Archaeological Sciences

Visualizing the Past through Experimental Archaeology The course aims to provide students with the tools to approach the dissemination of archaeological data through the development of visual narratives that document and comment on experimental archaeology projects designed by the students themselves. Archaeological evidence often consists of fragments of objects or remains of structures that are difficult for non-specialists to interpret. The reconstruction of these remains is crucial for enhancing their accessibility and understanding by a broader audience. Experimental archaeology, especially in its educational dimension, allows for the replication of both tangible and intangible aspects of the past, making it a powerful tool for both research and the dissemination of historical knowledge. The course is designed to offer students the theoretical framework necessary to develop a scientifically grounded experimental protocol. Each experimental protocol will be inspired by artifacts or materials on display in a specific museum. The documentation of these protocols will be developed in the form of videos, which will be presented to the public—both within the museum setting and through social media—to make the experimental materials more comprehensible and engaging.
