SUMMARY:Archaeology Abridged with Dr. Kate Liszka "Operation Amethyst: How Egyptian Kings and Queens got their Bling 4\,000 years ago"
DESCRIPTION:Some of the most stunning jewelry from Ancient Egypt is made of amethyst.  Its craftsmanship\, opulence\, and design epitomize quality in the ancient world.  Yet the skill in making this jewelry started long before the cutting and buffing of the raw stone.  Procuring amethyst in the Eastern Desert is fraught with many more perils and problems than Nile Valley craftsmen experienced.  As the Director of the Wadi el-Hudi Expedition to the Eastern Desert\, Liszka leads a team that has studied the remains of these ancient desert expeditions and a team who has firsthand experience of many of the perils that the ancient explorers would have fought as well.  This talk examines the extremes and dangers that thousands of Ancient Egyptians went to in order to acquire these beautiful purple stones for the Pharaoh’s jewels.  By investigating the archaeology\, art\, and inscriptions from Wadi el-Hudi in the Egyptian Eastern Desert\, we navigate through the whole process of amethyst acquisition: from finding\, to mining\, and surviving in the dangers of the desert. \nThis lecture will also be available in American Sign Language. ASL interpretation will be provided by Trail Blazing Interpreters. Due to Zoom limitations on mobile devices and tablets\, participants interested in accessing ASL interpretation should log in using the desktop version of Zoom. \nDr. Kate Liszka is the Benson and Pamela Harer Fellow in Egyptology and Associate Professor of History at California State University San Bernardino. She earned her doctorate at the University of Pennsylvania and from 2012 to 2015 was a Cotsen Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer at Princeton University.  Her areas of specialization include Nubians in Egypt\, the Medjay\, ethnicity and identity in Antiquity\, multicultural Interactions in frontier regions\, the Pangrave Archaeological Culture\, and large-scale mining expeditions in Antiquity.  Dr. Liszka is the Director of the Wadi el-Hudi Expedition in the Egyptian Eastern Desert.
