Archeologia nel territorio nonantolano: fondamenti di studio

Nonantola has been the object of attention of local scholars and authoritative humanists since the 16th century, as the seat of the famous Benedictine abbey of S. Silvestro. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the value of the research carried out in the past, it is useful to reflect on the quantitative and qualitative elements, particularly with regard to the way in which archaeological data was acquired, which can be succinctly verified by the graphs drawn up and deduced from the archaeological maps compiled for the two municipalities. Characterizations of the rural settlement on the basis of the known, distinguished by broad chronological phases and described through the compiled site cards are presented.
