FfFfFfFF 58,369 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 How should we relate to the traditional historiography on ancient Sicily? The prevailing view has been that the indigenous population had neither territory, power nor economic resources. But with the aid of interdisciplinary methods, a new thesis shows that trade was a big part of the economy for the inhabitants of the settlement of Monte Polizzo. Cecilia Sandström has used interdisciplinary methods in her study. In addition to the archaeological material, which clearly shows trade contacts with the various peoples of the Mediterranean, she used palynological, macrobotanical and geomorphological analyses of the neighbouring landscape, and charted the conditions for trade at the site. A further important factor was her investigation of whether the rivers were navigable and could be used as transport routes. “The inhabitants of Monte Polizzo were themselves active traders,” says Cecilia Sandström. “The indigenous population should not be viewed as a homogeneous group but as independent actors with their own agendas, tastes and preferences.” Source - https://www.heritagedaily.com/2021/09/the-indigenous-population-of-ancient-sicily-were-active-traders/141523 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read many times that her "ancestors" are from Sicily - and that part of her family still lives there but that she doesn't really know them. I remember her saying so herself in an interview. I also got "family" that I don't know personally in Australia. Gaga has personal ties to Italy and its Sicilian origins. https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/lady-gaga-house-of-gucci-wraps-filming-italy-tweet THEY CALL ME LADY MOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's what I remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
