For some thirty years archaeologist John Tidmarsh has been involved in excavations in many countries throughout the Middle East. While this period has seen his work and that of his colleagues bring to light the remains of civilizations that have previously been only poorly understood, it has also witnessed the tragic destruction of ancient sites and cities through revolution and war in both Syria and, currently, Iran.
John Tidmarsh is an archaeologist who has conducted excavations in Syria, Jordan, Greece, and Cyprus. He is currently Co-Director of the University of Sydney excavations at Pella in Jordan and Co-Director of the Australian Mission to Jebel Khalid, Syria. His main interests are in the art, archaeology and history of Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic period in the east and in the Islamic World. His book on the Hellenistic and Early Roman periods at Pella in Jordan was published in 2024.
This lecture will be delivered at the TAASA AGM. Light refreshments will be served.
