Associazione Internazionale di Archeologia Classica

Associazione Internazionale di Archeologia Classica (AIAC)

The American Academy in Rome will host a panel presentation of the Associazione Internazionale di Archeologia Classica/International Association for Classical Archaeology (AIAC), in that organization's longstanding Incontri series. The current president of the association is Elizabeth Fentress, former American Academy in Rome Mellon Professor-in-Charge (1996–99).

Founded in Rome in 1945, AIAC aims to facilitate international collaboration among classical archaeologists through coordinating conferences and congresses of classical archeology. It also serves in Rome as the principal clearinghouse for information on archaeology-related scholarly events. AIAC publishes Fasti Online, the premier international database for archaeological excavations in thirteen countries in the territory of the former Roman Empire (including of course Italy), which in turn continues its print Fasti Archaeologici (published between 1948 and 1987). Since 2000, AIAC also has organized a series of monthly Incontri in Rome, where young scholars from Italian universities and the many foreign institutes in the city can present their research.

The theme for this evening at the American Academy in Rome will be Riti etruschi: dal santuario alla tomba, moderated by Helga di Giuseppe (AIAC). Presenting on the AIAC program will be:

  • Angela Trentacoste (University of Sheffield), Beyond sacrifice: Reevaluating the Ritual Use and Deposition of Animals in Etruscan and Early Roman Italy
  • Alessandro Giacobbi (Sapienza-Etruscologia), Dionisio in Etruria: la documentazione dal santuario di Campo della Fiera di Orvieto
  • Edwige Lovergne (ED112, Université de Paris I), Sepolture e corredi dalla necropoli ellenistica di Musarna. Un contributo alla conoscenza dei gesti funerari
