The Department of Art & Archaeology hosted a workshop for the Molyvoti, Thrace, Archaeological Project (MTAP) in the last week of April. Under the direction of Professor Nathan Arrington with Greek codirectors Domna Terzopoulou and Marina Tasaklaki, MTAP is a synergasia, or collaboration, of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Rhodope and the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, represented by Princeton University.  

The workshop brought together the many authors whose work will appear in the third volume on the excavation, which focuses on the House of Hermes. In attendance, along with the directors, were: Ioannis Bellas (Greek Ministry of Culture), Demetrios Brellas (Framingham State University), Elena Cuijpers (Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn), Mattia D’Acri (A&A), Nicholas Hudson (University of North Carolina, Wilmington), Jessica Lamont (Yale University), Simon Oswald (University of Massachusetts, Amherst), Maria Spathi (University of Crete), Thomas Tartaron (University of Pennsylvania), Konstantina Tsonaka (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki), and Chantel White (University of Pennsylvania).
