Field Workshop - The knappable resources of southern Tuscany

The Field Workshop " The knappable resources of southern Tuscany" was organized as part of the OpenLit project and was held from 30th to 31st May in:

Grosseto University Campus (Le Clarisse, Via Vinzaglio 27, Grosseto)

Uccellina Park (Alberese -Grosseto)

La Pietra Natural Reserve (Roccastrada - Grosseto)

Basso Merse Natural Reserve (Monticiano - Siena)

The activities were organized by the University of Florence and the University of Bari - Aldo Moro, in collaboration with the University of Rome "La Sapienza", the University of Siena and the Museo e Istituto Fiorentino di Preistoria “Paolo Graziosi”

The interventions focused on issues strongly connected to the Openlit purposes from both a geological and archaeological point of view. Visits to places and crucial sites were important to understand the geological formations also in connection with archaeological sites, with consequent sampling and geolocation on maps. This will allow to enter the information obtained in the open access Openlit lithotheque.

We would like to thank Grosseto University Campus, Uccellina Park and the Natural Reserves of La Pietra and Basso Merse for the hospitality and the cooperation.
