Welcome to the Brown Bag Series in Archaeology!

The Brown Bag series is intended to stimulate the sharing and discussion of current work in archaeology undertaken by graduate students and faculty at Brown University. Speakers give presentations on their current archaeological interests or dissertation research and take questions from the audience in an informal setting. The development and maturation of ideas is the goal, and anyone interested in archaeology is invited to attend. Lunch will be provided, so please come, eat, and enjoy the experience!

Thursdays 12-1 PM
Room 203 in the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World (70 Waterman Street)

Questions or comments can be sent to Cecelia Weiss or Carolyn Swan at:
