In this work, we present the results of a study centered on the Iron Age site of Baldaria di Cologna Veneta (Verona, Italy), located on a ridge in the Agno-Guà River between the Colli Berici and Colli Euganei. The site has been seamlessly occupied between the 8th and the half 6th century BC, but it is known only from decontextualized materials collected in the last two centuries, both from the cemetery and the settlement. Some previous studies tried to spatially locate these finds and reconstruct the settlement pattern, reviewing the local records and the available materials. Here, we will address the problem of the extension of the site. Until now, there is no agreement on the exact shape and extension of the settlement and some of the hypotheses provided in the literature are not grounded on the available data (or only partially so). For that reason, we propose a model based on a mixed approach that uses spatial analysis, archaeological data and local geomorphology. This model allowed us to propose a settlement extension of approximately 30 ha.

Abstract

In this work, we present the results of a study centered on the Iron Age site of Baldaria di Cologna Veneta (Verona, Italy), located on a ridge in the Agno-Guà River between the Colli Berici and Colli Euganei. The site has been seamlessly occupied between the 8th and the half 6th century BC, but it is known only from decontextualized materials collected in the last two centuries, both from the cemetery and the settlement. Some previous studies tried to spatially locate these finds and reconstruct the settlement pattern, reviewing the local records and the available materials. Here, we will address the problem of the extension of the site. Until now, there is no agreement on the exact shape and extension of the settlement and some of the hypotheses provided in the literature are not grounded on the available data (or only partially so). For that reason, we propose a model based on a mixed approach that uses spatial analysis, archaeological data and local geomorphology. This model allowed us to propose a settlement extension of approximately 30 ha.
