Both basic and precious goods from faraway lands “shipped” to royal palaces\, elite estates—sometimes even rural households—and technological advances in craftsmanship and commerce transcended boundaries of language\, religion\, or culture to spread rapidly. Mediterranean Marketplaces explores how the movement of goods\, peoples\, and ideas around the ancient Mediterranean transformed the lives and livelihoods of people at all levels of society\, driving innovations that had lasting impacts—even on the modern world. See https://bit.ly/HMSCExhibitions for hours and reservations (reservations required).

ASL interpretation will be provided by Trail Blazing Interpreters. Due to Zoom limitations on mobile devices and tablets\, participants interested in accessing ASL interpretation should log in using the desktop version of Zoom. \nDr. Kate Liszka is the Benson and Pamela Harer Fellow in Egyptology and Associate Professor of History at California State University San Bernardino. She earned her doctorate at the University of Pennsylvania and from 2012 to 2015 was a Cotsen Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer at Princeton University.  Her areas of specialization include Nubians in Egypt\, the Medjay\, ethnicity and identity in Antiquity\, multicultural Interactions in frontier regions\, the Pangrave Archaeological Culture\, and large-scale mining expeditions in Antiquity.  Dr. Liszka is the Director of the Wadi el-Hudi Expedition in the Egyptian Eastern Desert.

In the ancient Near-Eastern (Mesopotamia) the musical information is primarily deduced or retrieved from instruments\, instrumental inlays\, wall reliefs\, and iconography. On occasion one will find information on cuneiform tablets that discuss some aspect of music and this Reading Group/Master Class will focus on some of these music ‘theoretical’ tablets. \nIn the following weeks we will be looking at the 3 ‘major’ (most cited) cuneiform tablets that inform scholars about ancient Near-Eastern music theory. \n3-Week Text-In-Translation Reading Group \nThursdays @ 3 pm EST \nJan. 13th \nJan. 20th \nJan. 27th \nParticipants only need to register for each Reading Group once\, you will receive links to our Live Syllabus where readings and discussions are posted in the confirmation email. \nBy RSVPing\, you are agreeing that a recording of the event can be shared with others who RSVPed.
