Congratulations to this year's winner of AIA Ottawa's Fieldwork Incentive Fellowship - Maria Paula Leon Garcia! A student at Carleton University, Maria will be embarking shortly for Italy to work on the Gabii Project.

Gabii was a renowned city in Roman times and is said to be where Rome's mythical founder Romulus, and his brother Remus, were educated. We wish Maria the best with her fieldwork this summer.
