"But this is a sea that patiently recreates for us scenes from the past, breathing new life into them, locating them under a sky and in a landscape that we can see with our own eyes, a landscape and sky like those of long ago. A moment's concentration or daydreaming, and that past comes back to life." Fernand Braudel, Memory and the Mediterranean Dr. Georgia Bonnny Bazemore leads Eastern Washington University's effort to excavate the Rantidi Forest site on the southwest coast of the island of Cyprus. These excavations began in 1995 and continue to provide fascinating insights into the relgious life of the ancient Mediterranean and early Cypriote writing systems. She will be leading a team to Cyprus in the summer of 2009. |
