- Abstract
- Neolithic Spaces, volumes 1 and 2, detail a large-scale synthetic survey of the Neolithic sites (villaggi trincerati – ditched villages) of the Tavoliere Plain, southeast Italy. Volume 1 details research at regional, inter-site and intra-site scales, and explores the social use of landscape and ‘taskscapes’ at both 'domestic' and 'ritual' sites. The work combines innovative and traditional survey methods, surface survey and mapping, and approaches for understanding the human experiential aspects of ‘dwelling’ (phenomenology/sensory archaeology). The techniques developed and associated data are relevant to all archaeological and landscape studies. Chapter 4 describes the Project's methodologies, and includes appendices detailing the results of various on-site visibility, sound and olfactory experiments. The present upload comprises an uncorrected proof of the published version. There are no differences in page, figure, table and appendix numbering between it and the final published version. It may however include mispellings and other uncorrected typos.
