"This study offers a comprehensive overview of landscape and land use in southeast Italy in the first millennium BC. The mutual relationship between people and landscapes is placed in a broad geographical and chronological framework, innovatively combining archaeobotanical and arcaeozoological data with information from excavations, field surveys, and ancient written texts. The author uses this multi-scalar approach to shed new light on a number of much-discussed research themes, including food habits, the scale and organization of agricultural production, the influx of Greek (c.8th-5th centuries BC) and Roman (c. 3rd-2nd centuries BC) colonists, and globalization in local and regional land use."--Page [4] of cover.
