Jean-Pierre Armand: Sifting sand

摘要

It's a long time since French oncologist Jean-Pierre Armand was working on an archeological dig in Greece (as a pre-clinical medical student, he found the summer breaks the most interesting part). Combing through dust and dirt, looking for hidden clues to tell an ancient story. In his student days, almost before the ink on his exam papers was dry, he would be off, leaving Toulouse to hitchhike his way through southern Europe and the Middle East. On occasion he would spend a month with archeologists in Dellos, Greece, offering his services in return for the pleasure of understanding more about the work.
