Professor Shoemaker gave a lecture on the history of monasticism in Egypt and Palestine.  This lecture provided an important seque for the student's research projects, as well as to many of the archaeological sites visited.  Prof. Shoemaker also joined the group on their visit to Byzantine period mosaics near the École Biblique, introduced by the current Armenian patriarchate.
