December is the time of year when I am able to think (more) about the upcoming summer. Classes are over and although I still have several exams and term papers to correct, the finish line is in view... The 2010 season at Porolissum will be very interesting...
The dates of PFP VI 2010 are set: June 19-July 31, 2010. I've decided to extend the season by a week - 6 rather than 5 weeks. There is always so much to do and we are pushing to publish our first monograph by the end of 2010! This means that the participants will have a role in helping to prepare this volume in addition to the regular activities of excavation, mapping the trenches and so forth. I am especially excited that several of my John Cabot University students (past and present) are planning to join us.
I am also excited by the prospect that a volume I have been editing, "The Roman Empire and Beyond", is nearly prepared and should also be published by the end of the year.
More to come when final exams are corrected...
