This study introduces preliminary data on the building, nominated as environment XII, uncovered during the last excavations (2008 and 2009) in the area of the Archaeological Park of Siponto. The analysis of the masonry structures, even though just preserved, the interpretation of the stratigraphical data and the analysis of the finds, among which numerous fragments of painted plaster, substain the functional hypothesis that the building is a church with its cemetery space. The archeo-anthropological and paleopatological research on skeletons supplies interesting signs on the inhabitants of Siponto in the last phase of the city, in the first half of the XIII century.

Abstract
This study introduces preliminary data on the building, nominated as environment XII, uncovered during the last excavations (2008 and 2009) in the area of the Archaeological Park of Siponto. The analysis of the masonry structures, even though just preserved, the interpretation of the stratigraphical data and the analysis of the finds, among which numerous fragments of painted plaster, substain the functional hypothesis that the building is a church with its cemetery space. The archeo-anthropological and paleopatological research on skeletons supplies interesting signs on the inhabitants of Siponto in the last phase of the city, in the first half of the XIII century.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
