The Department of Nestorian Studies is looking forward to the continuation of the Ilibalik excavation this summer, as well as other projects. Head of Department Kevin White has been in Salzburg for a doctoral seminar, a conference, research, as well as lecturing. He was able to meet with Dr. Peter Zieme and the faculty of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and present at the Freie University of Berlin. There are incredible discoveries coming to light which indeed show a very rich, though lost, history in the territory of modern Kazakhstan. The Department of Nestorian Studies remains committed to serving Kazakhstan and the scholarly community by helping to develop infrastructure to facilitate research and development of this lost history.
