December 8, 2023: Open House for undergraduate students at the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology (UCLA)

On December 8, 2023 the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA held an Open House for undergraduate students interested in pursuing an advanced degree in archaeology.
The Mesopotamian Lab welcomed several individuals during the Open House and introduced them to the ancient city of Urkesh. They were able to examine field books, look at photos of the site and even explore the “Urkesh Global Record” (UGR).
The most surprising thing for most of them was the breadth of the project – that it continues with vibrancy in so many ways even though there are no current excavations.
Maybe we will see some of these proto-archaeologists again in the future [text by Mary Stancavage.]
