The Marzuolo Archaeological Project (MAP) is an international and interdisciplinary fieldwork project investigating the rural craft site of Podere Marzuolo (ca. 2 ha) in southern Tuscany (Italy). It is directed by CIAMS professor Astrid Van Oyen, and this summer several CIAMS graduate and undergraduate students participated in excavations at the site.
