change of the socio-economic territory monterchiese (agriculture, of the greatest lines of communication ) Lead us to consider our efforts to protect the archaeological heritage of the subsoil urgent.
The randomness is not always to the rescue on this. Have tools to help identify areas at risk is the real problem and an archaeological map of the area can preserve the treasures hidden in the soil and save the remains of lost civilizations.
The work I'm passionate about for years is the research in the territory of Monterchi confirmation of the many "is" "you think" about our historical past and then in 2000 I tried using a search area to recover material that could help this purpose.
I have divided the territory into four sectors and started collecting material checking the area east of Monterchi practice in the fields lining the road to Lippi. The materials recovered are not many. Some pieces of pottery, bricks that are still to indicate that this area in ancient times, perhaps in Roman times it was inhabited. Pure
the area below to Petretolo seems always had in the past several acquaintances of Roman (Roman or Etruscan use it as a kind of inventory since the material has yet to be studied but that belongs to one of these periods).
Coming to the country under the city walls in a field adjacent to the Madonna del Parto I recovered other material. Unfortunately, this site was probably affected by the discharge of ground after the earthquake of 17 since the material is both medieval and even Roman century.
must be said also to be truthful in this area in 1930 Diringer indicates the recovery of various
supellettile from some tombs discovered in the cockpit and Capuchin site. Pure
to S. Antimo camps around the ancient church that I have recovered the material indicates the presence of a Roman villa (purified ceramics, elements of heat pipes, etc.) that in any case this is attested by the Superintendent and some excavations. To the west near Riolo
are being reported in the 80 sporadic discoveries of objects belonging to the Palaeolithic flint and in this place in 2008 have recovered fragments flint gray and yellow similar to the findings of so-called "red earth" of Anghiari.
ahead on the left in a field that borders a forest overlooking the valley Centeno
are surfacing materials that can be ascribed to a Roman site with probable furnace. Therefore continuing to arrive
Catiglianello place now famous for the discovery of Etruscan pottery materials.
This material has made a fine show when in a show that has had and will have space in the study of this civilization given the rarity of the find.
This year the resumption of the excavation site has also returned a furnace or another rarity in the fourth century BC Roman
Again the huge amount of material should be given to the use of public
In an exhibition in hoc.
In the same area I have found other material (arrows javelin, chips, plates of flint), which should belong to the Neolithic and Paleolithic maybe less. Pure
the heights of our land are interesting for possible archaeological research. The
Murcia as well Padonchia are scattered with buildings and boulders with engravings that could date back to prehistoric times but who are the legacy of human artifacts
least interesting from the standpoint of ethnography.
All the material I found costudito is currently in a local administration has made available to responding enthusiastically to an invitation from the superintendence of Dr. Salvini in Florence.
In this place after an initial cleaning of the finds will go to them and is prepared a scoring sheet for each piece operation maybe boring but very important for the purposes of a scientific study of the finds.
So as you can see the archaeological research it is based on the passion of those who seek it must be supported by institutions sensitive.
Without the help of the Superintendence of Commons and all findings would fall into oblivion along the way losing data important for understanding our past.
understand and study the past can help give a better future for the whole community ...
