Summary

A critical reassessment of Pantalica, a UNESCO World Heritage Site near Syracuse, Sicily, challenges traditional mythologized narratives by grounding its historical reconstruction in archaeological data and scientific research. The study, conducted over three years through field surveys, material analysis at the Paolo Orsi Regional Archaeological Museum, and archaeometric techniques, reveals a stratified landscape of human occupation spanning from prehistory (1250–750 BC) to the Greek period and Middle Ages. Key findings include the site's complex topographical features and regional connections, explored under the CHANGES project's theme of 'extra-urban stratified landscapes.' The research also emphasizes the potential of digital communication for heritage dissemination, offering a robust interdisciplinary framework for understanding Pantalica's significance.
