Studi di provenienza su anfore da trasporto da alcuni siti indigeni della provincia di Catania (VI-IV sec. a.C.): primi dati.: Introduzione Questo contributo non costituisce l?esito di uno studio sistematico, ma vuol essere piuttosto stimolo ed incentivo per un filone di ricerca da sviluppare in futuro. L?articolo si inserisce nella problematica più ampia dell?identificazione di provenienza delle anfore greco-occidentali attestate in Sicilia, che costituisce l?argomento principale dell?ottava edizione di FACEM.

Anfore e ceramica acroma dall'avamposto militare di Monte Turcisi (CT). Uno studio preliminare sulle provenienze: Introduzione Il modesto rilievo collinare alto 303 m, denominato ?Monte Turcisi?, si trova al confine settentrionale della Piana di Catania e ricade oggi nel comune di Castel Di Iudica, in provincia della città etnea. Le strutture di interesse archeologico su di esso affiornati riguardano principalmente i resti relatvi ad una fortezza militare di epoca greca e di un eremo del XVII sec. d.C.
