RECENT STUDIES ON NEOLITHIC SOCIETIES OF THE ABRUZZI REGION OF CENTRAL ITALY PRESENTED HERE FOCUS ON CERAMICS THAT RANGE FROM IMPRESSA TYPE POTTERY TO POTTERY PAINTED WITH RED BANDS, WHICH DATE FROM THE 6TH TO THE BEGINNING OF THE 5TH MILLENNIA BC.

Abstract
RECENT STUDIES ON NEOLITHIC SOCIETIES OF THE ABRUZZI REGION OF CENTRAL ITALY PRESENTED HERE FOCUS ON CERAMICS THAT RANGE FROM IMPRESSA TYPE POTTERY TO POTTERY PAINTED WITH RED BANDS, WHICH DATE FROM THE 6TH TO THE BEGINNING OF THE 5TH MILLENNIA BC. POTTERY OF THE EARLY NEOLITHIC DEFINES TWO ZONES. A SOUTHERN ZONE PRESENTS SIMILARITIES WITH SOTHEASTERN ITALY IN TERMS OF DECORATIVE TECHNICS SUCH AS USE OF A SEASHELL AS A STYLUS OR DECORATIVE MOTIFS (ROCKER, MICROROCKER AND SEQUENZE, AS WELL AS HUMAN FACE REPRESENTATION. THOSE COMPONENTSARE TOTALLY ABSENT IN THE NORTHERN ZONE. SET IN THEIR REGIONAL CONTEXTS, THE CHRONOLOGY AND THE LITHIC AND POTTERY ASSEMBLAGESOF THE CATIGNANO CULTURE ARE EXAMINED. EMPHASIS IS ON AFFINITIES OF THE CATIGNANO CULTURE WITH OTHER CONTEMPORARY CULTURES IN ORDER TO STRESS MULTIPLE CULTURAL INTERRELATIONSHIPS IN THE ITALIAN PENINSULA REGIONS AT THE TURN OF THE 6TH TO 5TH MILLENNIA BC. IN PARTICULAR THIS STUDY PROPOUNDS A HYPOTHESIS OF THE EARLY ORIGIN OF THISPHENOMENON AND OF THE ROLE PLAYED BY IMPRESSA WARE IN THIS PROCESS.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
