Interesting video, according to the Archaeologist South Italy was invaded by North-Central Italian warriors during the LBA and the refugees from the South, along with the northern invaders, become the Sea People
Very interesting, this supports that there were not only movements from east to west, but also from west to east!
Indeed. I've added to my post number 2.
Everyone should listen to this broadcast. It's very illuminating.
Are the North-Central Italian Bronze Age invaders of South Italy the proto-Villanovans?
That's what I want to know, but I didn't hear the answer in the lecture, and as I said, all those Bronze Age sites go largely unexplored and the remains unanalyzed.
If someone who listens to it hears some exposition at least on the culture, please post.
http://www.regione.sicilia.it/benic...info/pubblicazioni/Lipari/Guida_Museo_ITA.pdfAlla fine del 1300 a .C . avviene nelle isole Eolie un altro radicale cambia-mento di cultura, attestato da un nuovo villaggio con capanne ovali che si sovrappongono a quelle distrutte dell’età precedente, e dalla ceramica rappresentata da vasi del sub-Appenninico.
Ad un Ausonio I si sostituisce un Ausonio II (1150-900 a .C .), che presenta elementi nuovi simili ad una nuova facies culturale, detta “protovillanoviana”
The complete abandonment of all Terramare towns (60 sites or so, some reaching more than 1,000 inhabitants) in Emilia during the 12th century bc due to a drought is also probably connected with these invasions from the North that took place at that time, all those people had to move somewhere, since their homeland in the Pinaura Padana had become uninhabitable.
Of course, the diffusion of the Protovillanovan culture/cremation basically represent the exodus of the Terramare people from the Po Plain..
Only to some extent. Terramare and proto-Villanovans weren't exactly the same people and neither the same culture.
Protovillanovans represent the mixture of Sub Appennine and Terramare from what i know
It represents the arrival of people of the Urnfield culture.
In the Bietti Sestieri book L'Italia nell'età del bronzo e del ferro : dalle palafitte a Romolo (2200-700 a.C.), 2010. she wrote that Terramare peoples from the Po Plain established themselves in Tuscany and the Marche where they formed the Chiusi-Cetona and Pianello di Genga Protovillanovan-facies, other founded Frattesina in Veneto...no mention of the Urnfield culture, except for the Canegrate culture in the North-West
but I'm open to all possibilities..
The widely separated pockets of Yamnaya settlement in the lower Danube
valley and the Balkans established speakers of late Proto-Indo-European di-
alects in scattered islands where, if they remained isolated from one another,
they could have differentiated over centuries into various Indo-European
languages. The many thousands of Yamnaya kurgans in eastern Hungary
suggest a more continuous occupation of the landscape by a larger population
of immigrants, one that could have acquired power and prestige partly just
through its numerical weight. This regional group could have spawned both
pre-Italic and pre-Celtic. Bell Beaker sites of the Csepel type around Buda-
pest, west of the Yamnaya settlement region, are dated about 2800-2600
BCE. They could have been a bridge between Yamnaya on their east and
Austria/Southern Germany to their west, through which Yamnaya dialects
spread from Hungary into Austria and Bavaria, where they later developed
into Proto-Celtic. 31 Pre-Italic could have developed among the dialects
that remained in Hungary, ultimately spreading into Italy through the
Urnfield and Villanovan cultures. Eric Hamp and others have revived the
argument that Italic and Celtic shared a common parent, so a single migra-
tion stream could have contained dialects that later were ancestral to both. 32
Archaeologically, however, the Yamnaya immigrants here, as elsewhere,
left no lasting material impression except their kurgans.
