During Sweden’s Age of Great Power (Stormaktstiden)\, trade routes became strategic assets though efforts to control them often failed. \nGlobal transactions later fueled the Industrial Revolution and continues to influence politics. From ancient customs to modern cooperation\, trade remains a defining force in the region’s history – and its future.

La Follette Lecture DESCRIPTION:The Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures currently houses the Edward Gans Collection of Seals\, comprising almost seven hundred seals and seal-related objects from a variety of periods\, extending from the Neolithic Middle East to Post-classical Mesoamerica. Since 2023\, a new team of Berkeley scholars has been working on the collection to prepare it for digital publication\, and this talk arises from the provenance research undertaken as part of that project. This talk will highlight the fascinating story of how the Gans Collection came to be and the legacy of Nazi persecution that shaped the collection’s history\, while also featuring several Sasanian seals in the collection of particular significance. This is one of the annual Ellen and Charles S. La Follette Lectures.

The first half of this record reflects the mid-Holocene expansion of surface water regionally\, but the second half reflects a regime of low-frequency\, high-magnitude flooding to which lakeside dwellers adapted their land use. Besides affecting settlement choices\, fluctuating surface water impacted the potential of regional travel by boat\, connecting Lake Pithlachocco to places far afield during extreme hydroperiods and stranding it from flow during extreme droughts.

And why does Matthew consistently revise his sources to describe Jesus’s burial as costly? Matthew emphasizes that Jesus was anointed with expensive spices and buried in a rich patron’s new tomb\, which makes it appear as though he wanted to portray Jesus as receiving an elite burial. If\, however\, we read Matthew’s descriptions of burials in light of archaeological evidence of changing mortuary practices in provincial Syria and Judea\, where the gospel was composed sometime in the late first century\, his motives appear more complicated. Quick though he is to indicate that Jesus received a rich man’s burial\, Matthew is clear that this did not include any of the lavish displays of status that were increasingly common on elite tombs in Matthew’s context. Through a critical analysis of both text and funerary archaeology\, this presentation explores how the author of Matthew and his earliest audiences responded to and participated in cultural and socioeconomic changes induced by geopolitical shifts in the Roman East. \nBiography\nDr. Tony Keddie is Associate Professor of Ancient Mediterranean Religions and Fellow of the Ronald Nelson Smith Chair in Classics and Christian Origins at the University of Texas at Austin. An award-winning social historian\, Keddie’s interdisciplinary research focuses on the intersections of religion and economics in the Roman East\, particularly among Jews and Christians in Judea and Asia Minor. He is the author of four books\, including Class and Power in Roman Palestine; co-editor of five books\, including Revelation and Material Religion in the Roman East; and author of more than two dozen articles. \nRegistration required.

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.

Kohona DESCRIPTION:Dr. Palitha Kohona — Sri Lanka’s former Permanent Representative to the United Nations\, former Head of the UN Treaty Section\, and former Ambassador to China — discusses the importance of Sri Lanka to the Chinese Silk Road. Sitting in the middle of the Indian Ocean at the southern tip of India\, meeting point of monsoon winds and swirling ocean currents\, Sri Lanka occupies a strategic geographical position. Throughout history\, Lanka has attracted a multitude of sailors from friendly and marauding navel powers\, merchants seeking its exotic products or exchanging them for wares from distant lands\, Buddhist monks searching for the sublime Dhamma\, invading empire builders who vainly attempted to conquer the island.  Archaeology suggests that hundreds\, perhaps thousands\, of ships from China visited Lanka\, serving as a lucrative hub and central link in trading ventures within the Southern Maritime Silk Route. \nRegister for the online stream here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1749161622499?aff=oddtdtcreator URL:https://www.archaeological.org/event/lanka-the-crucial-hub-of-the-ancient-maritime-silk-road-an-online-lecture-for-international-archaeology-day-with-his-excellency-former-ambassador-dr-palitha-t-b-kohona-of-sri-lanka-to-the-united/ LOCATION: CATEGORIES:International Archaeology Day ORGANIZER;CN="Michele Kidwell Gilbert":MAILTO:archaeology@nacnyc.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260303T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260303T160000 DTSTAMP:20250911T204533Z CREATED:20250730T142725Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250911T204533Z UID:10008087-1772550000-1772553600@www.archaeological.org SUMMARY:"Across Jordan in the Footsteps of Alois Musil: Archaeology and Discovery" with Sylva Pavlasová DESCRIPTION:Join a fascinating online lecture about Alois Musil with Sylva Pavlasová\, head of the Mashrek unit of the Middle East Department at the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs\, who recently returned from Jordan\, a nation rich with traces from Neolithic\, Nabataean\, Roman\, Early Christian\, Byzantine\, and Islamic times to the establishment of the modern Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Musil\, a theologian\, orientalist\, and explorer\, was nicknamed Sheikh Mousa by local Bedouin tribes.   A major Czech scholar of the 19th and 20th Century\, fluent in 35 dialects of Arabic\, leader of two Bedouin tribes with friends amongst local Arabs — Musil amassed important knowledge related to Jordan´s history.  In 1898\, he rediscovered the Islamic desert castle of Qusayr ‘Amra\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Discussions swirling around both have centered on faithfulness to Homer’s original stories\, but what about the actual historical context and content? This lecture will briefly put these two movies\, which have brought Homer’s epics to the silver screen\, into historical context by discussing what we know (or think we know) about the end of the Late Bronze Age\, the identity of the Sea Peoples\, whether there was actually a Trojan Horse\, and other questions that are likely to have come up around the dinner table. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

For the historical Cleopatra VII\, the barge was a political and religious platform for shaping positive interactions with diverse audiences in the ancient Mediterranean\, meant to stabilize and secure her realm and shape a vision for future authority\, with power strongly founded in the past. In Egypt\, Cleopatra reinforced connections with local powerbrokers and processed between ritual centers\, a dynamic divine ruler enacting key functions that ensured the practical and sacred continuity of her realm. Her famous Nile Cruise with Julius Caesar was a sacred pageant that featured her newly secured strength as queen\, goddess\, partner and chosen of the gods. Her notorious meeting with Antony on the barque of Isis was both a ritualized performance of royal leadership and the reassertion of dynastic claims\, the launch of a new Empire rising in the Eastern Mediterranean. \nZoom option – requires registration: https://tulane.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3pyUju-wQC634ulV7NY_Ag URL:https://www.archaeological.org/event/imperial-barge-cleopatra-the-goddess/ LOCATION:Joseph Merrick Jones Hall 204\, Tulane University\, 6801 Freret St\, New Orleans\, LA\, 70118\, United States CATEGORIES:AIA Lecture Program,International Archaeology Day,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.archaeological.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Futrell-AIA-D-Slide-Image.png ORGANIZER;CN="Susann Lusnia":MAILTO:slusnia@tulane.edu GEO:29.9395385;-90.1212597 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Joseph Merrick Jones Hall 204 Tulane University 6801 Freret St New Orleans LA 70118 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=6801 Freret St:geo:-90.1212597,29.9395385 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261006T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261006T203000 DTSTAMP:20260828T131940Z CREATED:20260828T131940Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260828T131940Z UID:10009204-1791313200-1791318600@www.archaeological.org SUMMARY:Milo Rossi: Offline and In Person (Philadelphia\, PA) DESCRIPTION:Internet sensation Milo Rossi — better known to his 3+ million followers as “miniminuteman” — is coming to Philadelphia for an unforgettable evening of science\, skepticism\, and side-splitting commentary.

The games consist of 3 events in which teams compete to show off their skills and knowledge in archeology-based games. The first is throwing a spear with an atlatl. This takes some skill\, so most teams get together and practice before the event. Archeoletes throw for both distance and accuracy during the competition. The second event is the trivia contest. This event changes slightly each year based on the gameshow format that we choose\, but archeoletes answer questions about archeology\, important archeological sites\, archeological ethics\, and other topics related to the theme. The third event is the Excavation to Curation Obstacle course. The course changes slightly each year\, but teams work together to make their way through the simulated stages of archeological research.

The schooner ran aground before burning and sinking off Valcour Island. It was raised 158 years later\, disassembled\, then stored over the next 81 years before being returned in pieces to NHHC for documentation\, study\, and reconstruction in the form of scale models. \nIn stark contrast\, the gunboat Spitfire still rests intact on the Lake Champlain lakebed in remarkable condition and has been recently visited and documented by Lake Champlain Maritime Museum and NHHC\, with further work planned to preserve this sole intact in situ US naval vessel from the Revolutionary War. \nThis presentation will focus on the history and archaeology of the battle and of these specific wrecks from Valcour. At the end of the presentation\, we will introduce a new project for the Navy and partners\, with a long-term goal of recovering and conserving a rare WWII artifact for display in the planned new National Museum of the US Navy.
