SUMMARY:Aegean Sea Odyssey: Cruise the Greek Isles & Historic Türkiye
DESCRIPTION:Join Archaeological Institute of America lecturer and host Joanne Murphy\, a classical archaeologist and an engaging professor\, on a captivating journey cruising the Aegean Sea among the cultural coastal gems of Greece and Türkiye. Set out from Athens’ port of Piraeus for the sacred\, uninhabited island of Delos\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cruise into the iconic caldera of Santorini and visit the island’s haunting site of Akrotiri\, which was buried yet preserved by a volcanic eruption around 1600 B.C. Wander through the medieval town of Rhodes\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site\, and perhaps take an optional excursion to the Acropolis at Lindos with its 4th-century B.C. temple; and then hop over to nearby Kuşadasi\, Türkiye\, for a visit to the vast Greco-Roman city of Ephesus\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our last port of call is Çanakkale\, for an excursion to legendary Troy\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site\, before we disembark in deeply historical Istanbul. Optional pre- and post- cruise extensions in Athens and Istanbul are available. Aboard ship a team of experts\, including AIA lecturer/host Joanne Murphy\, will share their knowledge through a series of enriching lectures and informal discussions. Our luxury vessel\, Le Dumont-d’Urville\, which has only 92 staterooms and suites\, will be a floating sanctuary of sophistication and comfort\, where you will indulge in gourmet dining\, unwind in spacious staterooms\, and savor panoramic views throughout the vessel.

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Livestream: Mark Aldenderfer. “Archaeology and the Tibetan/Himalayan Afterlife”
DESCRIPTION:Although historians and Tibetologists since the early 20th C have collected and interpreted religious documents describing in general terms rituals of death and safe passage to the afterlife among the early peoples of the Himalayas\, the archaeological record offered little insight into them. But recent research by archaeologists across the region have made extraordinary discoveries that both challenge and corroborate current understandings as well as identifying previously unknown traditions for both commoners and kings. Please join us in-person to watch this live-streamed Zoom event.

SUMMARY:The Past in the Past: The Power of Monuments in Ruin presented by Dr. Art Joyce
DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines two ruined monumental architectural complexes in prehispanic Oaxaca\, Mexico: The Main Plaza of the mountaintop city of Monte Albán in the Valley of Oaxaca and the acropolis of Río Viejo on the coastal floodplain of the Lower Río Verde. Both complexes were built during the Formative period and became the ceremonial centers of important cities and foci of politico-religious life for larger regions. The two complexes\, however\, had vastly different histories from their initial construction through their time as ceremonial centers and their afterlives as decaying ruins. Although both fell to ruin during the prehispanic era\, they continued to be places of intensive affect that were central to the constitution and transformation of broader communities in their respective regions. Drawing on new materialist approaches as well as on Native American ontological perspectives in Oaxaca and elsewhere in Mesoamerica\, I argue that even as ruins\, both complexes were powerful animate beings linked to agricultural fertility\, sacrifice\, ancestors\, and cycles of creation. The presentation considers how the material vibrancy of these ruins differed in ways that both brought together and destabilized community and hierarchy. After the abandonment of Monte Albán\, its Main Plaza\, viewed from afar by the people in the valley below\, continued to assemble substances important to human well-being including rain\, earth\, mountain\, sky\, ancestors\, and divinities. People from communities in the valley periodically journeyed to the plaza to make sacrificial offerings thereby constituting a broader identity and community\, although one that was much changed relative to the time when Monte Albán was a city. In contrast\, the earthen architecture of the acropolis\, located in the center of Río Viejo\, rapidly eroded and decayed in the tropical lowland climate. The Late Classic period reemergence of hierarchy in the lower Río Verde Valley activated material memories of rupture held in the ruins that threatened and resisted new forms of community and political authority. As a result\, nobles were drawn back to the architectural complex to appropriate that power though the emplacement of a complex offering that may have healed and reanimated the building. The processes of ruination at the two monumental complexes discussed here therefore actualized different capacities contributing to the gathering of a new kind of community in one case\, and its resistance and eventual dissolution in the other. This presentation makes the broader point that even ruined buildings can be powerful in ways that threaten\, resist\, empower\, or transform human projects.
