‚Vienna Orme and Pesa Valley Project. Proceedings of the International Workshop held at Vienna, June 22–23, 2018‘ ist der erste Band einer neuen Publikationsreihe mit dem Namen ‚Roman Rural Landscapes Monograph Series‘. Die Reihe sollen dazu dienen, Forschungsergebnisse, die im Rahmen der Plattform Roman Rural Landscapes am Institut für Klassische Archäologie der Universität Wien erzielt wurden, schnell und unkompliziert einer breiten Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren. Besonderer Wert soll dabei auf die Publikation von wissenschaftlichen Qualifikationsarbeiten gelegt werden. Bereits der erste Band ist hierfür als Beispiel zu sehen, da er Ergebnisse studentischer Abschlussarbeiten ebenso umfasst wie Resultate drittmittelgeförderter Einzeluntersuchungen.

The paper gives a short report on surveys conducted in the framework of the Vienna Orme and Pesa Valley Project. Focus of is laid on the comparison of two intensive on-site surveys at Molino San Vincenzo which were carried out under differing conditions in 2013 and 2016 and achieved differing results since in 2013 the visibility was much lower than in 2016 due to vegetation and therefore the only a limited number of artefacts could be found. The results of the re-survey in 2016 offered the opportunity to evaluate on-site survey methods. One of the main questions is the reliability of survey results even with low finds numbers. The pluri-methodological approach of the Vienna Orme and Pesa Valley Project enables also a discussion of assets and shortcomings of other methodologies, especially geophysical prospections and shovel-testing, in terms of their suitability to detect the sites still unexcavated.

The present book contains a collection of papers that resulted from a two-day workshop held in June 2018 at the Department of Classical Archaeology of the University Vienna. The workshop took place in the context of the pluriennial research project ‘Val di Pesa and Val Orme as a changing rural landscape: an integrated approach’ which was focused on the investigation of land-use and human activities in a well-defined micro-region in Inland Northern Etruria by applying a multi-stage and multi-scalar fieldwork scheme.

The Settlement of Ponterotto (San Casciano in Val di Pesa/FI): The Mansio and the So-called Villa Rustica: A new Interpretation

The Roman complex at Ponterotto in the Pesa valley comprises a series of buildings, dating from the 1st to the 6th century CE. The paper gives a detailed report on the results of the excavations conducted 2010 till 2012 which resulted in the identification of six periods. The entire architectural complex has undergone remarkable transformations both in function and design. Although commonly recognized as Roman villa some anomalies with respect to the ‘classic’ model of a Roman productive villa are recognized. Thus, also based on the study of the materials found, a new interpretation of Ponterotto as mansio is proposed.

The Rural Site of ‘Il Cotone’: Results of the On-Site-Survey 2016

In 2016 and 2017, members of the Vienna Orme and Pesa Valley Project conducted geophysical (magnetics and GPR) and intensive systematic on-site surveys at the Roman rural site ‘Il Cotone’ near Empoli. This chapter presents the first results of material culture studies and digital mapping of the survey data. All applied methods revealed a small Roman rural settlement used for agrarian production and dwelling as well.

The Diversity of Sites

The geophysical surveys conducted at the sites of Molino San Vincenzo and Podere Piano at the river Pesa as well as the sites of Il Cotone and Martignana at the river Orme have resulted in new and detailed insights into the settlement patterns of... mehr anzeigen

The geophysical surveys conducted at the sites of Molino San Vincenzo and Podere Piano at the river Pesa as well as the sites of Il Cotone and Martignana at the river Orme have resulted in new and detailed insights into the settlement patterns of this area. The measurements at Molino San Vincenzo helped to complete the picture of the Roman rural site. In Podere Piano traces of human utilization could be documented. For more detailed statements further research is needed. Il Cotone could be defined as a Roman rural settlement in an outstanding topographic position including industrial installations. Finally, the survey at Martignana revealed traces of a probable medieval building, equally situated at a convenient higher terrace at the Orme Valley.

The paper focuses on the zooarchaeological material of the Roman period of the site Molino San Vincenzo and its role in the context of Roman rural sites in the adjacent regions in Tuscany. The basic results of the animal bones’ analysis are discussed and set in comparison to other Roman dated sites in this region. Based on these observations, it can be stated that, at Molino San Vincenzo in particular, small ruminants and pigs dominated the picture of animal husbandry. Since sheep represent a relatively high amount, a small livestock husbandry-related agriculture hypothesis can be established.

Roman Rural Landscapes: Perspectives from the Roman Peasant Project

The Roman Peasant Project, carried out from 2009–2015 in Grosseto province (Tuscany) was originally directed at the smallest and poorest types of sites, and was designed to examine a particular class of people – peasants – their labor and their lives. Therefore, the project aimed to put people, labor and production at the center of Roman landscape studies and to rethink the various ways that rural dwellers lived and worked.

Between the years 2015 and 2019, the Vienna Orme and Pesa Valley Project of the Department of Classical Archaeology at the University of Vienna had one of its focal points in practicing archaeological fieldwork and post-processing using selected tools of the multitude of computational methods and applications as providing a theoretical framework too for this approach. The aim was to fuse data-driven and digitally practiced archaeological methods with theory in ‘digital archaeology.’ Eventually, the multi-annual third-party funded project showed how an integrated hybrid digital and analogous approach in landscape and settlement archaeology might be successfully carried out from the beginning to the end.

The paper focus on the relation between the rural site of Molino San Vincenzo and the urban center of Empoli in terms of production and consumption. Since pottery is an excellent tool for tracking indications of subsistence production and/or manufacturing for exchange two assemblages, that of Molino San Vincenzo and that of the Gioielleria Pratesi in Empoli are analysed. In a first step a short overview of the material culture found at both site is given The following analysis of the pottery assemblages brings important results regarding settlement activity and the lifespan and function of the sites, as well as on their integration into the micro-level and long-distance trading network of the Arno valley and Tyrrhenian Sea area. By determining regional vessel forms, identifying the raw materials by archaeometrical analyses and studying wasters the production centres of pottery can be determined. Thus Empoli can be shown as well-integrated into the interregional trade network of the Roman Empire. The site of Molino San Vincenzo, on the other hand, concentrated on trading contacts at the local and regional level.
