Santa Maria d'Anglona. (Com. Tursi, Prov. Matera) . Scavi nell'anno 1967.
(Roma, 1969) stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 171/197 con 40 figure. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

Il tracollo culturale. La conquista romana del Mediterraneo (146-145 a.C.)
8vo, br. ed. pp.288. Il biennio 146-145 a.C. costituisce uno spartiacque in genere non considerato della storia del mondo mediterraneo: in quegli anni Roma si impadronì di fatto di tutto il Mediterraneo, distruggendo Cartagine, sottomettendo la Grecia e riducendo Egitto e Siria a stati fantoccio alle sue dipendenze. L’espansione del potere di Roma si accompagnò a un grave regresso culturale, finora largamente ignorato, che viene qui illustrato nei suoi vari aspetti: il crollo della scienza, la fine delle ricerche filosofiche e linguistiche, la profonda trasformazione della tecnologia, che recise ogni legame con la scienza e la cultura scritta, e la drastica riduzione delle conoscenze geografiche. Il volume mostra come quel tracollo e l’oblio che lo ha avvolto abbiano fortemente condizionato tutta la successiva cultura occidentale fino a oggi.

L'America dimenticata. I rapporti tra le civiltà e un errore di Tolomeo
8vo,. br. ed. pp.296 bLa quasi totalità degli studiosi ha finora negato l'esistenza di antichi contatti tra l'America e il Vecchio Mondo, ma in questo libro, indagando su una questione apparentemente secondaria di storia della geografia (l'origine di un grossolano errore di Tolomeo), si dimostra che le fonti ellenistiche dell'antico geografo conoscevano latitudini e longitudini di località dell'America centrale. Questa scoperta costringe a rivedere sotto una nuova luce molti aspetti della storia. Da una parte mostra come il crollo delle conoscenze che investì il mondo mediterraneo all'atto della conquista romana sia stato ben più profondo di quanto in genere si creda. Dall'altra apre nuovi possibili scenari di lungo periodo, lasciando intravedere la possibilità di sostituire all'idea oggi dominante dell'evoluzione indipendente e parallela delle civiltà un'unica storia, connessa sin dalla remota antichità. Con nuova postfazione di "Obiezioni e risposte" alle reazioni suscitate dalla prima edizione del volume.
