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).

What makes Montpelier a wonderful property for surveys and excavations is its relative undisturbed condition. All of the sites we excavate have never been plowed–and most were abandoned in the 1840s\, leaving the archaeological features in pristine condition. \nThis season we will be excavating the Blacksmith Shop complex at the Madison plantation. All of our current projects are part of a larger effort to interpret and reconstruct the lives of the enslaved community so it can be accessed by visitors. \nThe LEARN Archaeology Expedition program has been operating at Montpelier for a decade-and-a-half\, with many of the same volunteers returning year after year. We are\, however\, keen to add new faces to the program. All of the scheduled programs are designed to give participants actual excavation experience on an archaeological site working side-by-side with trained professional archaeologists. We have a staff of six archaeologists who work with participants both in the lab and in the field\, which means you have personal interaction with archaeological staff and this allows you to work on sensitive features\, artifacts\, and deposits that normally one would not get to handle. You are treated as a member of the research team and we step you through the entire excavation process. While you are here at Montpelier\, you will be engaged in lectures\, and take tours of various archaeological sites on the property. \nYou can learn about all of our LEARN Archaeology Expeditions at the following link. \nWe also host a month-long university archaeology field school. For more information on this\, please see our field school web page. \nFor more information contact Melissa Kerrat dig@montpelier.org URL:https://www.archaeological.org/event/unearthing-a-slave-community/ LOCATION:PA\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.archaeological.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/home-farm-tour-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Melissa Kerr":MAILTO:dig@montpelier.org GEO:41.3140214;-105.5846008 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220420 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220421 DTSTAMP:20260415T144826 CREATED:20210818T164106Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210823T203553Z UID:10005658-1650412800-1650499199@www.archaeological.org SUMMARY:The Lost Valley of the Crescent Moon: 30 years of research in Petra\, Jordan DESCRIPTION:Joukowsky Lecture URL:https://www.archaeological.org/event/the-lost-valley-of-the-crescent-moon-30-years-of-research-in-petra-jordan/ LOCATION:TBA (Austin)\, Austin\, TX\, United States CATEGORIES:AIA Lecture Program,Lecture ORGANIZER;CN="Hayley Barnett":MAILTO:hayleybarnett@utexas.edu GEO:30.267153;-97.743061 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220420 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230101 DTSTAMP:20260415T144826 CREATED:20220422T125402Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220422T142456Z UID:10006367-1650412800-1672531199@www.archaeological.org SUMMARY:Cochineal: How Mexico Made the World See Red (Online Exhibit Spotlight) / Cochinilla: Cómo México Hizo que el Mundo Viera el Rojo (Exposición en Línea) DESCRIPTION:Cochineal\, a tiny insect found on certain species of Oaxacan cacti\, was harvested for millennia by Indigenous peoples to dye fabrics a vibrant red color. But following the European invasion of the Americas in the sixteenth century\, it became a widely coveted\, globally traded commodity that transformed textiles and art\, and made Mexico a center for technological innovation. Cochineal: How Mexico Made the World See Red explores how this Indigenous technology changed the world\, becoming an international symbol of power\, while simultaneously disenfranchising its discoverers. \nLa cochinilla\, un diminuto insecto que se encuentra en ciertas especies de cactus oaxaqueños\, fue cosechada durante milenios por los pueblos indígenas para teñir las telas de un vibrante color rojo.

Cochinilla: Cómo México Hizo que el Mundo Viera el Rojo explora cómo esta tecnología indígena cambió el mundo\, convirtiéndose en un símbolo internacional de poder\, al tiempo que privaba de derechos a sus descubridores.

It has also helped us to explore the relationships between sites in new ways. This talk will discuss what GIS is and what it can do and show a few examples of projects where the presenter utilized this technology to explore archaeology in New England and beyond.

Found in textiles\, paintings\, cosmetics\, and many other objects that span the globe\, cochineal is an integral part of world history. Cochineal pigment was used by Mesoamerican peoples long before the Spanish arrived in the sixteenth century. After being introduced to Europe\, it quickly became a precious commodity and control over its global trade was a source of conflict and competition for over three centuries. In this lecture\, Gabriela Soto Laveaga will trace the fascinating history of cochineal production and the many efforts to control its trade. \nPresented in English with live Spanish interpretation by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture in collaboration with the Mexico Program​​​​​​​ of the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies. \nVisit the related bilingual online exhibit launching April 20\, Cochineal: How Mexico Made the World See Red\, at https://hmsc.harvard.edu/exhibit-spotlight. \n***\nLa cochinilla (Dactylopius coccus) es un pequeño insecto que produce un pigmento rojo brillante. Utilizada en textiles\, pinturas\, cosméticos y muchos otros objetos alrededor del mundo\, la cochinilla es una parte integral de la historia mundial.
