Tu. April 21, 2:00pm: Dr. Vassilis Kilikoglou, Director of the Institute of Materials Research at the National Center for Scientific Research “Demokritos” in Greece and a world expert on archaeometric studies of Greek ceramics presents a public lecture entitled “From Pottery Provenance to Technology and Function: Methodological Issues of Archaeological Science” Haury Building, Rm 215. Free and open to the public.
Wed. April 22, 2:00pm: Dr. Kilikoglou will also deliver a master seminar at the Laboratory for Traditional Technology (Haury Rm 125). The seminar with a focus on “Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Archaeological Ceramics” will be from 2:00-4:30pm. Free and open to the public. Assigned readings are attached below.
A sign-up sheet for individual meetings with Dr. Kilikoglou is available at Anthro Main Office.
Dr. Kilikoglou's visit is made possible with support from Global Initiatives (Visiting Scholar Grant), from the School of Anthropology, Department of Classics, AIA Tucson Society.
