My experience with experimental archaeology started during my MA, attending to the experimental archaeology course at the Sapienza University of Rome.
The goal of this project, started in 2012, was to reconstruct a Bronze Age hut using techniques, methods, and raw materials consistent with the knowledge acquired during the excavation of Tornambè site (Pietraperzia, Enna), and from other known Sicilian and Southern Italian archaeological contexts.
Manorial estates (curtes) mark the Italian rural landscapes of the Carolingian Age. They are often fortified and act as productive centers within a closed-circuit economy. In fact, they represent one of the most important category of central places of this period in Italy, managing vast portions of land and controlling the peasants.
The Archaeodrome is located within the archaeological area of the Park of Poggio Imperiale in Poggibonsi (Tuscany, Italy). It’s an open-air museum based on a full-scale reproduction of the 9th-10th century village, the center of a curtis, excavated by the archaeologists of the University of Siena. Its construction is still in progress.
The Fortress of Verrucole dates back to the 10th century. It was constructed by the Gherardinghi family on a previous human settlement. Because of the expansionist aims of Lucca northwards, many battles took place here such as a long siege during the winter 1170.
