Abstract
The communication summarizes a wider archeological and topographic research focused on the Roman Villa of Aiano-Torraccia di Chiusi, which is located in the Elsa Valley under-regional context. This research is a relevant part of the project “VII REGIO. Elsa Valley during the Roman Age and late Antiquity”. The project’s aim is to plan and organize the archeological excavations in the Elsa Valley area and the consequent study of the region as a junction of cultural exchanges in Tuscany - middle area. These cultural exchanges have left relevant traces, especially when groups of people permanently occupied the territory; more in details the communication will be focused on the different kind of occupations in Elsa Valley during the late Roman Age and the way they have been transforming in the early Middle Age; every assumption will be in close relation with the results of the archaeological excavations around the Villa of Aiano-Torraccia di Chiusi archeological site. Due to the permanent occupation by a number of populations from the III Century A.D. till the end of the VII Century A.D., the archaeological site will allow us to analyze a “process in progress”; which can be used such as a diachronic tool to continue in this way the research of this specific area: the Elsa Valley.
