Annually the Archaeological Institute of America hosts the biggest conference of Classical archaeologists in North America. Archaeologists from around the world attend. Presenting a paper, poster or workshop there is a true honor. This year the AIA conference was in Philadelphia during the first week in January and no fewer than six alumni participated. Congratulations to the following:
Danielle Riebe (above) (University of Illinois at Chicago), author of the poster “Signatures in Ceramics: Identifying Prehistoric Interaction through Ceramics on the Great Hungarian Plain”
