Tuscania Archaeology Field School

ANT 315-316 T / CLA 315-316 T / HIS 315-316 T




Lorenzo de' Medici will run a four week intensive Archaeology Field School under the professional supervision of the University of Florence. The principle goal of this program is to provide participants with an opportunity to learn and work in a real excavation environment while gaining an understanding of ancient Etruscan culture and archaeological methods. In previous sessions of the Field School participants have uncovered some exceptional and important archaeological finds.

At the schoolıs campus in Tuscania and on selected field trips students will explore major features of Etruscan culture and the methodologies utilized in classical archaeology. Participants will play a full role in the excavation of the Etruscan necropolis burial site) near Tuscania, currently in phase four of its exploration. By examining material evidence, so abundant in this region, participants will be given the opportunity to learn about the lives of the ancient Etruscans from archaeological evidence and literary sources.

Whether you are a current archaeology or anthropology student or simply someone interested in learning more about the subject, this program will provide an exciting and unique opportunity for a firsthand look at archaeological fieldwork.

Applicants should contact LdM Austin for further details about the program and how to apply. We will accept a maximum of 15 students and a minimum of 5, with preference given to early applicants.
