SUMMARY:Forever Is Now: Contemporary Art at the Pyramids of Giza
DESCRIPTION:Nadine Abdel Ghaffar\, Founder & Curator\, CulturVator|Art D’Égypte \nForever Is Now is a contemporary art exhibition at the 4500-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site\, the Pyramids of Giza. Against the backdrop of ancient Egypt’s cultural heritage\, the contemporary installations are a testament to the continual evolution of art\, the transformative power of storytelling\, and cross-cultural exchange. Join Nadine Abdel Ghaffar\, founder of CulturVator|Art D’Égypte\, to explore how contemporary art intersects with ancient history\, and how artists from diverse backgrounds use this historical space to celebrate humanity’s timelessness and the search for meaning and connection in art. \nFree admission. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Presented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science and Culture. \nPhoto: Hesham E. Saifi

SUMMARY:Age of Wolf and Wind: The Viking World and the Norse Settlement of the North Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:The Vikings continue to fascinate us because their compelling stories connect with universal human desires for exploration and adventure. In Age of Wolf and Wind: Voyages through the Viking World\, Dr. Davide Zori (Baylor University) argues that recent advances in excavation and archaeological science\, coupled with a re-evaluation of oral traditions and written sources\, inspire the telling of new and engaging stories that further our understanding of the Viking Age. Drawing upon his fieldwork experience across the Viking world\, he proposes that the best method for weaving together these narratives is a balanced\, interdisciplinary approach that integrates history\, archaeology\, and new scientific techniques. The dialogues he creates between these three separate data sets result in an entanglement of confirmation (texts\, archaeology\, and science affirming the same story)\, contradiction (texts\, archaeology\, and science telling incompatible stories) and complementarity (texts\, archaeology\, and science contributing mutually enriching stories). This optimistic yet critical treatment of the sources allows for a holistic picture of the Viking Age to emerge. This lecture presents the general arguments of Dr. Zori’s book before offering a case study of this approach from his research on Viking Age Iceland. He examines the Viking experience in Iceland through the discoveries and excavations of the Mosfell Archaeological Project (MAP) in Iceland’s Mosfell Valley. His team’s work brings together the disciplines of archaeology\, history\, saga studies\, osteology\, zoology\, paleobotany\, genetics\, isotope studies\, place-names studies\, environmental science\, and historical architecture. The decade-long research of MAP has led to the discovery of an exceptionally well-preserved Viking chieftain’s farmstead\, including a longhouse\, a pagan cremation site\, a conversion-era stave church\, and a Christian graveyard. The results of this interdisciplinary work offer a new view into the Viking Age in Iceland.

SUMMARY:Archaeology & Ale: Suhar\, An Early Medieval Port on the Indian Ocean
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation Dr. Derek Kennet\, Howard E. Hallengren Professor in Arabian Peninsula and Gulf States Archaeology\, ISAC\, University of Chicago\, will discuss one of the most important and least understood periods in the development of the world economy. About 1\,200 years ago\, at a time when the early Islamic empire of the Abbasids in the Middle East and Tang China were the two global economic superpowers\, merchant seafarers began—for the first time in history—sailing directly from the Middle East to China. Their activities brought the two ends of the known world into close contact and seem to represent the first steps towards the development of the modern global economy. Despite their important contribution\, almost nothing is known of these seafarers\, who they were or how they operated. All that is left to us is the archaeological evidence at port sites around the Indian Ocean. But how do we turn this evidence into a history of trade? Derek Kennet will set out some examples and ideas and describe the current UChicago (ISAC) excavations at Suhar (Sultanate of Oman). Warning: this talk is really only suitable for people who like long\, hot sandy beaches\, palm groves and exotic locations. Piña coladas are recommended.
