Student Research Projects:
All students in the
Poggio Colla Field School participate in research projects under
the direction of one of the professors on our staff. For information
on these projects, find links on the Student Research Projects
page.
Architecture:
A report by Ingrid Edlund-Berry, in
consultation with Lucy T. Shoe Meritt: "The Architectural
Mouldings of Poggio Colla" can be found on the Architecture
page of this website.
Surveys:
Both the general site survey and AutoCAD
mapping project, directed by Jess Galloway, and the archaeo-topographical
survey, directed by Mark Corney, are introduced on the Surveys
page of this website.
The Coring
Survey Project, supervised by Thijs Nales and Robert Vander Poppen,
explores the context of our Etruscan settlement in its larger
landscape. This project is covered on the Coring Survey page of this website.
Shovel Test Pit Project
Through a systematic grid of Shovel
Test Pits, this project samples the plow zone on the Podere Funghi
in order to determine patterns of artifact distribution across
the site. The project is directed by Sara Bon-Harper from the
Monticello Department of Archaeology. See Shovel
Test Pit Project.
Geophysics:
A geophysical survey of the Podere
Funghi is directed by Professor Robert Sternberg of Franklin
and Marshall College. See Sternberg

Monna, from the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche in
Rome. Photographs of Dr. Monna and his assistant Ivo Bruner are
included on Resistivity
Prospection page. A report on the resistivity project will
follow.
Ground-Penetrating Radar:

directed by Dr. Frank Vento of Clarion University is presented
on the Frank
Vento Project page.
Paleoethnobotanical Research:
The purpose of the paleoethnobotany
project, directed by Lynn Makowsky of the University of Pennsylvania
Museum, is to uncover important information about the human-plant
relationship at Poggio Colla. See Paleobotanical
Research.
