The present volume focuses on the circumstances around the inner part of the Basilicata region during the first millennium B. C. It pays particular attention to the area known as North Lucania which is the Apennine zone surrounding Potenza. This area has recently re-emerged to prominence due to important archaeological discoveries such as the princely tombs at Braida di Vaglio and Baragiano, and the chieftains’ houses at Torre di Satriano. A broader research along with the systematic fluid of publications, have made this territory better known than others in the region. The aforementioned research and publications have been produced thanks to brilliant work of the Archaeological Superintendence which has attained a high level of efficiency due in large part of the pioneering commitment of Dinu Adamesteanu and his staff, and years of a close relationship with the University of Basilicata. Such a tight rapport of University-Superintendence has produced the “Torre di Satriano Project, which has given back to the scientific community a true role-model, shedding light on the social and settlement phenomena, ritual dynamics and manifestations of power of the italic cultures of south Italy. The research on this area, the results of which are presented in this volume, are the results of years of commitment by numerous collaborators and students. The archaeological investigations at Torre di Satriano, directed by the undersigned, were coordinated by Maria Maddalena Sica (2000-2003), Lucia Colangelo (2004-2008) and Barbara Serio (2009-2014); the surface survey was carried out by Barbara Serio and Marco Di Lieto (2004-2008). Marco Fabbri (for the Roman Age) and Francesca Sogliani (for the Medieval Age) took part in the scientific research and the planning of the investigation strategies. The excavations were granted by and benefited from the support of the following Superintendents over the years: Maria Luisa Nava (2000-2006), Giuliana Tocco (2006-2007), the author (2007-2008), Caterina Greco (2008-2009), and Antonio del Siena (2010-2014). I would like to thank all of them, and all those who have taken part in the research, the result of a true synergy between the University and the Superintendency.
