dwelling site of Bodio Centrale (Lake of Varese, north-western Italy),
element of the UNESCO transnational site series Prehistoric piledwellings
around the Alps. The corings are part of a wider
underwater excavation campaign directed by the Soprintendenza per
i Beni Archeologici of the Lombardia region. They were aimed at (a)
establishing the thickness of the archaeological deposits, (b) gathering
proxies (especially pollen) for a palaeo-environmental reconstruction,
and (c) assessing the risks linked to erosion of this underwater site.
Stratigraphic data were thus acquired on the pile dwelling itself as
well as along the lake margin. These highlighted that, due to severe
erosion, Bronze Age strata are in fact missing. Erosion reached down
until the calcareous lake marls at the bottom of the sequence, thus
erasing all pre/proto-historic and Roman deposits. Above this erosional
discontinuity, silts and sands radiocarbon dated to the Medieval
and successive periods were found. We argue for a last millennium of
water-level high-stand, subsequent to low-stand events occurred in
the preceding millennia.
In the Garda Lake area, the pile dwelling site of Corno di Sotto
(Desenzano del Garda, Brescia) was made object of an underwater
archaeological survey and augering in 2013. Even at this site, erosion caused the complete disappearance of the primary archaeological deposits. On the other hand, several Garda’s small, intra-morenic basins contain excellently preserved archaeological records, rich in organic remains, such as the Lucone site (Polpenazze, Brescia - IT-LM-05), also mentioned on the UNESCO world heritage list.

I confronti effettuati col mondo transalpino, sia per i materiali delle collezioni sia per i nuovi rinvenimenti, hanno confermato un’attribuzione alla fase iniziale del Bronzo Medio, con alcuni elementi che rimandano all’ultimo momento dell’antica età del Bronzo, quando sembra svilupparsi in area nord-occidentale un network culturale con circuiti diversi da quello poladiano-gardesano, orientato invece verso direttrici transalpine danubiane; questa modalità sembra essere ribadita con l’inizio del Bronzo Medio. L’area di collegamento tra le due realtà è da individuare probabilmente nei territori dell’Emilia nord occidentale,
come attesterebbe l’abitato di Chiaravalle della Colomba (PC), dove elementi palafitticoliterramaricoli si affiancano ad altri di matrice spiccatamente nord-occidentale.
