| الملخص: | This paper proposes a general framework for the data concerning metalworking in the post-classical phases of Roman villas in Italy from the 5th to the 7th centuries AD. Archaeological evidence for the presence of production processes linked to the manufacturing and recycling of metals have been described for some villas of particular significance (such as Mola di Monte Gelato, Colombarone, Aiano-Torraccia di Chiusi, Barricelle, Faragola), as well as those with less detailed documentation. By interpreting such sites, it emerges that metallurgical activities are an important indicator for framing the social and economic characteristics of post-villa contexts between the Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. |
