Professor Doonan has led archaeological expeditions to Sinop, Turkey since 1996.  His team has documented nearly 400 sites there, some as old as 10,000 years old.  Sinop was the most strategic port of the Black Sea.  It controlled trade routes and military access ever since its foundation as a Greek colony around 630 B.C.

Professor Doonan will speak on previous research in Sinop and on an exciting new excavation in the heart of the ancient city, proposed to start in the summer of 2013.
