Wandering Pots, Wandering Pictures

Revisiting the debate concerning pictures as a medium of cultural values and social communication, my project aims to investigate the expression of social identities in Southeast Italy between the 5th and the 4th centuries BC. The starting point of the study is the analysis of images on Red-figure pottery found in funerary contexts of the so-called Western Greek and Italic peoples in the present-day Basilicata region.
