 Dr. Eleni Hasaki delivered the 2013 C. Densmore Curtis  Distinguished
 Lecture at Bryn Mawr College on April 12. Her lecture was entitled "From

 and she led a graduate seminar focused on the transmission of craft 
 knowledge in ancient Mediterranean crafts. 



 The C. Densmore Curtis Distinguished Lecture is an annual event
 established in 1977 so that the graduate students of the Department of
 Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology could invite a prominent scholar
 to Bryn Mawr College to deliver a public talk and then lead a seminar for
 the graduate students. C. Densmore Curtis was an archaeologist with an
 interest in a wide range of ancient cultures. He received his BA from
 Pomona College, his MA from the University of Colorado, and his Ph.D.
 from Columbia University in 1908. He was a member of the American
 Expedition for the Excavation of Cyrene, Tripoli, and a Fellow, Lecturer,
 and Professor of Archaeology at the American Academy in Rome as well
 as Editor of the Academy Publications.
