Archaeology of Beer
2021-10-19 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Chicago) | Indiana
It’s been found in the Egyptian pyramids, the cities of Mesopotamia, Viking longboats, the palace of Machu Picchu, medieval monasteries, and the world’s earliest farming villages. What is it? Beer! Beer has been used for thousands of years to pay taxes, heal the sick, and accompany the dead into the afterlife. Many religions worshiped gods and goddesses of beer and brewing, and some of the earliest known examples of both poetry and law codes are about beer. Join us for an evening webinar exploring the archaeology of beer with Public Archaeologist Patty Hamrick.

Putting the stone back in the Stone Age: New research on the end of the Maltese Temple Period, a lecture by Dr Huw S. Groucutt, Max Planck Independent Research Group leader in Jena, Germany
2021-10-20 18:00 - 19:30 (Europe/Malta) | Indiana
Abstract : After existing for over one thousand years, the Maltese Temple Period ended around 4,300 years ago. Understanding why has been a topic of considerable interest and debate. In this talk Dr Huw S. Groucutt will discuss this topic, outlining recent research on themes such as regional climate change and evidence for the arrival of new groups of humans. Chronological modelling studies are presented which indicate a correlation between archaeological activity and regional climate, which indicate a long-term societal decline in the final centuries of the Temple Period. Yet, does climate change alone explain the end of the Temple Period, or was something else involved, such as new groups of humans arriving, perhaps bringing a plague epidemic with them? Against this backdrop Dr Groucutt will outline recent research on the distribution and character of Maltese chert. Chert was the main kind of stone used to make stone tools in Maltese prehistory, and is therefore crucial to understanding ancient Maltese society, yet it has seen relatively little study. New insights on the distribution and character of chert in Malta are discussed. This offers new perspectives on the character of Temple Period material culture, and the extent to which the Maltese islands were isolated or integrated with neighbouring regions such as Sicily.

Montaukett Indian Archaeology: The Fowler House in East Hampton, NY
2021-10-24 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Rye Free Reading Room, 1061 Boston Post Road, Rye, New York, 10580, United States
The Fowler House provides an extraordinary glimpse into the lives of Montaukett Indians on Long Island over a century ago. This storied house is a powerful reminder that Native American history is an integral part of American heritage locally, regionally, and nationally. The small vernacular saltbox house was once owned by George Fowler, a Montaukett Indian who was born at Indian Fields in Montauk, and whose family was among the last residents of the Indian Fields settlement at the time of their dispossession from the land in the 1870s. The Fowlers and other Montaukett families were pressured by Arthur W. Benson, a real estate developer who purchased Indian Fields at auction, to relocate to Freetown, north of East Hampton Village. The Fowler House now stands on one of these Freetown plots. To learn more about Montaukett history and culture in East Hampton, including the historical communities of Freetown and Indian Fields, see “Disrupting the Narrative: Labor and Survivance for the Montauketts of Eastern Long Island“, the Ph.D. dissertation of the speaker. It offers a rigorous in-depth study of oral traditions, archaeological research and architectural surveys, close analyses of historical records, and long-term ethnographic work with Long Island’s contemporary Montaukett community. Also, take look at “Created Communities: Segregation and the History of Plural Sites on Eastern Long Island, New York“, a recent academic journal article by Dr. McGovern and Dr. Christopher Matthews, which explores the complexities of identity and heritage in communities like Freetown.
Dr. Allison McGovern is an anthropological archaeologist in the greater New York City area whose work integrates archaeology with historical research methods, public engagement, planning, and historic preservation advocacy. She earned her MA in Anthropology from Syracuse University, and MPhil and PhD in Anthropology (Archaeology) from the CUNY Graduate Center. Her doctoral dissertation, entitled Disrupting the Narrative: Labor and Survivance for the Montauketts of Eastern Long Island critically addresses the way Native history is told through archaeology, material culture, and museum exhibition (to be published with University Press of Florida).
She is a professional archaeologist with Richard Grubb and Associates, a cultural resource management firm. Dr. McGovern is also active in archaeological service and outreach as a member of the Professional Archaeologists of New York City, an elected Board member of the New York Archaeological Council, a member of the Suffolk County Parks Historic Trust Committee, and a cultural partner with various local preservation and historical societies.
Dr. McGovern’s research in the Long Island area highlights the experiences of historically marginalized and underrepresented groups through archaeology, oral history, and ethnographic mapping. As a Public Archaeologist, she is interested in making her research available to general audiences, as well as other academic researchers. In 2018, she was awarded a Mark E. Mack Community Engagement Award (Third Place) from the Society of Historical Archaeology for her ongoing work with the Mapping Memories of Freetown project. She is also an inaugural recipient of the Robert D. L. Gardiner “Writing the History of Greater New York” Fellowship at the Gotham Center for New York City History for her forthcoming book Long Island Dirt. In addition to support from the Gardiner Foundation, her work has been supported by the CUNY Graduate Center, Farmingdale State College, the McNeil Center for Early American Studies, the Philips Fund for Native American research, the Mystic Seaport, and the National Endowment of the Humanities.
