We are excited to start the year by hearing UC Berkeley graduate students report on their summer research and excavation experiences at various sites across the globe. Shelby Medina (Anthropology) will discuss her magnetometry work at the site of Tugunbulak in Uzbekistan. Bella Blanton (Ancient History & Mediterranean Archaeology) will speak about the field season of the Notion Archaeological Project, a Michigan-Turkish excavation of Ionian Greek city. Layla Fistos (Ancient History & Mediterranean Archaeology) will present on her work studying amulets from the American University of Beirut Museum in Lebanon.
