Excavating the Ancient Greek City
Peggy Mook
Wednesday, 12 Nov 2008 at 7:30 pm – Sun Room, Memorial Union
Peggy Mook, associate professor of classical studies in the Department of World Languages and Cultures, will speak on the major excavation of a settlement that existed on the Greek island of Crete from the Late Bronze Age through early Archaic. Mook began work on the excavation as a doctoral student at the University of Minnesota and has continued to help the team expose and complete restoration of the architectural remains of the village. Her analysis of the pottery in particular has helped provide evidence for the nature of daily life in the village and indicate social and economic variation across the settlement and through time. Mook’s research has been funded through the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Philosophical Society. College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean's Lecture Series.Cosponsored By:
