Archaeological Field School at the Conservation Center
In advance of the summer field season, the Center annually holds an intensive week-long workshop that emphasizes the application of sound conservation methodology under less-than-ideal conditions. Coordinated by Anna Serotta, consulting conservator for the excavations at Selinunte, students participate in lectures and labs by leading archaeological conservators. Topics of discussion focus on technical, ethical and practical issues students will likely face in archaeological fieldwork in the Mediterranean. The workshop includes hands-on exercises, problem solving, and student presentations, in conjunction with directed readings and seminars. This workshop is open to students from the other graduate programs in conservation.
CORPUS OF THE INSCRIPTIONS OF CAMPĀ
The Corpus of the Inscriptions of Campā is a publication of the École française d’Extrême-Orient, realized in collaboration with the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University.

Departmental Antiquities Collection
The departmental antiquities collection consists of Cypriot, Greek, Etruscan and Roman objects collected by early chairmen of the Classics Department. It was housed on the University Heights campus for many years, until that campus was sold in 1972. It has its origins as a study collection in the early years of the twentieth century, and offers an interesting insight into the history of collecting at a particular moment of American scholarship. When the antiquities came downtown, an opportunity was provided for students to gain experience in hands-on work with Greek vases, Roman sculpture, Latin inscriptions and other types of objects. They have an opportunity to consult the computerized inventory and to work on projects connected with the collection.
