Nuragic Sacred Well of Santa Cristina in Sardinia - From the 3D Survey Analysis to Labour Investment
(IEEE, 2015) Vico, Lola; Hermon, Sorin; Gabriele Guidi and Roberto Scopigno and Fabio Remondino
This paper relates an ongoing research carrying out at the Cyprus Institute -STARC, focusing on the mobilization of labour required for Santa Cristina sacred well construction, during the Bronze Age period of The Nuragic Bronze Age in Sardinia on the basis on the 3D survey analysis. It adopts a framework for systematically calculating the process and the labour cost of construction, using such cost to deduce relative differences in political control among groups and communities through labour control. The labour cost will be use also for suggest specific systems of recruitment that may have been in place for mobilizing workers, and to argue that sacred well construction would not have been particularly burdensome or demanding for local population.
