Tell a story with material culture

  1. Look up a site on Peripleo. Hint: Use the instructions on “How to search Archaeological Objects through Linked Open Data”, below, to help yourself navigate through the various resources.
  2. Choose five objects that represent some historical information about that place, for example:
  • A monument
  • A mosaic or painting
  • A coin (or coins)
  • A colony, or an important nearby settlement
  • An inscription
  • Pottery
  • A sculpture
  • An extensive reference in a Classical text Remember the chronological information for the objects you selected: not all of them may belong to the same historical period!
  1. Create a schematic card for each item with the essential information about it: you have to include at least:
  • Name or title of the object (name of the author and work for references to Classical texts)
  • Date (or date range)
  • Short description
  • Image or text citation
  • Site of finding
  • Site or museum/archive of preservation
  • Source URL
  1. Write a short paper, explaining how and why each of these objects tells something about the history of that place. Include the item cards.
