The BIAA, along with the UCL Institute of Archaeology and the British School at Athens, is co-hosting a panel discussion with Professor Susan Sherratt, Dr Naoise Mac Sweeney, Dr Andrew Shapland, and Dr Eva Mol.

Archaeology is just one of the many disciplines that have approached an understanding of the site of Troy and the events in its history. In some ways, it occupies an awkward position between the myth and the reality of the site. What is the role of archaeology in the modern consumption of Troy? Do archaeologists just look on from the side-lines? This panel discussion will explore these issues in a frank and open manner.

This event is free to attend and no registration is necessary. The panel debate will be followed by a wine reception.
