The Hoover Fakes: How Defrauding a Presidential Library Exposed the Brazen Sale of Forged Antiquities (Dr. Bjorn Anderson and Erin Daly)
2021-10-11 17:30 - 19:00 (America/Chicago) | 805 Southlawn Drive, 805 Southlawn Drive, Iowa City, IA, 52245
Join the Iowa Society of the AIA for our October International Archaeology Day virtual lecture! “The Hoover Fakes: How Defrauding a Presidential Library Exposed the Brazen Sale of Forged Antiquities”
In April 2019, the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum cancelled a planned exhibition, Written in Stone: The Treasures of Eden and The Rosetta Stone, noting in a press release that “questions were raised about the authenticity of some of the items that were loaned to the Hoover Library and Museum by the Origins Institute Museum.” Two years later, in August 2021, police raided an antiquities shop, the Sadigh Gallery, in New York City. The owner, Mehrdad Sadigh, was indicted by the New York County District Attorney’s Office for multiple offenses tied to a large-scale and decades-long forgery operation involving the manufacture and sale of thousands of fake artifacts.
In this lecture, Anderson and Daly present the evidence that that led them to determine that the objects loaned to the Hoover were most likely forgeries traceable to the Sadigh Gallery. They also discuss the broader problem of fakes and the difficulties faced by institutions and individuals in determining authenticity.

Excavate Virtual Egyptian Artifacts Online
2021-10-12 | TX
This activity is fun for all ages. Play the archaeology inspired Excavate! Egypt™ game online in celebration of International Archaeology Day. This is a virtual all-day event.
Explore four culturally important “dig sites” including Alexandria, Giza, Valley of the Kings, and Karnak. There are over 50 artifacts to uncover and analyze. Explore a worker’s village in Giza and the temple of Karnak, that highlight very different lifestyles and illustrate social class differences. Investigate the Valley of the Kings, where past Pharaohs are mummified. Examine the library at Alexandria to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of learning and studying. Visit the sites in any order; your progress will be recorded in journals that log collected artifacts, field notes and achievements.  At each location, make meaning of how artifacts were used through a series of analysis questions and reports that help you consider the historical context of the primary source artifacts to make connections.

Did We Evolve to Exercise? (Free Virtual Lecture)
2021-10-13 18:00 - 19:15 (America/New_York) | TX
Daniel Lieberman, Edwin M. Lerner II Professor of Biological Sciences, Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University
Exercise is a paradox: everyone knows it is healthy, but most of us struggle to do it. Further, as technology and machines increasingly replace human labor, fewer people are getting enough exercise. In this talk, Daniel Lieberman will explain how an evolutionary and anthropological perspective on exercise can help. How much exercise did we evolve to do? Is exercise really a magic bullet? Why, how, and to what extent does exercise slow aging and promote health? Is there a best way to exercise? And, most importantly, how can we help each other exercise without nagging or coercing?

Series supported by a generous gift from Drs. Herman and Joan Suit

How Beer Made Kings in Early Egypt (Free Virtual Lecture)
2021-10-14 18:00 - 19:15 (America/New_York) | TX
Matthew Douglas Adams, Director, Abydos Archaeology; Senior Research Scholar, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University
The remains of a 5000-year-old brewery found in the ancient Egyptian city of Abydos are providing insights into the relationship between large-scale beer production and the development of kingship in Egypt. Archaeological evidence indicates that the Abydos brewery produced beer on a truly industrial scale—something unparalleled in early Egypt. Matthew Adams will share findings from recent excavations at the brewery and will consider it in context as part of a broad pattern of royal activity at the site that served to define the very nature of kingship at the beginning of Egypt’s history.

Hopewellians in a Non-Hopewellian World: The Rise of Elaborate Ceremonialism and Long Range Interaction in Precontact Northern Ohio
2021-10-14 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | TX
Evidence of precontact Native American ceremonialism is generally rare in northern Ohio. Only a few isolated mound sites, such as Esch in northcentral Ohio, were thought to have actively participated in the Hopewell Interaction Sphere of southern Ohio. More recent work, however, has identified additional localities in northern Ohio that produce classic Interaction Sphere artifacts of copper, Flint Ridge chert, and mica. Some of these are mound sites, but others feature ceremonial enclosures of earth and wood. Recent investigations at the Heckelman site in the Huron River valley of north-central Ohio reveal significant evidence of domestic occupation as well as the remains of elaborate ceremonialism that points to direct interactions with Hopewell societies to the south.
All attendees must RSVP for the meeting to receive the Teams invitation. Please email your RSVP to Dr. Evi Gorogianni, eg20@uakron.edu, before 5pm on Oct. 14nd

Join us for this live, interactive presentation on Zoom!
Hustling and bustling to starkly quiet, the life of one of Utah’s largest railroad towns of the 1870s-1890s remains part of the historical and archaeological record.
Archaeologists with the Utah State Historic Preservation Office and the Bureau of Land Management partnered with the Chinese Railroad Workers’ Descendants Association to complete two seasons of fieldwork at the town of Terrace, home to Utah’s third largest Chinatown in 1870. Though ravaged by time and vandals, the archaeological heritage of this site is rich and helping connect living peoples to this past experience. In honor of International Archaeology Day, this presentation will honor of the voices of those past residents of Terrace through the Chinese descendant community, archaeological discoveries, and work of numerous volunteers.

Archaeology Day at the FCM
2021-10-16 | Frontier Culture Museum, 1290 Richmond Ave, Staunton, VA, 24401, United States
Experimental archaeology is a key component of living history. Historical documents like diaries and newspapers only give you so much information. Likewise with excavated materials: sometimes you just don’t know what an artifact was used for or by whom. Experimental archaeology allows for scientists to explore the creation methods and use of everyday items, in order to better understand the archaeological collection.
For Archaeology Day 2021, the Frontier Culture Museum is presenting a day of experimental archaeology. Some of the activities are things the interpreters do on site everyday, which shows how closely living history and archaeology are linked. Other activities are old favorites, like our dig boxes and Eastern Woodland pottery firing.
