The AMNE department is pleased to share that PhD student Caroline Barnes will give a public lecture on February 27th at 7:30pm as a part of the Pharos lecture series, presented by the Hellenic-Canadian Cultural Society. The in-person talk will be held at the Hellenic Community Centre in the Upper Hall at 4500 Arbutus Street.
Dawing on her expertise in the archaeology of Bronze Age Cyprus, Caroline Barnes will guide us through a detective story: What ancient walls can teach us about the politics, society, and economics of antiquity. Long before ‘tear down this wall!’, we’ll discover how the archaeology of Greek walls offer up clues to broader social and political structures, travels, technology, and exchange in the distant past.
Light refreshments will be available at the event.
