Archaeological Sciences

The singular layer of ash and lapilli caused by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD destroyed many cities such as Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabia allowing their extraordinary conservation. The discovery of these sites and the recent excavations which have contributed to the new knowledge about this region will be the basis of the course. In particular, the investigation on public and private contexts in Pompeii has become one of the main topics in the scientific debate about the vesuvian site. Students attending this class will pursue a complete analysis of some monuments from archaeological data to reconstruction hypothesis, in relation to the town’s development. Students will also understand the latest news about one of the most required urban centres for archaeology scholars in the world.

For the didactic activities foreseen by this course, no particular requirement is needed except those acquired during the study programme in Archaeological Sciences of the three-year Bachelor degree (or equivalent).
