Modalità di popolamento dell'area fiorentina tra Neolitico e Bronzo finale: un aggiornamento

The Florentine area has been progressively populated since the Mesolithic period with an intensive demographic increase during Copper and Bronze Age. For this context multidisciplinary studies and a detailed reassessment of preceding data allow us to elaborate a reading of prehistoric landscape patterns which updates the previous settings with new hints on the dwelling organisation occurred in the alluvial plain. A specific focus is dedicated to Bronze Age and in particular to settlement strategies. Analysis on Bronze age and Neolithic Settlement Units are presented. The interpretation takes also into consideration the geomorphological data and the potentialities of mobility with neighbouring regions.
