Analysis and enhancement of archaeological and paleoethnological cultural goods of the Genoa University for the establishment of a University Museum System

The research grant has the purpose of tracing the history of archaeological and palethnological assets, already part of various historical collections of the University of Genoa located at the DISTAV and the DAFIST. Specifically, archival documents and historical sources relating to the origin of the collection items will be analysed in order to match voucher numbers on the items with the various available inventories from different years. These activities will be preparatory to the redescription of the archaeological and palethnological assets (where necessary) and will culminate with enhancement and dissemination to the public activities, as well as through the publication of online and printed catalogues.
