DESCRIPTION:Dr. Rachel Horner Brackett\, visiting assistant professor of sociology and anthropology\, will present&nbsp\;will present a talk on the Etruscans\, drawing on her experience studying Etruscan archaeology through a National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship in the summer of 2015.\n\nDescription: Who were the Etruscans? Between approximately 800 BCE - 510 BCE\, a distinctly Etruscan culture dominated what is now central Italy. Renowned for their skills in metalsmithing\, impasto and bucchero pottery\, and religious divination\, the Etruscans grew a rich trade network spanning the Mediterranean. Their mythology\, commerce\, and government directly influenced the rise of the Romans — and thus the rise of Western civilization. However\, few of their written records remain\, and the Etruscans typically fall into the footnotes of history.\n&nbsp\;\nIn this lecture\, Dr. Brackett will present archeological evidence from Etruscan necropolises — literal cities of the dead built to mirror cities for the living. She also will connect the legacy of ancient Etruscans to her ethnographic work in modern Tuscany.&nbsp\;\n
