2004 FIELD SCHOOL LECTURE SCHEDULE

 

Things always change at the last minute, but here at least is a tentative list of lecture and presentation topics. You will quickly learn that circumstance and the environment go a long way in adjusting the schedule of lectures; as such all of us, staff and students alike, need to remain flexible in our attitude towards excavation life. It will soon become clear the schedules of both the lecturer and/or the excavation itself will dictate the arrangement, scheduling and cancellation of some lectures.
