Introduction to the Workshop

Abstract

The short paper introduces the topics addressed during the international seminar dedicated to the proto-history of the North Adriatic regions, with particular reference to the Middle and Late Bronze Age. The publication of the contributions had the chance to broadly develop the reports presented during the Seminar and constitutes a fundamental update of the state of the art about the Bronze Age settlements, landscape and exploitation of resources. Extensive emphasis has been given to some sites investigated in recent years and to the environmental and geographical characteristics of the North Adriatic landscape.
