About Study Abroad Experience: "This past summer I spent a month working at the Poggio Civitate Field School outside Siena in the small town of Vescovado di Murlo. The site known as Poggio Civitate has a history of almost 60 years of excavating the remains of an Etruscan settlement dating from as early as the seventh century B.C.E. My experience working at the field school was characterized by its comprehensive training in excavation, data collection, archaeological survey and drawing, objects conservation, and cataloguing. After graduation, I hope to pursue a career in art conservation, and this summer was my first exposure to the actual practice and techniques used by conservators."
