SUMMARY:Mediterranean Marketplaces: Connecting the Ancient World Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Much like today\, ancient “consumers” were connected to distant markets. 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).

SUMMARY:Muchos Méxicos: Crossroads of the Americas Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Muchos Méxicos explores Mexico’s rich history as a site of human innovation\, creativity and cultural diversity. 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.

SUMMARY:Unearthing A Slave Community
DESCRIPTION:Over the next several years\, we will be examining a number of different archaeological sites. 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

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. Pero tras la invasión europea de las Américas en el siglo XVI\, se convirtió en un producto ampliamente codiciado y comercializado a nivel mundial que transformó los tejidos y el arte\, y convirtió a México en un centro de innovación tecnológica. 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.

SUMMARY:Earthquakes and the Structuring of Greco-Roman Society: the longue durée of human-geological environment relationships in Helike\, Greece (SAIG/GSC Dissertation Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Amanda Gaggioli\, PhD Candidate\, Department of Classics | Stanford Archaeology Center\, Stanford University \nBio: Amanda’s research combines specializations in archaeology\, history\, and ancient languages with environmental sciences\, particularly geoarchaeology and soil micromorphology\, to interpret cultural forms of environmental knowledge\, cultural practices\, landscapes\, and paleoenvironments that factored into societal developments. This combined work accounts for the resilience and political ecology of socio-environmental systems in all aspects of Greco-Roman civilization. \nAbstract: Earthquakes have been linked with societal collapse in various places throughout the past\, most notably in the eastern Mediterranean with the end of the Late Bronze Age (c. 1200 BCE) and the division and decline of the Roman Empire from the fourth to sixth centuries CE. Archaeological evidence of widespread destruction\, complemented by an inflation of historical earthquake records for late Roman contexts\, points to periods of higher seismicity coinciding with political and economic weakening and socio-cultural downturn. However\, since ancient times\, humans living with persistent earthquake hazards have demonstrated forms of resilience. I show how earthquakes traditionally perceived as ‘natural’ disasters are not ‘natural’ but social and a critical factor in political ecological relationships through the case of Helike\, Greece from the third millennium BCE to fifth century CE. New methods from geoarchaeology and soil micromorphology combined with evidence ranging from Greco-Roman perceptions on earthquakes in textual records combined with destruction\, innovation\, and invention in settlement architecture and soft sediment deformation structures (SSDS) in soil thin sections prove such ‘catastrophe’ theories to be either false or simplistic. The results expose the persistent factor of earthquakes and other geological hazards in the resilience and political ecology of human-environment relationships in the Greco-Roman society and culture. \nThe case of Helike demonstrates how factors of earthquakes and other geological hazards persistently shaped and were shaped bysocio-cultural\, economic\, and political developments. The use of innovative methodological approaches and techniques to new types of data confronts catastrophe narratives and reveals a resilience and political ecology of human-earthquake relationships.
