Trent 50 Archaeology Symposium

• October 25, 2014 : 8:45 AM - 5:00 PM

In celebration of Trent University’s 50th Anniversary, the Trent University Archaeological Research Centre is hosting Trent @ 50 Archaeology Symposium, a day-long event featuring distinguished Trent alumni in Gzowski College room 117, starting at 8:45 a.m.

“Anthropology is one of the founding departments at Trent University and the 50th anniversary seemed the ideal time to invite some of our distinguished anthropology graduates back home to Trent, to share their exciting research with Trent and Peterborough,” said Dr. Jocelyn Williams, director, Trent University Archaeological Research Centre.

Presentations will cover a wide variety of research areas from the discovery of the Franklin shipwreck by Dr. Douglas Stenton ’80, director of heritage for the Government of Nunavut, to Dr. Ross Jamieson ’85 speaking to the colonial heritage of Ecuador, to Dr. Lisa Rankin ’91 discussion about nature and extent of the complex interactions between the Southern Inuit and Europeans in Labrador.

The Symposium is free and members of the community are encouraged to attend. For a full list of speakers and presentations, please visit trentu.ca/tuarc

The Trent @ 50 Archaeology Symposium is proudly sponsored the Bagnani Trust, the Vice-President Strategic Initiative Fund, and Trent University Archaeological Research Centre.
