Thanks to the generosity of the Stanley J. Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies I had the chance to do research in Athens and Naxos from July 27 to August 7. During this time, I could visit several archaeological sites and museums, and get to know the geographical context of the archaeological remains… This offers the possibility of an interesting new line of investigation.

Many appreciate coming to Princeton to conduct their research in our Center, and we enjoy learning from these scholars as well.

The Center promotes, maintains, and enhances an intimate linkage between scholarship, higher education, and global research communities with university resources for archives, museums, and special collections. In so doing, the Center plays a critical role in advancing the study of ancient and modern Greece in a transnational, cross-disciplinary and diachronic perspective.
