I Piceni: storia e archeologia delle Marche inepoca PreRomana (Biblioteca di Archeologia no. 29). 345 pages, 102b&w figures. 2000. Milan: Longanesi; 88-304-1599-5 L65,000 &33.57 [European Dollar]. Two publishers in Italy (Laterza and Longanesi) deservecommendation for producing relatively inexpensive tascabili (smallpaperbacks) on leading issues of archaeology by younger yet establishedarchaeologists still in their 40s. ALESSANDRO GUIDI (a member ofANTIQUITY'S editorial board) has just produced Preistoria dellacomplessita sociale. This is a fine survey of complex society whichshows a sound understanding of Anglo-American and Mediterraneanresearch. Too often the wealth of Mediterranean research on complexsociety is ignored in generalizing studies. On the other hand, theauthor is perhaps a little too honest in citing some of the short cutsemployed to gain access to Northern European examples of complexity.Some indigenous sources of research into Avebury, Newgrange and Barnenezwould have been worth exploring to balance his excellent coverage ofItaly, Spain and central Europe Central Europe is the region lying between the variously and vaguely defined areas of Eastern and Western Europe. In addition, Northern, Southern and Southeastern Europe may variously delimit or overlap into Central Europe. . Piceni forms part of an excellentseries on the peoples of pre-Roman Italy. ALESSANDRO NASO makes amasterly synthesis of historical sources, material culture andinterpretation. Knowledge of Italy in the English-speaking world hasconcentrated on Etruscans and Latins to the detriment of otherpopulations. The Picenes on the Adriatic coast of Italy are adistinctive group that NASO brings to life by coverage of the latestresearch from the Bronze Age Bronze Age,period in the development of technology when metals were first used regularly in the manufacture of tools and weapons. Pure copper and bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, were used indiscriminately at first; this early period is sometimes called the to the Roman conquest, transcending theprimarily funerary fu��ner��ar��y?adj.Of or suitable for a funeral or burial.[Latin fner evidence.
