Next SJBAS
Meeting
Our next meeting will be held on
Wednesday, March 13th, at
7:00 p.m. in the Lyceum at the Center of Southwest
Studies at Fort Lewis College. After a brief
business meeting,
Andrew Carroll will present: “Throwing the baby out
with the bathwater: Infant mortality at Poggio
Civitate, Murlo”. There will be a social at 6:30
p.m. in the CSWS Foyer.
Poggio Civitate is well known for its early
monumental buildings and their tiled and decorated
roofs. Art historians have studied the site for
years, looking at these symbols of the aristocratic
inhabitants. However, the smallest artifacts are
revealing a more complete image about life at all
levels at Poggio Civitate. Careful collection of
faunal remains and a reexamination of the archives
has shown class distinctions in the way infant
mortality was treated among the non-elite class at
Poggio Civitate. This type of holistic analysis
helps create a more nuanced and complete picture of
Tuscany during the Orientalizing and Archaic
Periods.
Andrew Carroll has excavated for a decade in Italy,
working at both Roman and Etruscan sites. He has
excavated an emperor's villa, a bathhouse and a
local aristocrats house. He is active in the
Classical community, volunteering with the American
Classical League and the Classical Association of
the Midwest and South. And has taught Latin at
various schools for almost a decade. He has just
moved to Durango with his wife, who teachers at the
Fort.
