The option to go anywhere around the world was very limited to me growing up resulting in having an “American” view of other countries despite being bi-culture in both my home and my community. Going anywhere around the world was a dream for me as I wanted...

During my first week of work, I was surprised by what tasks were the hardest. Carrying rocks can be difficult, but I found that moving wheelbarrows and emptying them is harder and more tiring. I was also surprised by the top layer of soil, I had imagined it looking...

I think it would be cool to see the Great Bath because I would like to see the mosaic, despite it not being very well preserved. It blows my mind that so much of a structure can survive for so long. One thing I would like to do in Gazipasa before the dig starts is...

One place at the dig site I am really excited to see is the Great Bath complex. I would love to see what remains of the mosaic floors, especially in the apse, since Hoff mentions that it was particularly preserved when it was uncovered in excavations. I think that...

I am writing this the night before our departure, hoping that I have not forgotten some crucial element of the visa application that will make it impossible for me to participate in the internship. I am reading a little more about the research performed on the site up...

It’s difficult to pick just one thing that I want to see on-site, as I really want to see all of it. That being said, I think the thing that intrigued me the most in the readings was the explanation surrounding the honorific inscriptions that decorate some of...

Two places that really caught my attention in the readings are the colonnades and the great bath. At the time of Hoff’s writing, he mentioned that the colonnades were being restored, and seeing a free-standing column would be really cool (though I’m not...

As there are a lot of things/objects/places that are fascinating to look at/research on the grounds of Antiochia, nothing compares to my excitement to see the Kragos Cliff overseas. Not only did it kick-start the name and foundation of the city by the Roman empire,...

Speaking to future participants, there’s a lot of advice I have to offer. I was reflecting about this with Annabel even before the internship was over, and we talked about how different our experiences have been than what we expected. To begin with, expect to work...
