Some Publicity for the Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project

We received some good publicity from an unusual corner yesterday. North Dakota State University, my university’s (the University of North Dakota) arch rival (in a playful way, mostly) down the road in Fargo put our Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project on the front page of its website. This is because Aaron Barth, a UND alumnus and current NDSU doctoral student in joint UND/NDSU Ph.D. Program in History, worked with us a as a trench supervisor.

The best part about this, is the story produced by NDSU University Relations office, which manages to minimize UND’s involvement (and funding of the project) to the extent that they don’t even quote me. Instead, they quote Aaron Barth’s advisor, Tom Isern, who is a great guy, but not really involved in the project at all.

So, the best thing to do right now, is to push tons of click-throughs to their story from this page… just to remind them.
