Archaeology of WWII
to
Vestavia Hills Civic Center 1673 Merryvale Lane, Vestavia Hills, Alabama 35216
Every Tues in Sept OLLI presents Dr. Richard Diehl, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, UA.
From 1994 until 2014, BBC Channel 4 hosted TIME TEAM, a
program in which archaeologists and their colleagues combined
traditional techniques with the most recent innovations in
technology to solve archaeological mysteries. In this course,
we will watch eight one-hour programs on the archaeology of
WWI and WWII. The topics will include the Blitz of London,
the Normandy invasion, the remains of a downed British Spitfire
and an American B-17, the German occupation of the Isle of
Jersey, a WWI trench, and a WWI British machine gun school.
In each case, archaeology sheds new light. See Catalog www.ollibham.org
