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:AIA Archaeology Hour with Katherine L. Chiou
DESCRIPTION:Join the AIA for a fascinating evening as Katherine L. Chiou (University of Alabama) presents Cuisine and Crisis: An Edible History of the Moche of Ancient Peru. \nThis presentation will be given at 8pm Eastern/7pm Central/6pm Mountain/5pm Pacific. \nImagine stepping into the shoes of an ancient Peruvian\, tasting the flavors and savoring the meals of a time long past. In this talk\, we’ll journey into the rich culinary history of the Moche people\, who thrived along the desertic northern Peruvian coast from AD 100-800. \nBut it’s not just about what was on the plate; it’s about what those meals can tell us about the lives\, struggles\, and joys of two very different parts of Moche society. By exploring both a grand feast preparation area and a humble commoner’s home\, we’ll dig into what food reveals about wealth\, status\, and daily life during a turbulent time marked by drought and political tension. \nHow did food contribute to social unrest? Were the rich and poor eating the same meals or were there stark differences? What does a simple dish tell us about a person’s identity? These questions and more will be served up in this delicious journey into the past\, blending archaeology\, technology\, and a good pinch of culinary intrigue. Whether you’re a foodie\, history buff\, or simply curious about how meals connect us to our ancestors\, this talk is a feast for the mind you won’t want to miss.
