The paper discusses results from recent archaeological investigations carried out along the eastern river bank of present-day Natissa River (ancient Natiso cum Turro) at Aquileia. Archaeological data are combined with a systematic re-examination of archive information in order to outline different research priorities and methodological approaches undertaken trough time. The final aim is to reconstruct the dialectic relationships between man and river in the Roman and Late Antique period, with a special focus on the eastern shore, often neglected in modern scientific literature. At this regard, interesting fresh evidence comes from an interdisciplinary research project undertaken since 2010 in “former Sandrigo estate” by the Department of Humanities of the University of Venice Ca’ Foscari, in collaboration with the Archaeological Superintendency of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Preliminary results allow us to put forward some hypothesis on the interaction between the river dynamism, modes and patterns of human occupation in the adjacent areas and riverside.

Abstract

The paper discusses results from recent archaeological investigations carried out along the eastern river bank of present-day Natissa River (ancient Natiso cum Turro) at Aquileia. Archaeological data are combined with a systematic re-examination of archive information in order to outline different research priorities and methodological approaches undertaken trough time. The final aim is to reconstruct the dialectic relationships between man and river in the Roman and Late Antique period, with a special focus on the eastern shore, often neglected in modern scientific literature. At this regard, interesting fresh evidence comes from an interdisciplinary research project undertaken since 2010 in “former Sandrigo estate” by the Department of Humanities of the University of Venice Ca’ Foscari, in collaboration with the Archaeological Superintendency of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Preliminary results allow us to put forward some hypothesis on the interaction between the river dynamism, modes and patterns of human occupation in the adjacent areas and riverside.
