Technical Information
The journal was created with the intention of continuing the research activity started many years ago by the Civic Archaeological Museum of Verucchio. The central objective of the Museum has always been to combine a rigorous scientific approach with a proposal that is accessible and enjoyable by the public. The first issue is divided into three distinct sections. The first, dedicated to Verucchio, opens with two reports on archival data relating to the materials preserved in the L. Pigorini National Prehistoric Ethnographic Museum in Rome and in the Civic Archaeological Museum of Bologna and on research and archive data relating to the Lippi Necropolis. We continue with the presentation of the excavation data: preliminary forms of further tombs excavated in the Lippi necropolis between 2006 and 2008; study of the botanical remains of the very rich Lippi tomb 12/2005; report on the intervention in the settlement area in Via Nanni. Other complete presentations of classes of materials classified typologically are also included. In the second section, dedicated to Emilia-Romagna, the theme of wooden thrones is presented, also in the light of other excavations conducted in Bologna and Imola, and the excavation of the necropolis of Pontesanto in Imola. The third section sees a contribution on the inhumation tombs of the Emo necropolis in Padua, one on the bird-shaped glass beads and finally one on the narrative method in the art of situlae.
This journal was created with the intention of continuing the research which has for many years been carried out by the Museo Civico Archeologico of Verucchio. The main aim of the Museum is that of combining a rigorous scientific approach with one which is both accessible and pleasing to the public. The first issue is divided into three sections. The first, dedicated to Verucchio, opens with two reports on archive data. One deals with archival material relating to material kept in the Museo Nazionale Preistorico L. Pigorini of Rome, and in the Museo Civico Archeologico of Bologna, and the other with archival material relating to research and excavations concerning the Lippi necropolis. Then there are a set of papers presenting excavation data: reports on some more of the tombs excavated between 2005 and 2009 in the Lippi necropolis (40 tombs had been published in the 2015 volume); a study of the botanical remains from the very rich tomb Lippi 12/2005; and a paper on the excavation in Via Nanni which revealed part the settlement. Finally, there are four papers each presenting in full a catalog of a single class of material and its typological classification. The second section, dedicated to Emilia-Romagna, consists of a paper on the wooden thrones from Verucchio, viewing them in the wider context of other excavations conducted at Bologna and Imola, and a paper on the excavation in the necropolis of Pontesanto at Imola. The third section contains a paper on the inhumation burials in the necropolis of Emo at Padua, one on glass bird beads, and finally one on the narrative method in situla art.
