SUMMARY:Soto’s Stuff: Spanish 16th Century Expeditions and What They Left Behind
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer: Dr. Charles Cobb\nLockwood Chair in Historical Archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History\n2025 UF Research Foundation Professor \nOver the last decade\, research by a collaboration of archaeologists has made considerable strides toward identifying sites visited by Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto’s army in the American Southeast (A.D. 1539-1543). In addition to delineating the route traveled by Soto\, our working group has now amassed a substantial sample of European metal objects recovered from Indigenous villages. This presentation provides new insights on the Soto route and on how the related artifacts shed light on patterns of discard\, trade\, and the ways in which Indigenous societies reshaped European material culture.

SUMMARY:From Farmers to Kings: The Emergence of Social Hierarchy in Prehistoric Europe
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by William Parkinson; William (Bill) Parkinson is an archaeologist who specializes in European and Eastern Mediterranean Prehistory. His anthropological and archaeological research explores the social dynamics of early village societies and the emergence of early states. He has over 30 years of experience conducting archaeological fieldwork and developing museum exhibitions for the Field Museum. \nThe modern world is plagued with unprecedented levels of social\, economic\, and political inequalities. But these inequities did not happen overnight; in places like southeastern Europe they emerged over the course of thousands of years as the small egalitarian farming villages of the Neolithic gave way to some of the earliest hierarchical kingdoms in the Iron Age. This is the story that was told in the First Kings of Europe exhibition\, an ambitious international collaboration between twenty-six museums in eleven countries in southeastern Europe. In this presentation\, Bill Parkinson gives an overview of his archaeological research into the emergence of social hierarchy in the region\, as well as an overview of the exhibition he co-curated with his long-time collaborator\, Attila Gyucha.

SUMMARY:Linda Cordell and Her Many Contributions to Southwest Archaeology
DESCRIPTION:(Lecturers: Dr. Maxine McBrinn and Dr. Judith Habicht Mauche) Linda Cordell was extraordinarily active in southwestern archaeology during her resources in the work of others. Because of this\, her influence extended well beyond her own students to those of many of her colleagues. One of her last personal endeavors was working with the Tijeras Pueblo Ceramics Project. Examples of her prodigious influence on archaeological research will be presented.

SUMMARY:Punitive Labor and Enslavement in the Roman Bakery
DESCRIPTION:About the lecture: \nIn 2023\, excavators in Pompeii found a bakery in the Casa di Rustio Vero that was separated from the house—and the rest of the world—by metal bars. The excavators interpreted the bars as an indication of incarceration and the use of convicts as labor. This lecture explores the evidence for convict labor in bakeries and argues that the material consequences of enslavement and incarceration are probably indistinguishable in the setting of commerical activity. Deploying both textual and material evidence\, Benton will show the various ways that punitive labor grafted onto different systems and scales of production. \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Jared Benton\, associate professor of art at Old Dominion University\, is co-director of the Saïss Plain and Zerhoun Massif archaeology project\, a survey of the plain SE of Volubilis in Morocco. He has previously excavated workshops in Volubilis and was a field supervisor for the American Excavations at Morgantina from 2013-2020. His book\, The Bread Makers\, explores Roman commercial baking\, with a focus on how production would differ not only between communities but also between operators with different investment tolerances. With a number of co-authors\, he recently published an article on the structure and archaeobotany of a bakery at Volubilis in Mouseion.
