Naomi Norman, director of the University of Georgia excavations at Carthage and editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Archaeology, will present the Classics Department's Winslow Lecture on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 4:10 p.m. in the Kennedy Auditorium (Science Center G027). Her talk, Dead Men Do Tell Tales, The Yasmina Cemetery at Carthage (Tunisia), is free and open to the public.

Norman will present the results of the excavation of the Yasmina cemetery in Carthage, which she directs. Excavation here has uncovered two magnificent funerary portrait statues, tomb monuments with intriguing figured relief panels and funerary inscriptions, and a number of interesting children's burials. Norman will place this material within its wider archaeological, social, cultural and ritual contexts by looking at other Roman cemeteries in North Africa.

Norman was a fellow of the American School of Classical Studies in Athens and is a specialist in Greek architecture and Roman Carthage. She was awarded Georgia's M. G. Michael Award for Excellence in Research and has received numerous other grants and fellowships. She has lectured and published widely and is currently writing a book on the archaeology of Carthage and editing a multi-volume publication of the Carthage excavations. Her particular interests include mortuary archaeology, the archaeology of space/place and the archaeology of the Hellenistic world.
