Landscapes of mobility: the results of the Roca Archaeological Survey (Part 1)

The Roca Archaeological Survey, the archaeological survey centred on the landscape around the important settlement of Roca Vecchia (sometime spelled also Rocavecchia) in Southeastern Italy, has produced a wealth of new data on the landscape frequentation of one of the most important hubs in the central Mediterranean from later prehistory until medieval times. In this paper we present some of the results that can be drawn from the data analysed so far for each of the macro-periods of frequentation identified, trying to highlight how the specific features of a mobility hub like Roca Vecchia influenced occupation trends through time.
