Archaeology In Ireland

Wittenberg Student Studies At Irish Archaeological Field School

Caitlin Lobl 鈥16, from Springfield, Ohio, was selected to participate in The Black Friary Community Project summer session in County Meath, Ireland after receiving the Nancy L Benco Archaeological Research Fund scholarship. Lobl has been excavating the buried remains of a 13th Century Dominican Friary while receiving college credit from the Irish Archaeological Field School. The session runs from Jul. 19-Aug. 22.

Lobl was accepted to the program based on recommendations from Professor and Chair of History and Director of Archaeology Darlene L. Brooks Hedstrom, and because of her demonstrated leadership as the assistant field director at Wittenberg鈥檚 Nearby Archaeology program. Brooks Headstrom said Lobl has impressed program coordinators at the dig and expects her to return to the program next summer. Brooks Hedstrom also plans to visit the program herself in hopes of cultivating a long-term relationship between Wittenberg and the Irish Archaeological Field School.

Lobl first received the Wittenberg Department of History鈥檚 Nancy L Benco Archaeological Research Fund scholarship 2014 and participated in digs in the Chesapeake Region for the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, N.C., at Jefferson鈥檚 Monticello excavation site. She told The Springfield News Sun at the time, 鈥淚 like to know the history behind things. And getting it frozen in time is what really draws me in." Lobl also participated in an archaeological dig on the site of the old Alpha Xi Delta house for Wittenberg in 2013.

Lobl is a history major with a minor in archaeology. She is a Dean鈥檚 List student, a member of Phi Alpha Theta Honor Society and a member of Mortar Board.
