Stone Vaulting in the Pre-Modern Mediterranean
2023-10-17 19:30 - 21:00 (America/New_York)
Sara Galletti, “Stone Vaulting in the Pre-Modern Mediterranean”
THIS LECTURE IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. If you’re interested in archaeology, please join us!
About the lecture:
This talk will explore the history of a stone vaulting technique called stereotomy from a transnational, longue durée perspective across the Mediterranean from the third century BCE—when the oldest of known stereotomic vaults was built in the Sanctuary of Delphi—through the sixteenth and seventeenth century, when pioneering theoretical works such as those by Philibert de L’Orme (1514–70) and Alonso de Vandelvira (1544–1626) crossed the boundaries of the building trades and stereotomy became the focus of a broader intellectual debate about solid geometry. The complex, fascinating history of stereotomy offers a privileged perspective on the cultural and material exchanges that have taken place, across spatial, linguistic, and chronological boundaries, in the long history of the Mediterranean and its peoples.
About the speaker:
Dr. Sara Galletti, Associate Professor of Art History at Duke University, researches early modern architectural theory and practice, with a focus on Europe and the Mediterranean. She has published on secular and religious French architecture, on Philibert de L’Orme, on the urban history of Paris, on the relations between space and social structures, as well as on the history of stereotomy. Currently, she works on an NEH-funded book project tentatively titled History of Stone Vaulting in the Pre-Modern Mediterranean: Practices, Theories, and Patterns of Knowledge Transfer.
Our lectures are sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America, with funding from the Davidson College Public Lectures Committee, the Dean Rusk Program, and the departments of Africana Studies, Anthropology, Art, Classics, Educational Studies, History, and Latin American Studies.

Archaeology-Hour Livestream: Anne Austin. “Ancient Ink: Discovering the Tattooed Women of Ancient Egypt”
2023-10-18 17:00 - 18:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Walla Walla University, Admin Bldg 116, 204 S College Ave, College Place, WA, 99324, United States
Until recently, the practice of tattooing in ancient Egypt was rarely attested with only scant evidence from a handful of mummified individuals spanning Pharaonic Egypt’s more than 3,000-year history. However, recent discoveries—including those from Deir el-Medina— have rewritten what was once thought about the practice. This talk coalesces physical and art historical evidence to offer some of the most comprehensive interpretations to date on the practice of tattooing in ancient Egypt. CONTENT WARNING: This talk will include images of human remains.
Please join us for a livestream presentation, and stay for an informal discussion afterward.

“Maritime Trade and Migration Along the Western Black Sea Coast: Examining Greek Apollonia Pontica (7th-3rd century BC) and Roman Deultum (1st-4th century AD)” by Katharine Kolpan PhD, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Idaho
2023-10-19 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Vancouver) | Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture (MAC), 2316 West 1st Avenue, Spokane, Washington, 99201, United States
The Milesian Greek colony of Apollonia Pontica (7th-3rd century BC) and its Roman colonial successor, Deultum (1st-4th century BC), were both prosperous trade centers and important Western Black Sea ports. Archaeological evidence, such as imported glass, Attic black-figure pottery, and non-native macrobotanicals, indicates that the local population was engaged in maritime trade with merchants from other cities throughout the Aegean and the Near East, who were likely exchanging their goods for the region’s rich copper and iron ore and the fish from its abundant fisheries. While there is significant evidence that goods traveled around the area, what is less certain is how both colonies’ positions as major trading centers affected migration to Apollonia and Deultum after their initial colonization and, and if so, whether new arrivals were assimilated into the population or were victims of hostility and violence. What little historical data there is suggests that successive waves of migration led to greater instability, however the archaeological evidence has yet to fully address this issue. This presentation will assess the evidence for trade during both the Greek and Roman periods as well as skeletal evidence of violence and healed trauma at Apollonia, while also exploring how current archaeological and osteological methods can be utilized to expand on lingering questions related to migration, assimilation, and the possibility of unrest along the Western Black Sea Coast during Classical Antiquity.
The lecture will broadcast in realtime via Zoom.

Archaeology Day at the Frontier Culture Museum
2023-10-21 09:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Frontier Culture Museum, 1290 Richmond Ave, Staunton, VA, 24401, United States
Saturday, October 21st is International Archaeology Day, and the Frontier Culture Museum is offering archaeological activities all day!
But just what is archaeology and why are we talking about it at a living history museum? Archaeology is the study of patterns of material culture, the tangible things that people made and used. Things that are still around, just in the ground beneath us. Archaeology gives us a snapshot of the past. Objects enter the ground, a house decays leaving only the foundation. We only get to see the remnants, not the activity. History, on the other hand, is the study of human behavior in the past, based on the records people themselves have left behind. You can see where one might inform the other. Both involve asking questions, forming hypotheses and doing research.
We look at all of these clues, carefully piece the fragments of a moment in time together, and create a picture of what life was like, for example, on the frontier.
So, what does Archaeology Day at the Frontier Culture Museum mean? It means walking around our Old World loop, the farms from places people left behind to come to the New World, and learning about different types of artifacts, like metal and ceramics, and also a little bit about experimental archaeology. It also means heading over to the New World section and being able to try your hand at excavation in our dig boxes and learning a bit about what happens after the artifacts are excavated. Plus, come see our experimental pottery firing on the Eastern Woodlands Indian site as we celebrate International Archaeology Day!
