My first day in Trout River, Newfoundland: ROM biologists arrive, town is curious
As I stare out my window I can see the sunlight’s reflection on the mountains and after a busy day I am finally getting the chance to reflect on how fortunate I am to be here. This is the opportunity I had been waiting for since my graduation from the Environmental Visual Communications program
Ma première journée à Trout River (Terre-Neuve): l'arrivée des biologistes du ROM pique la curiosité des villageois
En regardant par la fenêtre, j’aperçois le reflet du soleil sur les montagnes. Après une journée fatigante, je me rends enfin compte de la chance que j’ai d’être ici. J’attends une occasion pareille depuis que j’ai terminé mon programme de communication visuelle de

The Monastery of St Moses, Syria: Introduction
Deir Mar Musa, or the Monastery of St. Moses, can be found about 90 km north of Damascus in the desert Qalamoun Mountains, isolated between the road from Damascus to Homs/Hama/Aleppo and the road from Damascus to Palmyra-Tadmor. The nearest town is al-Nabk, or Nebek, 10.4 miles or 6.5 km to the
The Monastery of St Moses, Syria: The Pottery
Despite there being almost 1,400 years of occupation at Deir Mar Musa, strangely the overwhelming majority of the pottery found at the site can be assigned to the "Mamluk" period. The period of Mamluk rule in Greater Syria (1260-1516) generally reflects an archaeological horizon that
The Monastery of St Moses, Syria: The Frescoes
A report on Deir Mar Musa would not be complete without an account of the frescoes. Others have done most of the work studying these paintings, but my architectural study of the monastery buildings has certainly provided important informaton about the rationale for the last phase of frescoes (for
