International Archaeology Day (IAD) is a celebration of archaeology and its contributions to society.

Join us for International Archaeology Day at UVA, as we also celebrate the exhibition Egypt and Nubia in Africa featuring original artifacts from Giza, Thebes, Abydos, Meroe dating back from 3800 BCE.

This presentation reports on work in progress that investigates how Byzantine societies responded to seismic shocks by repairing, adapting, or reconstructing aqueducts, cisterns, and related infrastructures.
