As part of shared research programmes of the Universities of Florence and Krakow between archaeology and medieval architecture, this essay aims to offer an illustrated overview of themes and methodological procedures in the field of public archaeology, derived from activities carried out by the Chair of Medieval Archaeology of the University of Florence in Italy and in the Near East over the last two decades. These same activities are also examples of the first (2006) activities in Italy (and among the first in continental Europe) of the scientific and academic foundation of this specific field given by the British School of the UCL. The Italian-Polish collaboration particularly includes projects the University is working on with the PAN (in Warsaw/IAEO, Wroclaw, Gdansk), the Jagiellonian University of Krakow and the CNR-ITABC in Rome.
