 The
Elymi Project
Professor Michael
Kolb has been involved in a long-term international archaeological
research in western Sicily since 1998. The goal of this project
is to describe human landscape transformations around three hilltop
settlements as indigenous and foreign economic production and political
control expanded and declined over time. These hilltops are Mokarta
(Late Bronze Age) Monte Polizzo (Early Iron Age), and Alicia (Colonial
Era).
This project utilizes a systematic procedure of regional survey
and site excavation to help describe these transformations and examine
long-term cultural change through more than a dozen cultural contexts.
