Contesto geologico e caratteri stratigrafici interni del rilievo urbano di San Giovanni in Monte.

The stratigraphic logs of five corings – 10 to 30 m long – are described in the present article. The aim of this analysis is to better understand the inner structure of a small artificial hill existing in the city of Bologna. The hill was created during the Roman age, between the 1st century BC and the 5th century AD, but some evidence indicates that part of the mound could predate the Roman period. Up to now, no convincing explana­tion about the origin and use of such a peculiar urban relief has been offered. Its inner structure may recall the prehistoric burial mounds techniques, rather than the more regular Roman age ones. The stratigraphic outline of the Holocene sedimentary sequence lying beneath the mound highlights a severe tectonic (?) deformation of the natural buried soils, as well as the Roman age buried topographic surface. The age of the deformation cannot be defined with certainty yet. Additional information concerning ancient archaeoseismic events around the city of Bologna is also presented. -Parole chiave Earthwork d’età romana; Geoarcheologia; suoli olocenici; Deformazione tettonica; Bologna; Archeosismicità. -Altre info utili per collocazione Dal punto di vista geoarcheologico si sottolinea la possibilità che parte del rilievo sia databile ad età preromana. Dal punto di vista geologico ss si evidenzia per la prima volta la possibile esistenza di una deformazione sepolta a circa 4 m di profondità entro l’ambito urbano della città di Bologna avente forse età tardo olocenica. Si segnalano necessità e convenienza di ulteriori approfondimenti analitici per definirne la corretta interpretazione ed importanza per la città, on-line available at: -ISI: NO -SCOPUS: NO -Pubmed: -Copyright: 2016 Ante Quem S.r.l. -Allegati: -URL: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Contributo in volume RIVISTA -Formato cartaceo -Autori Capaccioni B., Coltorti M., Todesco M., Cremonini S. , Di Giuseppe D., Faccini B., Tessari U. -Titolo contributo Sand volcano generated by a violent degassing from methane-saturated aquifers: the case study of Medolla (Modena, Italy). -Anno 2017 -Lingua Inglese -Coautori Stranieri NO -Sede Edit di Eccellenza sì -Editore Elsevier -Titolo Collana Engineering Geology -ISBN -ISSN: 0013-7952 . -DOI: The stratigraphic logs of five corings – 10 to 30 m long – are described in the present article.
