    Course 003 Dig in the Roman City of Sanisera (Spain) & Explore

    Course 003 Dig in the Roman City of Sanisera (Spain) & Explore Archaeology in Rome and Pompeii (Italy) 1.General Information This program, which has been scheduled by The Sanisera Archaeology Institute for International Field Schools, is divided in two main parts. In the first part of the course students will gain experience in archaeological fieldwork by excavating in the Ancient Roman city of Sanisera. This site is located in the Mediterranean island of Menorca. During the second part students will discover the most significant remains from Ancient Rome through an archaeological tour around Rome, which will be leaded by an expert on Roman art & Museums. Part 1. The archaeological fieldwork in Sanisera (Menorca, Spain) The research is focused on the archaeological excavation of Sanisera and it studies what happened in this Roman port connected to the maritime traffic that sailed the Mediterranean during those times. As a result, we know that this is a very interesting archaeological site, with abundant findings of multiple artifacts that will help us to reconstruct its past. The excavation at the Roman city of Sanisera provides all the archaeological documentation necessary for the student to acquire enough training and experience in all aspects involving an excavation of the Roman civilization from the II century B.C. to the VI A.D. In the laboratory students will learn to classify all the artifacts found on the site, including Roman pottery, numismatics and faunal remains. Time dedicated to this part of the program: 70%. Part 2. Exploring Art, Museums of Rome & Pompeii (Italy) For the second part of the course, the field program offers the opportunity to students of visiting two of the most important cities in the Roman world: Rome, the capital of the Empire, and Pompeii, whose excellent preservation allows us to admire the architectural and the artistic conventions of the time.

Results were compared with similar data previously obtained for fistulae Glandes plumbeae plumbeae aquariae from Conimbriga, an important Lusitanian Roman centre during the Empire. Low Sn contents Fistulae aquariae (≤0.01 wt%) were observed in 25% of glandes plumbeae indicating that were probably made with non-recycled Hispania Ulterior lead. A similar situation was perceived for the set of fistulae aquariae, although most of the remaining fistulae Lusitania present systematically higher Sn concentrations than those of glandes suggesting that lead recycling increased during the Empire. Pb isotope ratios distribution differentiated the analysed samples into two distinct groups: one composed by most of glandes plumbeae (15) and the other by the remaining glandes plumbeae (9) and all fistulae aquariae.

Prof. Kamen Boyadzhiev, Archaeologist and Head of Exhibitions Department at the National Institute of Archaeology and Museum, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences; Balkan Heritage Foundation affiliate ([email protected]) Assoc. Prof. Yavor Boyadzhiev, Archaeologist and Associate Professor at the National Institute of Archaeology and Museum, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences; Balkan Heritage Foundation affiliate INTRODUCTION The aim of the project is to provide participants with theoretical background on the development of Neolithic cultures in Southeastern Europe with focus on Final Neolithic/Chalcolithic Europe’s first civilization1 and with practical experience in excavating a complex prehistoric tell-site. During the seventh and sixth millennia BCE, the Balkan Peninsula was a gateway through which farming, animal husbandry and generally Neolithisation spread from Anatolia and the Near East to Europe. This new population gradually settled down and got familiar with the surrounding areas, suitable agricultural areas, raw sources and so on. In the sixth millennium BCE their economy, social organization, trade and cultural contacts evolved, to reach their peak in the fifth millennium BCE. In the beginning of the fifth millennium the earliest metallurgy in European and global prehistory (the processing of copper, and soon after – gold) appeared in the Balkans. Thus, this period is known as Copper age, Chalcolithic or Final Neolithic. The continuative inhabitance of the same suitable places during these millennia led to the formation of a settlement phenomenon, characteristic of the Near Eastern and Balkan prehistory – the multilayered tell-sites. 1 Also known as Civilization of Old Europe.

    Course 009 Fieldwork in the Necropolis of Sanisera and GIS Applied

    Course 009 Fieldwork in the Necropolis of Sanisera and GIS applied in Archaeology (Menorca – Balearic Islands – Spain) 1. General Information The Sanisera Archaeology Institute for International Field Schools offers an annual archaeology dig on the island of Menorca, off the coast of Spain. This course is for students who come from all over the world to study abroad and who are interested in archaeology, anthropology and mapping tools applied to archaeology, as well as for participants who want to learn about topography, photogrammetry and archaeological recording system with a GIS (Geographic Information System). This program is divided in two main parts: Biological Anthropology in the tombs of Sanisera and Mapping tools focused on GIS. Part 1. Bioarchaeology in the Necropolis of Sanisera (Menorca, Spain) Death in Rome has been studied in Sanisera since we started digging the first necropolis in 2008. So far we have excavated 90 tombs belonging to a Roman cemetery which could have been related to a basilica in the Roman city if Sanisera, which dates from the 4th and 6th centuries AD. The Osteology corpus in this necropolis includes more than 232 individuals. The fieldwork focuses on funerary structures, specifically inhumation graves. Participants will learn and apply excavation techniques used in biological anthropology when excavating tombs. Students will also participate in lectures on skeletal anatomy and pathologies, classes and exercises related to the course material. In the laboratory participants will be instructed by an anthropologist and other archaeologists in the classification, study, and conservation of human remains and other related materials found. Time dedicated to this part of the program: 50%.
