Classically trained Archaeologist working at the AMNH

Charles R.

I am an archaeologist working at the Museum of Natural History. Gradated from Providence College in May of 2016 with a degree in History and Classics, I have excavated or been involved with archaeological sites in Greece, Italy, Oklahoma, Maine, and Georgia. I was awarded my schools award for excellence in classical languages at graduation! I have a love for the natural world, the history of those who inhabit it, and how they express themselves. I hope to be able to share what I have learned with everyone!

I have conducted fieldwork in Greece, Italy, Oklahoma, Maine, and Georgia, I have helped lead excavation trenches, and I have a proficiency in the function and necessity of the tools of the trade and why they matter to the next generation of curious people. I am currently working at the Nels Nelson North American Archaeology Lab at the Museum of Natural History.

I have studied Latin for eight years, starting in High School, I was one of the few majors in Classics at my alma mater to complete his degree, and was subsequently awarded the Aaronson Award for excellence in Classical Languages, specifically Latin. I used my time outside of class to establish a Spoken Latin group at Providence College with the connections my adviser had from his time at Harvard.

I graduated at the top 10% of my class with a history degree at Providence College, with a 3.88 in the major. I have studied Classical History (Greece, Ancient Rome, the Near East), Egyptian History, and the History of Archaeology, as well as American Colonial History, Public history, and contemporary American social history.

I encourage students to contact me to learn more and schedule lessons! I have very flexible hours that Saturday morning to Tuesday evening!
