Tyndaris e il suo territorio I, Introduzione alla carta archeologica del territorio di Tindari

The book is the first of two volumes describing the results of my research aimed to interpret, reconstruct and communicate cultural landscape of ancient Tyndaris, a Sicilian town founded as a Greek colony in 396 BC located on the high ground overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea in the Gulf of Patti, 70 km west of Messina. There are collected, with a strong multidisciplinary approach, the sources capable of providing valuable informations for documenting and understanding the cultural landscape (epigraphic documents, coins, historical, literary and archive sources, ancient maps, toponyms, but also geomorfology and geopedology).The work is an introduction to second forthcoming volume presenting the results of the intensive archaeological survey.
