Professor Michael Fuller is an expert in the archaeological discoveries of both the Old World and New World. He has directed large excavation projects in Syria and the Republic of Macedonia, plus served as a staff member on digs in Greece, Egypt, Jordan, England and the USA. He received a PhD degree in Anthropology in 1986 and taught archaeology to thousands of students over a career of 40 years. Michael is an active field archaeologist, writer, lecturer and cruise ship speaker.

Decades of fieldwork in Old World and New World archaeology give me a broad perspective. I have lectured on dozens of cruises in the Mediterranean, Indian Ocean, Caribbean, and on repositioning cruises. I do destination lectures as well as Enrichment lectures.
