CLST 24 Archaeology of Early Rome and Its Neighbors

This course examines Rome’s transformation in late prehistory—from hut settlement to city and then to regional power—within its broader cultural context, including the Etruscans and Latins of Central Italy as well as other Mediterranean societies. By surveying archaeological evidence (architectural, iconographic, epigraphic, funerary, survey, environmental) from the Bronze Age to the dawn of the historical era (ca. 300 BCE), the class explores themes such as blended economies, community building, and state formation processes.
