Il volume raccoglie i contributi di un seminario dal titolo “Siena e i terremoti. Punti di vista multidisciplinari per una lettura archeosismologica del centro storico” tenutosi il 10 giugno 2022 presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Storiche e dei Beni Culturali dell’Università degli Studi di Siena. La giornata di studi e questo libro si inseriscono nelle attività di comunicazione e disseminazione del progetto PROTECT – Knowledge for PReventiOn. TEChnique for reparing seismic damage from medieval period To modern era, una ricerca biennale finanziata dalla Commissione Europea con una Horizon 2020 – Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship, attualmente in corso di svolgimento presso l’École normale supérieure di Parigi. Il libro si propone di mettere in luce differenti approcci metodologici per lo studio del centro storico senese, nell’ottica di costruire una prima base conoscitiva sulla sismicità che ha interessato la città e sulle caratteristiche storiche, architettoniche, geologiche e territoriali del contesto medesimo. Negli articoli sono stati trattati differenti aspetti e criteri di documentazione e di analisi dei terremoti avvenuti a Siena in un arco cronologico che si snoda dal XIV al XX secolo, proponendo una narrazione interconnessa tra diverse discipline legate da un unico filo conduttore, quello della conoscenza in funzione della prevenzione.

Il rilievo montuoso dei Colli Albani, a sud est di Roma, è stato capillarmente indagato sia nel passato sia durante la supervisione scientifica svolta dalle Soprintendenze territoriali in occasione delle moderne attività edilizie. Unendo i dati già noti con i risultati delle recenti campagne archeologiche, è stata sviluppata una ricerca focalizzata sullo specifico aspetto delle vie di comunicazione e sulle dinamiche insediative lungo le pendici occidentali del cratere Albano. La geomorfologia è stata utilizzata come chiave di lettura per comprendere meglio quali fossero le caratteristiche fisiche che più hanno condizionato le varie forme di sfruttamento del territorio. A tal fine, sovrapponendo le evidenze archeologiche così individuate alla carta geomorfologica, le aree intorno alle linee di crinale del cratere sono risultate essere le più ricettive allo sfruttamento e quindi alla modificazione da parte delle comunità. In particolare, i punti di intersezione tra crinali radiali e concentrici al cratere si sono rivelati di maggiore impatto, come descritto nei casi studio individuati in località Marcandreola (Ciampino, Roma). In questi sono emerse successive fasi di sfruttamento della rotta più importante dell'area, su cui si sviluppa la cosiddetta via Castrimeniense, testimonianze di attività vulcanica in età storica e un'intensa attività di culto. L'analisi dei dati ha portato a ridisegnare il graduale sfruttamento di questo territorio prima della sua conquista da parte di Roma. The Colli Albani is a region close to Rome that has been extensively investigated both in the past and during the scientific supervision of the Superintendency, often preceding modern building activities. Combining data from recent excavation campaigns and legacy data, this research focuses on the specific topics of the communication routes and settlement dynamics on the western slopes of the Alban crater. Geomorphology has been used as a key to better understand the morphological features that most influenced the use of the territory by the human communities. To this end, known archaeological remains were superimposed onto the geomorphological map revealing how human activity is most intense near and on the volcanic ridges. Moreover, the intersections between radial and concentric ridges appear of major importance, as is clear from two cases study sites in the Marcandreola area (Ciampino, Rome). Here, several use-phases of the most important route in the area, as the so-called via Castrimeniense, traces of volcanic activity in historical times, and intensive cult activity, were identified. From this it has been possible to redraw the gradual exploitation of this territory before it was conquered by Rome.

Dieci anni fa si celebrava il Quarantennale della Rivista con un numero speciale, un’occasione di riflessione su quanto si era fatto e su come la disciplina si era sviluppata, il tutto visto attraverso la storia di un periodico che ne aveva accompagnato il percorso fin dai primi passi. Il volume affrontava criticamente alcuni tematismi che, in un approccio essenzialmente di tipo storico-culturale, avevano attratto l’interesse dei ricercatori nel nostro Paese e, nel contempo, tentava possibili collegamenti con gli sviluppi dell’archeologia italiana ed europea, cogliendone criticità e punti di forza. Un volume che dunque era un bilancio sul passato, ma anche un possibile ponte verso il futuro. Dopo un decennio, in occasione dei Cinquanta anni della Rivista (gli anniversari restano numeri se non si coglie l’opportunità, che offrono, di un avanzamento critico), la Rivista pubblica un monografico dedicato al rapporto tra l’archeologia medievale e le “scienze dure”, dunque lo fa inserendosi in uno spazio che, forse più di altri, ha segnato in forme innovative la base epistemologica delle nostre ricerche. Ma non si tratta di un’eccezione, perché la Rivista, negli ultimi dieci anni, ha spesso promosso e pubblicato numeri monografici che hanno variamente intercettato e sviluppato temi di attualità: da quelli molto settoriali ma che affrontavano le potenzialità di nuove fonti (ad esempio il numero sulle anfore altomedievali); ad altri più vicini al mainstream storico ma letto attraverso una nuova lente archeologica (il numero sulla congiuntura del Trecento); ad altri, ancora, che tentavano un ripensamento del rapporto tra le archeologie post-antiche e il passato nelle loro più diverse declinazioni, inserendosi peraltro in un filone, oggi forse un po’ troppo alla moda, come quello dell’“archeologia pubblica” (pensiamo al numero su archeologia medievale ed identità). In sostanza, crediamo che la Rivista, oltre ad accogliere quanto di meglio le veniva offerto dalla ricerca nazionale, abbia saputo individuare e sviluppare percorsi autonomi e per certi versi originali, di cogliere quanto di innovativo maturava nell’ambito delle archeologie internazionali e cercare di tradurlo in proposte che guardassero ad un’archeologia del futuro svincolata dalle pastoie in cui è ancora confinata buona parte della nostra tradizione nazionale. Archeologia Medievale, in tutti questi anni, ha mantenuto il suo titolo “tipicamente accademico” ma anche il sottotitolo (Cultura materiale. Insediamenti. Territorio) che, fin dagli inizi, marcava un chiaro spazio autonomo ed originale di ricerca in ambito archeologico. La temperie culturale in cui era nata, la prima metà degli anni ’70, spiega molto di quel titolo e di quegli orientamenti, ma se la rigidità di certe posizioni ideologiche si è nel tempo mitigata e l’archeologia sembra giustamente andare oltre i confini cronologici nei quali è ancora accademicamente inserita, quel sottotitolo, nell’indicare un metodo e uno specifico spazio d’azione, resta ancora pienamente d’attualità […]

This book examines historical evidence from the last 2000 years to analyse earthquakes in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. Early chapters review techniques of historical seismology, while the main body of the book comprises a catalogue of more than 4000 earthquakes identified from historical sources. Each event is supported by textual evidence extracted from primary sources and translated into English. Covering southern Rumania, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq, the book documents past seismic events, places them in a broad tectonic framework, and provides essential information for those attempting to prepare for, and mitigate the effects of, future earthquakes and tsunamis in these countries. This volume is an indispensable reference for researchers studying the seismic history of the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, including archaeologists, historians, earth scientists, engineers and earthquake hazard analysts. A parametric catalogue of these seismic events can be downloaded from www.cambridge.org/9780521872928.

This volume is an indispensable addition to the multidisciplinary coverage of the science of the Mediterranean Sea. The editors have gathered leading authorities from the fields of Marine Biology, Ecology, paleoclimatology, Chemical and Physical Oceanography, Zoology, Botany, Aquatic Photosynthesis, Socioeconomics, Mariculture, Mediterranean History and Science of Humanity. Beginning with the birth of the Mediterranean Sea and its myths. From coral to fish, an introduction is given to its major inhabitants of plants and animals past and present. The chapters illustrate how organisms interact as part of the structure and function of the Sea's main ecosystems. The rise of the Mediterranean as the cradle of the Western Civilization leads to a discourse on the status of human interaction with the sea. Accelerating global climate change, water warming, ocean acidification and sea level rise, and analyses of their effects on key organisms, entire ecosystems and human socioeconomics are given. Forecasting and predictions are presented taking into account different future scenarios from the IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change). The volume is richly illustrated in color, with an extensive bibliography. A valuable addition to the limited literature in the field, offering up-to-date broad coverage merging science and humanities.

How did medieval Europeans use and change their environments, think about the natural world, and try to handle the natural forces affecting their lives? This groundbreaking environmental history examines medieval relationships with the natural world from the perspective of social ecology, viewing human society as a hybrid of the cultural and the natural. Richard Hoffmann's interdisciplinary approach sheds important light on such central topics in medieval history as the decline of Rome, religious doctrine, urbanization and technology, as well as key environmental themes, among them energy use, sustainability, disease and climate change. Revealing the role of natural forces in events previously seen as purely human, the book explores issues including the treatment of animals, the 'tragedy of the commons', agricultural clearances and agrarian economies. By introducing medieval history in the context of social ecology, it brings the natural world into historiography as an agent and object of history itself.

Waiting for the End of the World? addresses the archaeological, architectural, historical and geological evidence for natural disasters in the Middle Ages between the 11th and 16th centuries. This volume adopts a fresh interdisciplinary approach to explore the many ways in which environmental hazards affected European populations and, in turn, how medieval communities coped and responded to short- and long-term consequences. Three sections, which focus on geotectonic hazards (Part I), severe storms and hydrological hazards (Part II) and biophysical hazards (Part III), draw together 18 papers of the latest research while additional detail is provided in a catalogue of the 20 most significant disasters to have affected Europe during the period. These include earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, storms, floods and outbreaks of infectious diseases. Spanning Europe, from the British Isles to Italy and from the Canary Islands to Cyprus, these contributions will be of interest to earth scientists, geographers, historians, sociologists, anthropologists and climatologists, but are also relevant to students and non-specialist readers interested in medieval archaeology and history, as well as those studying human geography and disaster studies. Despite a different set of beliefs relating to the natural world and protection against environmental hazards, the evidence suggests that medieval communities frequently adopted a surprisingly ‘modern’, well-informed and practically minded outlook.
