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.

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.
