Monte Pellegrino is one of the most significant complexes for the prehistoric settlement in Sicily; it is a vast territory, but well delimited, where an extraordinary richness in archaeological sites is attested, spread out between the central area of the relief and all its slopes. As regards to the prehistoric age are documented both outdoor settlements and, above all, inside caves, frequented since the Mesolithic. The archaeological knowledge of Monte Pellegrino in prehistory is the result of decades of systematic investigations that in this article will provide a further contribution to research, increasing the previous knowledge with new elements and with an unpublished photographic and graphic documentation. The study wants to put at the centre of the interest of the scholars the extraordinary history of this mountain, since always a strong and peculiar element of the historical landscape of Palermo.

G. Mannino, Le Grotte di Monte Gallo, Notiziario Archeologico Soprintendenza Palermo, n. 15/2016For the first time is presented a complete panorama of the current knowledge on the grottoes of Monte Gallo, an area of extraordinary importance for the prehistoric settlement in the area of Palermo. Through a careful cataloguing, which includes references to topographical, morphological aspects, accompanied by graphic and photographic documentation, even historical, and archaeological data, often unpublished, we have got a picture of great interest, which, together with the studies, already published, on Monte Pellegrino and on the other grottoes of the mountains of Palermo, allow us to have a tool for a complete study of the knowledge of the Prehistory of one of the most interesting and rich in rock stretches of the northern coast of Sicily.

The aim of this report is to present the results of archaeological samples, executed in order to contrast illegal researches on a necropolis at Baucina, in the northwestern part of Sicily, where Punic, Greek and indigenous traditions coexisted, in a relationship which is the focus of our ongoing investigation. We collected an archeological dataset, whose interpretation is detecting an articulated situation where the interaction between three different ethnic groups gave as result the variety of rituals. The future excavations of the site could increase the perception of this interaction, for a period in which Greeks and Punics designed their spheres of influence of the territories within the Mediterranean area, telling us about the role of the social system within the geopolitical framework.

G. Mannino, Alia: il complesso rupestre della Gurfa, Notiziario Archeologico Soprintendenza Palermo, n. 8/2016This contribution about the Gurfa presents a careful study that, based on research conducted for over a century, means to make the point on one of the most significant rock art evidence in Sicily. Since Prehistory, until the 20 th century, this site has been housing different forms of occupation and cultures who have left significant traces in relation to the different functions assigned to the various parts of the cave complex. The oldest ones are formed by chamber tombs of Bronze Age; later, during the middle ages, the rock wall was excavated and configured in several rooms, for housing or for storage of agricultural products, as in the case of large room " campaniforme " , most likely intended to "grain pit". The Gurfa certainly was, in medieval times, the Centre of an important settlement of the Teutonic complex, which controlled extensive territories in the hinterland of Palermo. Finally, still in the last century, the use of the site was connected to the management of agro-pastoral fertile feud that stretches around the caves.

Nel contributo è presentato un inedito spillone di bronzo a tre volute e sperone, proveniente dalla località Valle Fredda di Priverno (LT) e oggi esposto presso il locale Museo Archeologico, tipologicamente assimilabile ad un esemplare proveniente dall’insediamento sommerso del Lago di Mezzano (Valentano, VT). In this paper an unpublished three-volute with spur bronze pin is presented, coming from the locality of Valle Fredda of Priverno (LT) and now exhibited at the local Archaeological Museum. The pin can be assimilated to a specimen from the submerged settlement of Lake Mezzano (Valentano, VT).

M. Valentino, S. Vassallo, Scavare in un tombino sotto l'autostrada: ricerche nella necropoli occidentale di Himera, Notiziario Archeologico della Soprintendenza di Palermo n. 32/2018The excavation of the eastern and western necropolises of Himera involved, in some sectors, very difficult interventions, having to work in areas of the very complex railway yard, connected to other and different needs. This is the case of the two areas explored in the western necropolis below the embankment of the Palermo-Catania motorway. To ensure that the excavation was organised in a manner that met the need for scientific documentation of the tombs, which lay about 8 metres below the asphalt, a complex construction site was built, with very limited space and unusual methods. This article aims, above all, to illustrate how in the excavations for the protection of large public works, in such unfavourable environments, it is important to find all the technical solutions, necessary to reconcile scientific needs and the completion of public works, in this case of primary and fundamental importance.

S. Vassallo, Archeologie invisibili nella provincia di Palermo, Notiziario Archeologico Soprintendenza Palermo, n. 29/2017The excitement of discovering monuments slightly or totally not known to archaeological studies has always been a non-secondary aspect of common feel in our discipline. Sensationalist reports are very often proposed by scholars to people, that sometimes constitute a valid contribution to the historical reconstruction of the territory, other times they are interpretations that in the light of a more careful examination, they reveal themselves unsubstantiated or they are lacking of the necessary method of analysis to support a hypothesis. This article shows some "discoveries" of recent years in the province of Palermo which the Soprintendenza, after a careful evaluation of the data, thought to be not convincing, for they don't own any foundation or because there are not enough elements to consider them truthful. The Soprintendenza, however, want to highlight that even in these cases dialogue and confrontation, essential elements for historical research, are always appropriate.
