The Weekend Archeologist
 Who
has not wished to be an archeologist at least once in their life?
This science has always caused incredible passions and strong curiosity.
For this reason we are proposing this enlightening and fun experience
in a mini tour around the places and customs of the mysterious and
fascinating Etruscan civilzation.
The objectives are to bring the participants close to archeology
through the study and learning of the systems of stratigraphic excavation,
to develop an historic sense and the understanding of the continuity
of past cultures with contemporary ones. Scientific methods of study
of a particular site or "typical stratigrafic situation"
will be reconstructed. During the program the following will be
used: reproductions of ceramics, bronze, architectural terracotte,
besides regular archeological instruments that will help the neophyte
analyze and participate directly in the process of historic reconstruction
such as the use of matrix (with exercises for understanding and
use) the use of triangulation in the sample site as well as the
compilation of the US which are necessary for the documentation
of the stratified units.
