The area of Archaeology, archaeometry, landscape archaeology deals with research and teaching activities in the field of Archaeology, with a focus on wide range periods of time: from Prehistory to Post-Medieval ages. The cited area studies different research aspects from the analysis and the reconstruction of rural and urban landscapes and architectures to the material culture studies. The main research topics are: Methodology of Archaeology, Pre and Protohistory, Classical and Medieval Archaeology, Ancient Topography, Archaeology of Production and Trade, Architecture and Urbanisation, Archaeology of Food. Such studies are carried out through different theoretical approaches and methodologies, also by using new technologies and are applied both to studies in site (archaeological excavations and surveys) to laboratory in depth analyses.

Rituali antichi: un approccio multidisciplinare. Il Progetto propone un approccio archeologico allo studio dei rituali antichi. Mitraismo, rituali funerari romani e vita monastica medievale saranno studiati sul campo e attraverso analisi di laboratorio (paleobotaniche, archeozoologiche, chimiche) per scoprire alcuni aspetti particolari dei riti (e in particolare che cosa si mangiava e usava durante i rituali e pasti cultuali). An archaeological way to studying religions is proposed. The Roman Mithraism and funerary rituals, and medieval monastic life will be investigated in field campaigns and laboratory analyses in order to discover what they ate and used during rituals and cultic meals.
