Barbara del Mastro et al., « Vino per gli Opikoi: l’esempio delle tombe preelleniche di Cuma », HAL-SHS : archéologie, ID : 10.4000/books.pcjb.8230
This contribution presents data obtained from the synergy of different specialist fields, such as archaeology, anthropology, botany and biochemistry, to deepen our understanding of social aspects of the indigenous community buried in the pre-Hellenic necropolis of Cuma (Naples, Italy), excavated in 2006 by the Centre Jean B.rard USR 3133 (CNRS-EFR). Thanks to the ANR-MAGI programme it has been possible to identify and characterize, through biomolecular analysis, the organic residues of the impasto pottery in the funerary sets of four primary burials. Three burials belong to male individuals and one to a female, who lived in the Early Iron Age. The analysis of the contents carried out on ceramics from “closed contexts” has made it possible to recognize products of the vine, specifically wine, as the predominant substance. The data demonstrates the prevalence of forms suitable for liquid substances: “services for the consumption and handling of wine” have been recognized, mainly consisting of forms such as askoi, amphorae, ollas, biconical jugs and cups. The consumption of wine in Cumae’s indigenous funerary rituals, in a geographical border area, close to southern Latium populations, forces us to reconsider the role of Cumae in the cultural context of the Mediterranean and the Tyrrhenian Sea during the Iron Age.
