Central Apennines: A History of Cultural Change in the Highlands of Central Italy
Project description

This research project will contribute to a dissertation about cultural change in the Central Apennines of Italy between the eighth and first centuries BC. It requires conducting research at the AAR Library, other institutions in Rome, and the libraries at the University of Bologna. This information will shed light on any changes in the funerary practices, social organization, trade relationships, and economic situation of the people living in this area.
