Archaeology and the cities of Asia Minor in late antiquity
\"The city was the fundamental social institution of Greek and Roman culture. More than the sack of Rome, the abandonment of provincial towns throughout the Mediterranean world in late antiquity (fourth-seventh centuries A.D.) marks the beginning of the Middle Ages. This volume examines archaeological evidence for this last phase of urban life in western Asia Minor, one of the Roman empire's most prosperous regions. Based on the proceedings of a symposium co-sponsored by the University of Michigan and the German Archaeological Institute, it brings together studies by an international group of scholars on topics ranging from the public sculpture of Constantinople to the depopulation of the Anatolian countryside in early Byzantine times\"--Jacket flap.

Geophysical investigation of the southwestern city limit of ancient Selinous (Sicily, Italy)
The undisturbed state of the archaeological site of Selinous provides a unique opportunity to examine urban life in the ancient Greek world. With the tools provided by geophysics this research can be carried out non-destructive. Beginning with the early 2000s a magnetic gradiometry campaign comprehensively presented the city’s street layout. While the eastern city limit is visible by the city wall in the data, this is not the case for the west, where the signal fades away at the edge of the developed area. The objective of this study therefore is to investigate the city limit in the south-west. With a focus on the transition zone between the river Modione and the urban area. A direct target is to present the course of the western city wall. Through joint evaluation of magnetic gradiometry measurements, electromagnetic induction (EMI) prospection and electric resistivity tomography (ERT), the course of the western wall was traced for 200 m. The data presents the complete western main city gate, as well as a potential Roman structure on top of the Greek remnants. The archaeological relevant layers in the southern Modione valley were investigated by combining inverted EMI profiles with sediment cores. This resulted in the hypothesis that parts of the south-western cityscape were built upon land reclaimed of a former river meander.

L'Instituto di Corrispondenza Archeologica 190 anni dopo
The following contribution – a speech given at the Capitol on the occasion of the 190th anniversary of the Instituto di Corrispondenza Archeologica as the forerunner of the later German Archaeological Institute last year – briefly outlines the foundation and history of the Institute in Rome from a German perspective. The Institute was founded on April 21, 1829 in the Palazzo Caffarelli on the Capitol Hill. Since then, the institute has played a central role for the German-Italian scientific and cultural relations and beyond for European archeology.

Studio geologico sulla provenienza del Tufo del Palatino (cappellaccio) impiegato nella costruzione del basamento del Tempio di Giove
This work discusses the results of a geological-geochemical study, aimed at determining the origin of blocks of Tufo del Palatino used for the construction of the foundations of the Temple of Jupiter. Through the reconstruction of the underground trend and outcrop areas of Tufo del Palatino, extraction sites mentioned by historical sources and recent literature were recognized and sampled, in order to compare their geochemical signature with that of the cut blocks used by Roman builders. The results of this study highlight the origin of the tuff blocks from the outcrop still partially visible today along the south-eastern side of the Capitoline Hill, where the extraction area must have been located.

Qui in virtute crucis mundum de morte redemit : una necropoli medievale sul Campidoglio : prime osservazioni
Recent excavations conducted in 2021 and 2022 by the Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali, in collaboration with the German Archaeological Institute in Rome, in an area northeast of Casa Tarpea and adjacent to the former Teutonic Hospital, have provided data of particular relevance to understanding the history of the Capitoline Hill in the post-classic period. In particular, knowledge of the early medieval history of the Capitoline Hill has been enriched: the recent excavations have brought to light a small portion of a larger cemetery with earthen grave burials dating between the 8th and 12th centuries. There are a total of 7 inhumations, some of which had been severely damaged by modern construction activities and/or by various phenomena of stratigraphic collapse characteristic of the area under investigation and, more generally, of this side of the Hill. The individuals uncovered were identified as 6 males and 1 subadult, suggesting a possible monastic context for the cemetery. Particularly noteworthy is the burial of an adult individual (T2), who was found with a marble slab placed on the leftside of his rib cage featuring an early medieval Christian funerary etched poem. Excavation data, anthropological results, and a discussion on the meaning of these findings are presented here.
