NB: TO RECEIVE A REGISTRATION KIT FOR 1997 LEARNEDS, YOU MUST REQUEST ONE.
This is the first test of an electronic distribution list for members of
learned societies attending the 1997 Congress to be held at Memorial
University in St John's, NF.
In the past, in excess of 40,000 conference registration booklets were
printed and mailed, while registration figures are less than 10,000. We
want to reduce the waste -- both financial and environmental. To receive a
copy of the 1997 Registration and Information Booklet by mail next
January, please let us know by replying to this message, or by contacting
the Learneds Secretariat by phone, fax or Canada Post. As a conservation
measure, you may prefer to access the information (including registration,
accommodation and tour forms) on the world wide web (see the URL above).
If you do wish to receive a registration kit, we would be grateful if you
could respond to this message as soon as possible: this may permit us to
avoid sending you a superfluous printed form in the mail. If you do
receive such a form after letting us know that you plan to register,
please pass it on to a colleague who may be interested in attending. If
you have already requested a registration form, please answer this message
in any event, as your previous request may not have been recorded, or may
have been recorded under a different mailing address.
Please don't hesitate to contact us between now and the beginning of the
Congress.

Carolyn Dewald, Caroline Eades, Joseph Farrell, Helene Foley, Natalie
Kampen, Rachel Kitzinger, Francoise Letoublon, Martha Malamud, Mitchell

IV. Classics and Cultural Studies
A wrap-up session will feature John J. Peradotto, the honoree, and the

[9] STUDY PROGRAMS AND TRAINING EXCAVATIONS
(a) UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
TRAINING EXCAVATION IN BRITAIN
CLASSICAL STUDIES 335
The 'Lunt' Fort at Baginton, Warwickshire
August, 1997
The Department of Classics at the University of British Columbia will
conduct a training excavation in August 1997 at the 'Lunt', a Roman fort
in central England, first built under Nero (in approx. 60 AD) in
connection with the revolt of Boadicea. Excavation began in the 1960's,
and in 1988 UBC began work on the western defences. The site is well-known
for the reconstruction of areas where excavation is completed, including
part of the eastern rampart and gateway, granary (now the site museum) and
gyrus (cavalry training enclosure).
Students are trained in all aspects of excavation, and subject to
satisfactory performance obtain six credits for Classical Studies 335,
equivalent to one full-year course. Students from other universities may
take the course for transfer credit. There are no prerequisites.
The practicum will last for four weeks, from July 28- August 22 There will
be a number of free days. Visiting lecturers will come to the site, and
excursions to other places of interest will be organized at moderate cost.
Baginton is located near Coventry (direct bus service to London Airports),
very close to Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon and the Cotswolds.
Accommodation is at the University of Warwick (two miles from the site) in
five-person flats with private bedrooms and self-catering facilities. The
campus offers extensive eating and entertainment facilities. Costs:
students make their own travel arrangements to Britain and register at UBC
with the appropriate fee. A charge of 345 (pounds) covers the cost of
accommodation, local staff, excavation fees, daily transportation and
refreshments on the site for the whole period.
A deposit of $100 (made out to 'A.A. Barrett') is required. Early
registration is recommended. In the event of cancellation, the deposit is
refunded if the place is filled.

the end of the study tour (numbers are limited by the accommodations
available in Stymphalia).
This is an excellent chance for students to become familiar with the
monuments of Classical and Pre-Classical Greece. Participants will learn
first hand about the most important archaeological discoveries in Greece
and what they have to tell us about the development of Greek culture
through the ages. Academic credit for this program of study is available
by arrangement through the student's home institution. It is not available
through Memorial University of Newfoundland.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELDSCHOOL
CARTHAGE, TUNISIA 1977
Applications are invited from students interested in taking part in a
six-week archaeological fieldschool at Carthage, Tunisia from May 26th to
July 7th, 1977. The project will involve the continued excavation of a
