Experiential Learning Workshop: Nubian Archaeology (In person only)

An in-person, three-session workshop at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures that teaches practical archaeological skills focused on Nubia, a region that remains comparatively understudied. Meeting Saturdays from August 1 through August 15, 1 to 3 PM, participants build skills in analyzing archaeological data, drawing pottery, and using basic GIS, then visit the museum’s special exhibition and Nubian Gallery to examine objects on display. Instructors include Debora Heard, a PhD candidate in anthropology at UChicago, and other ISAC-affiliated specialists. Pricing ranges from $25 to $75 depending on affiliation, with a certificate of completion available after all three classes. The workshop is not recorded and held in the La Salle Banks Room in the ISAC basement.
