Each student was required to prepare a presentation for a site to be visited during the summer, assigned during the first week of class.  The presentation included a handout of the archaeological reconstruction/site plan, an overview of the temporal significance of the site, and highlights of the Byzantine occupation.  Each student was then required to write a 2-3 page description about the site for inclusion in the Archaeology component of the Byzantine St. Stephen's web site.  Each summer, new sites will be added to the field trip program to enhance this educational component of the web site.

Your text, photos taken at the site, site plan, and brief bibliography will be compiled into a web page of Byzantine monastic sites for the Archaeology segment of the Byzantine St. Stephen's web site.  You will be given complete credit for your work.

Be sure to have site plan for each classmate available when we visit the site (also have copies for the TAs and profs involved with the visit).  You will give a 10-15 minute overview of the location when we get to the site.  If there are particular features you would like photographed for the web page while visiting the site, please feel free to make recommendations during the visit.
