Hello! My name is Emma and I'm an Art History major at UVic.

My intrest in Art History lies in ancient middle eastern art, after taking a few classes in my faculty on the subject it was clear that most of the art from that time period was found in graves. Most of my papers and research focused on graves and I imagine that going forward I am going to run into the same thing. With all of this considered, taking a class on how to understand the dead in archaeological terms seemed like a good idea.

So far this class has been better that I expected, reading Funeral of a Rus' was interesting and perplexing. If the rest of the class is as good as the first week I'm extremely excited for the rest of the term.
