Please forward on London archaeological email lists to which you have access and publicise otherwise. Best wishes, Neil Faulkner * CRISIS IN GREEK ARCHAEOLOGY * *STOP THE CUTS* *RESTORE DEMOCRACY* 6.30pm, Tuesday 24 April Room 612, Institute of Archaeology , Gordon Square , London *Despina Koutsoumba and Fotios Georgiadis* *Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Civil Servants Union* * * *Tansy Hoskins , Greece Solidarity Campaign* * * *Chair: Gabriel Moshenska, Institute of Archaeology* Greek archaeological heritage is in danger. Greek archaeological services are being destroyed by austerity cuts. These cuts are being imposed by an unelected government at the behest of the ‘Troika’ – the IMF, the EU, and the ECB – in the interests of the international banks. Greek archaeologists Despina Koutsoumba and Fotios Georgiadis will outline the crisis. Tansy Hoskins will introduce the Greek solidarity film made earlier this year by the Coalition of Resistance. The meeting will then be open for full discussion of the crisis, the implications, and alternatives. This meeting has been called by archaeologists active in the Coalition of Resistance (www.coalitionofresistance.org) and the Greece Solidarity Campaign (website under construction) in response to the International Appeal of the Association of Greek Archaeologists (www.sea.org.gr and see attached). -- Umberto Albarella Department of Archaeology University of Sheffield Northgate House West Street Sheffield S1 4ET United Kingdom Telephone: (+) 44 (0) 114 22 22 943 Fax: (+) 44 (0) 114 27 22 563 http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/archaeology/people/albarella For MSc in Osteoarchaeology see: http://www.shef.ac.uk/archaeology/postgraduate/masters/courses-available/osteoarchaeology For Zooarchaeology short course see: http://www.shef.ac.uk/archaeology/research/zooarchaeology-lab/short-course For Archaeologists for Global Justice (AGJ) see: http://agj.group.shef.ac.uk/ "only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught we will realise we cannot eat money"
