The Roman villa of Piantarella (Corsica)

Dr. Gaël Brkojewitsch is a Belgian Roman archaeologist specializing in Roman villas, rural settlements, and the socio-economic organization of landscapes in the western Mediterranean. He is currently Archaeologist at the Preventive Archaeology Unit of the Eurométropole de Metz and a research associate at the Centre Camille Jullian (UMR 7299 CNRS / Aix-Marseille Université). He is also President of the AGER (Association pour l’Étude du Monde Rural Gallo-Romain)  and an elected member of the French National Council for Archaeological Research (CNRA). 

In northeastern Gaul, particularly in Moselle, he has directed around sixty archaeological operations in both rural and urban contexts, ranging from preventive excavations to large-scale research programs. 

His research focuses on elite habitation, maritime and insular contexts, and long-term territorial dynamics during the Roman period. In Corsica, he studies several villae in the territory of Aleria and directs the research program at Piantarella (Bonifacio), one of the most significant Roman maritime villa complexes known on the island. He also coordinates a collective research project devoted to Roman occupation in the Strait of Bonifacio. His work combines stratigraphic excavation, architectural analysis, landscape archaeology, archaeometry, and the critical synthesis of legacy excavation archives and artefact collections.
