In this work published and unpublished data are presented on the findings in the territory between the river Gela, to the East, the river Dirillo, to the West, and the municipality of Niscemi to the North, in southern Sicily. The area appears more populated than previously thought, even since the Middle Neolithic, but there is no evidence from the Late Bronze Age, with one exception, until the arrival of the Greeks. From the data discussed it is possible to formulate some preliminary considerations on the distribution and systems of diachronic settlement, also in relation to the geographical characteristics and the resources of the territory.

This paper aims to offer a summary of the archaeological data coming from southern Apulia and referring to population dynamics in the Roman age. Through the investigation of the long period going from the Roman conquest in the third century B.C. up to the late imperial age, we analyse the changes in settlement system in relation to the historical framework and to socio-political, administrative and economic structures. We also propose some observations about the presence of the best known categories of artefacts, mainly examining the aspects of production and circulation of the pottery classes.
