Extract

Between 1974 and 1978 the settlement archaeology of the Biferno valley in Molise in southern Italy was investigated by a programme of field survey, excavation and allied archaeological research directed by one of us (GB) and termed the Molise Project. For the historic periods the archaeology has been combined with documentary studies; both have then been integrated with geomorphological research into the environmental history of the valley, forming an inter-disciplinary investigation of the relationship between human settlement and landscape change in the valley from prehistoric times to the present day. For interim reports on the project, see Barker (1976, 1977), Barker et al. (1978), and Lloyd and Barker (1981).
