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.

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:20230101 DTSTAMP:20260415T100137 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. 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.

We organized it to exhibit for our audience the wonderful diversity of human cultures past and present in the exploration of our place in history and in our world. Through this Festival we wish to promote the genre and the makers of film and video productions about archaeology and indigenous peoples.

The archaeological and historical records from this period offer a treasure trove of evidence including monumental architecture\, kingly correspondence\, and luxury goods from far-off locales. \nAs a result\, research on the Late Bronze Age has often focused on elite lives and histories\, but the daily lives of non-elite individuals have remained largely unexamined. What was life like for those living outside of imperial capitals and other major centers? How were local practices of day-to-day life shaped by imperial aims? How deeply were rural settlements embedded in the political and economic structures of empire? \nIn this lecture\, I address these questions using evidence from the site of Çadır Höyük\, a rural center in the provinces of one of the major political players of the Late Bronze Age\, the Hittite empire (modern-day Turkey). In particular\, I use the ancient animal remains from Çadır Höyük to reconstruct the organization of day-to-day economic activities at the settlement. I consider the choices Çadırans made about which animals to raise (e.g.\, more cattle? fewer goats? lots of pigs?) and what products to focus on (e.g. meat? wool/fiber? dairy? a combination?). I then discuss how these choices relate to the settlement’s place within the broader economic system of the Hittite empire and how they can help us characterize what life was really like at Çadır during the Late Bronze Age. \nSarah Adcock is a Visiting Assistant Professor at NYU’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World. She received her PhD in Anthropology from the University of Chicago (2020) and her BA in Archaeology and English Literature from Baylor University (2008). Her current work focuses on the Late Bronze Age collapse in the Eastern Mediterranean region around 1200 BCE. \nFor her dissertation research\, she examined local responses to the Hittite collapse in central Turkey at the end of the Late Bronze Age through the analysis of animal remains from the Hittite capital Hattuşa and from Çadır Höyük\, a Hittite provincial center. By comparing her results from these sites\, she considered the specific impacts empire’s collapse had on animal management systems and the economic organization of food production both at the Hittite capital and in the empire’s provinces. \nHer current work expands the focus of her research from the collapse of the Hittite empire to the Late Bronze Age collapse in the Eastern Mediterranean region more broadly. The Late Bronze Age collapse in the Eastern Mediterranean is one of the largest and best known collapse events in human history\, and it affected multiple polities across the region\, presenting an opportunity for exploring differing responses to the processes associated with societal collapse. This project\, “Everyday Lives at the End of the World?: Post-Collapse Animal Economies in the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean” works to develop a macro-level understanding of changes and continuities in animal management and foodways that accompanied the Late Bronze Age collapse in the Eastern Mediterranean. The goal of this work is to offer a new perspective from which to examine the massive political\, economic\, and social changes that occurred at the end of the Late Bronze Age in the Eastern Mediterranean and to critically examine the historical narratives and theoretical frameworks that create our conceptions of collapse and “dark age.” URL:https://www.archaeological.org/event/daily-lives-in-an-age-of-empires-local-economic-life-during-the-late-bronze-age-1600-1200-bce-turkey/ LOCATION:PA\, United States CATEGORIES:AIA Lecture Program ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.archaeological.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/2022-0515-Adcock-Lecture-Image-.jpg GEO:41.3140214;-105.5846008 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
