[1] Association Announcements <Back>

From: F Pownall, University of Alberta <Frances.Pownall@ualberta.ca>

As we all settle down to mark the March batch of essays, I would like to remind everyone to keep the CAC Undergraduate Essay Competition in mind. Essays for any course we teach from junior surveys to senior seminars are welcome. I would prefer clean copies, as it saves me time with the whiteout. Also, students may correct small errors such as typos or bibliographical format, but the essay should essentially be the same one that was submitted in the course. The deadline is August 31, 2000, to allow essays from summer courses to be included.

Please send essays to:

[5] Study Tours and Summer Study <Back>

From: Leslie Longo-Viccica, Brock University <leslie@spartan.ac.brocku.ca>

CRETE - MINOANS - EXCAVATION - YOU!!!
Learn how to excavate in a formal learning context this Spring in Crete at a Late Minoan IIIC (mid-12th century B.C.) settlement. The site is Khalasmenos in the northern part of the Isthmus of Ierapetra in eastern Crete. The ongoing project is co-directed by Dr. Metaxia Tsipopoulou (Greek Archaeological Service) and Dr. William Coulson (American School of Classical Studies). There will be two educational programs:

CLAS 4F75: Archaeological Practicum: May 6th through June 3rd
The Practicum (or field school) includes at the beginning of the course a 5 day study tour of Bronze Age and Iron Age sites in central and eastern Crete and 23 full days of excavation experience. The fourth year, full year (i.e. two terms/ semesters) course is open to 3rd and 4th year undergraduate students, graduate students and teachers. No auditors will be accepted. Maximum enrolment: 8

CLAS 3P75: Archaeological Field Work: May 12th through June 3rd
This field school course features 22 full days of excavation experience. This third year half year (i.e. term/semester) course is open to 2nd through 4th year undergraduate students, graduate students and teachers. No auditors will be accepted. Maximum enrolment: 10

N.B. Both courses will provide a systematic introduction to the techniques and procedures used in excavation and recording at a site as well as to the processing of artifacts and the data recovered. Lectures will be given by the instructors and project staff members on various aspects of the project. Each course will have an experienced field archaeologist dedicated to the instruction and the supervision of the students. There will also be a full day excursion to visit the sites and museum in far eastern Crete The project will be based in Pachiammos and will utilize the INSTAP Study Center for East Crete for the processing and study of the finds in the afternoons.

Convegno di studi: I MEDICI IN RETE: RICERCA E PROGETTUALITÀ SCIENTIFICA A PROPOSITO DELL'ARCHIVIO MEDICEO AVANTI IL PRINCIPATO settembre 2000, Firenze Archivio di Stato

Segnalazione di lavori in corso per la Sezione poster

All'attenzione degli studiosi interessati

L'Archivio di Stato di Firenze, in collaborazione con l'Istituto Nazionale di studi sul Rinascimento e con l'Harvard University Center for Renaissance Studies at Villa I Tatti, ha in programma, per il prossimo mese di settembre, un Convegno di studi e di approfondimento intorno ad uno dei suoi fondi più importanti e consultati, il Mediceo avanti il Principato. Una serie di relazioni di studiosi italiani e stranieri approfondiranno alcuni aspetti delle problematiche che questo archivio pone alla ricerca specialistica per la sua struttura e i suoi contenuti e affronteranno momenti particolari della sua stessa fortuna storiografica. Il Convegno ospiterà anche una Sezione Poster in cui potranno essere annunciati i progetti in corso che per le proprie finalità di ricerca attraversano significativamente il fondo Mediceo avanti il Principato. Il programma definitivo sarà consultabile tra breve nel sito dell'Archivio di Stato di Firenze al seguente indirizzo: http://www.archiviodistato.firenze.it/manife/map.htm
Nella speranza che questa iniziativa possa incontrare il Vostro interesse, invitiamo a darne diffusione e soprattutto a segnalarci i progetti che possono essere inseriti nella Sezione Poster.
