The Rockford Society, Archaeological Institute of America, invites the public to its next free,
in-person, multi-media presentation on archaeology, on Tuesday, April 23, at Burpee Museum of Natural History.

Please join us for a fascinating presentation featuring award-winning Professor Brian Rose of the University of Pennsylvania, who will present the results of excavations at Troy for the last 24 years, examining all phases of habitation from the Bronze Age through the Byzantine period. Dr. Rose will also consider the relationship between recent discoveries and the Homeric tradition. The event will feature an opportunity to meet the speaker after his presentation.

The public is invited to a free reception held immediately following each in-person presentation. Burpee Museum is handicapped-accessible and offers free parking. Additional free parking is also available next door at the Riverfront Museum Park, 711 N. Main Street, Rockford.

The Rockford Society provides additional information on lectures, events, trips, and archaeological topics on the web at www.rockfordaia.org.
