We -- Fred Hiebert, Owen Doonan, Alex Gantos, and other archaeologists -- have only
just arrived here at the Black Sea. It's our third
field season of the Black Sea
Project. The real work will begin July 1; for now we're busy planning our schedules and testing our
new digital equipment.
Meanwhile, bookmark this page: Starting July 1, we'll
be sending daily reports of each day's progress, along with
photos, directly to this website. You'll be able to take part in our work as it happens.
This is the Museum's first venture on a virtual
expedition, and we're very excited. Just think: if we
discover something, you'll be the first to know.
Be sure to check our journal every day. Use the "Day" links in the lefthand frame to view each day's entry,
or click on our names to send us a message. No matter what corner of the world you're calling from, we'd like to hear from you.
--more later, dinner's ready.
