摘要：The Department of Modern Languages and Classics invites applications for its archaeological field school in theBasentello Valley in the historic regions of Puglia and Basilicata (south central Italy; the 'instep' of the boot). Studentswill participate in an ongoing archaeological research project which involves the excavation of a Roman imperialestate in southern Italy (including a small village and a Roman cemetery) as well as regional field survey of a 200square km area in the territories of Genzano di Lucania, Banzi, and Irsina. The goal of our research is to examine thesettlement patterns of this territory, with special emphasis on the transitions from the Hellenistic to the Roman period,and from the Imperial to the Late Antique period. We are also examining cultural interaction between the pre-Romanindigenous population of the region and the Romans who arrive in the area as colonists and landowners during thefirst century BC.
