The Metaponto Archaeological Project is not only bringing the history of ancient civilizations to light—it's also training the next generation of archaeological leaders.
The Metaponto Archaeological Project, an ongoing collaboration between McMaster and St. Mary’s University, is uncovering the early history of interactions between the indigenous people of Italy and the Greek settlers who began to colonize the area almost 3,000 years ago.
Researchers and graduate students from McMaster’s department of Greek and Roman Studies have teamed up with undergrads and professors from Saint Mary’s to uncover the early history of interactions between the indigenous people of this area of Italy and the Greek settlers in the 8th century BCE.
