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 chapter gives an overview of the state of research at the Roman rural site of Molino San Vincenzo in 2018 in central Tuscany (Italy). Since 2008, various types of non-invasive and (micro) invasive methods were applied at Molino San Vincenzo regularly: archeological systematic intensive field surveys, excavations, zooarchaeological analysis, archaeobotanical sampling, geoarchaeological investigations, and geophysical surveys. Moreover, attention was paid to the analysis of the material culture, method and theory of field walking as well as various research activities in the field of digital archaeology.

‚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 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 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.

The palynological investigation carried out at the site of Molino San Vincenzo (Tuscany, central Italy) in 2015 was useful to collect information about the palaeoenvironment of the site. The environment of Roman Molino San Vincenzo was greatly influenced by human presence and activities; pasturelands and crop fields (mainly barley and wheat cultivations) characterised the agrarian system while no evidence of cultivation of woody plants were found. Wet habitats like rivers or ponds were present near the site and the open landscape hosted some wild vegetation mainly consisting of Mediterranean macchia with fragments of mixed oak woods quite far from the site.

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.

Within the framework of the Vienna Orme and Pesa Valley Project, geoarchaeological investigations were conducted to situate the sites in the wider landscape and provide context for the main project objectives, including the nature of rural land use and the cultural processes affecting it, issues of site definition and site classification, and differing patterns of material culture. Reconnaissance geoarchaeological survey, coring systematic, and soil sampling was carried out between 2015 and 2016 to characterize sediments, collect samples for geochemical analyses, and place sites and artifacts in an environmental and geological context.

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 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 gives a short account on the topography and settlement geography of the study area. A first focus is laid on toponyms and the possible hints the naming of settlements can give. In a second step the paper highlights traffic routes and their traces in the region of Empoli and the valleys of Orme, Virginio and Pesa in Northern Tuscany which have been studies through geomorphological observations, reconnaissance and intensive surveys and the study of historical maps and other archival sources. After treating the main connection routes in Roman times like the via Quinctia the focus is laid on the minor roads in order to overcome the one-sided view on the larger Roman roads. By that a more detailed picture of the connectivity of the region studied is gained and the various historical layers of mobility are identified.
