Transdisciplinary Research and Educational Outreach
We assemble data from many areas of science to illuminate human developments in Euro/Levantine prehistory and the story of Western Civilization. Our goal is to bring credible evidence from antiquity to meaningful purpose in the present, and to facilitate a wider perspective for 21st-century professionals.
