“In-between goods”: Materie prime, produzione e beni dell’artigianato fenicio nel Mediterraneo
1) Programma (42 ore totali)
Modulo I – Parte generale (16 ore)
o Introduzione: cosa sono gli “intermediate goods” nel mondo antico; filiere fenicie fra materie prime, semilavorati e beni finiti; reti e nodi (Tiro, Sidone, Cartagine, Mozia). Sintesi storiografica e fonti (archeologiche, testuali, archeometriche).
o Materie prime e semilavorati:
- Metalli (rame, stagno, bronzo, ferro): approvvigionamento, tecniche e standard (“ricette” metallurgiche, leghe), officine e circolazione dei semilavorati.
- Avori e ossi: vie di approvvigionamento, botteghe “fenicie” e ibridazioni iconografiche.
- Coloranti e porpora: catena operativa, evidenze archeochimiche e siti produttivi nel Mediterraneo.
o Infrastrutture cultuali e logistiche: santuari-porto, bacini sacri e gestione delle acque come fattori di produzione e scambio
o Fenici tra Egeo, Iberia e isole: modelli di insediamento e “hub” per materie prime/semilavorati.
Modulo II – Parte monografica (16 ore)
Tre filiere a confronto, con studio di reperti e dati archeometrici:
5. Filiera della porpora: specie muricide, processi, residui, utensili, costi e status; dal semilavorato tessile al bene di lusso.
6. Filiera dei metalli (bronzi e preziosi): approvvigionamento (Iberia, Sardegna, Oriente), tecniche (fusione, cesello, doratura), circolazione di lingotti e “in-between goods”
7. Filiera dell’avorio: iconografie, modelli “fenici”, botteghe e mercato.
Modulo III – Seminari & flipped class (10 ore)
o Otto incontri seminariali con presentazioni degli studenti (coppie/gruppi) su sotto-temi concordati: es. “Metallurgia e reti commerciali in Iberia”; “Beni di lusso: committenza e riuso”; “Santuari come nodi logistici”; “Mozia e i ‘beni in-between’ nelle offerte votive”.
o Laboratorio di lettura critica di articoli open-access forniti nel Classroom
2) Risultati di apprendimento attesi
Al termine, lo studente sarà in grado di:
· Distinguere i processi produttivi e le filiere (porpora, metalli, avorio) nelle catene fenicie e discuterne l’impatto economico-sociale.
· Discutere criticamente delle diverse classi di materiali trattati durante le lezioni.
· Valutare il ruolo di santuari e porti come hub produttivi e di scambio
· Presentare criticamente la letteratura scientifica open-access e produrre una presentazione su un argomento concordato.
3) Prerequisiti
· Competenze minime di lettura di articoli accademici in inglese.
4) Modalità d’esame
· Partecipazione attiva ai seminari e discussioni: 20%
· Presentazione seminariale (flipped class, letture) 20%
· Esame finale: 60%
5) Esempi di domande d’esame
· Spiega come e perché la porpora funzioni da “bene di lusso”
· Discuti la circolazione di semilavorati metallici e il rapporto tra standard di lega e reti fenicie in Iberia
· Confronta avorio e metallo come filiere: approvvigionamento, botteghe, committenza, circolazione.
6) Metodo di insegnamento
· Lezioni frontali con case study e lettura guidata di articoli open-access
· Flipped classroom: studenti presentano, la classe discute e integra con dati e parallelismi inter-areali.
· Laboratorio di lettura critica di articoli open-access
7) Frequenza
· Consigliata (≥70% delle ore). Obbligatoria la presenza alle sessioni del Modulo III in cui lo studente presenta.
8) Sostenibilità
· Uso prevalente di risorse open-access (minimizza costi e impatto ambientale).
· Promozione di citazioni responsabili e condivisione dei materiali .
· Attenzione alla riproducibilità: schede standard per filiere e check-list metodologiche.
· Discussione critica del rapporto fra estrazione risorse e ambienti costieri nell’antichità (acque, molluschi, deforestazione per forni).
9) Bibliografia essenziale in open-access (vedi in Lavori del corso - Bibliografia)

Aula F Thu 8-10
Classroom: https://classroom.google.com/c/MjEyNzYyOTQ4MDBa?cjc=hadzrld
Lectures will start the 27th of February 2025
The aim of the course is to provide an advanced knowledge of the archaeology of the Mediterranean regions between the pre-classical period and the growth of Rome as maritime power in the Mediterranean (9th-2nd century BC), with a focus on two regions affected by Phoenician colonization: Sicily, Sardinia and North Africa and on the relations between the Phoenicians and the pre-Roman Italic world.
The topics covered in the lessons will be
- Geography and history of the Phoenicians;
- Chronology;
- main characteristics of the Phoenician culture (urbanism, art, material culture, funerary customs);
- causes and modes of Phoenician expansion in the Mediterranean (colonization);
- description of the main Phoenician archaeological sites of Sicily, Sardinia, North Africa
- the western Phoenician civilization in the Tyrrhenian cultural context

Mon, Thu 10-12, Aula A, 1st Floor, Faculty of Letters (CU003)
Classroom: https://classroom.google.com/c/MjEyNzYzNjgyMjBa?cjc=ygqduee
Lectures will start the 24th of February 2025
The course aims to provide foundational knowledge of the archaeology of the Levant and
the coastal regions of the central and western Mediterranean during the pre-classical
period (4th–1st millennium BCE). The course will follow two parallel paths:
1. PRE-CLASSICAL LEVANT (Prof. Daria Montanari)
This section offers an introduction to the archaeology of the pre-classical Levant,
focusing on specific topics, particularly the Chalcolithic period. It contextualizes and
highlights the development of local societies and the characteristics of material
culture in relation to preceding and subsequent periods.
A part of the course will address the general geographic and chronological
framework of the Levant, from the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age. The
Chalcolithic Period will then be examined in detail, exploring its general and specific
characteristics, including material culture through ceramic, lithic, and metallurgical
analyses, as well as sacred and domestic architecture and social features.
2. PRE-CLASSICAL MEDITERRANEAN (Prof. Federica Spagnoli)
This section provides a foundational understanding of the major civilizations that
form the complex mosaic of pre-classical Mediterranean cultures. Beginning with
the Neolithic period in Cyprus, the course will outline the main characteristics of
2nd-millennium BCE cultures in selected regions of the central and western
Mediterranean.
Key case studies will be presented to illustrate settlements, sacred structures,
burials, and infrastructure in major sites from the following regions: Malta, Sicily,
Sardinia, the Iberian Peninsula, and the Balearic Islands.

General information
For general information on the submission of the thesis dissertation and related deadlines, please refer to the official website of the course program.
Request the dissertation topic in advance from at least 4 months (LT) or 6 months (MA) before the graduation session; the complete thesis must be uploaded online on the Sapienza Infostud system 15 days before the beginning of the session.
To request the thesis, send me an email and ask for an appointment to discuss the topic and details.
To use the essential bibliography, knowledge of English is sufficient. Depending on the topic, it may be necessary to consult some texts in French and Spanish. In that case I will provide you specific help.
Format of the dissertation
Written report (length about 40 pages for LT, 60 pages for MA) on the assigned topic and oral examination.
The dissertation must be written in a font size of 12 pt; essential to follow drafting rules chosen by the student on the advice of the tutor.
MA Thesis in Phoenician and Punic Archaeology (Cultural Heritage)
you must have passed the exam of
Phoenician and Punic Archaeology (me)
an one of the following exams:
Near Eastern Archaeology (Prof. L. Nigro)
Near Eastern Art and Archaeology (Prof. M. D'Andrea)
Heritage and Narrative (Prof. D. Nadali)
MA Thesis in Phoenician and Punic Archaeology (Mediterranean Archaeology)
you must have passed the exam of
Ancient Mediterranean Cultural Interaction, the Phoenicians and the Etruscans (F. Spagnoli - D.F. Maras)
LT Thesis in Phoenician and Mediterranean Archaeology (Global Humanities)
To make a thesis in Phoenician and Mediterranean Archaeology with me, you must have passed the following exams:
Phoenician and Mediterranean Archaeology (it's me)
Introduction to the Near Eastern Archaeology (Prof. D. Montanari)
Archaeology of Mediterranean pre-Classical Cultures (Prof. F. Genchi)
Given the specificity of the teaching within the Global Humanities program, the dissertations must focus on an archaeological topic that is also transversal and that highlights the skills (historical, social, economic) acquired during the course, so co-teaching with one of the professors in the “core disciplines” is strongly recommended.
