STUDY ABROAD IN GREECE AND TURKEY  1998

A six-week study tour with 17 students from Brevard College and Emory University,
led by Professors Anne Chapin of Brevard College, Robert Bauslaugh of Brevard College,
and Bonna Wescoat of Emory University.
 
Unless otherwise noted, all photographs are by Anne Chapin or Robert Bauslaugh.
 
Here is a photo a student presenting a report on the ancient theater 
at Ephesus where St. Paul once spoke. 
 
 
 
Excavator and archaeologist Dr. Crawford Greenwalt of UC Berkeley gives us a tour of Sardis. You can 
see the ancient Temple of Artemis in the background. 		 Students gathered for a photo op in the ancient odeion at Troy, which sits on top of the Bronze city believed to be the location of the Trojan War. 
 
 
We visited the acropolis of Pergamon, capital of a Hellenistic 
kingdom in the second century BC.  The ancient remains are 
spectacular. 
 
This is a photo of the group getting a tour of Aphrodisias, now in 
central Turkey, by archaeologist and excavator Chris Ratte. 
 
 
 
We visited Olympia, home of the ancient Olympic Games, and visited the gymnasium where athletes 
used to train. 		 A student gets a closer look at the Treasury of Atreus, a large tholos tomb at Mycenae. This structure is more  than 3000 years old, and is still standing! 
 
 
In the middle of the six week tour, we traveled to Santorini.  Not 
only is this Cycladic island extraordinarily beautiful....it is a geological 
wonder of the world, with cliffs about 1000 feet high defining a large 
caldera created by ancient volcanic eruptions.
