Ask an Archaeologist, Episode 7: Examining Etruscan Eggs: Life, Afterlife and Funerary Meals
Lisa C. Pieraccini works on the art and archaeology of the first millennium BCE in Italy, with special emphasis on the Etruscans and early Romans. Her interests include Etruscan craft connectivity, international trade, funerary art and ritual, and issues of identity. Professor Pieraccini has published a variety of articles and chapters on aspects of Etruscan tomb painting, the Etruscan contextualization of Greek myth, the use, decor, and agency of cylinder stamped ware as well as the reception of Etruscan art from the 17th to 20th century. Dr. Pieraccini is an elected member of the Istituto di Studi Etruschi ed Italici in Florence and co-editor of the series Cities of the Etruscans (with Nancy de Grummond) published by Texas University Press. Before joining the History of Art Department, Dr. Pieraccini taught for the Classics Department and Italian Studies at UC Berkeley, Stanford University as well as Temple University in Rome.
