Western and Central Sicily underwent a period of transition from the old traditional world to a new one, in a gradual process that was triggered by the intensification of cultural contact with the Greek and Phoenician coastal cities 1. This transformation naturally also affected the social field of reli- gion, which provided a system of guidance and values in the local communities 2. These transformations and their materialisation at cult sites in the indigenous inland form the main focus of this article. The first section outlines in archaeological terms how the »old world« found expression in Western and Central Sicily and shows what kind of material manifestations of ritual and religion can be determined. The second part shifts the focus to the transformation processes that lead to a »new world« and different form of cult sites. The third and final section shows on the basis of two case studies how these worlds are interwoven. It makes clear that the social field of religion played a central role in installing new power structures in the local communities of Western and Central Sicily and shows how the old world of ancestors and forebears was used as foundations for creating new social identities. FORMAtion – THE »OLD TRADITIONAL WORLD« Since the Bronze Age, the traditional settlement structures consisted of a cluster of buildings with oval, round or rectangular outline, usually grouped around a courtyard or an open area. They resemble hamlet- like farmsteads, so-called compounds, as is illustrated by ethnological comparative studies 3. A direct parallel to these settlement structures can be found, for example, in the Iron Age settlements in the north-west of the Iberian Peninsula. Similar to Sicily, the small, fortified settlements in the north-west of Iberian Galicia comprise groups of round-houses with rectangular annexes surrounded by a boundary wall, the typical architectural units for compounds. Within these compounds one or several buildings usually with circular plans serve for social gatherings and intra-familial or clan-internal rituals 4. Particularly the Sanfins hill-fort settlement in northern Portugal (14 ha) 5 is reminiscent of Sicilian Bronze and Iron Age settlement structures, e. g. the settlements of Thapsos 6, Cannatello 7, Mokarta 8 or I Faraglioni on the island of Ustica 9 (figs 1-2). Like the Galician settlement, the latter consist of several compounds sepa- Fig. 1 Sanfins hill-fort in northern Portugal: a settlement plan; b reconstruction of a south Galician compound. – (After González-Ruibal 2006, 155 fig. 9; 154 fig. 8). a b Materielle Kultur und Identität im Spannungsfeld zwischen mediterraner Welt und Mitteleuropa 107 b Fig. 2 Mokarta: a settlement plan; b round-hut 6; c reconstruction. – (After a c Tusa 2009, 42 fig. 4; 44 figs 6-7). rated from one another by enclosing walls and arranged along the line of the streets. The inhabitants of such compounds usually lived within extended families or clan-like groups 10. The existence of this kind of social system in Western and Central Sicily is corroborated not only by the settlement structures, but also by the funerary record in the necropoleis 11. The predominant burial ritual was shaped by multiple burials in rock-cut chamber tombs. This is particularly in evidence in the East Necropolis of Polizzello 12. In Tombs 5 and 25 multiple burials were found across several layers, indicating the succession of generations from the 8th well into the 6th century B.C. 13. Starting from this socio-archaeological framework of living in compounds, the material expressions of this way of life shall be considered in greater detail and will shed light on the field of religion, as well as ritual and sacrificial practices in the indigenous settlements. The architectural clay model of Monte Iato serves as a useful starting-point, arising from the socio-reli- gious structure of the »old world« (fig. 3). Not only does it depict a prestigious round-house, but it also portrays a powerful bull, situated on the roof. On a symbolic level, the two key elements of traditional cultic and sacrificial practices have been united here to create a meaningful memorial to the past: on the one hand, the model comprises the central hut of the compound which traditionally served as the cul- tic and feasting hut for the extended family; on the other hand, it shows the bull which stands for the animal sacrifices that symbolised the virility of the host and local leadership. This interpretation of the latter is supported, above all, by a series of small bull Fig. 3 Architectural clay model with a cow on the top from Monte statuettes that were identified in cultic contexts, but Iato. – (After Isler 2009, 163 fig. 31a-d). also during excavations

    Carla Guzzone Soprintendenza per i Beni Culturali ed Ambientali di Caltanissetta Siti archeologici del territorio nisseno in rapporto alle testimonianze diodoree. L’importanza crescente che l’opera di Diodoro riveste negli studi di storia antica, non solo stret- tamente siciliana, è ormai riconosciuta ben al di là dell’ambito rigorosamente specialistico. Questa consapevolezza, già certamente presente agli organizzatori del convegno tenutosi tra Catania ed Agira nel dicembre 1984, con il coordinamento scientifico dell’Università degli Studi di Catania, risultò enormemente accresciuta dai contributi offerti, proprio in quella circostanza, alla definizione della prospettiva storica complessiva di Diodoro ed alla conoscenza del suo metodo storiografico. 1 Nell’am bito degli studi sul mondo antico, uno fra i campi di ricerca che hanno obbiettivamen- te tratto maggiori vantaggi dalla consultazione del testo diodoreo è certo quello archeologico, in relazione al quale Diodoro ha spesso fornito al dato materiale conferme e sostanza storica (antici- pandolo – talvolta - sorprendentemente), fornendo nuovi spunti alla ricerca e contribuendo ad orientare una stimolante impostazione di nuove problematiche archeologiche. Una rilettura, per ovvie ragioni selettiva, della Biblioteca, applicata all’archeologia del territo- rio provinciale di Caltanissetta, non può non ricondurci in primo luogo alla Sikanìa, e a quella media valle del Platani, in cui le fonti esplicitamente ambientano ( Hdt. VII, 170-171) la leggenda di Dedalo, Minosse e Kokalos e la saga dei cretesi in Sicilia, dettagliatamente narrata da Diodoro nel suo IV libro. La vicenda è nota. Il cretese Minosse, signore dei mari, giunge a Camico, reggia del sicano Kokalos, per vendicarsi dell’artefice Dedalo lì rifugiatosi, ma vi perisce nel bagno caldo apprestato con ingannevole ospitalità dalle figlie del re.

    HESPERIA 68.2, I999 "'ADYTO N ," "OPI STHO DOO S," AND THE INNER ROO/ OFr TH1rznECEEK/ T EMPLED For Lucy Shoe Meritt We know very little of what took place inside a Greek temple. Sacrifice, the focal act of communal religious observance,was enacted outside, on an open-air altar usually opposite the main, east, facade of the temple, while the interior contained objects dedicated to the deity, including a cult statue. In form most Greek temples had a single main interior room, or cella; some had an additional small room behind it, accessible only from the cella. Such a subdivision of interior space suggests that the inner chamber served a special function. This study is designed to ascertain why some temples had inner rooms and how these chambers were used, questions that shed light on the nature of the temple itself. Examination of termi- nology used for temple interiors and of archaeological remains of temples with inner rooms, together with literary and epigraphical references to activities that occurred in temples, indicates a larger economic role for many temples and less secret ritual than has been assumed.1 Nomenclature is a central issue here, as naming incorporates a set of 1.

  • Sicily Before the Greeks. the Interaction with Aegean and the Levant in the Pre-Colonial Era
    Open Archaeology 2020; 6: 172–205 Review Article Davide Tanasi* Sicily Before the Greeks. The Interaction with Aegean and the Levant in the Pre-colonial Era https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2020-0107 received April 17, 2020; accepted July 1, 2020. Abstract: The relationship between Sicily and the eastern Mediterranean – namely Aegean, Cyprus and the Levant – represents one of the most intriguing facets of the prehistory of the island. The frequent and periodical contact with foreign cultures were a trigger for a gradual process of socio-political evolution of the indigenous community. Such relationship, already in inception during the Neolithic and the Copper Age, grew into a cultural phenomenon ruled by complex dynamics and multiple variables that ranged from the Mid-3rd to the end of the 2nd millennium BCE. In over 1,500 years, a very large quantity of Aegean and Levantine type materials have been identified in Sicily alongside with example of unusual local material culture traditionally interpreted as resulting from external influence. To summarize all the evidence during such long period and critically address it in order to attempt historical reconstructions is a Herculean labor. Twenty years after Sebastiano Tusa embraced this challenge for the first time, this paper takes stock on two decades of new discoveries and research reassessing a vast amount of literature, mostly published in Italian and in regional journals, while also address the outcomes of new archaeometric studies. The in-depth survey offers a new perspective of general trends in this East-West relationship which conditioned the subsequent events of the Greek and Phoenician colonization of Sicily.

ABSTRACT: The paper presents a digital approach to the reconstruction and analysis of two small-sized fragments of louteria, a kind of large terracotta vase, found during an archaeological survey in the south of Sicily (Italy), in the area of Cignana near the Greek colony of Akragas (nowadays Agrigento). The fragments of louteria have been studied by an image-based approach in order to achieve high accurate and very detailed 3D models. The 3D models have been used to carry out interpretive and geometric analysis from an archaeological point of view. Using different digital tools, it was possible to highlight some fine details of the louteria decorations and to better understand the characteristics of the two fragments. The 3D models provide also the possibility to study and to document these archaeological finds in a digital environment. 1. INTRODUCTION A novel digital approach, based on the 2D recordings of single potsherds, was tested for the reconstruction of a complete vessel Over the last few years, many studies have focused on digital (Zvietcovich et al., 2016).

  • Celebrating the Severans: Commemorative Politics and the Urban Landscape in High Imperial Sicily
    Celebrating the Severans: Commemorative Politics and the Urban Landscape in High Imperial Sicily 1. Introduction Sicily is often characterized as resistant or immune to the dramatic processes of social and cultural change that affected the Mediterranean basin during Rome’s most intensive period of imperial expansion in the late Republic and the early Principate, and then as socially, politically, and culturally isolated from the wider Mediterranean world for the rest of the imperial period. 1 The usual evi- dence cited of Sicilian communities’ resistance or apathy to the cultural and material trappings of Roman imperial power is the limited use of Latin in pub- lic and private inscriptions, 2 as well as the lack of explosive urban growth and monumentalization on the island. For example, relatively few imperial-era, purpose-built administrative buildings (curiae, basilicae), leisure structures (bath houses, theaters, amphitheaters) or cult buildings have been identified in Sicily, even within the island’s six Augustan colonies. 3 1 Scholarship on the processes of cultural change in Rome and its empire that were described as “Romanization” for much of the twentieth century is extensive. A. WALLACE- HADRILL, Rome’s Cultural Revolution, Cambridge, 2008, p. 7-32, and D.J. MATTINGLY, Imperialism, Power, and Identity: Experiencing the Roman Empire, Princeton, 2010, p. 22-42 and p. 203-245, offer notable critiques of “Romanization” and other similarly restrictive terms for describing cultural change in ancient communities, and put forward the alternative concepts of “bi-/multi-lingualism” and “discrepancy”, respectively. 2 For the (lack of an) epigraphic culture – especially in Latin – in Roman-era Sicily, see J.R.W.
