The course aims to prepare young scholars to the research in the field of prehistory and protohistory through the guided realization of an original study on some of the multiple aspects that fall within the analysis of the processes that lead to urbanization. The PhD students will be assigned to one or more tutor and they will apply to the research the methodologies of prehistoric and protohistoric archaeology, also through the use of archaeometric, bioarchaeological and paleoenvironmental analysis. They will consider in particular the following aspects and their transformations in a given geographical context in the chronological span of the period examined: 1) the characters of the natural environment and subsistence activities; 2) the settlement system, both as regards its relations with the environment itself and the relationships of cooperation or competition, of subordination or parity between the different settlements; 3) the extraction and circulation of raw materials; 4) the transformation of products and the circuits of exchange of manufactured goods; 5) socio-political relations, both within a community and between several human nuclei, in relation also with the incidence that economic and ideological factors can have on these aspects; 6) symbolic and artistic production.
