From its inception and in its early years, the Joukowsky Institute has prioritized its many field projects around the world. The Institute’s predecessor, the Center for Old World Archaeology and Art, also boasted an active fieldwork history, with work at several sites in Italy (such as La Muculufa, Satrianum and Ustica) and on Corfu. Important projects have also been run out of Brown University’s Departments of Anthropology, Egyptology and Assyriology, and History of Art and Architecture.
