Archaeology of Twentieth-Century Rome
When Rome became the capital of a unified Italian state in 1871, the city lagged behind other European capitals in contemporary architectural expression. Ancient ruins evoked a distant glory, although the area of Rome containing the Imperial Fora was covered over by a dense urban residential quarter called the Alessandrino District. The quarter was labelled a slum district by fascist propaganda, and it was demolished in the early 1930s to make wa…
Disease control and the disposal of infectious materials in Renaissance Rome
Excavations in Rome have long focused on the early city; only recently has attention turned to the archaeology of the medieval and later periods.

A contextual approach to the assemblage leads to its identification as a 'medical dump' of clinical equipment, incl…
High-Definition Urban Narratives from Central Rome
Since 2017, excavations have taken place on Caesar’s Forum in Rome. The area holds archaeological evidence covering three thousand years of Rome’s prehistory and historical periods.

However, the location’s centrality also offers challenges when transforming the vast bulk and complex nature of the archa…

Archaeological fieldwork in modern cities presents excavators with a particular set of challenges. Prominent among these is archaeological complexity—the…
