Example visit: 

From September 2017 to February 2018 the Centre hosted Dr Barbara Caré (University of Turin) whose research stay was funded by the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei in partnership with the British Academy. 

Barbara produced her Nottingham-based project “Bones of contention: astragali from the Sanctuary of Artemis Orthia, Sparta. A contribution in studying the role of faunal materials in ancient ritual practices”. This formed part of her interdisciplinary post-doctoral project on ritual behaviours and symbolic meanings related to astragaloi in the ancient Mediterranean.
