And with that, the 2024 season at Falerii Novi is done! 👏🎉
It’s been an incredible month with some of our best material yet – all thanks to the hard work of our students, supervisors, specialists and directors! Much more soon on some fantastic new finds 🏛️
Collaboration between the Falerii Novi Project and the Yale. Peabody Program in Ancient Pharmacology! peabody.yale.edu/news/yapp_i…
Today we welcomed the local community to hear about this year’s #excavation season and some preliminary results from each of the project directors and supervisors, including a tour of the macellum!
Spotlight on tech! 📡 We use #aerial #imagery to create orthophotos, crucial for understanding #excavation features & areas within Falerii Novi’s urban landscape. Digital GPS and GIS precisely document special find locations and monitor context changes on-site 📍
Spotlight on FNP #environmental #archaeology 🌿🌰
Enviro sampling is a key aspect of the project! Flotation is used to separate light organic materials like seeds from heavier residues, which are sorted to identify archaeological materials related to landscape & foodways 🔎
Successful end to week 1 with trench tours! 🙏🏺 #Excavation in Area 1 revealing a triangular space in the macellum; Area 2 with remnant opus sectile and #mosaic flooring; and Area 5 showcasing lengthy occupation history and reuse in forum tabernae.
One of our participants, Medi Jones-Williams (@BristolAnthArch), is taking over each week to provide updates!
Our on-site ceramicists have their hands full already! Pottery is reshaping our understanding of #FaleriiNovi’s chronology & economy, incl daily life & foodways!🏺
Excavation season 2024 has begun! This year we’re digging across Area 1 (macellum), Area 2 (domus), and Area 5 (forum tabernae).
Day 2 we’ve got walls, floors, & a road among other features - stay tuned for more!
Led by @the_bsr @instclasstudies @harvardclassics @UofTClassics
Directors are on site, gates are open, and trenches are prepared – ready for digging to start on Monday!
Countdown’s on! ⏰ In just 7 days we welcome our team of 40+ students, staff and specialists back on-site at Falerii Novi!
Just one month until our summer 2024 season begins! Stay tuned for new excavation areas, updates and more 🙌🏺🏛️
We were delighted to convene a session at #TRACRAC2024 in London last week, exploring a range of projects similarly joining up multi-method survey and excavation. Thanks to everyone who attended and the colleagues that spoke!
The Falerii Novi Project is excited to announce our new Environmental Archaeology Intensive Summer School!
Led by Angela Trentacoste (@dr_bone_lady) and Erica Rowan come to learn and work on-site with material from the excavations.
