Thanks to a partnership with NASA, ICA was able to use remote sensing to map out much of the area, including the nearby necropolis. The report details ICA's first year of use of the new remote sensing technology and its significance for future excavation.Item The Chora of Chersonesos on the Black Sea and Metaponto in Southern Italy, 1996.(Institute of Classical Archaeology, 1996) Carter, Joseph ColemanThe 1996 annual report details the excavation of a Greek farmhouse at Chersonesos and explains the plans for its continued preservation.

The scope of this project is to explore the countryside around the ancient city and to establish the habitation pattern and the social and economic relations between the urban and the rural communities. The report describes the excavation of various settlements at Metaponto (for example, a 4th - 3rd century farmhouse at S. Angelo Vecchio, pottery deposits on a hilltop at S. Angelo Vecchio, and 5th century BC tombs, with stone sarcophagi, well-preserved skeletons and impressive tomb gifts). It also describes the excavation of four small kilns related to a tile factory; misfired plaques and terracotta molds were found near the kilns and provide information about industrial production of ceramics in this area.Item Excavation in the Territory of Metaponto, 1975(University of Texas at Austin, 1975) Institute of Classical ArchaeologyThe report provides information about excavations carried out by the Institute of Classical Archaeology of the University of Texas at Austin in the territory of Metaponto. After the excavation of the city, the archaeological team began the excavation of the territory to add to the picture of the life of a Greek colonist. The report describes the excavation of a hilltop site, where several important features were discovered (for example, a 4th-3rd century cemetery, a late Republican tile factory, a long ancient cut, pottery deposits and clay pits). The report describes also the excavation of a 4th-century canal at the hilltop site, several tombs and a 6th century BC sanctuary building with an enormous quantity of pottery.Item Excavation in the Territory of Metaponto, 1974(University of Texas at Austin, 1974) Institute of Classical ArchaeologyThis report provides information about excavations carried out by the Institute of Classical Archaeology in the territory of Metaponto. The main aim of the excavations is to study the special archaeological and historical problem of the relationship between a Greek city and its territory. The site of Metaponto is an important source of information about city planning, the organization of the territory, the countryside around the city and the life of its inhabitants. The report describes the excavation of Neolithic hut and Greek tombs (for example, a 4th century BC tomb) at Pizzica near Metaponto, where many things were discovered (among them fragments of red-figured pottery, black glazed pottery of the 4th century BC etc); and the excavations of Greek and Roman farmhouses, sanctuaries and other rural settlements.Item Excavation in the territory of Metaponto, 1976(University of Texas at Austin, 1976) Institute of Classical ArchaeologyThis annual report is about excavations in the territory of Metaponto carried out by the Institute of Classical Archaeology of the University of Texas at Austin. The main aim of these excavations was to learn more about the rural population, in the period when Greek and Roman civilization transformed the area (600 BC - 400 AD). The report describes the excavation of a rural Greek cemetery including a family plot and the tomb of a young athlete; the excavation of an archaic Greek rural sanctuary; and the excavation of a Roman tile factory.Item Excavation in the territory, Metaponto, 1980(University of Texas at Austin, 1980) Institute of Classical ArchaeologyThis annual report provides information about excavations in the territory of Metaponto that were carried out by the Institute of Classical Archaeology of the University of Texas at Austin.

The report discusses geology and settlement patterns in the territory of Metaponto, summarizes some ancient faunal and botanical evidence, and describes the excavations of various rural sites at Metaponto, including a 6th-4th century BC necropolis and tile-production center at Sant'Angelo Vecchio, a Roman tile factory and ceramic dump at Pantanello, at 4th-century BC farmhouse at Ponte Fabrizio (later designated "Fattoria Fabrizio"), and a Late Roman farmhouse of the 4th-6th centuries AD at San Biagio.
