle of specialists. One might sayt he samef or the siteo fN ola in Campania, destroyed in the Avellino eruption of Vesuvius around 1900 BC (Laforgia et al 2009;A lbore Livadie et al 2018;A lessandri 2019); or the recent excavation of Must Farm in Cambridgeshire, eastern England, which has produced large numbers of organic artefacts that were hitherto mostlyk nown from Alpine lake sites . These,a nd the much largern umbers of "ordinary" sites are what creates the Bronze Ageinour livesand minds, and creates a "life" for the period as an entity in itself.…”

This book is the written version of aseries of lecturesdelivered in Munich in the academic year 2015-16 to members of the MünchnerZentrumfür Antike Welten (MZAW) when Iwas Gastprofessor für Kulturgeschichte des AltertumsinLudwig-Maximilians-Universität München. The lecturesh aveb een turned into aw ritten text rather thanaspoken lecture, with bibliography, and have been significantly updated-something that was essential giventhe huge amount of publishedmaterial thath as emergedi nt he last few years and continues to emerge,i np articular the highlyn ovel and important developments in archaeogenetics. In November 2015,w hen the first lecture was given, there wereo nlyacouple of relevant papers available dealing with the genetic origin of Bronze Agep eople; since then, three or four papers ay ear have appeared, shedding light on the whole area in ways that were scarcelyi maginable ad ecade ago. The book is as eries of reflections on the liveso fd ifferent aspects of the Bronze Agearchaeology of Europe. The examples used are inevitablyapersonal choice which makes no claim to completeness or systematic coverage. They reflect personal interests, which Ih ope mayb ei nteresting for aw ider audience-such as was present at the original lectures.T here, the audience consisted mainlyofstaff and studentsofthe MZAW and more particularlyofthe Graduate School "Distant Worlds".These organisations cover aw ide rangeo fd isciplines covering multiple aspects of the ancient world, from classicalp hilologyt o New Testament studies, from prehistoric archaeology to Roman law, from Egyptology to Byzantine art and Sinology. While everyone had an interest in the ancient world in some manner, the specifics of Bronze Agea rchaeology were of course mostlyu nfamiliar to them; hence an approach which sought to provide interesting elements thatc ould find ar esonancef or scholars from these widely differing disciplines. It is apleasure to be able to offer my deep thanks to anumber of people who invited me to Munich and make my stayprofitable and enjoyable. Prof. Dr Carola Metzner-Nebelsick was the initiator of the invitation, which was subsequentlyissued by Prof. Dr Walther Sallaberger. By the time of my arrival, the Chairman (Sprecher)o ft he MZAW wasP rof. Dr Friedhelm Hartenstein, whose kindness and helpfulness Ia cknowledge with gratitude. In dayt od ay matters, however, Io ffer special thanks to Dr Caroline Veit and AnnaW aldschütz, MA, for their care of me during my stay. Others who helped in various ways wereE mer.
