LATE ANTIQUE SETTLEMENT ON THE PLAIN OF VERONA
View through CrossRef
In recent years, late antique landscapes and settlement transformation have formed an important research area at the University of Padua. This paper presents the results and the preliminary conclusions of recent research on a low-lying area between the provinces of Verona and Mantua. Between the 2nd and 3rd c., this region saw the widespread abandonment of smaller sites. The landscape of the 4th c. and later was dominated by larger sites, some of which remained in use until the 6th c. The paper presents the evidence for this process and highlights both the difficulties inherent in defining general trends in regional change and the problems of understanding the specific reasons behind the transformations that occurred.
