Some time has passed...

It was recently brought to my attention that this little blog hadn't been updated in, well, a long time.
So here's the update!
It's 2007 now (what?!) and my time here is drawing to a close *sniff*. Ellen, our Assistant Curator, is off in Bonn for the semester, leaving me and Adam to tend to the lab. We have our new freshman, Molly, spending more time here and getting a chance to see how things run (it's rather slow right now so unfortunately there isn't much to see...).
In antiquities news, we have new stuff! Why not head over to the main site and check it out?
We have a stunning Apulian Hydria, a very sexy Babylonian plaque, a wooden figure from an Egyptian tomb model and a variety of smaller items such as bowls and pottery bits and pieces. Photos of the larger items are already up, and the smaller items will be up soon!

Long Overdue

So it's been a fair bit since the last update. Put the blame squarely on schedules, breaks and a rather frustrating series of events that were the result of a server-wide security modification. Luckily, we are back up and running as of today, so the updates will be coming at a more steady rate. We have lots of new artifacts to add to our galleries.
Current updates:
Fr. Fulco's new and improved CV (for inquiring minds)
Publication list (for adventures in reading)

More to come shortly!

Event change!

Due to the fact that we all forgot Monday was a holiday and therefor no work was done, the Faculty & Staff Open House has been moved to next Friday, Jan. 27. Same time, same place! :)

-The Management

Events and such

A Happy New Year and Merry first week of school to everybody! Yes, it's been much too long without a proper update...but that will be no more due to my lovely new schedule this semester. Here's a quick list of some of our upcoming department events:

Jan. 20- Faculty/Staff Open House 4pm
Feb. 16- Indiana Jones Marathon Time TBD
March 16- Roman Feast! Time and location TBD
April 8- 3rd Annual Symposium

Keep an eye out for our annual Dionysus Festival and for the new Olympic Games!

Also, there will be some new photos in the next coming days/weeks as there are several of some of our newer artifacts that never quite made it to the website :)

New items

Hooray for new acquisitions! We have 3 new items to add to our collection...and hopefully our website depending on how quickly things get processed/catalogued/photographed.
*ahem*
We have: a silver fibula, another key ring, and a cute little clay vessel that looks like it could have been used for an ink pot (initial speculation based on odd dark coloration)
Next update won't be til later next week, as this weekend+Monday and Tuesday is mid-semester break!

Explore Clifford!

Check out the newly-created page dedicated to our favorite cat mummy, Clifford! It's full of fun x-rays so you can take a look inside Clifford and see beneath the layers of linen and resin.
Take a peek!

New Photos!

2 new images have been added to the New Kingdom Gallery and our Course Offerings section has gotten a bit of a face lift.
Enjoy!
