Comunicazione e didattica archeologica in scavi aperti e non ultimati: spunti di riflessione dalla Casa delle Bestie Ferite (Aquileia)

Since 2007, University of Padua has carried out an archaeological excavation in the site of Casa delle Bestie ferite. In addition to research and educational activities, communication initiatives have been organized during the last five years: by addressing local community and other interested visitors, they aimed to present the site and to make people acquainted with the archaeological situation of the countryside of the present Aquileia. In order to make people interested in the excavation, whose analysis is still in progress, the communication strategy uses a simple and synthetic storytelling and moves from material evidence to examine issues of archaeological method, field operations and historical and topographical context.
