Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Eyo was integral to the rebuilding or construction of twelve national museums in Nigeria, including those of Benin City; Oron; Owo; Kaduna; Kano; the Old Residency, Calabar; the War Museum, Umuahia; and the Museum of Colonial History, Aba. Anxious over what I assumed could only be a test of my grad student bona fides- 1 mean, really, aren't all questions of new grad students thinly veiled attempts to probe our academic mettle? - I nervously blathered something stupid about doing lots of research in the library of course. Prof decided that his students should visit some of the sites before we settled into our archaeological work at Calabar, so we went to the Osogbo artists' community, and Benin City, and Ue-Ife, among other places.
