"This volume in the Institute of Classical Archaeology's series on rural settlements
in the countryside (chora) of Metaponto is a study of the fourth-century BC farmhouse
known as Fattoria Fabrizio, located in the heart of the surveyed chora in the Venella
valley (at Ponte Fabrizio). This simple structure richly illustrates the life of fourth-century
BC Metapontine farmers of modest means. Thorough interpretations of the farmhouse
structure in its wider historical and socioeconomic contexts are accompanied by comprehensive
analyses of the archaeological finds. Among them is detailed evidence for the family
cult, a rare archaeological contribution to the study of Greek religion in Magna Grecia.
The entire range of local Greek ceramics has been studied, along with a limited number
of imports. Together they reveal networks within the chora and trade beyond it, involving
indigenous peoples of southern Italy, mainland Greeks, and the wider Mediterranean
world. Along with the studies of traditional archaeological finds, archaeobotanical
analyses have illuminated the rural economy of the farmhouse and the environment of
the adjacent chora. Abundant Archaic pottery also documents an important occupation,
during the first great flowering of the chora in the sixth century BC. This study
provides an ideal complement to the four volumes of The Chora of Metaponto 3: Archaeological
Field Survey; Bradano to Basento and an eloquent example of hundreds of farmhouses
of this date identified throughout the chora by their surface remains alone"
