Getting ready for next year

Yep, we're already working on next summer's season and part of that involves publicizing the field school. Our off-campus office here at Drew just got the Vicus ad Martis project listed on the Study Abroad website. Check it out!

Drew Tube

Drew University's YouTube channel, Drew Tube, has a short piece up about the dig, featuring current student Alexa Marino, who participated in our fourth season in 2011. A few clips include last year's crew too, so have a look! We're also linked from the main Drew page.

Our web site has also had a little facelift. Check it out!

Dig website updated!

Phew. Finally got around to updating the dig website. I got inspired by the great photos by our friend Wendy Robinson, as well as the possibilities offered by Apple's nice website-creation software, iWeb. Expect to see some more updates in coming weeks, including a "testimonials" section by dig alumni. (You have been warned!)

Feedback always welcome, of course.

Report on 2010 Season

The report on the 2010 season has just been published in the FastiOnline FOLD&R series. Knock yourself out.

Closing Conference

An afternoon "Seminario di Studio" at the lovely San Pietro Sopra le Acque is scheduled for tomorrow July 13th, at 3:30 pm. Non mancare! This will substitute for the usual press conference.

Three weeks already?!?

That was fast!
By now all five of our first-session participants should be home or on their way. The second session is well under way and we'll have a few goodies to report soon. (Sorry, first-session gang, but that's how it goes!) The recent heat has receded somewhat. We got a brief rain shower yesterday and a bit of thunder late today, though no rain in the immediate vicinity.
Thanks again to Amanda, Alexa, Angie, Katelynn, and Michelle for all their hard work!
