SUMMARY:Oman & the UAE: Crossroads of the Indian Ocean & Arabian Gulf with optional\, pre-tour extension to Qatar!
DESCRIPTION:Delve into the cultural and geographical diversity of Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the company of seasoned study leader Trevor Marchand. Our custom-designed itinerary highlights ancient sites and historical monuments\, and helps illustrate how influential geography has been on the region’s history and how the region’s maritime history has linked it to elsewhere in Arabia and as far as Africa and southern Asia. Begin with three full days in the UAE. Still a little fishing village as of the 18th century\, Dubai was a center of pearl exports until the 1930s. Similarly\, Abu Dhabi was founded as a simple pearl and fishing village. After the discovery of oil in the Arabian Gulf\, Dubai became one of the wealthiest cities in the world\, and Abu\nDhabi was transformed into a luxurious modern metropolis and the capital of the UAE. But this region was settled many centuries earlier\, and we will observe how the old and the new co-exist in intriguing ways. Spend the balance of our time exploring Oman\, which dominated for centuries the maritime trade routes from Moorish Spain to Canton (modern-day Guangzhou\, China). Her seafaring merchants traded in such commodities of civilization as frankincense\, myrrh\, silk\, gold\, spices\, and coffee. Today\, Oman takes pride in sharing its rich history with visitors\, as demonstrated in its world-class museums. Altogether we will learn about these countries’ histories\, cultures\, art\, and architecture while witnessing their great geographical diversity\, from spectacular\ndeserts and wadis to pristine coastlines\, including a reserve for the endangered green sea turtle.

SUMMARY:The Bioarchaeology of the Distinctive Burials of the Phaleron Cemetery\, Archaic Greece
DESCRIPTION:Aviva Cormier\, “The Bioarchaeology of the Distinctive Burials of the Phaleron Cemetery\, Archaic Greece” \nTHIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. If you’re interested in archaeology\, please join us! \nAbout the lecture:\nThe world’s attention has been captured by the 7th century BCE finds that emerged from the coastal sands of Faliro\, the ancient Port of Athens. Most often discussed are the seventy-nine young men who had been violently executed and interred in three trenches. They lived and died during the political upheavals that culminated in the foundational democracy of Classical Athens. These\, however\, are but a fraction (<10%) of those excavated between 2012 and 2017 at the site of Phaleron. Most of the 1000+ individuals buried nearby fall within an expected range of burial forms\, including pits\, cists\, and jars. In this talk\, I focus on those that fall outside of that range\, individuals with mortuary contexts that suggest distinctive experiences in life and death. These distinctive burials include those who were interred collectively in mass graves or buried prone or tightly flexed in single graves\, with some bound at the wrists and/or ankles. I present osteobiographies of these individuals- contextualized life histories from their skeletal remains- and emphasize how their potentially violent life and death experiences may have impacted their identity construction\, physical wellbeing\, and resulting mortuary treatment. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Aviva Cormier\, Visiting Assistant Professor in the Anthropology Department at Davidson College\, is a bioarchaeologist who studies human culture\, behavior\, and society through human skeletal remains and their archaeological or historical contexts. She focuses on potentially marginalized individuals\, those whose bodies or mortuary contexts fall outside of what is expected. She studies individuals with physical differences—those whose bodies do not conform to notions of a normal body or to the normal of the society being studied. She pays particular attention to the lived experiences of these individuals\, how they might have navigated their physical and social environments\, and how they might have self-identified or been identified by their community. Currently\, she is a bioarchaeologist with the Phaleron Bioarchaeology Project.\nOur lectures are sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America\, with funding from the Davidson College Public Lectures Committee\, the Dean Rusk Program\, and the departments of Africana Studies\, Anthropology\, Art\, Classics\, Educational Studies\, History\, and Latin American Studies. \nPlease support us by joining the Archaeological Institute of America for $50 (students $25)\, which includes a subscription to Archaeology magazine.
