Previously coordinating fieldwork within the Bonorva archaeological project (SS, Sardinia; concluded in 2008), he currently collaborates to the excavations at the Bronze Age village at Broglio di Trebisacce (CS, Calabria) and at the village and cult place at Monte Cimino (VT, Latium). His research and publications currently focus on Nuragic archaeology and on alternative approaches to the study of prehistoric weight measures.
Description
A chronological framework is outlined, in some detail, for the archaeological phases between ca. 1300-730 BC (between the Recent Bronze Age and the late Early Iron Age, in terms of Italian chronology). The proposed chronology, stemming out from an overall study on the late Nuragic sequence, is aimed at setting the subject of the book within defined time-framework. Particular attention is put in outlining a comparative chronology, both in relative and in absolute terms, with respect to other Mediterranean sequences.
