Memories

Aggregation in the Faculty of Arts of the University of Porto in 1989. We call "aggregation" in Portugal the last public evaluation of a teacher by his/her peers, consisting of 2 sessions (in 2 different days): discussing of the curriculum vitae, discussion of the report presented by the candidate about one of the courses that he/she gives, and the presentation of a lecture of 1 hour. This lecture is commented critically by one of the members of the jury. In my case, it was Prof. Martin Almagro-Gorbea, Universidad Complutense, Madrid. The lecture (about Western Europe passage graves) was published in my Faculty's journal and later included in a book.
In the photo, my friend the archaeologist Manuela Delgado is speaking with me and in the background there is my father, Joaquim Jorge.
