This lecture will be presented by Dr. Josipa Mandić and Dr. Cesare Vita, who will deliver a public lecture about their research on pre-Roman funerary archaeology. By presenting the cemeteries of Buccino and San Brancato, two sites of the ancient region of Lucania (modern Basilicata) in central southern Italy, they will analyze changes in indigenous and Lucanian burial practices and grave goods between the 7th and 3rd centuries BCE.

FAST, or the Field Archaeology Series on Thursdays, is usually hosted in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, but for the time being FAST will be held elsewhere, due to space restrictions. The lecture will occur in the Classics Library (2175 Angell Hall). Light refreshments and food will be provided before the lecture, beginning at 5:30 pm. This event will be held in a hybrid setting, and can accessed remotely by the following link or meeting ID:
