Book Sale and Cake Sale

Do you have books gathering dust at home? Give them a new home! Consider donating your old books to this year’s charity book sale, taking place during the symposium May 20-21. You can find donation boxes in the Archaeology coffee room or near the reception desk at Avenue Campus, building 65.

If you like baking and love showing off your creations consider baking a cake for the PGRAS bake sale! If you would like to make something email us at pgrsymposium@gmail.com, just so we don’t end up with 10 different types of banana bread.

All profits from the book and bake sale go to supporting the local refugee support service Southampton and Winchester Visitors Group. http://swvg-refugees.org.uk/public/

I am a PhD student at the University of Southampton. My research is focused on Ostia, considering the sacrality of urban landscapes and how this impacted both the urban enviornment and interactions within the city. I am approaching this by attemting to reconstruct processional routes within Ostia using a variety of digital computing methods that consider how movement, visibility, and sound affected both the processional route and the wider citysape. My undergraduate degree was in English, Latin, and Medieval Studies in 2011. I then went on to recieve a MA in Classical Archaeology from the University of British Columbia (2013) as well as a second MA in Maritime Civilizations, focusing on maritime archaeology from the University of Haifa (2014). I have experience excavating in Italy, FYROM (Macedonia), and many sites throughout Israel.
