CAMPAGNA DI ROMA OLIM LATIUM
A historical landscape archaeology of Tyrrhenian
southern Lazio from late Antiquity
to incastellamento
Propositions
1. Rome continuously influenced much of the (pace of) developments in the countryside of Tyrrhenian southern Lazio from late Antiquity to the high middle ages, by its role as a regional centre and as a funnel of outside influence.
2. The Pontine coast knew less activity than other parts of the researched area from late Antiquity to the high middle ages, a marginality caused by unfavourable ecological circumstances, bad acces-sibility from the coast to the interior, and the coast’s vulnerability.
3. The presence of communes may have influenced (or hindered) the process of incastellamento. 4. A study of harbours, as gateways of incoming and outgoing goods and people, and their
hinter-lands, is a vital part of the future study of connectivity.
5. The Lepine pedemontana, from Ninfa to Sezze, ran through what was perhaps the most contested area in Tyrrhenian southern Lazio during the high middle ages.
6. The structural employment and improvement of wall-facing typologies, preferably in combin-ation with on-site pottery studies and absolute dating methods, would be a formidable dating tool in the study of late Antique to high medieval contexts.
7. The influence of the early Church in Tyrrhenian southern Lazio was spread along the main roads to and from Rome.
8. The extensive use of retrospective evidence, drawn from historical maps and toponyms, is instru-mental in locating enigmatic historical sites.
9. An important step in future studies would be to unlock the unpublished datasets of the earlier conducted excavations at Antium, Terracina, Velletri and Castra Albana for a wider scientific audience, including the results of any pottery studies undertaken.
