SUMMARY:Highly Educated Slaves and Freedmen in Republican Rome
DESCRIPTION:Slaves and freedmen played an important yet understudied role in the literary culture of the Roman Republic. Though their work went largely uncredited\, they fulfilled vital roles as editors\, researchers\, and collaborators in the service of Rome’s literary and political elite.\nDuring this public lecture\, Prof. Flower (Princeton University) — Rome-SPQR Society Choice Lecturer – – will illustrate the stories of these gifted and highly educated young men\, from Licinius the flute-player\, who shaped the rhetorical style of the orator Gaius Gracchus\, to the grammarian and teacher Tyrannio of Amisus\, who was brought to Rome as a war captive.\nHighlighting the unique social prestige of literary production and intellectual performance in a society pervaded by slave labor\, Prof. Flower will show how the exorbitant prices paid for the highly educated encouraged a complex system of training young boys for the marketplace or acquiring educated captives as booty. Enslaved and manumitted intellectuals\, far from being menial workers\, shared close relationships with leading Romans of the day\, and were relied on as coauthors and collaborators in a range of genres\, with some gaining fame as authors themselves.\nWith lively case studies and insightful new interpretations of the ancient sources\, this lecture will paint a more nuanced picture of enslaved labor in ancient Rome\, revealing how the contributions of enslaved intellectuals were closely linked to the ambitious development of Latin literary culture and the dissemination of knowledge.

SUMMARY:Cooking in the Bronze Age: What Ancient Pots Can Tell Us About Everyday Life in Crete
DESCRIPTION:A great variety of cooking pots are found in the archaeological record across geographical areas and time periods. Significant distinctions exist in vessel morphologies\, fabrics\, sizes and manufacturing techniques. To offer one explanation as to why these design differences exist\, I have utilized an experimental approach to building and testing pottery to illuminate the probable pathways ancient people took to prepare cooked food on the Aegean Island of Crete during the Bronze Age. As a case study\, I have applied a specific approach to domestic cooking assemblages that have been unearthed at the East Cretan coastal sites of Mochlos and at Papadiokambos\, where evidence for Late Minoan I (LM I) cooking technology is preserved. This presentation defines the LM I cooking wares from these sites and outlines the experimental exercises that helped provide a greater insight into the individual ways individuals might have used them to prepare food.

SUMMARY:A Deep Dive into Deep Time: Archaeology Underwater
DESCRIPTION:A lecture: The phrase “underwater archaeology” conjures notions of shipwrecks\, ships lost at sea\, and the dramatic catastrophes that sank them; however\, the archaeology underwater can also reveal details about ancient landscapes that contain a record of past human occupations. Many of these sites are on the earth’s continental shelves where vast stretches of shallow\, coastal lands were exposed at the end of the last Ice Age. These once dry landscapes supported life for plants\, animals\, and humans for thousands of years. Learn about these ancient submerged sites\, the role they play in the global archaeological record and what unique data they have about the past. The talk will provide a general overview and the focus on 9\,000 year old submerged sites in the North American Great Lakes.

SUMMARY:Western Horizons: Phoenician Colonization in the Iron Age Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:In the tenth century BCE\, the Phoenicians — Iron Age Canaanites of the coastal Levant — sailed west to the Iberian peninsula and through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Atlantic Ocean. They subsequently established colonies in Spain\, Portugal\, Sardinia\, Sicily\, and North Africa. In this talk\, we will look at the evidence for when and how this happened\, and also ask why. What was the situation back home in the Levant that triggered this remarkable venture? And what impact did western exploration and colonization have on the Phoenicians in their homeland\, as well as on the places where they settled. Presented by Dr. David Schloen.

SUMMARY:Dr. Shanti Morell-Hart: “Beyond the Swidden: Mesoamerican Agricultural Practices Past\, Present\, and  Future”
DESCRIPTION:Doris Z. Stone New World Archaeology Lectures \nHow do we understand human negotiations of variable ecologies from the perspective of deep time\, and identify historical shifts in these dynamics? How does such research help us to understand societal “collapse” as it has been framed by so many scholars (often outside of historical ecology and archaeology)? What cautionary tales or routes to innovation can we draw from these understandings? In this talk I address recent studies in Mesoamerica on ancient agriculture\, as well as resilient features of human practice in negotiating tropical landscapes. I focus on several areas where I have carried out archaeological research in Guatemala\, Mexico\, and Honduras\, with an emphasis on the analysis of plant residues. Broadly\, I consider: How can we negotiate productivity and sustainability (through many cultural and natural definitions)? What alternate farming solutions can we offer\, based in archaeological research and understandings of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK)? In this talk\, I address contemporary issues in Mesoamerica\, from the home garden\, to the milpa\, to the forest. What new agricultural strategies in tropical Mesoamerica have been inspired- – or discouraged– by ancient practices? What additional strategies might we consider in an era of radical environmental change?

SUMMARY:New Insights into Changing Lifeways in Ancient Nubia
DESCRIPTION:Brenda J. Baker\, PhD\nProfessor of Anthropology\nCenter for Bioarchaeological Research\nSchool of Human Evolution and Social Change \n“New Insights into Changing Lifeways in Ancient Nubia”\nThe Bioarchaeology of Nubia Expedition (BONE) focuses on the area between the Fourth and Fifth Cataracts of the Nile River in northern Sudan\, enriching our understanding of the extent to which people peripheral to core areas where state-level societies operated were integrated. Interconnections are evident from the Kerma period (c. 2500-1500 BCE) on\, incorporating exotic items such as carnelian and Red Sea mollusc shell beads and Egyptian vessels\, though local craft production is evident. Analysis of strontium isotopes from tooth enamel shows a decrease in mobility throughout the Kerma period in this area\, likely reflecting a shift in subsistence practices. Late Meroitic through Post-Meroitic period burials from the Qinifab School site cemetery (used c. 250-1450 CE) include extra-local items indicative of continuing access to far-flung exchange networks despite the construction of a network of stone-walled forts in the region and evidence of conflict commencing during this time. Inclusion of archery equipment in the graves of several males coincides with high rates of trauma reflecting interpersonal violence. These trends suggest that the disintegration of the Meroitic empire led to ongoing incursions and that control by the kingdom of Makuria and conversion of the local populace to Christianity was fraught. Avulsion of lower incisor teeth in nearly 10% of adult males and females became a new marker of identity in late Meroitic to medieval people of the region and new work reveals that tattoos were also far more common in ancient Nubia than previously recognized. \nBiography\nBrenda J. Baker is a professor of anthropology in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change\, a core faculty member of the Center for Bioarchaeological Research and curator of the ancient Nubian collections housed at ASU. She directs the Bioarchaeology of Nubia Expedition (BONE) in northern Sudan and is the founding co-editor-in-chief of Bioarchaeology International (2015-present). Baker taught previously at Tufts University (1992) and Minnesota State University Moorhead (1993-94)\, and was director of the Repatriation Program and curator of Human Osteology at the New York State Museum from 1994-1998. She has served on the Executive Committee of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists (2012-2015)\, as an associate editor of the International Journal of Paleopathology (2010-2015) and Journal of Human Evolution (2020-present)\, and was a founding Steering Committee member of the Western Bioarchaeology Group (2012-2022). She is also a founding member of the American-Sudanese Archaeological Research Cener\, serving on its advisory panel (2017-present). Baker’s teaching includes upper-division undergraduate courses such as the Global History of Health\, Life and Death in Ancient Egypt\, Bioarchaeology\, undergraduate and graduate courses in human osteology\, and graduate courses in Paleopathology\, Children and Childhood in the Past\, Nubian Bioarchaeology\, and field methods. \nRegistration is required.
