Mediterranean Archaeology Research Day: Ancient Lycia
Saturday 23rd November 2013
Eleanor Rathbone Building,University of Liverpool

(See [www.liv.ac.uk] for maps and directions)

Lycia is one of the most beautiful yet enigmatic regions of
the ancient world,famous for its striking tomb
architecture,distinctive mountain culture and largely un-deciphered
local script. In the first of a series of Mediterranean Archaeology
Research Days,we bring together a group of international scholars
working on different aspects of ancient Lycian culture to share and
discuss their work on this little-known region of the classical world.

Aimed at researchers,learners and the general public,this day consists
of lively illustrated lectures on all aspects of current international
research into ancient Lycia,including its landscape, prehistory,
pottery,inscriptions and history. There will also be stimulating
hands-on demonstrations and display stands during the lunch break.

This event has been generously sponsored by Peter Sommer Travels. The
price includes refreshments and lunch.
