Although the course will focus primarily on the Greek world, a portion will be devoted to the Roman world, which will be used as a point of comparison (civic/associative/domestic) in order to refine interpretative tools (categories, indicators, etc.). ________________________________________ 1) Knowledge and Understanding By the end of the course, students will be able to: • know the basic terminology and categories of the archaeology of cult; • understand the main interpretative models used to define the relationship between sacred space, ritual, and society in Greek poleis and Roman communities; • understand the structural differences between Greece and Rome (civic scale, institutions, domestic sphere, epigraphic standardization) and their impact on material evidence; • recognize the potential and limits of material sources in comparison with iconography, inscriptions, and literary texts. ________________________________________ 2) Applying Knowledge Students will be able to: • read and describe a cultic context based on plans, excavation photographs, artifact records and images, stratigraphic data, and occupational phases; • distinguish (with argumentation) a cultic context from a profane one (e.g., a votive deposit from a refuse dump, a ritual banquet from ordinary consumption), identifying archaeological indicators (traces of sacrificial burning, libation, intentional deposition, ritual feasting); • produce a brief case study analysis (record sheet, short essay, or presentation) describing topography, phases, functional areas, materials/possible rituals, and alternative interpretations, with essential bibliography; • establish targeted comparisons (Greece ↔ Rome) to clarify similarities and differences, applying a comparative framework (same problem → evidence → alternatives → limits) to Greek and Roman cases. ________________________________________ 3) Independent Judgment Students will be able to: • critically evaluate alternative interpretations of the same context (e.g., “chthonic/heroic” vs. “Olympian/civic”; “public ritual” vs. “domestic practice”); • critically assess the equifinality of data (same traces = different causes) and argue the degree of probability of different hypotheses; • use literary and epigraphic sources critically and consciously, without mechanically subordinating or “forcing” archaeological data to fit textual evidence (and vice versa). ________________________________________ 4) Communication Skills Students will be able to: • present a case study using appropriate technical vocabulary, both orally and in writing; • construct a clear argument (thesis → evidence → comparison → conclusion), correctly using images, plans, and bibliographic references; • participate in guided discussions and present short reports (individual or group) on contexts and materials. ________________________________________ 5) Learning Skills Students will be able to: • navigate core bibliography and main research tools (manuals, articles, epigraphic corpora, corpora on cult and rituals of the ancient world such as ThesCRA); • develop personal analytical tools (knowledge framework: context–materials–interpretation; list of ritual indicators; comparative conceptual maps Greek/Roman); • transfer acquired skills to new contexts (a cultic context not covered in class) by independently formulating an initial interpretative hypothesis and a verification strategy.

The course will also offer basic methodological notions for historical and critical analysis of architectonic witnesses from the period, so as to provide the essential tools necessary for an active and concrete knowledge of historical architecture, an essential pre-requisite for conservation. Knowledge and understanding: the candidate should know and illustrate the main architectural events, the relative contexts and constructions, with the relative typological, stylistic, constructive solutions, with particular attention to the relationship between architecture and decoration. Applying knowledge and understanding: the candidate should be able to understand, analyze and illustrate also unknown buildings, referable to the architectural contexts treated, with a critical spirit. To this end, during the course, the candidate is due to elaborate a historiographic analysis on an architecture chosen by the candidate, with could be discussed in the examination. Making judgements: the candidate should independently understand and identify the main architectural features and elements, even in the case of buildings not directly included in the program, however attributable to periods and contexts considered by the same. The candidate should also highlight the existing relationships between the building considered and contemporary, previous and subsequent architectures. Communication skills: Through guided visits and active lessons, the course aims to stimulate learning and communication skills, with particular attention to the use of the appropriate technical vocabulary, implemented through thematic lessons (architectural orders, construction materials and techniques, typological solutions). The candidate should also illustrate the historical architectural events and their buildings, referring to the architectural solutions, typological systems and stylistic characters, with particular attention to the technical vocabulary. Learning skills: The candidates should be able to study independently, also in deep, the architectural events of the medieval and modern age not included within the program. Students should achieve the bases to undertake a first cataloging and research activities relating to historic buildings.

________________________________________
3) Independent Judgment
Students will be able to:
• critically evaluate alternative interpretations of the same context (e.g., “chthonic/heroic” vs. “Olympian/civic”; “public ritual” vs. “domestic practice”);

________________________________________
4) Communication Skills
Students will be able to:
• present a case study using appropriate technical vocabulary, both orally and in writing;
• construct a clear argument (thesis → evidence → comparison → conclusion), correctly using images, plans, and bibliographic references;
