For some years you have been collaborating with Preistoria in Italia and Autrici di civili for which you have curated some in-depth studies on archeology in Sardinia and on the power of Igbo women.
Giulia Saltini Semerari, Anthropologist, Curator of the Museum of Anthropological Archaeology, thanks to the rich archaeological documentation of the Mediterranean, she studies the socio-economic dynamics of small and large dimensions as they have influenced the cultures in contact. Her research offers a unique perspective on ancient Mediterranean interactions, integrating archaeological and bioarchaeological approaches to explore questions of cultural contact, mobility, identity and social development. The project Ancient Mediterranean interactions between colonizers and indigenous populations (AMICI), in particular, is contributing to a better understanding of the Greek colonization of southern Italy and its impact on indigenous populations.
The next meetings will be announced on the website www.preistoriainitalia.it and on the Preistoriainitalia Facebook page.
