Occupied from around 5600 BC, the lakeshore settlement[aut]Settlement of La MarmottaLa Marmotta at Lake[aut]Lake Bracciano (Anguillara SabaziaAnguillara Sabazia, RomeRome, ItalyItaly) counts as one of the earliest permanently occupied wetland settlements[aut]Settlement in southern Europe. The first settlers were a Neolithic group, pursuing crop cultivation and stock breeding. The archaeological site with its fascinating spectrum of finds is not only of great interest per se but also plays a key role in the understanding of the supra-regional spread of the Neolithic along the northern Mediterranean coast[aut]Coast, coastal. Thus, the settlement[aut]Settlement seems to have been a kind of gateway from which the western Mediterranean region, and possibly also the western Alpine region, would have received essential inputs, especially in terms of agricultural resources and practices. The pending evaluation of the extensive underwater excavations between 1992 and 2006 currently only allows for a provisional and relatively diffuse knowledge of the site. In the present chapter, the site chronology[aut]Chronology, selected aspects of the settlers’ way of life, in particular concerning[aut]Arable farmingagriculture agriculture[aut]Agriculture but also navigation, as well as the site’s potential role in the Neolithisation[aut]Neolithisation of the western Mediterranean are dealt with in detail.
