Hybridization, transculturation, assimilation and cultural change are crucial concepts in our society. In broad terms, they show how cultural links between different social groups are powerful indicators of the emergence of new societies. They rise spontaneously or triggered by external events, but the picture is not so simplistic: it is worth to address shades and variables in order to characterize certain contexts, in which these processes took place by questioning the nature of the cultural links. Recognizing their presence/absence in foreign objects, skills and ideas, as well as in the continuity of certain past features, styles and functions will allow a wide analysis of the cultural encounters, going beyond mere chronological schemes. To do so, it is fundamental that different disciplines, such as archaeology, history, art history, ethnology, anthropology and sociology contribute to the debate, discussing their own subjects and their methodologies, providing their own insight. This session deals with evidences from the Mediterranean basin between the Prehistory and the Late Antiquity. The analysis will be focused on the cultural links established between humans (e.g. transfer of knowledge), non-humans (e.g. associations in archaeological contexts) and between them (e.g. emergence of new spatial vocabulary or cultural setting). To compare different experiences a brief questionnaire will be provided after the session. Contributors from different geographical, chronological domains and from different humanities' disciplines are strongly encouraged to apply.
In Italy we are used to say: lots of enimies, a lot of honour; some words from a very famous Italian movie fit, too: "you can't kill a man (a woman, in this context) already dead"

This book studies the imported and local pottery from 238 BC to 700 AD that was recovered during a survey of the territory of Nora (Cagliari - South Sardinia) in diachronic and synchronic terms. The pottery provides a stimulus for the reconstruction of the development of the territory of Nora, underlining the presence of farms, villas, necropolises and quarries, which were located in the land behind Nora. The huge quantity of pottery, coming from the whole Mediterranean area, covers a rich and varied spectrum, which reveals the different attitudes of each historical period, from the first arrival of the Romans in Sardinia till Late Antiquity, just before the Arab occupation of the island.

In Late Roman period cargoes from the whole Mediterranean area (Hispania, Levant, Italic Peninsula, Calabria, Sicily, Africa and Gaule) joined the port.
The Lusitanian products arrived at Olbia since the 1st AD.: are attested Dressel.
Particularly interesting are the Late Roman importations; in 4th and 5th AD the Lusitanian amphoras join Olbia, carrying fish products –contained in Almagro 50, 51 AB, 51C, Keay 78/Sado 1-.
Lusitania was at that time the major fish product exporter in the Western Mediterranean area; its direct competitor was North Africa –mainly actual Tunisia-, but, among the amphorae attestations of Olbia, Africa seems not to be sufficiently competitive in this sector.
In conclusion this paper will deal with the importation of Lusitanian fish products to Olbia in Late Antiquity, analyzing this stuffs together with the whole mass of importation from the others Mediterranean area (Baetica, North Africa, and Levant).
Nobody till now has studied the commercial role of Olbia –the Sardinian port right in front of Rome in the Tyrrhenian sea- on the basis of the amphorae data, in general and on the Lusitanian products in detail.
In Cagliari during the Imperial period –1st AD-3rd AD- are attested pitched amphorae Pascual and Dressel 2-4 Catalan and Campanian –from the Vesuvian area-.
Are present Kapitan II and Aegyptian AE3, amphorae from Cilicia, a Pseudo-Cos en cloche with incision at the base of the handle and Gauloise 1, 4, 5 and pitched oil amphoraea from Baetica –Dressel 20-.
A wreck has been found dating half 3rd AD: it contains amphorae from Gaule, North Africa and Baetica (African IIA, IIC, Keay 25A, Gauloise 4 and Beltran IIB). All the amphoras reveal pitch remains.
In Late Roman period are attested Keay LII and amphorae with “ansa a fiorellino”. 6th and 7th centuries preserved LRA 1, 2 and 4 and a globular amphora with part of an incised Greek inscription on the shoulder.
On a promontory faced on the Gulf of Cagliari is Nora. It was a Phoenician, Punic and Roman port.
In Hellenistic period –among underwater findings- are present amphorae from Cos,Chios, maybe carried by Punic ships, because of the majority of the amphoras are Punic.
Near the Coltellazzo promontory is located a wreck which carried wine inside Dressel 1A, 1B and 1C of Italian production.
In Imperial period are documented pitched Haltern 70 dating 40-50 AD.
From Hispania are oil amphorae (Dressel 20 and Dressel 9) with a pitched PE 41 from Balears.
In 3rd AD are present pitched wine amphorae PE 25.
To end 3rd AD-strart 4th AD belongs a wreck with a mix cargo of pitched amphorae: Afriana IIA, IID, Keay 25 and 1B from Byzacena, Gauloise 4 and Beltran 72 from Cadiz.
Between Cagliari and Nora during the underwater excavations have been fund two big dolia, pitched in the external and internal parts of their bases. Near them there were Late Roman amphorae (pitched inside)
The data reveal importations of amphorae and stuff from all the Mediterranean sea: the ports and the city of South Sardinia were involved in the shipping routes crossing the Mare Nostrum.
The extraction took place on outcrops, which prove to have been numerous in the proximity of the urban centre and in its territory. The areas identified show earthworks, cutting for extraction, blocks and fragments of worked stone. In some cases the toponyms may have conserved traces of the quarrying activities, as in the case of Sa Perdera, Sa Perderedda (probably from stone in Sardinian).
The first exploitation of such quarries dates back to the Punic period, continuing between the 2nd century BC and the 6th AD in the Roman age.
Keywords: Sardinia, Nora, Roman quarries.
La Sardegna, attraverso le attestazioni di anfore baleariche di epoca romana e tardo-antica e la documentazione di bacini, mortaria e produzioni anforiche tardo-antiche (Keay 70 e 79), conferma il ruolo mediatore delle Isole Baleari nei flussi commerciali all’interno del bacino del Mediterraneo occidentale.

Situé le long des voies commerciales de la mer Tyrrhénienne, Gênes est un port d’intérêt majeur tant pour sa situation centrale au sein de la côte ligure, que pour son rôle de médiateur entre l’arrière-pays et les établissements côtiers.
Il s’agira ici d’analyser certains contextes céramiques qui présentent des éléments massaliotes. On s’attachera notamment à l’étude des productions amphoriques.
Au cœur d’un riche panorama commercial, la cité apparaît liée au commerce massaliote. Il sera ainsi particulièrement intéressant d’analyser le rôle du centre portuaire pris en tenaille entre Massalia et l’Étrurie, ainsi que les implications et les conséquences induites par ces deux pôles sur les échanges au sein de la cité, et plus largement, au sein des routes maritimes.

Anche in epoca fenico-punica tali isole costituivano un approdo fondamentale per le rotte commmerciali del Mediterraneo Occidentale. In periodo romano lungo tali percorsi si sviluppano grandi porti, tra questi: Pollentia, Turris Libisonis, Olbia.
Porti e città costiere delle isole sono animati per l’arrivo e la partenza di navi proveniente da tutto il bacino Mediterraneo. Tali centri sono siti di importazione e ridistribuzione di merci, oppure semplicemente punti di passaggio ed approdo lungo rotte destinate ad altri porti? All’interno del nostro intervento analizzeremo questa problematica, basandoci sullo studio delle anfore da salsamenta provenienti dalla Lusitania.
La localizzazione dei relitti, che contengono anfore lusitane, mette in evidenza una particolare concentrazione dei rinvenimenti lungo le coste Settentrionali della Sardegna, nello Stretto di Bonifacio, che nel collegamento verso Roma rappresentava un punto di passaggio tanto fondamentale, quanto pericoloso. Nelle Baleari ed in particolare nella baia di Cabrera la presenza di anfore lusitane è attestata nei relitti di Cabrera I e III. I contenitori lusitani tardo antichi sono documentati anche lungo le coste della Sicilia Orientale.
Fra Baleari, Sardegna e Corsica si intersecano le rotte tra Penisola Iberica, Penisola Italica, Nord Africa e Gallia, mentre la Sicilia rappresenta il perno di collegamento tra Mediterraneo Centrale ed Orientale, cui erano destinati –anche se in percentuale minore- i prodotti da salagione lusitani.
La sintesi di pubblicazioni inerenti scavi, survey e ricerche subacquee, assieme ad una interessante porzione di dati ancora inediti, consente di tracciare un preliminare quadro degli scambi commerciali attorno alle isole e di ragionare e discutere del ruolo rivestito dalle anfore lusitane, che circolavano all’interno di tali flussi commerciali tra metà I d.C. e fine V d.C.
The reconstruction is based on the survey data and on the pottery evidences.
Le anfore lusitane per prodotti da salagione si inseriscono nel mercato del Mediterraneo occidentale e trovano forti concorrenti nei contenitori da trasporto africani, ma soprattutto dell’Hispania Medidionale: la Betica.
I reperti rinvenuti nel corso della ricognizione di Nora costituiscono solo una testimonianza di in un più ampio panorama che investe l’intera Sardegna in IV e V secolo d.C.
Le anfore lusitane del territorio di Nora rappresentano –pertanto- un tassello che permette di arricchire le rotte commerciali e di irraggiamento dei prodotti lusitani all’interno del mare nostrum occidentale.
specialisti delle discipline storico-letterarie
si propone come la prima
tappa di un percorso articolato in due
momenti, uno storico-letterario e uno, a
seguire, artistico-archeologico -al quale
sono stati invitati studiosi del locale
Museo Archeologico del Finale, della
Soprintendenza Archeologica della
Liguria, dell’Università di Genova - posto
in essere per condividere con
cittadinanza, studenti, colleghi
un’occasione di riflessione sulla figura
dell’imperatore AVGVSTVS, a duemila
anni dalla morte. L’impronta lasciata da
questa figura, indubbiamente ideologica
ed ideologizzante attraverso i secoli, può
ancora tradursi, al netto di passate e –in
parte- presenti interpretazioni
strumentali, nella lettura di un’eredità
storico-letteraria, artistico-archeologica
vive, attuali e in grado di parlare alle
sensibilità, alle coscienze culturali dei
cittadini del Terzo Millennio."
