Dr. Maureen Marshall working with students in the village of Tsaghkahovit
Dr. Marshall conducted her PhD research in Armenia under the auspices of Project ArAGATS, receiving her degree from the University of Chicago Department of Anthropology in 2014. Upon completion, she was eager to return the results of her work back to the communities in Armenia where we work. In her workshop, Dr. Marshall was joined by two other members of The Aragats Foundation, Dr. Lori Khatchadourian and Dr. Ian Lindsay.
The 2014 workshop in Tsaghkahovit was an important first step in our mission of promoting an engaged archaeology that brings the benefits of research directly back to the communities that live amidst Armenia’s extraordinary ancient heritage. The Aparan Heritage Center, when it is a reality, will become a center for teaching heritage to communities throughout the region.
