Ground-truthing the Neolithic enclosure of Masseria Rizza. Between Foggia and Lucera. Puglia, Italy. Between 2003 and 2013, the UCL Institute of Archaeology Tavoliere-Gargano Prehistory Project visited the sites of 180-odd Neolithic ditched enclosures (villaggi trincerati), the majority identified from cropmarks visible in photos in the John Bradford Archive of Aerial photographs. The objectives of these visits were to ground-truth the cropmarks—confirm that they were indeed Neolithic sites—and to characterize the sites phenomenologically. "Neolithic Spaces", a two volume report generated by our work, was published in December 2020. This photograph appears in both volumes.
