SUMMARY:Cruising the Adriatic: The Best of Slovenia & Croatia
DESCRIPTION:I invite you to join Archaeological Institute of America lecturer and host Ivancica (Vanca) Schrunk aboard a modern\, 18-cabin yacht for an early autumn cruise along the spectacular coast of Croatia. Romans\, Byzantines\, Venetians\, Ottomans\, and Austrians have vied for control of this strategic coastline that is dotted with over 1\,000 islands. In a region well worth exploring for its natural beauty alone\, you will visit spellbinding archaeological sites\, impressive cathedrals\, dramatic palaces\, and ancient city centers. Begin the program in Slovenia’s capital city\, Ljubljana\, a city with roots back to Roman times. Discover magical Lake Bled\, monumental karst caves\, and mountain aeries before continuing to Pula\, Croatia\, to begin your seven-night Adriatic cruise from the Istrian Peninsula to Dubrovnik\, visiting Mali Lošinj\, Zadar\, Šibenik\, Krka National Park\, Split\, Hvar\, and Korcula along the way. A leisurely pace allows for free time in town to sample local cuisine and mingle with locals.

SUMMARY:Oman & the UAE: Crossroads of the Indian Ocean & Arabian Gulf with optional\, pre-tour extension to Qatar!
DESCRIPTION:Delve into the cultural and geographical diversity of Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the company of seasoned study leader Trevor Marchand. Our custom-designed itinerary highlights ancient sites and historical monuments\, and helps illustrate how influential geography has been on the region’s history and how the region’s maritime history has linked it to elsewhere in Arabia and as far as Africa and southern Asia. Begin with three full days in the UAE. Still a little fishing village as of the 18th century\, Dubai was a center of pearl exports until the 1930s. Similarly\, Abu Dhabi was founded as a simple pearl and fishing village. After the discovery of oil in the Arabian Gulf\, Dubai became one of the wealthiest cities in the world\, and Abu\nDhabi was transformed into a luxurious modern metropolis and the capital of the UAE. But this region was settled many centuries earlier\, and we will observe how the old and the new co-exist in intriguing ways. Spend the balance of our time exploring Oman\, which dominated for centuries the maritime trade routes from Moorish Spain to Canton (modern-day Guangzhou\, China). Her seafaring merchants traded in such commodities of civilization as frankincense\, myrrh\, silk\, gold\, spices\, and coffee. Today\, Oman takes pride in sharing its rich history with visitors\, as demonstrated in its world-class museums. Altogether we will learn about these countries’ histories\, cultures\, art\, and architecture while witnessing their great geographical diversity\, from spectacular\ndeserts and wadis to pristine coastlines\, including a reserve for the endangered green sea turtle.

SUMMARY:Second International Symposium on the ARCHAEOLOGY OF WESTERN ANATOLIA
DESCRIPTION:We are glad to inform you that an international symposium on Archaeology and history of the Cayster (Küçük Menderes) Valley in south-eastern inland part of Izmir\, Turkey will take place on November 17-18\, 2023 on Zoom. Küçük Menderes (“Little Meander”)\, Cayster River or Kaystros River (Ancient Greek: Κάϋστρος\, French: Caÿstre) or Caystrus River is a river south of İzmir\, Turkey. It flows westward between the ranges of Mount Tmolos and Mount Messogis through “wide\, thickly settled and productive” plains (Strabo 13.4.13). Cayster (Küçük Menderes) Valley had an economy based on agriculture in ancient and medieval times as well as today. Although the settlement history of the Cayster (Küçük Menderes) Valley begins with prehistoric times\, it can be said with the help of archaeological data that the urbanization extends to the Hellenistic Period. Intended to bring together scholars of Greek\, Roman and Byzantine archaeology to discuss a range of issues concerning Cayster (Küçük Menderes) Valley\, this electronic conference is an excellent opportunity to increase our knowledge about this region. Papers engageging the following themes and topics are invited: \n– Cayster (Küçük Menderes) Valley during the Archaic\, Classical\, Hellenistic\, Roman and Byzantine periods\,\n– Archaeological field projects in Cayster (Küçük Menderes) Valley\,\n– Ancient Greek\, Latin and Byzantine authors and other textual as well as cartographic sources\,\n– Miscellanea. \nOn all themes and questions\, all approaches and methods susceptible to bring some progress to our current knowledge are of course welcome: archaeology\, ancient history\, historical geography\, epigraphy\, numismatic\, history of art\, cultural anthropology etc. The symposium will take place virtually on Zoom. All the readings and discussions in our e-conference will be in English\, and recorded for later viewing on YouTube. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in 2025. The symposium is free of charge.\nWe would be delighted\, if you could consider contributing to our symposium and contact us with the required information below before September 9\, 2023. Our e-mail address is: ergun.lafli@deu.edu.tr\nThe organizers seek to widen participation at this symposium\, and would like to encourage colleagues from all parts of the world to attend. We kindly request that you alert any interested researches\, colleagues and students within your research community who would be interested in participating at this e-conference\, either by forwarding our first circular and poster through Academia\, Researchgate\, Facebook\, Twitter\, Instagram or other similar social media\, or by printing them and displaying in your institution. Please share them also on your ListServs. We hope that you will be able to join us on Zoom\, and look forward to seeing you!
