Spring 2013 Lectures and Seminars

Nemea Center for Classical Archaeology and fellow sponsors

Monday, April 15, 2013:

The Nemea Center for Classical Archaeology and the Archaeological Institute of America, San Francisco Society are proud to announce a lecture by Professor Jack L. Davis, Carl W. Blegen Professor of Greek Archaeology, University of Cincinnati and Former Director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (2007-2012):

"The Ancient Landscape of Illyrian Apollonia: Excavation and Survey"
From 1996 to 2005, a joint Albanian-American excavation explored the hinterland of the Corinthian Greek colony of Apollonia in central Albania through systematic surface survey and excavation. This presentation discusses the genesis of the project, its goals, and results — as well as the big surprises that the research produced. The latter range from the first significant traces of a Neanderthal presence in central Albania to a previously unknown Greek temple of the 7th century B.C.

 The lecture will be held on Monday, April 15, 2013, at 7:30 pm, in 370 Dwinelle Hall

All are welcome, and refreshments will be served.

Tuesday, April 16, 2013:

The Nemea Center for Classical Archaeology will sponsor the NCCA Seminar, given by Professor Jack L. Davis:

"The Palace of Nestor at Pylos: Re-exploring a Mycenaean Kingdom"
Since 1991, the University of Cincinnati has been engaged both in new archaeological fieldwork in Messenia, Greece, as well as reexamination of unpublished finds from the principal excavations by Carl Blegen. This research has added greatly to our understanding of the Mycenaean palatial community and its practices, as well as the history of occupation at the site prior to, and subsequent to, its function as a Bronze Age palace.

The seminar will be held on Tuesday, April 16, 2013, at 5 pm, in 370 Dwinelle Hall
