Since 1994, the Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma-CSIC (Spanish National Research Council) has been coordinating the " Tusculum " Research Project, dedicated to the rediscovery and study of this important ancient settlement situated 30 km southeast of Rome. In 2012, the EEHAR launched an archaeological project focusing on exploring the medieval site, where-thanks to the drastic interruption of the continuity of life in the area since the thirteenth century-, today we have the possibility to analyze the city urban planning, while providing an interesting case for analysis of reuse and recover of Antiquity. Dal 1994, la Escuela Española de Historia y Archeología en Roma-CSIC (EEHAR-Consiglio Nazionale Spagnolo delle Ricerche) coordina il progetto di ricerca " Tusculum " , dedicato alla riscoperta e allo studio di questo importante insediamento antico situato a meno di 30 km a sud-est di Roma. Nel 2012, la EEHAR ha iniziato un nuovo progetto archeologico specificamente dedicato a esplorare la fase post-classica del sito, dove grazie alla drastica interruzione della continuità di vita nell'area a partire dal XIII secolo deriva oggi la possibilità di indagare l'articolazione urbanistica dell'abitato, fornendo ulteriormente un caso di studio molto interessante per l'analisi delle modalità di reimpiego e recupero dell'antico.

In 2012, the launched an archaeological project dedicated to explore the medieval
site of Tusculum. The effort made over the past four years to experiment in Tusculum –in
particular in the area of the medieval fortress– using a highly multidisciplinary approach and
pursuing an integrated interpretation of data by specialists with different backgrounds, has
enable for the first time the formulation of an historical framework that is not limited to the
reconstruction of a single monument, but aims, instead, to read it within a larger framework
of reference: notably the reconstruction of the medieval town planning (arx and civitas), Tusculum’s
relationship with its landscape, and the daily life of its inhabitants. This paper presents
the results from the 2015 season of excavation.

Since 1994 the Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma-CSIC (EEHAR-Spanish National Research Council) has been coordinating the “Tusculum” Research Project, dedicated to the rediscovery and study of this important ancient settlement situated 20 km south-east of Rome. In 2012, the EEHAR launched an archaeological project dedicated to exploring explicitly the medieval site. In the following pages, an analysis of Tusculum’s urban planning (10th-12th centuries), based on aerial photographs (with drone and kite), topographical analysis, geophysical surveys and stratigraphic excavation campaigns is presented.

Since 1994, the Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en
Roma (EEHAR-CSIC) develops an archaeological research project focused on the city of Tusculum. In 2011, a new project, “Tusculum en época medieval: territorio, paisaje, economía y sociedad” started with a clear willingness to provide a new direction to explore and incorporate new research trends and different methodological approaches, focusing on the more unknown phases of the city: the Late Antiquity and the Middle Age. The project, in fact, focused on these marginal historical periods, pays attention to the urban core relationships with the environmental context. Besides the reconstruction of the landscape and the economic structure of the ancient and medieval Tusculum, the study is complemented by the analysis of the main activities carried out on the territory: agricultural production, strategies and crop type, human and animal nutrition and the method of preservation, storage and food
processing.

The EEHAR-CSIC project “Tusculum en época medieval: territorio, paisaje, economía y sociedad” (PIE n. 201210E033) began in 2012 with the clear goal of exploring and incorporating new research trends and different methodological approaches in order to reach a better understanding of the medieval period. Further to its aim of reconstructing the landscape and economic structure of ancient and medieval Tusculum, the archaeological research is complemented by multidisciplinary techniques, such as geophysical surveys, topography, and drone and kite aerial photography.

Since 1994 the EEHAR-CSIC has run an archaeological project focusing on the city of Tusculum, near Rome. In 2012, a new phase, centred on the medieval occupation of the city, began with new excavations on the Rocca. During this period (11th-12th cent.), the city was the principal centre of the powerful line of the Counts of Tuscolo, whose political and economic influence extended over a large region. The project’s multidisciplinary approach will allow new research avenues to be opened up.

Currently, the abandoned settlement of Tuscolo is a
valuable reference for the knowledge and the reconstruction
of the society and the culture of the medieval
Lazio. Tuscolo, located less than 20 km from Rome,
was the dynastic Rocaforte and the center of the powerful
lineage of the Counts of Tuscolo, whose political
and economic influence was extended, between the xi
and xii centuries, from today’s Castelli Romani to the
coast of Lazio, including Rome itself. The destruction
of the city in 1191, and the damnatio memoriae of the
Comune of Rome, neighbor and rival, condemned
Tuscolo, and provoked, from the xiii century, the
oblivion of the exact location of the site, which lasted
until the xviii.
The drastic interruption of the existence of the city
allows the investigation of the urban planning and
the organization of the social and domestic space of
the habitat during the x-xii centuries, a period and a
region, the Lazio, where few archaeological samples
that has not been altered by the successive transformations
and natural development of the society in the
different settlements, are preserved.
The present study aims to investigate the relationship
between the built space and the social structure
that conceived and develop them, both the micro
(houses) and the medium (urban fabric) level, as well
as the customs, manners and social practices as elements
of symbolic representation.
