SUMMARY:Crafting and Trade: Stone Tool Production and Ancient Maya Economies
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture by Dr. Rachel Horowitz\, “Crafting and Trade: Stone Tool Production and Ancient Maya Economies “.\nAbstract: Today\, and in the past\, economic activities are important ways of making connections between people. In the Maya area\, modern-day Mexico and northern Central America\, economies are less studied than other aspects of past Maya lifeways. In this talk\, I use recently collected data about stone tool production to provide information about the Classic period Maya economy (600-900 CE). This lecture will use a case-study of stone tool producers western Belize to explore the lives of Classic period Maya stone tool producers\, and how stone tools circulated throughout the economy.

SUMMARY:AIA Atlanta: Rune Nyord on the Egyptian Book of the Dead
DESCRIPTION:What: Dr. Rune Nyord is coming home to Emory!\nPlease join us to hear from a real Egyptologist! He will premiere a brand-new lecture based on his research since the publication of his latest book: Yearning for Immortality. This is a special presentation sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA). \nWho: Dr. Rune Nyord is Associate Professor of Ancient Egyptian Art and Archaeology at Emory University\, where he is also Chair of the Art History Department. He is a sought after lecturer around the world\, but his home is Emory University\, and we are the beneficiaries. \nWhy: Dr. Nord will be sharing a brand-new lecture with us! He just published a new book last year Yearning for Immortality: The European Invention of the Ancient Egyptian Afterlife. Since the book was published\, he has new research he is eager to share about the famous Egyptian “Book of the Dead\,” which was a guide to the afterlife for ancient Egyptians. \nWhen: Thursday\, April 16\, at 7:00pm\n(Be on time! Due to Emory’s security policy\, the venue doors will be locked at 7:15pm) \nWhere: Emory University\, White Hall\, Room 207\nAddress: 301 Dowman Dr\, Atlanta\, GA 30322\n( see event website for venue details: http://tiny.cc/NyordAIA ) \nHow: FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!\nRSVP at http://tiny.cc/nyordAIA\nTo guarantee a seat\, you must RSVP by Tuesday\, April 14. (RSVP is not required but is appreciated to ensure we plan accordingly.)\nIf you RSVP by this deadline\, you will be entered into a raffle to win a signed copy of Dr. Nyord’s new book! (You must be present to win.) \nFishburne Parking Deck at 1672 North Decatur Road\, Atlanta\, GA 30322\n( see event website for venue details: http://tiny.cc/nyordAIA ) \nLecture Title: “Egyptian Book of the Dead: Ancient Contexts\, New Conclusions: The Ritual Logic of Book of the Dead Imagery”\nby Rune Nyord \nEvent Website: http://tiny.cc/nyordAIA \nSynopsis\nAre we misreading ancient Egyptian art? For decades\, we’ve interpreted the “Book of the Dead” through a modern lens\, treating its illustrations like a travel brochure for the Great Beyond. This lecture flips the script. By looking at these images through the eyes of the people who used them\, we’ll uncover a new\, ritual-driven logic behind iconic scenes\, like Weighing of the Heart and the Field of Reeds. \nSpeaker’s Bio\nRune Nyord is Associate Professor of Ancient Egyptian Art and Archaeology at Emory University. Before joining Emory in 2018\, he held positions at the University of Copenhagen\, University of Cambridge (Christ’s College)\, and the Free University Berlin. His research focuses on conceptions and experiences of representation\, ontology\, and personhood in ancient Egypt\, especially as evidenced in Middle Kingdom (Middle Bronze Age\, early 2nd millennium BCE) funerary culture\, and drawing on a combination of archaeological and textual sources. He is also interested in the history of the discipline of Egyptology and ways in which it continues to influence contemporary practices and interpretations.
