Feb 27: Ancient Walls – An Adventure in Archaeology with Caroline Barnes
Please join us for a free illustrated lecture and photographic exhibition on Monday, February 27th at 7:30pm Pacific Time, in-person at the Hellenic Community Centre in the Upper Hall at 4500 Arbutus Street, with UBC Ph.D. candidate Caroline Barnes.
Caroline Barnes
This month, drawing 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.
For those unable to attend in person, you also have the option to join by Zoom, here:
