Dal Gargano ai Monti Dauni: analisi archeologica del tessuto urbano di due centri medievali (Vico del Gargano e Pietramontecorvino). Primi dati e prospettive di ricerca

From the Gargano to the the Daunian Mountains: archaeological analysis of the urban network of two medieval settlements (Vico del Gargano and Pietramontecorvino). First data and research perspectives The paper illustrates the results of a preliminary archaeological research on the defensive architecture of two towns in northern Apulia (Vico del Gargano and Pietramontecorvino). Here the remains of historical buildings have undergone various vicissitudes, and heed therefore different cognitive potential, which have pointed the adoption of specific modes of study and research applications. The results, even with reading difficulties, are encouraging and offer interesting suggestions to delineate the dynamics of the birth and development of the fortified settlements (from single towers, their duplication, the formation of circuits walls of the villages), to read in an integrated manner with other realities of the territory investigated by stratigraphic excavations and archaeological analysis of the architectures
