Parrhasian Heritage Park Field School Celebrates 10thAnniversary

In commemoration of the 10th Anniversary of the Parrhasian Heritage Park Field School, The Parrhasian Heritage Foundation of Tucson, in collaboration with the Association of Cultural Heritage Consultants (ESDIAPOK) in Athens, and under the auspices of the Department of History–Archaeology, University of Patras, has organized a series of lectures during 2020–2021 to host leading scholars and professionals from across the globe, specializing in the field of Heritage Management. The series focuses on the methods and approaches to protecting the cultural and natural landscapes in the Mediterranean and the world, their values, and surrounding communities. The virtual lectures are open to everyone and they aim to provide a public platform where speakers will share their experiences and knowledge with all those interested in heritage management practice.

The second speaker in the series was Dr. Krysta Ryzewski of the Department of Anthropology at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. A historical and contemporary archaeologist with more than 20 years of experience conducting archaeological research in the Caribbean and the United States, Dr. Ryzewski’s scholarship focuses on understanding the social pressures, systemic inequalities and environmental changes that accompanied the development of Caribbean settlements and late modern-post industrial North American cities. The lecture took place on March 23, 2021, from Athens via Zoom. (Anthro News Digest date: 03/26/2021)
