Ustica I: Excavations of 1990 and 1991 (Archaeologia Transatlantica, 14)

This volume of 102 pages with 140 black and white illustrations presents the results of the excavations of 1990 and 1991 conducted by the Superintendency for Cultural Property of the Province of Palermo in collaboration with Brown University at the site of the Bronze Age Citadel at I Faraglioni on the island of Ustica. The walls of the citadel are the best preserved defenses of this period known in Italy or Sicily. Other discoveries include the first known stone sculpture of the Sicilian Middle Bronze Age, a detailed record of domestic architecture and a large repertoire of the pottery of the site, which is related to that of the Milazzese Culture of the Lipari Islands.
