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:Arctic Odyssey: Exploring Norway’s Svalbard Archipelago
DESCRIPTION:This summer\, join a team of lecturers on a voyage that will explore one of the Arctic’s most interesting and magnificent areas\, Norway’s Svalbard (Spitsbergen). Enjoy the comforts of a luxurious expedition ship while exploring a remote region far from tourist routes. \nA group of islands located between Norway and the North Pole\, Svalbard is a place of vast glaciers\, calving icebergs\, snowcapped mountains\, and majestic serene fjords. Two thirds of the archipelago is covered by nature reserves created to protect the environment and the remarkable wildlife of the islands. Covered by ice for most of the year\, the short Arctic summer that provides 24-hour days reveals the grandeur and natural life of Svalbard. The fish-rich sea that surrounds the islands attracts large numbers of birds\, including kittiwakes\, Arctic terns\, fulmars\, puffins\, and black and Brunnich’s guillemots. Whales\, seals\, and walruses frequent the area\, while the tundra supports a surprising number of flowering plants. But the undoubted king of this high Arctic archipelago is the polar bear. Svalbard is one of the best places on Earth to observe polar bears in their natural habitat. Estimated to number about 3\,000\, polar bears outnumber the human population of the islands. \nStarting in Oslo\, Norway’s lovely capital\, we will fly to Tromso\, located above the Arctic Circle\, where we will embark our ship\, and cruise across the Barents Sea to Bear Island\, a nature reserve and home to thousands of birds. From Bear Island\, it’s just an overnight cruise to the Svalbard archipelago\, where we will spend seven days exploring this extraordinary group of islands and search for its wildlife\, especially polar bears. Our Arctic Odyssey will end in Tromso\, from where we will fly home. \nOur home for this Arctic adventure will be SH Minerva\, a state-of-the-art expedition cruise ship that was purpose built for polar exploration. Built in Finland and launched in December 2021\, SH Minerva features the most advanced green mechanical technologies and systems\, and accommodates a maximum of 152 guests in spacious staterooms and suites. A team of expert expedition leaders and naturalists will plan and lead our activities ashore\, while a fleet of Zodiac landing craft will bring us into intimate contact with the places we will explore.

SUMMARY:Hiking Scotland’s Orkney & Shetland Islands
DESCRIPTION:This is the perfect opportunity to explore all that Scotland’s Northern Isles have to offer: prehistoric stone circles\, burial chambers\, and settlements; quaint villages; huge seabird colonies; and remarkable plant life—all amidst dramatic landscapes. This will be Scotland seen slowly\, with time for in-depth exploration at each site. The Orkney and Shetland islands have an amazing wealth of archaeological sites dating back 5\,000 years. Together the islands have more than 18\,000 known sites\, with new discoveries being made every year. This archaeological saga is worth the telling\, and nowhere else can the evidence be seen in more glorious a setting.\nHighlights: \nThe UNESCO World Heritage site on Orkney\, which includes the chambered tomb of Maeshowe\, estimated to have been constructed around 2700 B.C.; the Stones of Stenness; the 4\,000-year-old Ring of Brodgar\, one of Europe’s finest Neolithic monuments; Skara Brae settlement; and associated funerary monuments and stone settings. These are unquestionably among the most important Neolithic sites in Western Europe.\n“The Crucible of Iron Age Shetland”—including Mousa Broch\, the best-preserved known broch in the world\, Old Scatness\, and Jarlshof—where the lack of intensive modern farming means that the preservation of these sites and their landscapes is exceptional.\nThe Isles are a birdwatcher’s paradise\, and one of the major seabird breeding and feeding areas in the North Atlantic. More than a million birds breed in very large colonies.\nAll meals are included\, and you will enjoy comfortable accommodations: four nights at the elegant Lynnfield Hotel\, a comfortable overnight ferry from Orkney to Shetland and from Shetland to Aberdeen\, a night at the Scalloway Hotel\, and two nights at the remote and charming Busta House Hotel.
