The ten pages do not include the title page, bibliography or illustrations that may be used. I would recommend using headings/subheadings to help with organization.

If illustrations are used, put them at the end of the document and use an in-text citation to cite them. The citation method should be Chicago in-text citation.
The paper focuses on how the Siege of Syracuse can be viewed as an archaeological disaster. In the context of the Siege of Syracuse (213-212 BC), an archaeological disaster would refer to the destruction or damage to valuable historical artifacts, structures, or cultural heritage elements as a direct or indirect result of the siege. The Siege of Syracuse was a key military engagement during the Second Punic War, in which the Roman Republic attempted to take control of the ancient Greek city-state of Syracuse on the eastern coast of Sicily.
As a result of the prolonged siege, combat, and eventual capture of the city by the Romans, many significant historical and cultural elements in Syracuse may have been damaged or destroyed. This destruction would have included not only physical structures like temples, theaters, and other public buildings but also irreplaceable artifacts and historical records. The archaeological disaster in this case would represent a loss of vital information about Syracuse’s ancient past, its contributions to science and art, and its influence in the Mediterranean world. Additionally, the impact of such destruction would have reverberated through the local community, with lasting consequences for the preservation of their cultural heritage and collective identity.In the context of the Siege of Syracuse (213-212 BC), an archaeological disaster would refer to the destruction or damage to valuable historical artifacts, structures, or cultural heritage elements as a direct or indirect result of the siege.
