Strutture produttive e trasformazione degli spazi: il caso di Paestum e Velia

A research project by the University of Naples Federico II, started in the 2014, focuses on the problems about the Archaeology of Production. Among many case studies, in Italy and abroad, Elea-Velia and the sanctuary of Hera at the mouth of the Sele River in the territory of Poseidonia-Paestum provide interesting elements, both for the analysis of ‘products’ and for ‘indicators for production’. This paper analyzes the relationship between the production structures and the transformations of the city and its monumental evidences, particularly the sacred ones, of these two important sites of Magna Graecia.
