SUMMARY:Jungle Kingdoms of the Ancient Maya
DESCRIPTION:This tropical adventure provides the best-paced itinerary available to thoroughly explore ancient Maya sites in the lush jungles of Mexico\, Guatemala\, and Honduras. Maya art and architecture will “come alive” as you encounter enormous stelae (carved monoliths)\, painted frescoes\, stucco friezes\, carved lintels\, and huge temple-pyramids that soar above the rainforest. Explore\, in-depth\, the sites of Palenque\, Bonampak\, Yaxchilán\, Tikal\, Yaxhá\, Copán\, and Quiriguá (four are UNESCO World Heritage Sites); with free time to go bird watching or simply relax\, reflect\, and enjoy our comfortable hotels and remote jungle lodges. Maximum of just 12 guests. \nHighlights include: \n• Visit La Venta Park to see a magnificent outdoor collection of stone sculpture that originally came from the Olmec site of La Venta.\n• Explore Palenque’s many exquisite examples of 7th- and 8th-century Maya architecture\, including the Temple of the Inscriptions\, Palace\, Temples of the Cross Group\, and much more..\n• Journey upriver and cross over into the heart of Guatemala\, to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Tikal.\n• Join in on the optional\, pre-dawn hike up the steep steps of Tikal’s Temple IV—the site’s tallest pyramid at 230 feet\, and the largest Maya shrine built in the 8th century.\n• Tour the Sepulturas Group\, located a few miles from the site of Copán\, which also housed a residential area for non-Maya (perhaps foreign merchants) around A.D. 800. \nTravel and learn with Dr. Ben Thomas who after several years of fieldwork in the jungles and swamps of Belize and Guatemala has become a specialist in Mayan archaeology with specific interests in Ancient Maya settlements and architecture. He has travelled extensively throughout Mexico\, Guatemala\, and Belize.

SUMMARY:Rhodora Vennarucci. “Socci and Sociability: Shopping for Status in a Roman Shop”
DESCRIPTION:Father Edward A. Bader\, CSB Lecture in Mediterranean Archaeology \nThis talk applies a Consumer Culture Theory (CCT) and phenomenological approach to the Felt Shop of Verecundus (IX.7.5-7) from Pompeii. This shop sold fine footwear (socci\, or soft-soled felted slippers) and other high-status textile products. We will explore how ancient consumers self-fashioned through public acts of consumption in the shop. An interactive 3D model of the shop in VR — reconstructed using the architectural remains and archival data from the shop’s excavation — facilitates this investigation\, and has in turn contributed to the Virtual Roman Retail project. \nSocci were a luxury item worn indoors and at dinner parties that only the more affluent in society could actually afford. Shopping for slippers on the street now called the Via dell’Abbondanza (Pompeii’s most heavily trafficked thoroughfare)\, was therefore a social act that involved the public performance of (aspirational?) power and status. This lecture discusses how shopping behavior conveyed sociocultural meaning in Roman society and highlights the social and communicative functions of a Roman shop-space.
