Cencelle is a town in central Italy, in Northen Latium, founded around the middle of the 9th century A.C. by pope Leo IV. Since 1994, the University of Rome Sapienza has been carrying out archaeological excavations in the site. On the site there was an Etruscan oppidum, then a Roman rural center, then the early medieval city. In Cencelle is possible to understand the urban planning choices of an early medieval urban foundation, a very rare thing in the Mediterranean archeological world. In addition, the communal phase was excavated; it is an important opportunity to know the reality of a center of the Middle Ages from an archaeological point of view. Interdisciplinary studies on the archaeological data and on the anthropological data of over 900 burials, and on the landscape allow to reconstruct the social history of the city, as a model of development of a medieval center. Historical and documentary sources, archaeological data, anthropological studies, landscape analysis, all contribute to the reconstruction of an urban center active between the mid-ninth and mid-fifteenth centuries.
