t is widely recognised that a phenomenon involving cultural contacts and the movement of small groups of people took place in the central Mediterranean around 23oo BC, at a time when important climate changes were happening all around the region. Seafarers, probably from the Peloponnesus and the Ionian Islands, reached Southern Italy, Sicily, and the small islands near Sicily. These small groups of people appear to have elected the Maltese and Aeolian archipelagos, as pref erable places to settle. In the following paper it is attempted to combine archaeo logical and archaeobotanical evidence from new research projects in both archipelagos, in order to correlate cultural dynamics and climaticenvironmental changes from a dia chronic perspective, encompassing the Early and Middle Bronze Age.
Demographic analyses in the studies of copper age human groups of center and southern Italy - Demographic analyses of funerary contexts in Prehistory can allow us to increase our knowledge about both the patterns of behaviour as regards the access of individuals to tombs and proportion between the buried individuals and whole community of livings. Authors deal with a reconsideration of some Copper Age cemeteries in central and southern Italy, where the anthropological data and the 14C dates allow such kind of study.
Authors discuss the subject of relationships among Central and Southern Italy, Sicily and the area including Aegean and Balkans. On the light of the most recent research some new hypotheses about the connection during the Copper Age are pointed out, also taking in account the Maltese Archipelago. Since the regions that were in contact changed throughout the time and data remain lacking, it is still difficult to have a complete framework of these interactions. We have to find out the reasons of establishing connections, the mechanisms of interaction and the way cultural models circulated among the Eastern and Central Mediterranean.
