A Conversation with Professor Graeme Barker

Join us for a fascinating virtual talk featuring Professor Graeme Barker, who will delve into the ground-breaking discoveries of the Shanidar Cave Project. This international collaboration between the University of Cambridge and the Kurdistan Directorate of Antiquities has reignited exploration of this iconic archaeological site since 2015.

This talk will take place on Tuesday 11 February at 6pm on Zoom.

Professor Barker will discuss the latest findings, including the implications for our understanding of Neanderthal behaviour, burial practices and their interaction with the environment.

How to make the most of our virtual events

Find a quiet, private spaces
It’s important to find a quiet space to listen to the talk in order not to be disruptive to others while your microphone is on.

Always mute your microphone if you are not speaking
This ensures you enter the talk quietly and that any background noises that could be distracting to the speaker and other participants are now inaudible. To “mute” yourself, click the “Mute” button (microphone). A red slash will appear over the microphone icon indicating that your audio is now off.

Raise your hand
During the Q&A session, click on the icon labelled “Participants” at the bottom centre of your PC or Mac screen. At the bottom of the window on the right side of the screen, click the button labelled “Raise Hand.” Your digital hand is now raised, and the moderator will tell you when it’s your turn to ask your question.
