(25 January 2017) A group of professors and researchers from the Department of Cultural Heritage of the University of Salento will soon depart for Iran. The expedition will take place from January 27 until February 6 at the archaeological site of Shahr-I Sokhta where- on the basis of a protocol recently coordinated between the “Research Institute of Cultural Heritage and Tourism” of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the University of Salento- a multidisciplinary research will take place. Members of the research team are Giuseppe Ceraudo, Girolamo Fiorentino, Pierfrancesco Fabbri, Claudi Minniti, Veronica Ferrari, and Paolo Guacci along with Professor Enrico Ascalone from the University of Copenhagen. The agreement- borne from an initiative of Francesca Baffi Professor of Archaeology and Art History of the Middle East, authorised the university to conduct this joint research project with Iranian authorities in the field.
