Giulia Saltini Semerari, Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. His research deals with mobility and interactions between Mediterranean people, in particular between Southern Italy, Greece and Albania of the first millennium BC (Iron Age). Recently he began a project on Adriatic mobility in protohistory focused on the two river valleys in Salento and Albania. Another aspect that interests you is the gender organization of the communities of this period, and in particular how this changes and adapts to the great historical changes that affected the Mediterranean from Greek colonization to the foundation of the first urban centers. On this topic she co-directs a research group together with other Mediterranean scholars.
The next meetings will be announced on the website www.preistoriainitalia.it and on the Preistoriainitalia Facebook page.
