Images from Seasons 1 and 2
Two groups of select Bucknell students have enjoyed the opportunity of participating in the excavation at the Ismenion Hill in Thebes during the summers of 2011 and 2012. They have worked directly alongside the Primary Investigators, Bucknell professors Kevin Daly and Stephanie Larson, who also work together with their Greek colleagues from the 9th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities and the 23rd Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities.
