Scavi a vacchereccia (rocchetta nuova) un insediamento tardo-romano e alto medievale nella valle del volturno in molise

Gli scavi e la ricognizione della collina conosciuta come Vacchereccia hanno individuato parte dell'insediamento alto-medievale descritto come Baccaricia nel Chronicon Volturnense. Questi scavi hanno messo in luce molte testimonianze di occupazione sul medio versante della collina, testimonianze che coprono un arco di tempo compreso tra il periodo tardo-Romano e la fine del XII o XIII secolo. Sono stati anche studiati i resti di un villaggio del XIII–XV secolo sulla sommitá della collina, sopra al sito piú antico. Questi scavi gettano una nuova luce sulla storia dell'insediamento rurale nell'Italia centrale e mettono in discussione il punto di vista tradizionale sulla agricoltura dell'Alto Medio Evo nelle proprietá dei grandi monasteri. I risultati pubblicati qui sono frutto della collaborazione tra l'Universitá di Sheffield e la Soprintendenza Archeologica del Molise, una collaborazione che avrá un ulteriore collaudo in altri siti medievali abbandonati nel'Alta Valle del Volturno, nel contesto del Progetto San Vincenzo.
