[2] CCB Announcements / Annonces du BCÉA

From the Editor / Du rédacteur

I—In the past several weeks I contacted some 65 CAC ex-members and non-members to ask them whether they still wished to receive the Bulletin. If you're one of them, please reply before the end of this month, otherwise your name will be removed from the list. I would rather keep you on my list, but periodical updates are necessary.

II—Recently I was informed that the link to the CCB was buried in the email message I send to inform you that a new issue has been posted. At my end of things, everything looks beautiful, but please do let me know if your display is problematic: I may be able to do something about it.

III—You probably noticed, too, that I am now including a Table of Contents in the email.

IV—For those among you who are looking for a position, you may find much useful material in the APA's Checklist of advice for job candidates in Classics.

V—In this issue there are three announcements of summer courses abroad. Since very few undergraduate students read the CCB, I invite all course instructors to inform their students of those interesting opportunities.

BETWEEN TEXT & PRAXIS
WRITING ANCIENT SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY IN THE ANCIENT WORLD & BEYON
APRIL 13–14, 2013, MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY OF NEWFOUNDLAND, ST. JOHN'S NL

From: Milo Nikolic

The Department of Classics at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's will be hosting an open collaborative workshop on the history of medicine, science, and technology as well as other related fields. We are calling out to potential participants who have a work in progress on any aspect of the above fields and would like to share and invite feedback. The work in progress can be, for example, a manuscript in progress or a conference paper that could be converted to an article manuscript.

Ideally, we are planning for six to eight participants who will circulate their working documents among one another prior to the workshop. The aim is to emerge with a substantially more complete manuscript ready to submit for consideration in a special edition of Mouseion.

The intended format will allow one hour per participant, during which the presenter presents a 20-minute synopsis of his or her paper. This presentation can, according to the presenter's preference, be followed by any or a combination of the following:

• a Q&A period
• a brainstorming session
• an editing and bibliographic session
• a suggestion & critique session
• a roundtable discussion
• theory and methodology

Limited financial support is available to defray expenses, but participants are encouraged to seek their own funding.

Please send a description of your work and include your name, position, and affiliation, and the subject of your research. You should also indicate at what stage your document will be at the time of the workshop. Proposals must be submitted by e-mail attachment to Milo Nikolic (workshop.memorial@gmail.com) by February 15, 2013 with a response by the last week of February.

The applicant must be a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, pursuing graduate or post-doctoral studies, and have a clear need to work in Greece.

The Fellow’s research focus may be any aspect of Hellenic studies, from ancient to mediaeval, and in any academic discipline, but preference will be given to a candidate working in the field of Classical to Hellenistic Greek sculpture. In any subsequent publication of the research work done  under the auspices of this fellowship, the recipient will acknowledge both the Canadian Institute in Greece and The Neda and Franz Leipen Fellowship.

The Fellow will receive a stipend of $8,000 and free accommodations in the CIG hostel for the period of the fellowship.

CAERE PROJECT 2013
EXCAVATION OF AN ETRUSCAN CITY IN CENTRAL ITALY

From: Fabio Colivicchi

Cerveteri is a town on the West coast of Italy, 48 km North of Rome, which lies on the site of the Etruscan city of Cisra, called Caere by the Romans. Caere was one of the metropoleis of the ancient Mediterranean, a rich and powerful city which was an ally of Carthage and developed good relationships with its southern neighbors the Romans. The site is famous for its necropolis of rock-cut tombs imitating houses complete with carved furniture and decorations, recently listed among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Many of the most famous Etruscan artworks, such as the Sarcophagus of the Spouses, were found in the tombs of Caere. While the cemetery has early attracted scholarly attention, the exploration of the city has begun much later. Though some sanctuaries are known, the general plan of the city is still largely unknown.

The team of the Queen’s University will continue the investigation a religious compound in the centre of the city, the so-called “hypogeum of Clepsina” consisting of an underground room with frescoes, sketches and inscriptions, and a network of corridors and stairways. This has been identified as the cult place of the ancestors of the community and the seat of rituals dealing with its foundation and its destiny, also including divination. The orientation of the complex may depend on Etruscan religious and cosmological beliefs, which might have determined, or at least conditioned, the master plan of the whole city. The excavation will also investigate the urban area near the hypogeum, where a regular urbanization pattern is coming to light.

Field activities will include classes on Etruscan and Roman archaeology, field methods of archaeology, field conservation, and other topics of interest. During weekends daytrips to Rome and to Etruscan and Roman sites and museums of the region will be organized.

Participants can either enrol into the full-credit course CLST 409 Archaeology Fieldwork Practicum or the graduate course CLAS 809 or join as volunteers. Non-Queen’s students may ask for credit transfer.

Program dates: May 11th – June 8th, 2013

Contact person: Dr. Fabio Colivicchi colivicf@queensu.ca

For additional information see the excavation website www.caeresite.com or the Departmental website www.queensu.ca/classics/matera.html

2013 ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELD SCHOOL IN ITALY
AT SAN FELICE

From: Hans vanderLeest

The 2013 Archaeological Field School at San Felice in southern Italy will allow students the opportunity to learn archaeological techniques through participation as part of a research team that is excavating a Roman villa that appears to have been part of an imperial estate lying on the Via Appia in Roman Apulia. The villa lies on the slope of a hill overlooking part of the estate that held a small settlement and cemetery. A team from Mount Allison University and St. Mary's University has been excavating parts of the villa since 2005, uncovering a variety of rooms and corridors with their associated artefacts. We will continue to excavate this year in order to understand the villa and its role within the imperial estate. Students will gain experience in excavating and recording on site, and is working with recovered remains in the dig house and the museum.

This year’s season will run from 30 June – 5 August. The cost of $2000 (Canadian) covers a student’s accommodations and food (except for weekend travel), program and equipment costs for the field school, and local transportation to and from the site. This fee is exclusive of airfare and tuition for one or two three credit courses (offered by Mount Allison University). Students who do not wish the credits may still participate by auditing one course.  In addition students are responsible for the costs of any travel they undertake in Italy. There are no prerequisites for the field school, and students from any discipline will be considered.

Anyone interested should contact Dr. Hans vanderLeest (jvanderleest@mta.ca). Consideration of applicants for the field school will begin early in February, with places being offered to students starting before the end of February and continuing until all places are filled.
