The magazine, after just over five years, has set up a scientific external committee, a broader editorial board and an expansion of the Editorial Committee. It will present, on the inside, beyond the usual review of the news of the excavations in Asia, Africa and the Mediterranean of our University, also a number of items with a firmer scientific cut with broad thematic contributions not necessarily related to our archaeological activities. The journal is open to anyone between you, your colleagues, internal and external collaborators, Italian, but also foreign, who want to send their contributions that should mainly be characterized by:
1. purely archaeological ground;
2. operational and methodological innovative character;
3. new aspects;
4. multi-disciplinarity;
5. internationalization.
It is open the requirement to submit contributions on research and surveys related. The development of the archaeological discipline brings more and more towards a dual level of publication: a traditional level of interpretive synthesis, in which the archaeologists can explain the data collected in a framework of historical reconstruction, and an innovative level of publication of blanks data, that are at the basis of the interpretations and of the proponed reconstructions and that offer new possibilities to the discipline. In this context, the editorial project is proposed as a data-volume, a printed volume (print on demand) and digital (open access), published on the website http://www.unior.it/ateneo/3632/1/newsletter-archeologia-cisa.html.

Introduction by Newsletter Archeologia CISA
Bruno Genito
Newsletter Archeologia (CISA) is published in order to give some information about main results of the research activities carried out by the Archaeological Missions from Africa (Libya, Egypt, Ethiopia) to Arabia (Yemen, Saudi Arabia), from Mediterranean Sea(Greece, Italy, Campania, Molise, Puglia) to China (Henan, Xinijang) through to Asia (Iran, Uzbekistan).The papers include aspects on archaeology (survey and excavation), palaeo-ethnobotany, palinology, archaeozoology, geology, geomorphology, geoarchaeology, ethnoarchaeology, ethnohistory as well as mapping, GIS and remote sensing analyses. The aim is to give a brief synthesis of the problems and results until now known and achieved.

1) the area between the main tepe and the NE corner of the encircling wall, named Trench no 9, with different successive extensions;
2) the extended area in Trench no 5, according to the new general grid of the site put down this year, in order to possibly find earlier architectural and material culture;
3) the unexcavated Eastern half of Trench no 6;
4) as much as dating material culture possible, in order to achieve a more detailed typological and possibly chronological stratigraphic differentiation.
The research activity has been designed to provide:
1) a reconstruction of the cultural and environmental history of the region to the south-west of Aksum;
2) a detailed archaeological map of this region for the cultural heritage management of Central Tigray.
At the very beginning of the project, the main goal of the research project was the explanation of similarities in the ceramic traditions of the Ethiopian highlands and of the Nile Valley. Thus, the Kassala region and Gash Delta, a study area located in an intermediate and crucial position for understanding the relationships between Ethiopian highlands and Nile Valley, was selected. This was an area which, before the fieldwork conducted from 1980 to 1995 by the Expedition, was virtually unknown from the archaeological point of view. Therefore, the definition of a cultural sequence for the Kassala region and Gash delta is an outstanding result of the fieldwork conducted by the Expedition in the 80s. Moreover, it was also possible to outline the processes taking place in the region.
1. historical importance of the city (built and founded by the Sasanian king Šahpūr I in the 3rd century AD and living at least until the 10th century AD in Islamic period);
2. geo-morphological and landscape complexity of the territory where the city is located [a plain, a river (Šahpūr), water sources: Sarāb-e Ardašīr (Sarābšir) at North, Češmeh-ye Sāsān at East and Sarāb-e Dokhtarān at South, the cave (Šahpūr Cave)] in the geographic context of the Kazerun Karstic Aquifer area;
3. rich artistic, epigraphic and iconographic documentation distributed inside and outside the city, along the river with six different rock-reliefs [the I, the earliest (celebrating victories of Šapūr I), the II and the III (commemorating the defeat of Valerian), the IV (portraying an Arab embassy to Bahrām II), the V (Dedication of Bahrām I) and the VI (Victory of Šapūr II)], the famous statue of the king Šahpūr I in a cave and the inscription in middle Persian and Parthian on one of the celebrative columns in the city;
4. unique and impressive architectonic and urban evidences among which the castles (Qal‘e-ye Dokhtār, Qal‘e-ye Pesar), the city (Bīšāpūr), where a palace, a religious building interpreted as dedicated to the female Sasanian divinity Anāhīta, a Mosque and a Madrasa of the early Islamic time have been identified.
1) a reconstruction of the cultural and environmental history of the region to the south-west of Aksum;
2) a detailed archaeological map of this region for the cultural heritage management of Central Tigray.
In 2011 investigations focused exclusively on the Pre-Aksumite site of Seglamen SG1 where a monumental area and a cemetery had been identified and partially excavated in 2010. The topographic survey of the terrace, begun in 2010, has been completed in order to define the general morphology of the area of the site, using a total station Trimble M3 5”.
L’interesse per le indagini in questa zona, iniziate negli anni ’70, proseguite con numerose interruzioni fino ai giorni nostri e non ancora concluse, è nato sulla base di precise problematiche, connesse con la individuazione di una probabile “piccola agorà arcaica” ad Ovest della agorà classica che permettesse la ricostruzione dell’assetto originario dell’area al momento della colonizzazione e la definizione dello specifico modello organizzativo urbano di Cirene, un centro che con le sue caratteristiche anomale nel panorama dei movimenti coloniali greci - composizione non omogenea del primo nucleo coloniale, rapporti amichevoli con le popolazioni autoctone e soprattutto regime monarchico ereditario - sembra rendere pleonastica l’esistenza di una agorà nei primi anni di vita della colonia.
