Re-documenting the Pleistocene–Holocene Occupations of Arma dello Stefanin in Liguria, Italy

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Hunter-Gatherer Archaeology of Liguria: Recent Research and Insights" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

In 2022, our team started work at the Arma dello Stefanin to document the stratigraphy that had been unearthed in the 1960s and 1980s. In this presentation, we will summarize the results of our attempts to date the stratigraphy of the site to place it within its proper temporal context. This is the second conference presentation of our project “Documenting Forager Adaptations to Dramatic Climate Change at the Pleistocene-Holocene Transition in Liguria (Italy),” which aims to connect regional occupations dated to the transition to the broader social networks that were maintained during this period. Given that an important part of this project is to study archaeological assemblages from previous excavations, documenting the stratigraphic attribution of the assemblages is key to identifying potential links between contemporaneous sites.
