Book Description
Casalmoro lies on the Chiese river in the province of Mantua, in the northern Po Plain in Italy. It is the biggest settlement area known for Final Bronze Age Italy. The rise of Casalmoro is connected to the fall of the Terramare system, as it represented one of the new occupations north of the Po founded after the collapse of 1200 BC. Casalmoro was part of the new settlement patterns spreading on the territory between eastern Lombardy and Veneto. This book concerns the material culture and chronology of this huge settlement area. A typological analysis and a chronological definition are described in the first chapters; a framing of Casalmoro in the context of eastern Lombardy and Veneto, and in relation to the contact with some areas of the Italian Peninsula at the beginning of the Italian Final Bronze Age are then proposed.

Book Description
Casalmoro lies along the Chiese river in the province of Mantua, in the northern Po Plain, and it represents the biggest known settlement area for Final Bronze Age Italy. This was one of the new settlements founded in the twelfth century BC north of the Po, in the region between eastern Lombardy and Veneto, after the crisis of the Terramare culture. This work provides a typological analysis and a chronological definition of the finds, and presents a significant amount of pottery and bronze artefacts for the first time. It then proposes a framing of Casalmoro in its regional context and in relation to other areas of the Italian Peninsula at the beginning of the Final Bronze Age. This settlement area constitutes an important context both for chronological aspects and to understand the processes leading to the birth of the proto-urban centres at the dawn of the Iron Age.

Book Description
Gods, deities, symbolism, deposition, cosmology and intentionality are all features of the study of early ritual and cult. Archaeology has great difficulties in providing satisfactory interpretation or recognition of these elusive but important parts of ancient society, and methodologies are often poorly equipped to explore the evidence. This collection of papers explores a wide range of prehistoric and early historic archaeological contexts from Britain, Europe and beyond, where monuments, architectural structures, megaliths, art, caves, ritual activity and symbolic remains offer exciting glimpses into ancient belief systems and cult behaviour. Different theoretical and practical approaches are demonstrated, offering both new directions and considered conclusions to the many problems of studying the archaeology of cult and ritual. Central to the volume is an exploration of early Malta and its intriguing Temple Culture, set in a broad perspective by the discussion and theoretical approaches presented in different geographical and chronological contexts.
