Situated directly on the Roman Via Amerina and reportedly founded after the destruction of the nearby Faliscan settlemen t of Falerii Veteres in 241 BC\, it has seen remarkably little modern occu pation. Archaeological survey using a variety of methods\, including magne tometry and ground-penetrating radar\, over the past 30 years has revealed a detailed map of buried structures and created a comprehensive survey da taset. A campaign of new excavations and specialist analyses have started to reveal exciting information of a different granularity. The Falerii Nov i Project\, led by the British School at Rome and the universities of Harv ard and Toronto\, and supported by the universities of Florence and Ghent\ , is undertaking the first modern\, multidisciplinary scientific excavatio n of this urban site. The project hopes to interrogate chronologies of urb an development at a crucial point of mid-Republican Roman expansion\, as w ell as the site’s unclear abandonment process\, and explores themes of i ntercultural fusion\, migration\, and daily commercial and domestic life. This lecture will provide an overview of historical data from the site alo ngside that from a preliminary season of test excavations in 2021\, large- scale open area excavations across three intramural zones in 2022\, and co ntinued geophysical survey and environmental analysis.

Located 50km north of Rome\, the city of Falerii Novi lies bu ried beneath agricultural fields and olive groves with monumental circuit walls still largely standing. Situated directly on the Roman Via Amerina a nd reportedly founded after the destruction of the nearby Faliscan settlem ent of Falerii Veteres in 241 BC\, it has seen remarkably little modern oc cupation. Archaeological survey using a variety of methods\, including mag netometry and ground-penetrating radar\, over the past 30 years has reveal ed a detailed map of buried structures and created a comprehensive survey dataset. A campaign of new excavations and specialist analyses have starte d to reveal exciting information of a different granularity. The Falerii N ovi Project\, led by the British School at Rome and the universities of Ha rvard and Toronto\, and supported by the universities of Florence and Ghen t\, is undertaking the first modern\, multidisciplinary scientific excavat ion of this urban site. The project hopes to interrogate chronologies of u rban development at a crucial point of mid-Republican Roman expansion\, as well as the site’s unclear abandonment process\, and explores themes of intercultural fusion\, migration\, and daily commercial and domestic life . This lecture will provide an overview of historical data from the site a longside that from a preliminary season of test excavations in 2021\, larg e-scale open area excavations across three intramural zones in 2022\, and continued geophysical survey and environmental analysis.
