The present work presents preliminary data regarding the processing and use of metal in Salento during the Middle Ages. The research, which is part of a larger project that analyses medieval settlement and territory, began with the archaeometry of a sample of metallic slag found during excavations and field surveys in Salento and proceeds with a typological and functional evaluation of metal objects from two deserted medieval villages, Quattro Macine (Giuggianello, province of Lecce) and Apigliano (Martano, province of Lecce), that have been excavated over the past few years.

Abstract
The present work presents preliminary data regarding the processing and use of metal in Salento during the Middle Ages. The research, which is part of a larger project that analyses medieval settlement and territory, began with the archaeometry of a sample of metallic slag found during excavations and field surveys in Salento and proceeds with a typological and functional evaluation of metal objects from two deserted medieval villages, Quattro Macine (Giuggianello, province of Lecce) and Apigliano (Martano, province of Lecce), that have been excavated over the past few years.File in questo prodotto:
