The experience of the humanities faculty of the Novosibirsk State University in the organization of the student practice in classical archaeology in 2012–2013 years and its scientific and didactic results

This publication presents a report of the student practice organized for the students of the Novosibirsk State University at the Vesuvian Institute of Archaeology and Humanities (Istituto Internazionale Vesuviano per l'Archeologia e le Scienze Umane) in Castellamare-di-Stabia (Italy, Region of Naples) in 2012 and 2013. This practice was lead by Professor Liudmila V. Lbova and research fellows Valentin L. Portnykh and Vyatcheslav G. Telminov. The aim of the practice was to enhance the subject area of the lecture and seminar courses taught at the Novosibirsk State University and to enrich them with new important material from the field of classical archaeology. In the framework of this project the students attended several classes on the material culture of Ancient Rome given by Dr. Paolo Gardelli (Vesuvian Institute) and visited the main archaeological sites of the area destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. While the first practice in 2012 was organized only by the Italian colleagues, the second one that took place in 2013 was accompanied with the commentary on the archaeological sites made by both Italian and Russian scholars.
