The UMMAA Brown Bag Lecture Series is pleased to present the first lecture of the fall 2023 semester on Thursday, September 21, 12-1 p.m. Please join us for "UMMAA in the Field:Lightning Talks from Graduate Student Field Projects," in the School of Education Building, Room 2327, 610 E. University Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI. 

In 2023, UMMAA parachuted their graduate students to different parts of the world armed only with a blunt aged trowel and a notebook to print their memories and findings in distant lands. The goal is a journey to the human past in the hands of tenacious young archaeologists eager to cross mountains, sail the Mediterranean, and reach the arid Levant for pieces of information embedded in modest debris forgotten in the ground. Some students have made it home and want to share the diversity of their findings, stories with local stakeholders, and plans for their following research stage. Featuring: Matthew Brown, Jhon Cruz, Soren Frykholm, Drosos Kardulias, and Kara Larson.

The Museum’s Brown Bag Lecture Series is free and open to the public.
