Making Landscape. Approaching the pre- and prothistoric taskscapes on the islet of Sant’Antioco/Sardinia.

南撒丁岛在Nuragic时期是一个更广泛的地中海海运网络的一部分，这反映在几个物质遗迹中：迈锡尼和塞浦路斯陶器的发现，冶金证据中外部影响的鉴定以及东地中海Nuragic发现的数量越来越多。虽然众所周知，撒丁岛南部参与了这一更广泛的地中海网络，但几乎不知道Nuragic人口是如何参与的。它仍然是开放的问题，无论是积极塑造这些网络的居民或一个相当被动的消费者。后者已被经常含蓄地假设，这项研究的目的是照亮Nuragic参与到海洋世界和海运的相互关系，通过调查的微型区域的小岛圣安蒂奥科。Nuragic遗址的高密度无疑说明了该地区在这一时期的关键作用。这一关键作用的一个可能的原因-因为它是为后来的腓尼基和迦太基时期-是海岛与其天然港口，其中圣安蒂奥科明显不同于撒丁岛的其他调查microregions的海洋性。后者大多位于内陆山区，被认为是青铜时代和铁器时代早期人口的典型游牧生活。相比之下，圣安蒂奥科的居民在新石器时代和铜石时代就已经利用了海洋特征，这可以从碧玉和黑曜石分布中反映出的海上网络中得到证明。Maladroxia、Cala Bianca或波尔图迪特里加的Nuraghe S 'Ega Marteddu的海洋方位支持了对史前时期的类似假设。这样的海洋景观从未在Nuragic考古学中进行过系统的分析。因此，该项目的目标将是填补这一空白，并将这一独特的特征作为景观考古方法的一部分。作为一项考古研究，它的目标是超越对沿海努拉吉的少数且往往是零碎的研究，或大多是脱离背景的进口物品清单。相反，该项目采取了一种相当全面的方法，调查居民在生计经济和交换领域的日常生活，以及他们参与更零星的仪式、社会或政治活动的情况。分析的任务景观及其空间布局将有助于我们追踪特定的土地和海景占用的居民，并雕刻出他们可能的看法和意义。这种背景分析有可能打破几乎是刻板印象的想法，即Nuragic人口是登山者和牧民，局限于田园生活，远离海洋，这种想法往往在文学和旅游商业化中永久存在，并部分进入了当地身份和营销的叙述。

Southern Sardinia during the Nuragic period was part of a wider Mediterranean seaborn web which is reflected in several material remains: the discovery of Mycenaean and Cypriote pottery, the identification of external influences in the metallurgical evidence and the increasing number of Nuragic finds in the Eastern Mediterranean. While it is well-known that southern Sardinia participated in this wider Mediterranean network, almost nothing is known about how the Nuragic population was indeed involved. It remains open to questions whether the inhabitants were actively shaping these networks or a rather passive consumer.As the latter has been often implicitly assumed, the study aims to illuminate the Nuragic involvement into the maritime world and seaborn interrelations through the investigation of the micro-region of the islet of Sant’Antioco. The high density of monumental Nuragic sites unquestionable speaks for the region’s key role during this period. A possible reason for this key role – as it is for the later Phoenician and Punic period - is the maritime character of the islet with its natural harbours in which Sant’Antioco clearly differs from other investigated microregions of Sardinia. The latter are mostly located in the mountainous inland and are considered as being typical for the assumed pastoral subsistence of the Bronze and Early Iron Age population. In contrast, the inhabitants of Sant’Antioco already took advantage of the maritime character in the Neolithic and Chalcolithic period as it can be shown by a seaborn network reflected in the jasper and obsidian distribution. The sea-orientation of the Nuraghe S’Ega Marteddu of Maladroxia, Cala Bianca or Porto di Triga support a similar assumption for the protohistoric period. Such a maritime landscape has never been systematically analyzed in Nuragic archaeology. Therefore, the aim of the project will be to fill this gap and to focus on this unique feature as part of a landscape- archaeological approach.As a landscape-archaeological study it aims to reach beyond the few and often fragmentary studies of coastal nuraghe or the mostly decontextualized listing of imported objects. Instead, the project has a rather holistic approach and investigates the inhabitant’s daily routines within the realm of subsistence economy and exchange as well as their involvement in more sporadic ritual, social or political activities. The analyzed taskscapes and their spatial layout will help us to trace the specific land- and seascape appropriation of the inhabitants and to carve out their possible perceptions and meanings. Such a contextual analysis has the potential to break the almost stereotype idea of the Nuragic population as mountaineers and herdsman, restricted to pastoral life and averted from the sea, which is often perpetuated in literature and touristic commercialization and which has partly entered narratives of local identity and marketing.
