 New College Professor Carl Shaw is living a classicist's dream this summer: He is examining and translating 2,000-year-old papyrus fragments at museums in Oxford, Geneva and Florence.
Shaw, associate professor of Greek language and literature, received a highly competitive grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and a prestigious fellowship from the Loeb Classical Library Foundation at Harvard University.
The grants support Shaw's work on his next book, "Ancient Satyr Drama: The Texts, Translations, Documents and Visual Remains."

Sarasota's City Commission Recognizes Efforts of NCPAL
| |
 New College Professor of Anthropology Uzi Baram and his students were recognized by the City of Sarasota on June 17 for their work over several years on the Galilee Cemetery, one of two African-American owned cemeteries in the city's historic Newtown district.
After years of neglect, the grave markers and vaults had deteriorated and the Galilee Cemetery Restoration Task Force recruited Prof. Baram to document the lives of the interred.
Baram, director of the New College Public Archaeology Lab, trained students to systematically record the grave markers, which totaled more than 1,500. He documented the process and the history in the lab's research report, titled "Report on the 2010-2012 Survey of the Galilee Cemetery in Sarasota, Florida: Community, Race and Commemoration." The report is available at Sarasota public libraries.
