Photo report: Among archaeologists
Archaeologists are, almost by definition, caught in the no-man’s land between the hidden and the public, the concealed and the visible. The Groningen Institute of Archaeology (GIA) of the University of Groningen has a very good reputation internationally, and its degree programme has been known as the best in the Netherlands for years. But where is the institute located? And, even if you know, what goes on behind the walls, in the cellars and in the attic of those monumental buildings surrounding the University Library? What happens in that somewhat atypical department of the Faculty of Arts? Digging, polishing, restoring, drawing, researching... This photo report gives you a look behind the scenes of the extraordinary and fascinating work at the Institute of Archaeology. Photos by Hesterliena Wolthuis.
