Amicone S., Croce E., Castellano L., Vezzoli G. (2020), Building Forcello. Etruscan wattle and daub technique in the Po Plain (Bagnolo San Vito‐Mantua, northern Italy), Archaeometry, https://doi.org/10.1111/arcm.12535.Abstract This paper aims to analyse through an interdisciplinary approach the  wattle and daub building technique used on the Po Plain (northern  Italy), focusing on the archaeological evidence from the Etruscan site  of Forcello near Bagnolo San Vito (Mantua; Italy; 540‐375 BC). Wattle  and daub is widespread across different times and periods and  particularly common in regions, such as the Po plain, in which stone  sources for construction are not immediately available. Thanks to a  combined archaeometric, geological, and anthracological study, we  provide here new insights on a 5th century BCE building structure from  the Forcello site. Our findings revealed information on the life history  of this feature, including its construction, maintenance and final  destruction. Our research sheds new light on the wattle and daub  technique and on the interaction between people and the Po Plain  Etruscan palaeoenvironment.
