Summary
- The territory between the Basento and Cavone rivers in the municipalities of Ferrandina and Pisticci was systematically investigated in September and October of the years 2006 – 2009. The aim was to examine settlement patterns in a marginal area beyond the territory of Metaponto (chora), and compare these to the territorial organization of the chora of Metaponto.

- Field walkers were spaced 5 meters apart (occasionally 10 meters) and surveyed in parallel lines each survey unit. Visibility conditions were recorded and those units characterized by unsuitable visibility and/or geomorphological conditions were unsystematically surveyed. Survey units were mapped on 1: 10,000 maps and described using standardized unit forms. The concentrations of archaeological fragments (surface scatters) or other archaeological remains (standing monuments/ruins) identified while walking the survey units were described using standardized site forms.
