Le ambre delle necropoli di Olmo di Nogara e Scalvinetto (VR)

The results of a preliminary archaeometric study of amber beads, including one sp acer bead, from the necropolises of Olmo di Nogara and Scalvinetto (Verona) are presented. The materials were selected on the basis of typology and chronology, dated between advanced Middle Bronze Age 1 and Recent Bronze Age 2 (Olmo) and between MBA3 and RBA2 (Scalvinetto). All samples are succinite. New data and considerations are emerging on an Adriatic-Adige Valley amber route in the light of the recent Bernstdorf (Bavaria) findings, for which an Aegean workmanship is postulated.
