The American Institute for Roman Culture’s Summer Archaeological Field School is an intensive six-week educational program in Roman archaeology led by AIRC faculty and affiliated expert archaeologists. The program offers students a unique combination of one week of specialized academic instruction on the topography and development of Rome, including visits to major museums and open-air sites to augment field studies and provide participants with a broader context of what life was like in the ancient city, and five weeks of hands-on fieldwork at an important archaeological site in the city and environs. In 2012 the program will take place at both Ostia Antica, the harbor city of ancient Rome, and the Palatine hill in the heart of the city.
