La pubblicazione integrale degli oltre 14.000 reperti vede in questo volume tutti i Varia metallici, i piccoli reperti che, non potendosi iscrivere in una categoria precisa di oggetti o risultando ripetitivi sono stati riuniti sulla base delle caratteristiche di produzione. Il volume prevede un catalogo sistematico introdotto da commenti critici volti alla definizione della datazione, e della funzione dei manufatti in relazione al culto

Si tratta quindi di uno dei pochi interventi sistematici sull’area urbana, rimasta sino ad ora ai margini delle ricerche sulla città veneta. I docenti, i dottorandi e gli studenti coinvolti affrontano sia temi generali – dalla storia degli studi sull’area alle tecniche di ricognizione –ma soprattutto l'edizione sistematica dei materiali raccolti nel corso della ricognizione, fornendone un basilare inquadramento tipologico e cronologico. L’indagine archeologica e la ricerca scientifica che in questi ultimi decenni hanno interessato l’area altinate mettono sempre più in luce la rilevanza del sito, che si impone come uno dei luoghi nodali nel panorama veneto dalla prima età del Ferro fino all’età tardoantica, indissolubilmente legato alla nascita di Torcello e quindi all’origine di Venezia.

A tali aree corrispondono anche le diverse qualità di vino contenute nelle Dressel 6A e commercializzate in Cisalpina, a Roma, nella Raetia e nel Noricum, in Oriente e in Grecia. L'analisi delle anfore ritrovate numerose in contesti datati in alcune città della Venetia permette di creare una sequenza cronologica delle presenze delle Dressel 6A, evidenziandone le caratteristiche morfologiche, epigrafiche e degli impasti, a partire dall'età augustea e con-sentono di formulare nuove ipotesi sulla provenienza e sulla cronologia finale, prolungando la loro diffusione almeno fino agli anni immediatamente successivi al 78/80 d.C.

In età romana quest'area si trovava appena fuori dalle mura di Iulia Concordia ed era caratterizzata dalla presenza di un complesso di magazzini 2 che si sviluppavano in prossimità di un canale navigabile e di una strada in uscita dalla città verso Aquileia.

rescue excavations carried out in 2014/15 in Padua, one in the
northern, the other in the southern suburb of the ancient city. In
both cases funerary contexts were found, confirming arrangements
already suggested by previous discoveries. In the northern site some
cremation and inhumation graves were found, together with three recovery structures with amphoras and a particular dump, full of
animal bones; all the elements date back to the late republican era.
In the southern site other cremations were discovered, in connection
with a monument base, some relics of possible funerary enclosures
and a recovery structure with amphoras; this second evidence dates
back to the early imperial age.

General information
Periods in the Summer School’s focus: Late Republican to Late Roman (2nd BC - 6th
century AD)
Major workshop activities: The main goal of the course is to provide theoretical and
practical training experience on Roman pottery. The students will evaluate and appreciate similarities and differences in typological problems, approaches, methods, technique, design and material choice applied on different pottery classes. The participants will work with authentic pottery from the ancient city of Aquileia. Practical excercises in dfferent techniques of pottery production will also be performed by the partecipants through the use of potter’s wheel and kiln especially arranged for the Summer School.
Scientific coordination: Diana DOBREVA (Dipartimento di Culture e Civiltà, Università di Verona), Martin AUER (Institut für Archäologien, Universität Innsbruck), Florian SCHIMMER (Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum Mainz).

increasing number of scholars. In 2016 the Department of Humanities of Ca’ Foscari University started a
campaign of archaeological excavations, intended to investigate the urban area of this Roman site. We were
able to identify this area through a comparative study between recent and historical cartography: ancient
planimetries, cadastral maps, interpretation of old and recent aerial photographs combined with the study of
archaeological documents and – in some cases unpublished – manuscripts represent the core of this project.
Integrating different types of data is crucial for the aims of our research, and it made possible to identify
traces of the archaeological record still hidden under the ground, that have been inserted in a GIS system. We
created an archaeological digital map inclusive of data from old and new field works, photo-interpretations,
archives, and surveys (such as those conducted by Ca’ Foscari University in 2012 and 2014); this resulted in
a simple and interactive tool on cartographic base, collecting all we know about Altinum.
The principal objective of this session is to explore how quantitative methods and semantic-based data management techniques can improve our ability to define, validate or refute economic theories about the organisation of large-scale production and long-distance exchange of foodstuffs. We wish, in particular, to facilitate interdisciplinary discussion about how we can evaluate the role of the state versus the free market in food supply and to assess how the multiple production strategies of a mixed agricultural economy (fruits, vegetables, wheat, olive oil, wine, salted fish, garum, etc.) were integrated within specific territories and largely peasant-based economies. We are also interested in the interactions between economy and environmental variables, the theoretical limits imposed on production and productivity by arable and pastoral regimes, labour and production costs, etc. and on the relationship between production and consumption in the context of growing population.
The session will use the presentation of case studies to demonstrate various multidisciplinary methods and techniques for the analysis of complex economic systems, integrating conventional archaeological methods and landscape archaeology with econometrics and computational modelling.
We would like to invite papers that develop case studies addressing some of following:
Datasets: the representation of archaeological data; database management; ontology and semantic markers
Quantitative methods: GIS and spatial analysis of settlement patterns, production strategies, microeconomic studies, demand and supply, trade routes, markets, and consumption trends
Model building and computer simulation: the use of Agent Based Models, Complex Networks Analysis, Predictive Modelling, Spatial Econometrics and Regression Analysis
the Decima Regio, the modern regions of Veneto and Lombardia.
Even though it was not possible to directly examine some published vessels in order to verify their Lusitanian provenance, they are
presented anyway, although with some doubts.
The collected evidence was all mapped, providing a basis for reconstructing the trade networks connecting the most western regions,
the northern Adriatic area and the Po Valley.
The scarce number of Lusitanian amphorae in northwestern Italy may have been affected by the incorrect identification of Lusitanian
products, and secondly, by the absence of late Roman drains in the western Decima Regio and shortage of published late Roman
contexts, which may turn out to produce this kind of amphorae.
