Giulia RAIMONDI

Giulia Raimondi is an archaeologist and researcher specializing in the study of the cultural landscapes of the ancient Mediterranean, with particular attention to the relationships between environment, cult practices, territorial organization, and the construction of cultural identities. Her scholarly work is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach that integrates archaeology, historical geography, the history of religions, landscape analysis, and the study of material culture, with the aim of reconstructing the long-term dynamics of interaction between human communities and their natural and cultural environments.

She obtained her PhD in Sciences for Cultural Heritage and Cultural Production from the University of Catania with a dissertation devoted to the sanctuaries of the Nymphs and the water landscapes of ancient Sicily. Her academic training developed within an international framework through a Double Master's programme with the University of Warsaw and periods of study and research at the Freie Universität Berlin and the Berlin Graduate School of Ancient Studies. These experiences contributed significantly to broadening her methodological and comparative perspectives within Mediterranean studies.

Her principal research interests include the archaeology of water and sacred landscapes, the archaeology of religion and ritual practices, the cults of the Nymphs, processes of spatial sacralization, and the relationships between memory, myth, and territory. These themes are complemented by studies on settlement systems, territorial dynamics, ancient road networks, mobility and communication networks, fortified landscapes, and strategies of spatial control from protohistory to the Classical and Roman periods. A further area of interest concerns processes of cultural contact and interaction across the Mediterranean, with particular attention to the connections between Sicily, Greece, the Adriatic and Balkan regions, Egypt, and the Near East.

Her research also encompasses the study of material culture, ceramics, iconography, and craft production in the ancient world, as well as investigations into funerary contexts, practices of memory, and the construction of local identities. In parallel, she works on issues related to cultural heritage and historical landscapes, examining the role of archaeological and cultural resources in territorial enhancement and sustainable development processes.

A significant component of her research activity concerns the application of archaeological documentation technologies and methodologies to both landscape studies and artefact analysis. Through extensive fieldwork experience, she has developed expertise in archaeological survey, topographic documentation, excavation data management and organization, spatial analysis, database design and management, and the digital recording of archaeological materials. These skills have been applied within numerous national and international research projects, in which she has held positions of responsibility for finds management, archaeological documentation, and the coordination of survey and excavation activities.

She has participated in numerous archaeological research projects and field campaigns in Italy and abroad, working at sites of major scientific importance including Agrigento, Pompeii, Ostia, Gortyn, Motya, Kom Wasit in Egypt, and the international F.L.E.A. Project (Fortified Landscape in Eastern Albania). She is the author of monographs, edited volumes, and numerous scholarly contributions published in national and international journals and collective works, and she actively serves on the editorial boards of academic series and journals dedicated to archaeology, history, and cultural heritage.

Overall, her research is situated within the broader fields of cultural heritage and historical landscape studies, promoting an integrated understanding of the relationships between environment, society, and symbolic systems, and contributing to the study of the processes of cultural transformation that have shaped the Mediterranean from protohistoric times to the contemporary era.

Research Profile

Research activities in the field of Mediterranean archaeology focus on the study of the relationships between landscape, cult practices, territorial organization, and the construction of cultural identities. The methodological approach is interdisciplinary, integrating archaeological evidence, literary sources, historical geography, the history of religions, and landscape analysis, with particular attention to the processes of interaction between human communities and their environment.

One of the main research areas concerns the archaeology of water and sacred landscapes, with a particular focus on ancient Sicily and the central Mediterranean. These studies examine the role of springs, rivers, lakes, wetlands, and caves as structuring elements of religious landscapes, exploring processes of spatial sacralization, forms of worship associated with water resources, and their long-term development. Within this framework, special attention is devoted to the cults of the Nymphs, phenomena of ritual continuity, and the relationships between memory, myth, and territory. A further area of investigation concerns the archaeology of religion and ritual practices in the ancient world. Research addresses sanctuaries, religious manifestations, and forms of devotion attested in Greece, Magna Graecia, and Sicily, with the aim of understanding the role of cultic phenomena in the construction of local identities and processes of cultural integration. Particular emphasis is placed on female cults, water-related ritual practices, votive traditions, and the interactions between the religious traditions of the eastern and western Mediterranean. Another significant field of research focuses on archaeological landscapes and settlement dynamics through the analysis of mobility networks, territorial infrastructures, defensive systems, and strategies of spatial control. These studies adopt a long-term perspective, spanning from prehistory and protohistory to the Roman period, with particular attention to Sicily, Greece, the Adriatic region, and the Balkans. Within this context, research explores ancient communication routes, fortified landscapes, and the relationships between natural environments and settlement organization. Additional research interests concern the relationships between cultural heritage, territory, and the enhancement of historical and archaeological resources. These studies investigate the ways in which tangible and intangible heritage contribute to the construction of territorial identities and sustainable development processes, with particular attention to cultural routes, the protection of historic landscapes, and historical geography.

Research activities also include studies on the material culture of the ancient world, iconography, and craft production, as well as investigations into funerary contexts, practices of memory, and phenomena of cultural interaction across the Mediterranean. Particular attention is devoted to the circulation of models, ideas, and traditions between Sicily, Egypt, the Near East, Greece, and the Adriatic region, with the aim of reconstructing the networks of connectivity that characterized the ancient world. Taken together, these research activities contribute to the broader fields of cultural heritage and historical landscape studies, promoting an integrated understanding of the relationships between environment, society, and symbolic systems, and enhancing our knowledge of the cultural transformations that shaped the Mediterranean from protohistoric times to the modern era.
