The history and archaeology of Alexandria 1 (fgn)

Given the fact that on this day a symposium is taking place on the relations between Archaeology and Anthropology (with a lecture by the famous scholar Ian Hodder from Stanford who will receive an honorary doctorate from our University the next day) there is no regular class. ALL MA students in Archaeology are expected to be at the symposium; MA students in History are strongly advised to participate as well. For a program and registration see: http://archaeology.leiden.edu/organisation/board-organisation/annual/annual-2011/20th-archeologie-en-theorie-symposium-7th-of-february-2011-museum-volkenkunde-leiden.html
