No matter what your level of archaeological knowledge is, there will be something for everybody.
Have you ever picked up an artifact and wondered about it? Bring it and any information you have about where you found it to our “Stump the Archaeologist” table so we can identify it for you! Other events include prehistoric and historic artifact displays from local archaeological sites, artifact identification, stone tool-making demonstrations, Early Human displays, and lab tours. There will also be kids events (for kids and the young at heart), with activities such as prehistoric hand-painting, wampum beading, and pottery refitting. All of the archaeology laboratories (including the faunal, botanical, and geophysical labs) will open their doors to the public during the event. Travel back in time and come see how archaeology is done at this free event!
Archaeology Day is a tradition in the Anthropology Department that allows IUP students and faculty to share their knowledge and love of the past with others. The annual Open House is held during Archaeology Month and is celebrated in conjunction with International Archaeology Day, a celebration of archaeology and the thrill of discovery held every year by the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA). Every October, the AIA and archaeological organizations across the United States, Canada, and abroad present archaeological programs and activities for people of all ages and interests. Come indulge your inner Indiana Jones and see how real archaeology is done.

Ecological Aquaculture and Domesticated Waterscapes in Ancient Maya Society, Subsistence, and Art in Chiapas, Mexico
2022-10-15 12:30 - 13:30 (America/Phoenix) | Pueblo Grande Museum, 4619 E Washington St, Phoenix, AZ, 85034, United States
Dr. Joel Palka
Associate Professor, School of Human Evolution and Social Change
Arizona State University
Dr. Palka’s ongoing archaeological and anthropological project at Lake Mensabak in Chiapas explores past to present Maya use of modified waterscapes for fishing and managing plant communities. At this and other sites in the region, Maya people collectively dug canals and made reservoirs for large-scale, integrated ecological aquaculture. Like domesticated landscapes for agriculture, people in the Mesoamerican culture area engineered water works for harvesting fish, turtles, waterfowl, and aquatic plants for household consumption. This presentation covers insights from archaeology, Maya collaborations, art, and ethnohistory indicating that fisheries can be added to current research on raised fields, water control, subsistence ecology, and community organization in Mesoamerica.

2022-10-15 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex, 801 Jefferson Ave., Moundsville, WV, 26041, United States
MOUNDSVILLE, W.Va. — Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex will celebrate International Archaeology Day on October 15 with a program titled The Real Bebbanburh: The Castle That Started it all in Netflix’s Hit Drama “The Last Kingdom”. The program starts at 2:00 pm on Saturday, October 15, and is open to the public free of charge.
The program will be presented by Lauren E. Nofi, a community archaeologist who has worked at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and Colonial Williamsburg in the United States; also in Ireland, Scotland and the United Kingdom. Nofi holds a B.A. in Anthropology from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA, and an M.A. in Archaeology (with Merit) from the University of Sheffield in Sheffield, UK.

This castle features as the hero Uhtred’s motivation in both The Last Kingdom books by Bernard Cornwell (who also wrote the Sharpe’s Rifles series) and subsequent television series. The castle is real, but is Uhtred? Moreover, was the castle ever worth all that trouble? This presentation is appropriate for those both familiar and unfamiliar with the series, by an archaeologist who has personal experience excavating at Bebbanburh, now called Bamburgh,

American Research Center in Egypt- Pennsylvania Chapter (ARCE-PA) Lecture: Dr. Luigi Prada
2022-10-15 15:30 - 17:30 (America/New_York) | Penn Museum, 3260 South St, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, United States
Saturday, October 15
Dr. Luigi Prada
Asst. Professor of Egyptology,  Uppsala University (Sweden)
“If a crocodile has sex with her, she will die swiftly”:  Dreams and Divination in Ancient Egypt”
3:30pm
Classroom L2  , Penn Museum
Abstract
In the ancient world, the Egyptians had a reputation for excelling in divination, the practice of gaining knowledge about the future via occult channels. Many types of divination were known and habitually practiced in ancient Egypt, primarily by temple priests who employed specific handbooks for this purpose. Such arts included astrology, the study of the behavior of animals (so-called animal omina), oil divination (aka lecanomancy), and more. But one particularly popular branch of divination was oneiromancy, that is, dream interpretation.
This talk will introduce the audience to new research on ancient Egyptian oneiromancy, discussing in detail the workings of dream interpretation manuals and what light they shed on our knowledge of the ancient Egyptian mind.
Biography:
Dr. Luigi Prada is Assistant Professor of Egyptology at Uppsala University, Sweden. Formerly, he was a member of the Egyptology departments of Oxford, Heidelberg, and Copenhagen University. Within Egyptology, he specializes in textual, religious, and social studies, with particular focus on the Late and Graeco-Roman Periods. He is passionate about fieldwork, and is the Assistant Director of the Oxford/Uppsala epigraphic team working with Egyptian colleagues in Elkab in southern Egypt; he has also participated in fieldwork in Sudan. He is currently President of the Society of Friends and Collaborators of the Museo Egizio in Turin (ACME).

Grab a trowel, hop into the trench, and join archaeology professors and students from SUNY Brockport as we uncover the story of a 19th century homestead located at the Nature Center. Did it burn down or collapse? Where was the kitchen? Whose bones and teeth are found in the yard?

At Family Archaeology Days, participants will literally be in the trenches as they learn about the history of Frost Town and the basics of archaeological fieldwork, including:
Methods of excavation
How to properly clean artifacts
Tricks for identifying artifacts
This event is part of a multi-year project that provides public access to Frost Town Archaeology (FTA), a SUNY Brockport archaeology field school site that’s located at the Cumming Nature Center. Students in FTA focus on the Hall Homestead site, a residence built by an early settler of Frost Town. During Family Archaeology Days, visitors have the opportunity to help excavate a less fragile homestead located closer to the Visitor Center, complementing the work being done at the Hall Homestead.
Note- the dig event is sold out as of 10/13/2022, but you can still visit the nature center!

Rethinking Maya Heritage: Past and Present (Free Hybrid Lecture)
2022-10-20 18:00 - 19:15 (America/New_York) | Geological Lecture Hall, 24 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138, United States
Richard M. Leventhal, Professor, Department of Anthropology and Executive Director, Penn Cultural Heritage Center, Penn Museum, University of Pennsylvania
The story of Maya culture as a once-great civilization that built towering pyramids in the jungles of Central America was developed and popularized by national governments, anthropologists, and archaeologists. Previously unable to control the story of their own culture, Maya communities today are actively reframing their heritage and centering their most recent history—not the distant past—to regain power and self-determination. Richard Leventhal will discuss the importance and role that the nineteenth-century Caste War—one of the largest and most successful Indigenous rebellions—is playing in the Maya’s contested heritage.
