L'architettura in blocchi lapidei di Selinunte: l'incasso orizzontale nei blocchi del Muro D degli scavi Gabrici

[Machine translation] The contribution focuses on the particular construction technique of the northern wall of building D, brought to light by Ettore Gabrici's excavations on the acropolis of Selinunte. In this wall, reused after 409 BC by Hellenistic houses, the highest row is represented by only three blocks that have a horizontal recess at the bottom, interrupted at the commissures between the individual blocks by protective cushions. It is remembered how this backward band, functional to the installation of the blocks, also becomes a chronological indicator in Selinunte, indicating for the blocks in question a date between 460-450 and 409 BC. Their installation coincides with a redefinition of the space in front of the entrance from the east of Oikos A.
