Join host Kendall Mann, a rising senior at DePauw University, United States, and TRAP 2024 student as she talks with two guests about the Trasimeno Archaeological Project and what it entails. 

Dr. Rebecca Schindler of DePauw University serves as the site director of the project. She, along with local archaeologist Giancarlo Santarelli, discuss this year’s project and excavation process. They break down what it looks like to participate in this project and why it's important to be able to uncover this town’s history and disseminate the knowledge to the public.

Listen to this episode to hear about the multidisciplinary approach of archaeology, the relationship between DePauw University, the Umbra Institute, and the Commune of Castiglione del Lago, and the opening of the new archaeology museum showcasing this project under the Palazzo in Castiglione del Lago.
