ENGLISH Grosseto is a new founded medieval town. The urban excavations allowed to understand the making process and the development of the early medieval village up to the walled Renaissance town.

ITALIANO Grosseto è una città di fondazione medievale, oggetto di scavi urbani che hanno permesso di comprendere le fasi di formazione e sviluppo del villaggio altomedievale fino alla definizione della città murata rinascimentale. Lo studio del territorio ha fornito numerose informazioni sulle dinamiche insediative e sulle trasformazioni del paleoambiente. In questo contributo vengono utilizzate le analisi spaziali per analizzare le fasi di formazione ed espansione del centro urbano, lo sfruttamento delle risorse del suo distretto amministrativo medievale con particolare riferimento al sale e ai cereali. L'applicazione di questi metodi alla base di dati documentaria e archeologica ha permesso di leggere le trasformazioni del paesaggio sotto una nuova luce e suscitare nuovi interrogativi. Questi strumenti consentono di orientare future ricerche su una maggiore interazione fra il sito e l'ambiente.

Abstract

ENGLISH Grosseto is a new founded medieval town. The urban excavations allowed to understand the making process and the development of the early medieval village up to the walled Renaissance town. The study of the surrounding territory produced several data about the settlement pattern and the transformations of the paleo-environment. In this paper we use the spatial analyses to study the making process of the urban centre, the exploitation of the natural resources within its juridical district, mainly salt and crops. These methods applied to the historical and archaeological dataset allowed to read the landscape's transformations from a different perspective and to raise new questions. These tools allow to direct further researches according to a closer relationship between the settlement and the natural environment.
