     Hello everyone! My name is Michelle Marohnic and I am from Weston, Florida. I am majoring in International Affairs and Latin American and Caribbean Studies, with minors in History and Anthropology. This is my first time taking an anthropology/ archeology class, therefore I only have some basic knowledge of both subjects. Anthropology is, from my limited knowledge, the study of how humans and culture have developed through the centuries. Archeology is the use of physical materials left by humans to piece together the past. I chose to take this course in London because there is such rich history here, stored in some of the best museums, and I wanted to be able to access that history while spending time in a cultural capital of the world. 

     I am really looking forward to studying the Roman bath house and amphitheater; I was recently listening to a podcast about the history of Great Britain and learned how the involved the Romans were in British history. I am also looking forward to the Mexico exhibit that we will be visiting because Latin America has been my main area of focus throughout my college career.

  1. Hi Michelle. Share that podcast here with us too. You are going to love the Mexican exhibits at The British Museum. I also suggest going to the V&A and checking out their ceramics exhibit.
