The research scenario associated with the group is very challenging because modern research faces a series of logistical and climatic obstacles. The gradual retreat of glaciers has unearthed several archaeological remains of WWI such as barracks, barbed wire, military ammunition, weapons and other materials. The study site is the saddle between M. Vioz and Punta Linke, where the Historic War Museum of Pejo, under the direction of the Archaeological Service of the Province of Trento (Soprintendenza per i Beni Culturali, Ufficio Beni Archeologici), started an archaeological excavation in the year 2009 of some of the infrastructure of the cableway station, which also includes a tunnel section in the bedrock. The saddle is placed at the head of Forni Glacier. GPR and seismic imaging was the best survey choice to characteri...

The results of the excavation that took place in San Cassiano (2005-2006) are debated along with related anthropological studies. The site, placed beside the current Via Marone, follows the layout of an ancient Roman street characterised by the presence of burial areas. The area, about 6000 m 2 , presented the existence of a road that divided a Roman villa from two separated burial areas (dated respectively to the third and fourth centuries AD). The Roman villa, with structures that are dated from the first to the fourth centuries AD, included a large productive area better identified after the anthropological analysis of the individuals buried in the southern necropolis. In this area there were both incinerations and inhumations graves, all characterised by the same markers of osteological stress compatible to wool manufacturing. The smaller northern burial area was built for wealthier people, sometimes showing the traces of similar work activities. In the fifth-sixth centuries the landscape totally changed and a church was built, hosting a few high-status graves. The analysis of human remains revealed that all the individuals were males and showed the so-called "horseman syndrome" with some trauma fractures. We suppose that this leading group commissioned the church. After the fifth century, data agree upon a generalised implosion of economic structures, as confirmed by the markers of occupational stress on bones. Therefore the crossing of archeological and anthropological results trace the landscape history of the Benacense plain, from the well-organised and productive Roman period to a period lacking organisation and economic structures. This is the reason San Cassiano could be considered a significant component for the historical reconstruction of the Garda area in "the time of change".

Gli oggetti si trovavano disposti all’interno di un cinerario di pietra, un tipo di contenitore normalmente impiegato nelle sepolture di persone appartenenti alla classe media, in particolare liberti. Il corredo, oggi parzialmente perduto, comprendeva non solo manufatti tipici della composizione dei corredi tombali (contenitori per liquidi, monete, balsamari ecc.), ma anche una completa parure per il gioco d’azzardo. La tipologia dei reperti e l’analisi delle monete suggeriscono una datazione verso la meta del I secolo d.C.

Nel tentativo di fornire un contributo in merito a questo tema si \ue8 scelto in questa sede di concentrare l'attenzione in un ambito territoriale ristretto, ma per molti aspetti omogeneo, dal punto di vista storico, culturale e morfologico, quale l'area alpina. Il lavoro che \ue8 stato condotto non ha nei suoi obiettivi quindi l'edizione critica e completa dei graffiti rinvenuti nell'area alpina, ma un censimento degli stessi, attraverso una schedatura di dettaglio, finalizzata ad accertare se e quanto queste testimonianze siano diffuse in questa zona per tanti versi considerata fin dall'antichit\ue0 periferica ed arretrata rispetto al resto dell'Impero. Lo studio \ue8 stato articolato in pi\uf9 sezioni; dopo una breve sintesi sullo stato degli studi sul tema dell'alfabetizzazione e della edizione dei graffiti, si \ue8 preso in esame il territorio alpino per mettere in luce le caratteristiche e le vicende storiche di questo settore. La parte successiva \ue8 stata dedicata alla analisi del fenomeno della alfabetizzazione in et\ue0 romana e dei criteri di schedatura affrontati. Segue poi una parte di commento relativa agli aspetti pi\uf9 generali emersi dalla schedatura dei graffiti. La parte pi\uf9 consistente \ue8 quella relativa alla schedatura dei singoli graffiti.Purpose of this study is graffiti from the Roman period documented in the Alps. In the specific context of this work the graffiti have been interpreted as a primary source for the analysis of a much debated topic today that is related to the level of literacy of the population in Roman times. This theme , on which there is a vast literature , it has been repeatedly addressed by scholars who have made use of their interpretations of the many data supplied by trade literary , iconographic , epigraphic and archaeological led to two schools of thought diametrically opposed that recognize , respectively , a low and a high level of literacy in the society in Roman times. In an attempt to provide a contribution in the context of this vexed question you have chosen here to focus on a limited geographical area , but in many ways homogeneous , both in terms of the historical, cultural and morphological . The choice fell on the area alpine , because of its now recognized characteristics of homogeneity , it is increasingly the subject of specialized studies . The work that has been conducted does not have in its objectives then the critical edition and full of graffiti found in the alpine sites but a census of the same, through a cataloging of detail , with the aim to determine whether and how these testimonies recorded are widespread in this area in many ways be considered, since ancient device and backward compared to the rest of the empire. The study was divided into several sections, after a brief summary of the state of studies on the topic of literacy and the issue of graffiti, it is considered the Alpine region to highlight the features and historical events of this area. The next part was devoted to the analysis of the phenomenon of literacy in Roman times and the criteria for filing addressed. Then follows a commentary on part of the more general aspects that emerged from the filing of graffiti. The largest section is on the cards for each graffiti followed by the conclusions and bibliography
X-ray fluorescence analysis on a group of coins from the ancient roman city of Tridentum (Trento, Italy)

The coins, mainly made of copper-based alloys, were minted between the republican period (II century BC) and the last decades of the western empire (V century AD). The X-Ray Fluorescence archaeometric analysis has allowed a revision of the typological classification of the coins through the identification of six broad groups, each one characterized by a peculiar composition of the coins in the group. A tentative assignation of all the unreadable coins to one of the groups identified was proposed, in a way that could suggest also a possible dating of these coins.

This information, associated with the presence of a votive inscription in the castle from time immemorial, dating back to the Roman age and recalling an illustrious member of the Nonii Arrii family, led to the hypothesis that there may have been an important building in the area in the Roman age. In 2014 a number of inspections were carried out and the results led to the starting up of a research project involving different institutions that is currently underway. The projects have ascertained the presence of a large complex of buildings for which some preliminary data is provided here
