Texas Tech University assistant professor of classical archeology
Hannah Friedman will present “The Roman Faynan: Local Resources vs.
Imperial Will,” at 5:35 p.m. Thursday in the College of Media &
Communication Building, Room 83. The building is located at 15th Street
and Flint Avenue.
Friedman will share her ongoing work on Roman and Byzantine Faynan, an imperial copper mining district in southern Jordan. Her lecture will focus on issues of empire and exploitation. Using the principles of landscape archaeology, her research concentrates on the landscape of the Faynan, and how the natural environment and human settlement were changed to meet the industrial needs of the Roman administration.
