Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to a Bronze Age period and culture that supplanted existing cultures on the Aeolian islands from around 1250 BCE. It is apparently of Apennine origin and is characterized by a new type of dwelling, generally of wood on stone, with an oval or square foundation. It has much in common with the contemporary Morgetian culture in Sicily.
