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.

Featuring Mexican objects from the Peabody Museum collections\, this bilingual exhibit tells the story of Mexico as a multicultural and geographic crossroads—one where the exchange of resources\, products\, and ideas among Indigenous peoples throughout the Americas before the Spanish invasion\, and then with cultures around the globe—have all created a vibrant nation. See https://bit.ly/HMSCExhibitions for hours and reservations. \nMuchos Méxicos explora la rica historia de México como un sitio de innovación humana\, creatividad y diversidad cultural. Con objetos mexicanos de las colecciones del Museo Peabody\, esta exposición bilingüe cuenta la historia de México como encrucijada multicultural y geográfica\, donde el intercambio de recursos\, productos e ideas entre los pueblos indígenas de toda América antes de la invasión española\, y luego con culturas alrededor del mundo\, han creado una nación vibrante. \nImage credit: Peabody Museum Expedition\, M.

Ruled by a divine king\, or Oba\, the Benin kingdom relied on specialized guilds who created elaborate court regalia that adorned the palace of the Oba. Bronze plaques\, ivory statuettes\, and delicate coral-beaded items were used to establish status and validate the Oba’s power. In 1897 a British expeditionary force invaded Benin\, plundered the palace\, and burned it to the ground. Items linked to this expedition were then sent to museums around the world\, including both the Harvard Art Museums and Harvard’s Peabody Museum\, and are housed in their collections. In this program\, Sarah Clunis will look at objects currently in the care of Harvard and discuss the way that these objects represent an iconographic and contextual story of trade\, contact\, and crossroads between cultures. Diana Loren will moderate a discussion after the presentation. \nThe bronze\, ivory\, and wooden artworks broadly known as the “Benin Bronzes” were taken from Benin City as part of the British Punitive Expedition of 1897 and dispersed to private collections and museums around the world. The Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and Harvard Art Museums acknowledge the violence and trauma of the Expedition and understand that the presence of this cultural material in Western museums is experienced as continued injustice by descendent communities. \nPresented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture in collaboration with the Harvard Art Museums URL:https://www.archaeological.org/event/benin-bronzes-in-context-free-virtual-lecture/ LOCATION:Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology\, 11 Divinity Avenue\, Cambridge\, MA\, 02138\, United States CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.archaeological.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/benin-600-x-400.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Harvard Museums of Science &%3Bamp%3B Culture":MAILTO:hmscpr@hmsc.harvard.edu GEO:42.377512;-71.1141269 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology 11 Divinity Avenue Cambridge MA 02138 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=11 Divinity Avenue:geo:-71.1141269,42.377512 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220215T181500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220215T193000 DTSTAMP:20260412T053314 CREATED:20220204T151457Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220204T180053Z UID:10006288-1644948900-1644953400@www.archaeological.org SUMMARY:Artifacts and Archaeological Processes: The Lives and Afterlives of Objects in Pompeii DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Catherine Baker\, Bryn Mawr College\nFrom the chipped corners of an ancient die to the mortar on a reused inscription\, artifacts tell stories. Archaeologists reconstruct these object biographies\, tracing the lives of ancient artifacts from their creation to their final deposition. In this talk\, I explore the stories of some of the artifacts excavated by the Pompeii Archaeological Research Project: Porta Stabia (University of Cincinnati)\, including dice and gaming pieces\, statuettes\, tools of potters\, and even nails. These object biographies shed light not only on the way people first used these objects\, but on their afterlives – the ways in which objects were discarded\, recycled\, and reused. These lives and afterlives of objects\, in turn\, shape the archaeology of a site\, allowing us to trace the complex patterns of use\, reuse\, and discard which characterized the history of one neighborhood in the Roman city of Pompeii.\nHybrid Event.
