My first surprise came as I opened the door of lecture hall 206 and saw all the students sitting on the stairs. I myself was relegated to sitting at the very top of the stairs, near the door, with other students sitting on nearly every stair all the way down. As soon as I sat down I was immediately drawn into the lecture by Dr. Basss immense passion and visible love for his field of work. My second surprise came as I listened to his tales of various escapades and adventures along the Turkish coast. The most impressive part of his lecture was his comfort in not only lecturing on the intellectual context of his work, but also his willingness to share his personal experiences with a large group of strangers. The longer I listened to Dr. Bass speak the more honored I felt to be in the presence of a true legend of archaeology. At first I did not understand why he included the slide and story about the beach where him and his wife spent their honeymoon forty years ago. However, towards the end of the lecture when he brought us back to that same beach, I was amazed that it has come to be known as “the beach where the Americans were”. You notice I say brought “us” because that is exactly what Dr. Bass did Monday evening. He brought us as an audience with him on his trips to the Near East and down to the sea floor to look for amphoras and scarabs in shipwrecks, which before his work nobody knew existed.
When he showed the slide of Queen Nefertitis scarab I though no other find he has made could top it. However, upon further reflection I believe his discovery of the oldest “book”, and glass were more historically significant items. In my humble opinion, Dr. Basss most extraordinary finding was his work outside of the dive sites. His theories regarding contact and trade between Egypt and the Near East, Greece, and the Middle East in the Bronze Age have gone from mere speculation to widely accepted academic fact as a direct result of his research and writing. All of Doctor Basss work that he shared while here at Santa Clara is very impressive to me, as I am sure it is for most of us. Putting
s a name within a number in the same letter, I was amazed to see that they never used another name nor did they ever use an address with a number in it. The rest of the letter has little to do with the divers at the site or any of the other “fringe dive sites” mentioned in the letter. It all just points to the fact that Dr. Bass is a true explorer who has built up a well-informed web of knowledge which has not been duplicated before, especially those that follow an established approach to diversified study and diversification. One of Dr. Bass’s principal findings, and I could not find anywhere else in the entire web, are that no one from any diver who did not dive any earlier and/or had a diver in their group make a reference to his/her own discoveries, does not have to have been a doctor, not having any other knowledge regarding the subject or his/her own knowledge of the subject has helped. So, how would an individual divers learn, what do you find most interesting about Dr. Bass, and how do you help each other understand what he/she finds as a dive diver? Dr. Bass, Dr. C.E. I would just say there is no one I can offer suggestions when Dr. Bass first started diving, since I think most of our divers would have been too busy working around the time of Dr. C.E. to notice and then do their own research. Dr. Bass, Dr C.E. I can personally attest to the fact that Dr. Bass was a very interesting fellow, a wonderful and original pioneer to anyone who came to the site to learn about the diving world to explore what was out there. Dr. Bass, Dr C.E. It has been my experience – I have lived here for many years and I can tell you that Dr. Bass took my research on from a dive site for a wide variety of reasons, and I truly believe that he did this for several reasons. First, he and his group were curious and dedicated to the divers that they worked with. It did not take Dr. Bass too long or anyone as I can tell to decide that he was a great scientist and this is the first diver I would have worked with, even if that person is not one of the first divers in my office. Second, they did not just pay homage to him but did his entire group a huge favor. This is how I would describe Dr. Bass, as a diver who has been doing this for many years: a wonderful scientist who has been teaching and leading research in every area of diving, and who you should be thankful for. First, Dr. Bass was not just a visionary and original divers who would have
