SUMMARY:The Living Legacy Of Amazonia's “Lost” Garden Cities: Three Decades of Collaborative Archaeology in the Xingu Indigenous Territory\, Brazil.
DESCRIPTION:This lecture gives an overview of collaborative archaeology and cultural heritage studies by the author and Brazilian colleagues with the Kuikuro Indigenous nation in the Território Indígena do Xingu (TIX) of the southern Brazilian Amazon. The project was Initiated in 1992\, born out of joint activities developed for the UN ecological summit in Rio de Janeiro\, and continues uninterrupted until today\, including several phases of collaborative work sponsored by UF. During this time\, three generations of Indigenous research participants have been trained in archaeological mapping and excavation\, remote-sensed data collection and mapping with precision GPS and\, more recently\, lidar and photogrammetry by colleagues at the Museu Goeldi in Brazil and in the USA. These joint discoveries revealed a genuinely Amazonian form of pre-European urbanism\, “garden cities\,” which represents an important example of high population densities and sophisticated forest and wetland management systems in the Amazon before 1492. Over the past five years\, lidar has revealed several similar cases of Indigenous urbanism and urbanized landscapes in the Amazon\, but the Xingu is unique in the degree to which contemporary descendant communities carry on the legacy of these ancient civilizations\, extending over two millennia in the TIX. Beyond these archaeological discoveries\, this presentation explores questions of collaboration\, knowledge sovereignty\, and self-determination of the Kuikuro and other Indigenous peoples across the Amazon.

SUMMARY:Unearthing the Ancient World: Archaeological Dig Educator Workshop
DESCRIPTION:PreK-12 educators are invited to experience the Jewish Museum’s new simulated archaeological dig! Learn about the archaeological process and discover what artifacts can teach us about how groups of people lived\, worked\, and interacted in ancient times. View original ancient artifacts\, excavate replicas of collection objects in the simulated dig\, and create a mosaic or clay artifact in the Museum’s art studio. All participants will receive an educator pass for free admission to the Jewish Museum for one year and a copy of Archaeology: A Resource for Educators.\nNew York State teachers may receive 2 CTLE hours.

SUMMARY:Archaeology Day of the Dead
DESCRIPTION:The activities in this event will consist of the following: \n1. Archaeological Outreach at the Zoo\nThe Fresno Chaffee Zoo will host a major celebration for Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) on Sunday\, November 1st\, and has invited the Society to participate. Recognizing the high attendance anticipated for this event\, the Society will host an educational table staffed by our board members. This presence will allow us to engage with the public\, promote the importance of archaeology and anthropological studies\, distribute educational materials\, and recruit new members. Archaeology aligns perfectly with the thematic essence of Día de los Muertos; it serves as a profound reminder that death is not a final erasure\, but rather an entry point for studying the vibrant cultures\, civilizations\, and enduring lessons left behind by past generations. \n2. Guided Tour of the Kingdoms of Asia Exhibit\nThe Society will host an in-person\, guided tour of the Fresno Chaffee Zoo’s newly opened Kingdoms of Asia exhibit. This immersive installation features monumental replicas of ancient Khmer architectural marvels and sacred sites\, including the Bayon Temple\, Ta Prohm Temple\, and Kbal Sapean. The original 13th-century Cambodian temples are globally renowned\, highly studied by archaeologists and art historians\, and have served as iconic filming locations for several Western movies. This specialized tour will delve deeply into the historical significance of these structures\, decoding their rich symbolic elements and explaining their roles in ancient Southeast Asian cultures.
