Faculty and Student Awards
Faculty Award Winner - Dr. Elizabeth Greene
Elizabeth Greene has been awarded a Major ADF New Research and Scholarly Initiative Award for the project "The Vindolanda Field School and Research Excavation". Dr. Greene will take eight Western students this summer to take part in excavation and research on the site of Vindolanda, a UNESCO world heritage site in northern England near Hadrian's Wall. The field school is co-directed by Dr. Alexander Meyer, also on the Classics faculty at Western, and they work with a team of professional archaeologists from The Vindolanda Trust. The excavation focuses on an area of the Roman military fort which has not previously been explored. The excavations seek to elucidate the earliest periods of occupation on this Roman military site, while training students in archaeological field methods and the history of Roman Britain.
