SUMMARY:Regions and Other Constructs in Pre-Hellenistic Western Anatolia
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Prof. Jana Mokrišová (Brown University) \nThe AIA’s 2026 Rodney S. Young Memorial Lecture  \nAbstract:\nWestern Anatolia was a multicultural space\, with much scholarly attention given to the interaction between Greeks and non-Greeks and maritime connectivity with the Greek world. A crucial reason for this is the tradition of post-Bronze Age migrations and the fact that by the Archaic period many coastal communities here were ‘Greek’\, explicitly claiming Greek identity as well as employing Greek institutions\, cult\, and language. This happened in Ionia and most of Aeolis\, while Karia and Lydia maintained a stronger connection to indigenous western Anatolian traditions. Surprisingly\, the way in which this process unfolded is still incompletely understood and often contested. \nDrawing on settlement patterns from the end of the Late Bronze Age to the Classical period\, this talk will shed light on the way in which archaeologists and historians have drawn cultural regional boundaries in western Anatolia. It will discuss their use as markers of connectivity and trace their development over time. It will then zoom onto the coastal and riverine corridors between Ephesos and Lydia to show that regionalization as a framework fails to account for cultural ambivalence that many communities there must have felt in their daily lives.

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:Arkansas ArcheOlympics
DESCRIPTION:The ArcheOlympics is an annual competition that brings together teams of archeology students\, Arkansas Archeological Society members\, middle school students\, and anyone else interested in archeology and having fun. The games consist of 3 events in which teams compete to show off their skills and knowledge in archeology-based games. The first is throwing a spear with an atlatl. This takes some skill\, so most teams get together and practice before the event. Archeoletes throw for both distance and accuracy during the competition. The second event is the trivia contest. This event changes slightly each year based on the gameshow format that we choose\, but archeoletes answer questions about archeology\, important archeological sites\, archeological ethics\, and other topics related to the theme. The third event is the Excavation to Curation Obstacle course. The course changes slightly each year\, but teams work together to make their way through the simulated stages of archeological research. Teams work together to earn the most points throughout the day to win the 3D printed trophy!

No registration required \nSpeaker: Prof. Hazem Farrag\, Assistant Professor of Egyptology – Ain Shams University\, Cairo\, Egypt \nTitle: When Hieroglyphs Came Alive: Sacred Writing in the Temples of Roman Egypt \nAbstract:\nHow did hieroglyphic writing change in the temples of Roman Egypt? Why did temple walls become increasingly dense\, visual\, and symbolically rich? Focusing on temples such as Esna\, Dendera\, Edfu\, Kom Ombo\, and Philae\, this lecture explores how sacred writing developed into one of the most creative and intellectually sophisticated expressions of late Egyptian religion. Through inscriptions\, images\, and temple examples\, the talk examines how hieroglyphs acquired expanded visual and symbolic roles\, and how priests and temple scholars reshaped sacred knowledge under Roman rule. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Hazem Farrag is an Assistant Professor of Egyptology at Ain Shams University\, Cairo. His research explores Ancient Egyptian language\, literature\, temple inscriptions\, sacred semiotics\, and visual dimensions of hieroglyphic communication.

SUMMARY:Valor at Valcour:  Revolutionary War Wrecks in Lake Champlain and a Vision for Exhibiting US Navy’s Underwater Archaeology
DESCRIPTION:To commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the US Navy and the Battle of Valcour Island\, the Naval History and Heritage Command is highlighting two significant wrecks which represent ongoing but diverse research projects. \nThese wrecks represent some of the earliest of surviving examples of American naval forces\, and provide opportunities to study and elaborate on early naval history\, battle tactics\, living conditions aboard naval craft\, and ship design. \nRoyal Savage was Benedict Arnold’s flagship early in the battle and was in the immediate line of fire when the British entered Valcour Bay. The schooner ran aground before burning and sinking off Valcour Island. It was raised 158 years later\, disassembled\, then stored over the next 81 years before being returned in pieces to NHHC for documentation\, study\, and reconstruction in the form of scale models. \nIn stark contrast\, the gunboat Spitfire still rests intact on the Lake Champlain lakebed in remarkable condition and has been recently visited and documented by Lake Champlain Maritime Museum and NHHC\, with further work planned to preserve this sole intact in situ US naval vessel from the Revolutionary War. \nThis presentation will focus on the history and archaeology of the battle and of these specific wrecks from Valcour. At the end of the presentation\, we will introduce a new project for the Navy and partners\, with a long-term goal of recovering and conserving a rare WWII artifact for display in the planned new National Museum of the US Navy.

SUMMARY:The Tobacco Takers: Puritans\, Pipes\, and Bodily Care
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous to the Americas and cultivated by Native peoples for thousands of years\, tobacco was introduced to Europeans in the 16th century\, and by the early 17th century\, it had spread across the globe. In Puritan New England\, religious leaders condemned tobacco as sinful while early practitioners used it as medicine. Clay tobacco pipes commonly found at 17th-century archaeological sites in Massachusetts reveal widespread use despite strict social and religious restrictions. Drawing from her new book\, The Tobacco Takers: Puritanism\, Smoking\, Health\, and the Archaeology of Bodily Care (Bloomsbury Publishing\, 2026)\, Diana DiPaolo Loren\, deputy director for curatorial affairs and senior curator at Harvard’s Peabody Museum\, will share archaeological\, archival\, and visual evidence that recasts tobacco and tobacco pipes as tools of bodily care for both physical and metaphysical ailments. The program will include a conversation with archaeologist Stephen W. Silliman. \nCopies of The Tobacco Takers will be available for purchase after the program. Advance registration is recommended. \nFree event parking is available with registration at the 52 Oxford Street Garage\, starting at 5:00 pm. Register by October 12th\, 2026 to receive parking registration instructions. \nPresented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.

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.
