Summary:

Trinacria, the ancient name for Sicily extending back to Homeric Greek, has understandably been the focus of decades of archaeological research. Recognising Sicily's rich prehistory and pivotal role in the history of the Mediterranean, Sebastiano Tusa promoted the exploration of the island's heritage through international collaboration. His decades of fostering research initiatives not only produced rich archaeological results spanning the Palaeolithic to the modern era but brought scholars from a range of schools and disciplines to work together in Sicily. Through his efforts, uniquely productive methodological, theoretical and interpretative networks were created. Their impact extends far beyond Sicily and Italy. The aim of this book is to present a selection of the work of and results from contemporary, multi-national research projects in Sicily.
