In recent years, museums, research institutions, cultural institutes, professionals and associations have promoted projects dedicated to adapting and expanding the community’s access to cultural heritage. The University of Trieste, engaged since 2005 in the excavation of the insula between the Forum and the fluvial port, retraces the participatory archaeology activities carried out in the nearly twenty years of presence in Aquileia. Among the main interventions carried out are listed workshops and assisted paths on the construction site, conferences, teaching aids and exhibitions, which show how the excavation-school has opened up to the community.
