From archaeology to cinema, Mellon grants support students' summer research

From an archaeological dig in the Republic of Macedonia to the role of music in Civil War films, Gettysburg College students will research a wide variety of topics this summer with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.  Data from ground-penetrating radar will add a new dimension to students' work with Classics Professor Carolyn Snively, whose efforts over the past decade have helped date the Macedonian site to Late Antiquity, between 1,400 and 1,700 years ago.

The dig is a cooperative project of Gettysburg College and the Museum of Macedonia in Skopje.
