  • Cypriote Museum evacuation drill in the Brock News

    Thursday, December 06, 2018 | By

    Alison Innes from the Brock News covers a simulated evacuation drill in the Department’s Cypriote Museum, staged as part of Elizabeth Greene’s Archaeological Ethics class (CLAS 4P28 / 5V28).

    “When natural disaster or military conflict strikes, irreplaceable cultural heritage is put at risk.

    Conflicts in Afghanistan and Syria, as well as September’s fire at the Brazil National Museum, are just a few recent examples of events that have caused cultural workers and community volunteers to mobilize in an effort to rescue irreplaceable artifacts.

    Brock Classics students got a taste of the work involved in a museum evacuation during a simulation run Friday, Nov. 30 by internationally-recognized expert Brian Daniels.”

  • Archaeology and Makerspace in the Brock News

    Tuesday, November 27, 2018 | By

    Check out the Brock News’ feature on Carrie Murray’s innovative use of Makerspace in CLAS 2P32 (Introduction to Archaeology).

    “The 3D printing of real archaeological artifacts brings a new dimension of experiential learning to our Art and Archaeology courses in the Classics Department,” [Murray] said. “Students are researching artifacts from major international museums that have been 3D scanned and made available online. We will be printing one or more of the artifact replicas that the students propose in order to increase the experiential education opportunities in other Classics courses.”

    Makerspace technology enhances student experiences
