Archaeology

For men and gods. Productions in the context of settlements, sanctuaries, and necropolises. The course will focus on the craft productions that characterized the historical development of the cities of Etruria, from ceramics to stone sculpture, from bronze work to minor arts, from architectural to votive terracottas. The focus will be on the contexts in which the objects were found and the relationship with the different clients and destinations of the products. Various case studies will be examined in their complexity, including the relationship between immigrant and native artisans and local elites. The lessons will be held in the lecture hall of the Museum of Etruscan and Italic Antiquities, allowing for direct contact with the materials covered in the course. The first module (30 hours) will focus on a general presentation of the issue and the formative phases up to the Orientalizing period; the second module (30 hours) will extend the analysis to the age of Romanization. The course will be accompanied by seminars (12 hours) that will involve students more directly with specific in-depth studies. Classroom lessons will be supplemented by educational visits to archaeological sites and museums (12 hours). Participation in the visit to the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia is required in order to take the exam. Given the content of the course, attendance is strongly recommended. The course is linked to a series of other educational activities useful for the acquisition of knowledge.
