Same lecture. They will like Dr. Rainville. I go to all the lectures at UNCA, which is usually 5 or 6 each year. We always take the lecturer to dinner at the Cafe on the Square prior to the meeting. |

Hey, my archaeologist friends are taking Dr. Rainville out to dinner tonight! Small world! She is, in fact, lecturing at Duke tonight on urban life in Assyrian cities. 5:30, I think, is the time. Unfortunately I couldn't make it.
Do you go to many of the UNCA AIA lectures? (How's that for acronyms?  ) I think the usual track is for speakers to go from UNCA to UNC-Chapel Hill (my neck of the woods) or Duke. |

You live in NC, right? I was at a AIA lecture in Asheville last night and UNCA. The speaker is going on to Duke next. I think they have a chapter in Greensboro, too. It's worth looking in to.
So we take the speaker, Dr. Lynn Rainville, out to dinner at the Cafe on the Square which is a really nice place in the restaurant district in the center of town. It turned out that she also does research on 19th century cemeteries. We were talking about how to identify collapsed graves and how bodies decay, when someone observes that nobody but a archaeologist would be sitting in one of the nicer restaurants in Asheville drinking wine and talking about that kind of subject. |

The AIA is one of the most respected (and scholarly) archaeological institutes in the country. I'm only familiar with their programs in Classical archaeology, but their American projects are undoubtedly excellent opportunities too. |
