Abstract
Vacone is an archaeological villa site in central Italy from the Late Roman Republic and Early Roman Empire. It was inhabited from roughly the first century BCE through the second century CE. Joint excavations between the Rutgers Field School and the Italian government began there in 2012. Two important functions of a villa were the production of wine and of olive oil by means of stone presses. The villa at Vacone is unusual in having two presses, which represent a significant investment of capital and a high productive capacity at the site. Evidence such as a cocciopesto treading floor, plaster-lined sedimentation vats, and torcular press rims suggest that the presses were used first for oil, then converted to wine presses at a later date. These conclusions may be able to direct further fieldwork at the site by means of site reconstruction through comparison with similar central Italian villas.
