Archaeological Field School: Romania – Apulum Roman Villa Project AMNE 395 / 595
Description:
This seminar focuses on the excavation of a Roman villa (luxury estate and work spaces) in the hinterland of Apulum (mod. Alba Iulia, Romania), in the Roman province of Dacia. Students will practice field archaeology: excavation, recording, and interpretation of everything from architecture to pottery to animal bone. Accommodation will be provided at the local university, and lunch and dinner catered by a charming local restaurant. Excursions will include Roman sites, medieval castles, and modern towns within Transylvania. Alba Iulia itself is a picturesque town centered around an 18th‐century Austrian fort, with all of the amenities of a small European city plus several cultural festivals over the summer (including outdoor concerts, fashion shows, and weekly Roman versus Dacian battle re‐enactments on Friday night).
