Cuma nel periodo pre-coloniale e coloniale attraverso gli scavi dell’Università di Napoli L’Orientale: frammenti di ceramica, frammenti di contesti, frammenti di storia

The aim of this paper is to illustrate, in a bird's eye view, how recent archaeological research at Cumae has contributed to enriching our knowledge of the initial phases of the site's history (13th – 5th centuries BC). The paper focuses on the excavations conducted since 2007 by the University of Naples L'Orientale in the Greek-Roman urban area north of the Forum baths and in the previous Pre-Hellenic village.
