Sir, I was surprised to read in the "Thursday Interview" (May 9th) of "gaps" in the teaching and perception of archaeology in Ireland. Where do classical Greek and Egyptian archaeology fit in The emphases here tends to be solely on Irish archaeology.
After more than 20 years involvement in the teaching of Greek (and Roman) archaeology in the Classics Department of UCD, not to mention a share in the running of one of the best university museums of classical archaeology in these islands, may I respectfully suggest that any lack of perception lies with your correspondent rather than several generations of UCD graduates? Yours, etc., St Luke's Crescent, Milltown, Dublin 14.
