Description: Roma: Institutum Romanum Finlandiae, 2012. 30cm., pbk., 164pp. illus. Summary: The Latin village of Ficana, known previously only from literary sources, was identified through archaeological survey as occupying the area of the hill of Monte Cugno, in the region of Acilia. The excavation of Ficana zona 6b, located on the flat plateau on top of this hill, was carried out over the years 1978-1981. The site of zona 6b, located outside the Iron Age agger and to the west of other earlier excavated zones, was chosen in order to study the extension, development, and chronology of the settlement. The structures unearthed included pits, child burials, and a complex variety of long walls, some with angular constructions incorporating ditches or channels. Through diachronic study of the finds, the chronology of zona 6b was divided into four phases spanning the 7th century BC to the 3rd century AD. The main period of construction and site use occurred during the second phase, from the 5th to the 3rd century BC. In addition to common domestic finds, a remarkable amount of dark coarse ware was identified. (Occasional Papers of the Nordic Institute in Rome, 8)
