ÂÌñÒùÆÞ

Friends of ÂÌñÒùÆÞ is excited to launch our new webinar series on August 9 at 8pm EDT, featuring Dr. Eric H. Cline. An internationally renowned archaeologist with more than thirty seasons of excavation experience, Prof. Cline has conducted fieldwork from Greece and Crete to Egypt, Israel, and Jordan. Drawing on his upcoming book, Digging Deeper, Cline answers questions archaeologists are most frequently asked:

How do you know where to dig?
How are excavations actually done?
How do you know how old something is?
Who gets to keep what is found?
How do you know what people from the past ate, wore, and looked like?

This lecture will be filled with insights and practical advice about how archaeology really works. The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session with Prof. Cline.

Dr. Eric H. Cline is Professor of Classics and Anthropology, Director of the Capitol Archaeological Institute, and former Chair of the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at The George Washington University, in Washington DC.
