[I] also did the field school at Kampsville. You brought back fun memories!
You mentioned that visitors are allowed on the site. Are there specific travel tours that are available, after COVID of course.
What studies have been done on the people who lived at the site?
Was the big cave behind the hestiatorion been used for something?
Is it possible to visit this site by reservation with a guide (after travel restrictions are lifted)? I live near Modica.
What is the most expensive thing in your mind, [the thing] worth the most you have found?
Are there ways for FAU employees to travel to the site?
Hello, this is Paola, I am an art history student in Catania, do you think in future there will the possibility to visit and help you with excavations? Compliments for your great job.
Is Dr. McConnell the only scholar/FAU the only university working on this project?
Can you recommend a good history book about Sicily?
How long will Dr. McConnell be there working on this project?
Wasn't the cave the site of the oracle?
I love that ancient value, great answer. Do the old ceramics have a mineral or element we don’t normally see in today’s ceramics?
Do we know where the Sikels came from?
Is the site accessible to tourists in a guided tour format?
Do we still use the same techniques when glazing these items?
