Brock’s Department of Classics will celebrate Archaeology Day with a free public lecture on one of Canada\u2019s most intriguing archaeological discoveries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Archaeologist Robert Park will present \u201cDying to Explore: The Archaeology of John Franklin\u2019s Last Expedition\u201d at the University’s main campus on Sunday, Oct. 21 \u2014 the day following Archaeology Day \u2014 at 3 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

Park, Professor of Anthropology and Associate Dean of Arts at University of Waterloo, has a special interest in the cultures of the Far North. He participated in the effort led by Parks Canada to find Franklin\u2019s lost ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. The t<\/span>wo British naval vessels were lost during Franklin’s failed expedition through the Northwest Passage in the 1840s, and were found in 2014 and 2016.<\/p>\n

Brock’s Classics Department has been partnering with the Niagara Peninsula Society of the<\/span> Archaeological Institute of America<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(AIA) to\u00a0host monthly public lectures since 1968. The series brings scholars from across North America to Brock to discuss topics related to archaeology, cultural heritage, and art and architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n

The talks are held Sundays at 3 p.m. in Brock’s South Block.<\/span><\/p>\n
