Gravina: An Iron Age and Roman Republican Settlement on Botromagno, Gravina di Puglia, Excavations 1965-7

This extensive volume presents the evidence uncovered by the British School at Rome between 1965 and 1974 for the Iron Age city of Silvium in Apulia, and for the Roman settlement that succeeded it. Its eight essays concentrate especially on the defences of the city of the late fourth century BC, the economic and social transformation of the settlement in the middle of the second century BC, and an osteological analysis of a sample of the burials from the sixth to the first centuries BC.
