SUMMARY:“Barbarians” and Bronzes: The Origins of Civilization in Ancient Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:Two thousand years ago\, China’s Han Empire stretched its imperial grasp beyond the mountains far to the south of the Central Plains\, reaching into the domains of “barbarians”. Along its southernmost periphery lay the Red River Valley (RRV) of present-day Vietnam. In their chronicles\, the Han claimed that they “civilized” the RRV’s “barbarians”. In contrast\, many Vietnamese believe this time and location represents the birthplace of an indigenous\, Vietnamese civilization that predates Han arrival. This view has been traditionally based on colorful tales and legends. One of the most enduring accounts tells of the Au Lac Kingdom and its capital city\, known as Co Loa. Thus\, at the heart of ongoing\, intense\, and sometimes nationalistic debates are two contrasting views. One sees “civilization” as a byproduct of Han arrival\, while the other sees it as the outcome of local\, indigenous cultural traditions. This lecture presents new and ongoing archaeological research that addresses these themes and questions. Specifically\, it highlights recent investigations at the Co Loa site\, considered to be the first capital and earliest city of ancient Vietnam. \nDr. Nam C. Kim\nProfessor\, Dept. of Anthropology\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison \nThis talk will be hybrid: in-person with a Zoom streaming component.

SUMMARY:The Past in the Past: The Power of Monuments in Ruin presented by Dr. Art Joyce
DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines two ruined monumental architectural complexes in prehispanic Oaxaca\, Mexico: The Main Plaza of the mountaintop city of Monte Albán in the Valley of Oaxaca and the acropolis of Río Viejo on the coastal floodplain of the Lower Río Verde. Both complexes were built during the Formative period and became the ceremonial centers of important cities and foci of politico-religious life for larger regions. The two complexes\, however\, had vastly different histories from their initial construction through their time as ceremonial centers and their afterlives as decaying ruins. Although both fell to ruin during the prehispanic era\, they continued to be places of intensive affect that were central to the constitution and transformation of broader communities in their respective regions. Drawing on new materialist approaches as well as on Native American ontological perspectives in Oaxaca and elsewhere in Mesoamerica\, I argue that even as ruins\, both complexes were powerful animate beings linked to agricultural fertility\, sacrifice\, ancestors\, and cycles of creation. The presentation considers how the material vibrancy of these ruins differed in ways that both brought together and destabilized community and hierarchy. After the abandonment of Monte Albán\, its Main Plaza\, viewed from afar by the people in the valley below\, continued to assemble substances important to human well-being including rain\, earth\, mountain\, sky\, ancestors\, and divinities. People from communities in the valley periodically journeyed to the plaza to make sacrificial offerings thereby constituting a broader identity and community\, although one that was much changed relative to the time when Monte Albán was a city. In contrast\, the earthen architecture of the acropolis\, located in the center of Río Viejo\, rapidly eroded and decayed in the tropical lowland climate. The Late Classic period reemergence of hierarchy in the lower Río Verde Valley activated material memories of rupture held in the ruins that threatened and resisted new forms of community and political authority. As a result\, nobles were drawn back to the architectural complex to appropriate that power though the emplacement of a complex offering that may have healed and reanimated the building. The processes of ruination at the two monumental complexes discussed here therefore actualized different capacities contributing to the gathering of a new kind of community in one case\, and its resistance and eventual dissolution in the other. This presentation makes the broader point that even ruined buildings can be powerful in ways that threaten\, resist\, empower\, or transform human projects.

SUMMARY:Archaeology of the Ọyọ Empire: Domesticity of Governance & Politics of Dependency\, 1600-1836
DESCRIPTION:Martha Sharp Joukowsky Lectureships \nDr. Akin Ogundiran\, “Archaeology of the Ọyọ Empire: Domesticity of Governance and Politics of Dependency\, 1600-1836” \nThursday\, April 10 at 5:30pm EST\nUMass Amherst\, Integrated Learning Center S211\nFor Zoom attendance\, register here: https://umass-amherst.zoom.us/meeting/register/UU0SqUeGS8mVuL6k98vAnA \nBetween ca. 1650 and 1800\, the Ọyọ Empire was the largest political formation in West Africa\, south of the River Niger. Over the past twenty years\, Akin Ogundiran has conducted archaeological research in the capital\, colonies\, and provinces of the empire to understand the strategies of Ọyọ expansion and the everyday lives of different segments of its population. In this talk\, Ogundiran juxtaposes the materialities of military conquest\, colonization strategies\, and household politics to tell an intimate story of one of the most important imperial formations in Africa during the Early Modern Period. Here\, the regional and multi-sited scope and the residential contexts of the archaeological research allow for a fine-scale understanding of how domesticity\, gender\, class\, labor\, technology\, mobility\, and the landscape were manipulated to fashion the Ọyọ Empire. In the process\, ideas about personhood\, family\, and sexuality were also transformed. The archaeology of the Ọyọ Empire contributes to a truly global understanding of the Early Modern Period. \nAbout the Speaker\nAkin Ogundiran is the Cardiss Collins Professor of Arts and Sciences\, Professor of History\, and Courtesy Professor of Anthropology and of Black Studies at Northwestern University. He is the current President of the Society of Africanist Archaeologists. His research interests include the topics of empire and community formation in West Africa and the African Diaspora over the past 2\,500 years\, with emphasis on the archaeology and cultural history of the Yoruba World. Professor Ogundiran’s publications include The Yoruba: A New History (Indiana University Press\, 2020)\, recipient of the 2022 Vinson Sutlive Book Prize and the 2022 Isaac Oluwole Delano Prize for Yoruba Studies. He is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London and a Member of the Nigerian Academy of Letters. \nThis year’s AIA National Martha Sharp Joukowsky Lecture is co-sponsored by the AIA–Western Massachusetts Society\, UMass Amherst Department of Classics\, UMass Amherst Department of Anthropology\, and W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies

SUMMARY:Uncovering the Lake George Battlefield
DESCRIPTION:Uncovering the Lake George Battlefield \nSpeaker: Siobhan M. Hart\, Ph.D. Associate Professor and Chair Anthropology Department\, Skidmore College\nLocation: Rye Free Reading Room\, Rye\, NY (Virtual)\nDate: April 17\, 2025\nTime: 6:00 pm to 7:15 pm \nThe Lake George Battlefield State Park (Warren County\, New York) contains the remains of twenty-five years of military action and encampment spanning the French and Indian War through the American Revolution. Within the park are the intact remains of notable battles and evidence of the daily life of soldiering in the 18th century. In 1776\, the area became home to the largest smallpox hospitals in the American colonies\, with several thousand smallpox patients brought and cared for here. This presentation will discuss past and current archaeological research at the Lake George Battlefield State Park and a shift towards the use of non-invasive geophysical techniques\, limited excavation\, and existing collections research. \nSiobhan Hart (she/her) is an anthropologist and professor at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs\, New York. Her work is concerned with using material culture\, place\, and community collaboration to address inequities in the world today. As an anthropological archaeologist\, she is interested in what we know about the past\, how we know it\, and how it matters to people today. She is curator of the Skidmore Archaeological Collection and author of the book Colonialism\, Community\, and Heritage in Native New England (2019\, University Press Florida).
