The Contessa Entellina survey is an intensive and systematic archaeological survey carried out in western Sicily, on an area extending over 136.4 km 2 , out of which more than 114 km 2 were physically covered. The observation of settlement trends from the fourth to seventh centuries shows, on first glance, a noticeable drop in the number of sites from the third to fourth centuries, a new rise in the fifth century and a dramatic fall around the end of the century, followed by a period of stability or slow decrease throughout the sixth and seventh centuries. A more detailed analysis reveals, on the other hand, a much higher density of fifth century diagnostic artefacts (per site and per settled hectare), when compared with the previous and the two following centuries. The fifth century is therefore much more " visible " on the ground, and this may have contributed to the higher identification of fifth century sites. The massive presence of fifth century artefacts may not be exclusively due to a population increase: economic and socio-cultural factors most likely also came into play, distorting the resulting settlement picture. More precisely, a possible higher tendency towards a grain monoculture may have caused a massive import of African foodstuffs (attested by amphorae) between the late fourth and the middle fifth century, and peculiar dietary customs could explain the all-pervading diffusion of African Red Slip Ware cups belonging to the form Hayes 80-81. Similarly, if we take into consideration also less diagnostic artefacts such as roof tiles, we find that the fall in the number of sites between the end of the fifth and the sixth-seventh centuries may have been less drastic than it appears , and that it was followed by attempts to work out new settlement strategies, showing a fairly good resilience.

[IT] L’incontro di Studio intende avviare un dibattito intorno alle possibilità che diversi approcci metodologici offrono allo studio dei reperti numismatici in contesto, dal livello stratigrafico al ampio ambito spaziale. Ad indirizzare verso un comune obiettivo saranno indicati ai Relatori una serie di quesiti come “griglia” di base di confronto e per l’avvio della discussione.
Temi:
Sessione I
Dalla moneta al contesto - Dal contesto alla moneta
1) Il reperto in base ai contesti di rinvenimento: quali sono i processi che possono portare alla immobilizzazione della moneta nella stratigrafia e come interpretarli. a) Situazioni di giacitura primaria e secondaria, b) di posizione nel volume o interfaccia degli strati anche in relazione a processi formativi, c) di dialettica con altri materiali in associazione posti a confronto.
2) Interpretazione di uso e funzione del reperto numismatico in base al contesto funzionale e spaziale di rinvenimento (domus, necropoli / cimitero; santuario / chiesa, ecc.).
3) Differenze tra rinvenimenti monetali in siti di carattere pubblico/luoghi del potere e siti di carattere privato con annesso dibattito su come collocare e interpretare categorie particolari quali luoghi di culto o aree cimiteriali.
Sessione II
Dai dati sul rinvenimento allo studio della circolazione
4) come utilizzare, nell’analisi dei dati, i diversi livelli di informazione inerenti il rinvenimento numismatico: scavi archeologici da un lato e scoperte fortuite, prive di documentazione stratigrafica, dall’altro (dibattito sulle possibilità di analizzare le diverse fonti di informazione insieme o separatamente).
5) Possono i calcoli matematico-statistici aiutare a localizzare, in base ai rinvenimenti conosciuti, l’area di provenienza (zecca, ecc.), oppure le probabilità di circolazione di moneta in date aree? Quale apporto può fornire al materiale numismatico il confronto con metodi di analisi GIS applicati ad altri tipi di reperti?
