SUMMARY:Kingdoms of Asia
DESCRIPTION:The activities in this event will consist of the following:\n1. The guided tour of the Kingdoms of Asia Exhibit at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo. This Exhibit is new and contains monumental replicas of ancient Khmer temples and sacred sites\, including for example\, Bayon Temple\, Ta Prohm Temple\, and Kbal Sapean. The first two temples are very famous in Cambodia\, which can be dated to c. the 13th century and became filming locations for several Western movies. The temples have also been studied by archaeologists and art historians. This in-person tour will explain in detail the significance of these sites and their symbolic elements in ancient Southeast Asian cultures.\n2. Promotion of archaeology at the Zoo. There will be a lot of people at the Zoo on the Saturday of International Archaeology Day. The Society will have a table where our board members will promote the importance of archaeology and studies of civilizations\, disseminate knowledge\, hand out information\, recruit more members to the Society.

SUMMARY:Cantilevered Walkways—A Remarkable feat of Ancient Chinese Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lothar von Falkenhausen\nDistinguished Professor of Chinese Archaeology and Art History\nUCLA \nTo this day\, the Qinling mountains in Shaanxi province\, which separate the basin of the Yellow River from that of the Yangzi River\, constitute a formidable geographical obstacle to communication on account of their almost unimaginably vertical cliffs. To facilitate inter-regional trade across the Qinling\, cantilevered walkways (zhandao 棧道) were constructed since shortly after the middle of the first millennium BC. They were maintained more or less continuously throughout historical times\, until the 20th century. Similar thoroughfares were also constructed in mountainous regions elsewhere in China. Recently their archaeological remains have become the subject of major survey projects. This paper presents some of what is currently known about these extraordinary feats of ancient Chinese engineering.
