Collaborators

From volunteering to PhD: prehistoric field surveys in Tuscia and Rome territories, and numerous archaeological excavations across Lazio, Tuscany and Eastern Anatolia. Commercial archaeology and experience as a cultural heritage officer. Plenty of field schools and countless guided tours; organising exhibitions and museum displays; excavation support and the care of Rome's monuments from prehistory to the Renaissance. The cherry on top: over ten years excavating at Mursia—and I'm making plans for the future.

Alessandro Peinetti is currently working as a geoarchaeologist at Inrap (Institut national de recherches archéologiques préventives). After graduating from the University of Bologna, he completed a joint PhD with Paul Valéry University Montpellier 3, focusing on reconstructing patterns of occupation and the use of domestic spaces at Copper and Bronze Age sites in France and Italy. His approach is based on the characterisation of site formation processes and microstratigraphic analysis (soil micromorphology). Since 2012 he has actively collaborated on University of Bologna excavations at Mursia (Pantelleria, TP), Via Ordiere (Solarolo, RA), and Tanca Manna (Nuoro). From 2021 to 2025 he also served as a contract lecturer at the University of Bologna (course in geoarchaeology).
