Ceramiche egee e di derivazione egea da Porto Perone-Satyrion. Nuovi documenti

!e settlement of Porto Perone-Satyrion (Taranto) – which was investigated between the beginning and the mid-Twentieth century – is one of the most important points of reference for the reconstruction of manifold aspects of the central Mediterranean protohistory. For a long time it was one of the few Bronze and Early Iron Age settlements in southern Italy to have been intensively and correctly excavated. Porto Perone-Satyrion is one of many sites that between Middle and Late Bronze Age were involved both in Mycenaean trade and in the technological transfer in the "eld of pottery production *om the Aegean to the central Mediterranean. !ese phenomena are witnessed by a rich and multifarious set of exotic ceramics, starting *om those of Mesoelladic tradition, up to the typical Aegean and Aegean-derivative pottery that characterized south-eastern Italy during the Late Bronze Age. !e resumption of the archaeological in+estigations at Satyrion by the team of the Sapienza – University of Rome, directed by the late Enzo Lippolis, brought to light further evidence of these wares, as well as signi"cant traces of Bronze Age structures. !e new data can contribute to "ll the gaps in the results of the archaeological investigations carried out by F.G. Lo Porto, allowing a careful reassessment of the still open issues.
