SUMMARY:Climate Change and Resilience in Medieval Anatolia
DESCRIPTION:AIA’s George H. Forsyth\, Jr. Memorial Lecture (Link: https://www.archaeological.org/endowment/george-h-forsyth-jr-memorial-lectures/) \nDr. Marica Cassis\, Department of History\, University of Calgary \nWhat does climate resilience mean in the context of the Late Roman and Medieval World of Anatolia? Current excavations at the site of Çadır Höyük in Yozgat province\, central Türkiye provide insight into how communities adapted and changed in response to a variety of climate and social changes over the course of these periods. In examining this evolution\, we gain a greater sense of how medieval society made sense of their changing environmental conditions through changes to their physical environments and their use of natural resources.

SUMMARY:Breaking Bronze for Demeter: Indigenous Religion and the Making of Greek Sicily
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Alex Moskowitz – Breaking Bronze for Demeter: Indigenous Religion and the Making of Greek Sicily \nTuesday\, March 24\, at 5:30pm\nMount Holyoke College\nSkinner Hall\, Room 216 \nAlex Moskowitz is a classical archaeologist and historian interested in rewriting conventional narratives of colonization in the Archaic Mediterranean through the lens of the experiences of communities indigenous to the sites subject to Greek and Phoenician settlement. His current research focuses on Sicily and explores the development of metallurgical knowledge and craft communities throughout the first half of the first millennium BCE. With a theoretical perspective underpinned by postcolonial studies and anthropological approaches to the study of craft production and community\, he investigates how metal tools and artisanal practices document the choices made by populations navigating changing social\, political\, and economic conditions. Alex is currently preparing a monograph based on his dissertation work\, entitled The Origins of Greek Sicily: Communities\, Metals\, and Colonization. Beyond the material culture of Sicily and the Greek world\, Alex is also interested in studying articulations of cultural identity within Archaic lyric poetry and Greek historiography. \nAlex received a PhD in Classical Art and Archaeology at the University of Michigan. Before that\, he completed an MA at the University of Georgia and a BA at Swarthmore College. Alex is an active field archaeologist who has conducted fieldwork with various projects in Greece\, Italy\, and Kosova. He is a long-time staff member of the American Excavations at Morgantina\, where he co-directs the Khora of Archaic Morgantina Project and supervises fieldwork for the Agora Valley Project. He is excited to talk with students interested in learning about archaeology and participating in archaeological field projects. \nThis year’s Ellen and Charles S. La Follette Lecture is sponsored by the Western Massachusetts Society of the AIA and the Mt. Holyoke College Department of Classics and Italian.

SUMMARY:Next to Turquoise Domes: Archaeological Investigations in the City of Bukhara
DESCRIPTION:About the lecture: \nFive extensive seasons of archaeological fieldwork have yielded a veritable treasure trove of new information about the long\, complex history of the city of Bukhara\, which was once a key node along the fabled “Silk Roads.” This presentation will introduce new data derived from finds and observations made at a series of fortifications\, various kinds of dwellings\, workshops\, and burial contexts. They speak to a wide range of historical phenomena and problems\, such as the potential existence of a Seleucid military colony in the area of the later city during the 3rd century BCE\, the roots and stages of Bukhara’s urban growth as an important node within the Sogdiana trading networks during Late Antiquity (3rd to 8th centuries CE)\, transcontinental connections during the city’s heyday under the Samanid dynasty during the 10th century\, and the health status of the urban populace on the eve of the Mongol invasion (late 12th/early 13th century). \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Sören Stark\, Professor of Central Asian Archaeology at New York University\, has close to two decades of experience in conducting and directing archaeological fieldwork in Central Asia. His current research interests are\, among others\, on Hellenistic and Late Antique/Early Medieval Sogdiana and the archaeology and history of nomadic groups close to oasis territories in Western Central Asia. His publications include a monograph on the archaeology of the 6th-8th century Türks in Inner and Central Asia\, an exhibition catalogue on Early Iron Age kurgans from Kazakhstan\, and numerous articles and book chapters on the history and archaeology of Sogdiana between the Hellenistic and the Islamic periods.
