Abstract

Syracuse and its countryside played a crucial role in the economy of ancient Sicily. Despite its historical and economic importance in the Roman and Medieval periods, our knowledge about the organization of its agricultural production, and economic circuit between the rural settlements and the city are limited. From 2009 the researches of the “Institute of Heritage Sciences – CNR” attempt to remedy this omission by outlining a preliminary picture of the rich historical and archaeological heritage of Priolo Gargallo, which will be analysed using a multidisciplinary approach (archaeological survey, geophysical investigations, aerial photography analysis, etc.).
