SUMMARY:AIA Türkiye: From Göbekli Tepe to Mount Nemrut & the Tigris River tour
DESCRIPTION:Travel with us beyond classical Türkiye\, with its monumental\, Greco-Roman ruins and Aegean sea backdrops. Find more history–and prehistory–amid the beauty of southeastern Türkiye\, on a route less traveled\, between Tarsus\, the birthplace of St. Paul\, and Diyarbakır\, set along the banks of the famous Tigris River that helped form the cradle of civilization. Along the way you will see the world’s earliest monumental temples\, dating back over 10\,000 years; explore excellent archaeological and mosaic museums; and enjoy diverse architecture\, from beehive-style mud houses to rock tombs\, and early monasteries to mosques. Enjoy local cuisine\, perhaps especially during our two-night stay in Gaziantep\, a city famous across Türkiye for its cuisine; and explore bazaars and workshops with local artisans and craftspeople. Our AIA lecturer is intimately familiar with this region’s deep history and diverse cultures. \nHighlights include: \n– Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe\, two prehistoric sites dating back to 9500-8000 B.C.\, suggesting that complex societies and monumental architecture existed well before the advent of agriculture\n– The world-famous\, 19-foot-tall statues and burial sanctuary of King Nimrod (Antiochus I Theos)\, at more than 7\,000 feet above sea level in Mount Nemrut National Park\n– Karatepe-Aslantaş National Park\, Türkiye’s first open-air museum\, with well-preserved Hittite ruins and statues dating from the 8th century B.C.\n– Dara\, one of the most important trade centers of ancient Mesopotamia\, featuring rock tombs dating back to the 5th century A.D.\n– The flooded ancient city of Hasankeyf (flooded in 2020 for dam construction)\, whose artifacts were removed to the Batman Archaeological Museum that we will visit\, and some of whose important structures we will visit at a new\, nearby location\n– Diyarbakır’s city walls\, the second-longest on Earth (after China’s Great Wall)\, which contain a castle and a medieval church\n– Fascinating museums\, such as the Zeugma Mosaic Museum\, the world’s largest mosaic museum\, with exquisite Hellenistic Greek and Roman mosaics; and the Haleplibahçe Mosaic Museum\, a domed structure protecting a Roman villa complex that was saved from a 2006 urban construction project\n– An optional\, post-tour extension to Lake Van\, including visits to Van (Tushpa) Castle\, center of the Kingdom of Urartu in the 9th to 6th centuries B.C.\, and the ruins of the Urartian fortress of Sarduri-Hinili at Çavuştepe

SUMMARY:Isotope Analysis in Bioarchaeology: An Introduction
DESCRIPTION:This 2-hour webinar provides a broad introduction to how archaeologists use isotope analysis of biological materials to understand the past. \nAimed at researchers\, heritage management professionals\, and students who are curious about isotope analysis but have no previous experience with it\, the webinar starts with the question “what is an isotope?” and guides participants through the theory and practice of the four most common types of isotope analysis applied in bioarchaeological research: carbon\, nitrogen\, strontium\, and oxygen. \nAfter completing the webinar\, participants will understand how bioarchaeological isotope analysis works\, how the results of isotope analysis are presented and interpreted\, and how isotope analysis can add value to both academic and commercial projects. After completing the webinar\, a Continuing Professional Development certificate can be provided to participants upon request.

SUMMARY:Two Lands\, Two Worlds\, One Human | International Archaeology Day
DESCRIPTION:TWO LANDS\, TWO WORLDS\, ONE HUMAN | IAD 2026 \nSATURDAY | 17 OCTOBER 2026 | 9:00–16:00 | FREE ENTRY \nArcheopark Pavlov invites you to International Archaeology Day on Saturday\, 17 October. This year’s programme will connect two seemingly distant worlds: Palaeolithic southern Moravia and Tierra del Fuego at the very southern tip of South America. The full-day programme will include guided tours\, a lecture\, an exhibition and a themed game\, all available free of charge throughout the day. \nGuided tours of the permanent exhibition will take place at 10:00\, 12:00 and 14:00\, introducing visitors to the world of the mammoth hunters who lived beneath the Pálava Hills 30\,000 years ago. \nAn important part of the programme will also be the accompanying exhibition Tierra del Fuego\, which has been on display at Archeopark Pavlov since May this year. \nThe exhibition explores the lives of the Indigenous peoples of Tierra del Fuego\, one of the most remote and harshest regions on our planet. Drawing on archaeological\, ethnological and ethnoarchaeological knowledge\, it presents their everyday lives\, subsistence strategies\, rituals and mythology. It also highlights the remarkable ability of humans to adapt to extreme conditions and reflects on how easily our first impressions of another culture can distort our ideas of what “civilisation” means. \nAt 13:00\, the programme will continue with a lecture by Jiří Svoboda\, the exhibition’s author\, who will take visitors deeper into the world of Tierra del Fuego and the themes explored in the exhibition. \nThroughout the day\, visitors will also be able to take part in a themed game directly in the exhibition\, exploring the stories of Tierra del Fuego\, and in particular the stories of travellers and researchers who set out to discover and study this distant world. The game is aimed primarily at older children and adults and offers another way to explore the subject. \nThis year\, International Archaeology Day at Archeopark Pavlov will connect two distant parts of the world and two different periods of human history. Although they are separated by thousands of kilometres and tens of thousands of years\, both bring us face to face with the human being\, their ability to adapt to their environment\, create their own culture and find ways to live and survive in the world around them. \nProgramme subject to change. The programme is conducted in Czech only.

SUMMARY:Knapping the First Tools: Teen Saturdays Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Knapping\, or chipping sharp edges into stone\, is one of the earliest known technologies. Millions of years ago\, our ancestors learned to shape stone tools for hunting and survival. In this workshop\, teens (ages 13–18) will explore how early stone tools were made and why they matter. \nWork with Dylan Flicker\, a PhD student in Archaeology\, to see how striking a rock in just the right way can turn it into a useful tool. Try your hand at safely shaping and using stone tools to understand the skill\, precision\, and problem-solving involved in this ancient technology. Participants attending this workshop should wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. \nTeen Saturdays Workshops are offered bilingually in Spanish and English. They are designed to build community and improve the museum experience for multicultural teens. Snacks provided! \n$10 fee includes free admission to all HMSC museums immediately following the workshop. \nTeens will receive a free admission pass (worth $15) for a return visit if they attend one of the three sessions. \nOctober 17: Knapping the First Tools: Teen Saturdays Workshop\nNovember 14: Making Paleolithic Cave Art\nDecember 12: Animal Stories from the Past \nPresented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.
