Congratulations to current graduate student, Antonio LoPiano

We're happy to congratulate Antonio LoPiano who has won a Research Fellowship from the Etruscan Research Foundation. This fellowship supports Antonio's project, "Mapping the Ancient City of Doganella through Remote Sensing Technologies." It will investigate the development and organization of urban planning in Central Italic society through a remote sensing archaeological survey at the ancient Etruscan city of Doganella. The primary focus of this project will be the completion of two 5 ha survey transects, in the northern and southern sectors of the city, where a pilot survey has indicated the greatest presence of structural features. Doganella is a prime candidate to address the critical chronological lacuna in the archaeological record of Central Italic cities, from the late 5th to early 3rd centuries BC, due the periodization of its development known through field walking surveys. However, this project will provide the first high resolution image of Doganella’s urban infrastructure and architecture.
   
Congratulations, Antonio!
