Setting the ancient city within the context of its immediate ter- ritory, the authors reveal the diverse and enduring links between the metropolis and its hinterland. At the heart of the volume is a detailed consideration of a complete restudy of the pioneering South Etruria Survey (c. 1955-1970), one of the earliest and most influential Mediterranean landscape projects. The results are supplemented with a number of other archaeological evidence to create a database of around 5000 sites across southern Etruria and the Sabina Tiberina. 372p, 131 col illus, 21 tbls (Archaeopress Publishing, September 2020, Archaeopress Roman Archaeology 70) paperback, 9781789696158, $77.00.

This session took place within the commission concerned with the European Neolithic. While most of the presentations fell within that chrono- logical period and were concerned with the Atlantic coast and the Mediterranean basin, wider geographical and chronological comparisons were also included. The volume aims to break the usual limits on the fields of study. New methods developed over the past ten years bring out new possibilities regarding the study of such monuments, and the conference proceedings open up unexpected and promising perspectives.
