It is thus intended to update traditional views regarding the evolution of this territory from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages by bringing into the picture new data from archaeological excavations undertaken at several sites across Sicily, new information from surveys of written sources, and new reflections based on the analysis of both material and documentary sources. The volume is divided into thematic areas: Urbanscapes, suburbia, hinterlands; Inland and mountainous landscapes; Changes in rural settlement patterns; and Defence and control of the territory. The essays underline the fundamental contribution of archaeological research in Sicily to the debate on the formation of early medieval landscapes at the crossroads between the Byzantine and Islamic worlds. A comparison with other research areas and constant dialogue with historical sources constitute essential elements for advancing our knowledge of the rural and suburban world of Sicily as a case study illustrating wider Mediterranean dynamics. 410 0$aLimina/Limites: Archaeologies, Histories, Islands and Borders in the Mediterranean (365-1556) Series 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aArchaeology 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y476-1492$vhistory 615 0$aSocial sciences 615 0$aArchaeology. 676 $a945.802 702 $aCastrorao Barba$b Angelo$f1983-$4edt 702 $aMandala?$b Giuseppe$4edt 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910753382403321 996 $aSuburbia and Rural Landscapes in Medieval Sicily$93584755 997 $aUNINA
