![]() | Morgantina Studies, Volume IV: The Protohistoric Settlement on the Cittadella Subjects: Morgantina (Extinct city); Excavations (Archaeology) -- Italy -- Morgantina (Extinct City); Iron age -- Italy -- Morgantina (Extinct City); Sicily (Italy) -- Antiquities -- Catalogs; Excavations conducted at Morgantina by Princeton University and the University of Illinois have revealed substantial Iron Age remains beneath the Greek town on the Cittadella hilltop. In this volume Robert Leighton presents a full study of this extensive protohistoric settlement in Sicily. The broad scope of evidence, particularly the survival of long houses and tombs with much of their structures and contents preserved, permits an unusually thorough examination of indigenous cultural traditions prior to the foundation of the Greek town in the Archaic period. An illustrated catalogue of the finds presents more than 700 artifacts from the site, most of which are previously unpublished. |
