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:11th Century Turkey Management in the Mimbres Valley
DESCRIPTION:Lecture. Sean Dolan (Los Alamos Laboratories). For nearly two millennia\, people in the US Southwest and Mexican Northwest have maintained a significant relationship with turkeys\, a bird they domesticated for their feathers\, meat\, and other resources. Recent archaeological studies reveal diverse regional and temporal patterns in turkey management\, but how and why did people in the Mimbres Valley of southwestern New Mexico from CE 1000-1130 manage and interact with these birds? In this presentation\, Sean Dolan incorporates Mimbres pottery iconography\, bone isotope analysis\, and ancient DNA to explore the role and treatment of turkeys in this region.
