ETRUSCOLOGY AND ITALIC ARCHAEOLOGY - II

It is a characterizing teaching for the course "Preservation and Management of Cultural Heritage" and aims to furnish basic methodology for the analysis and interpretation of Italic archaeological evidences of the first millenium BC. Goals of the course are: develop personal reflections about birth and growth of the Etruscan civilization and give the methodological instruments to analize italic archaeological context even whithin a good comparinson one to each other.
We pay particular attention at the relationship between landscape and cultural and social development with regard to material culture.
We mostly will study the development of different types of houses in Veneto and in Etruria Padana.

General issues are faced for the framing of the Villanovan and Etruscan civilization, with particular reference to the development of settlements and cities.
The buildings found in the contexts of Veneto and Etruria Padana are analyzed to illustrate the transformation from the hut to the house and to more complex buildings in the context of urban development between the eleventh and fifth-fourth centuries BC and until the Romanization.
Comparative contexts are illustrated to analyze similarities and differences in relation to social development.
