The work describes data concerning literary sources associated with the consumption of wine in the Classical Age. Secondly, some containers and figurative repertories related to specific and sometimes peculiar symposia practices are illustrated. Subsequently, various aspects of viticulture are dealt with, starting from literary and purely archaeological evidence, concerning specific containers, plants and tools used in the Greek colonies and in the indigenous hinterland. Finally, some hypotheses are presented on the conservation and consumption of wine, based on bioarchaeological analysis, carried out on finds from recent archaeological research. All of the work mainly concentrates on some case studies in Basilicata, between the Archaic and Late Hellenistic Ages.

Abstract
The work describes data concerning literary sources associated with the consumption of wine in the Classical Age. Secondly, some containers and figurative repertories related to specific and sometimes peculiar symposia practices are illustrated. Subsequently, various aspects of viticulture are dealt with, starting from literary and purely archaeological evidence, concerning specific containers, plants and tools used in the Greek colonies and in the indigenous hinterland. Finally, some hypotheses are presented on the conservation and consumption of wine, based on bioarchaeological analysis, carried out on finds from recent archaeological research. All of the work mainly concentrates on some case studies in Basilicata, between the Archaic and Late Hellenistic Ages.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
