Event Details
Speakers: Richard Ehrich, PhD Candidate, Cotsen Institute of Archaeology
Dr. Hans Barnard, Cotsen Institute of Archaeology
In June 2016, Cotsen affiliates Hans Barnard and Richard Ehrich briefly visited a number of archaeological sites and museums in Wuhan, Jingzhou, Xiangyang and Suizhou in the Hubei Province in Central China. Richard is a graduate student who lived in Wuhan to conduct research for his dissertation. He will provide some background information on the sites and collections that they were able to see. He will also give a bit of insight into how it was like doing research in this region. Hans is an archaeologist who has worked in different regions of the world, but this was his first trip to China. He will discuss his first impressions of archaeological practices in China as an informed outsider.
