After the Dig - studies from the Phoenician shipwreck. Lecture by Professor Timmy Gambin, Associate Professor of Maritime Archaeology in the Department of Classics and Archaeology, University of Malta.
2022-10-26 18:00 - 19:30 (Europe/Vienna)
Those involved in any archaeological project know that for every hour spent excavating a site, many more must be dedicated to post-excavation. One must rationalise, analyse and interpret data that were gathered in the course of the project. Experts are brought in, students offered research opportunities and all information gathered placed in a database. However, simply producing and storing a number of disparate research strands is unsatisfactory. They need to be looked at holistically and woven into a narrative that can contribute to a better understanding of some facets of the human past. This talk explores various past and ongoing research projects that have emanated from the Phoenician Shipwreck Project following the conclusion of four excavation seasons in 2021. Although this research is still very much in ‘strand form’, the audience will gain insight not just into current workings but also of the historical fabric that will hopefully be woven over the coming years.

The State Museum of Pennsylvania’s Workshops in Archaeology: Pathways to the Past
2022-10-29 09:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | The State Museum of Pennslyvania, 300 North Street, Harrisburg, 17120, United States
The theme of this year’s program centers around archaeology as a tool for discovering a pathway to the past. Archaeologists have identified physical pathways such as Indigenous foot paths, portages,
and trade routes but there are also the pathways archaeology can offer in enriching, and sometimes correcting narratives of the past. Pennsylvania’s landscape of rolling mountains, plateaus and ridges, and major river valleys were physical factors that influenced settlement of the Commonwealth. Foot paths created by Indigenous peoples thousands of years ago led to trade and exchange routes that eventually developed into roadways. River valleys served as transportation corridors for commerce and trade from Precontact throughout time defining the locations of communities. Some pathways are not as evident, as in the underground railroad network that transported formerly enslaved peoples to communities here and elsewhere. Discovering the stories of the past can be a difficult emotional journey to uncovering heritage, as is often true for the disenfranchised, but their contributions to our Commonwealth’s development are important and the archaeological record is a pathway for sharing their stories.

Early registration ends October 24. Walk-in registration will be available at the door at $35 per person.

Andromeda, Alexander, and Ascalos: Founders and Foundation Myths in the Roman Near East
2022-11-02 19:00 (America/New_York)
The Tallahassee Society of the Archaeological Institute of America and the Student Archaeology Club at FSU present:
“Andromeda, Alexander, and Ascalos: Founders and Foundation Myths in the Roman Near East”
By Robyn Le Blanc, University of North Carolina, Greensboro
The AIA Kershaw Lecture in Near Eastern Archaeology
Additional Funding by the AIA Father Bader Lecture in Mediterranean Archaeology
Wednesday, November 2, 2022 7:00 PM
A Zoom Lecture: https://fsu.zoom.us/j/93621021276

This talk explores city founders and foundation myths in the Roman Near East. Depictions of these local traditions appear on civic coinage, sculpture, and on the “Caesarea bowl,” and some are described by ancient authors such as Pliny and Pausanias. Foundation myths reflect ideas about the community and its past, and helped forge and maintain cultural, ethnic, and kinship links between and within communities.

Expanding the Spatial and Temporal Limits of the Pinson Mounds Landscape in Western Tennessee
2022-11-02 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Denver) | CU Museum of Natural History, Broadway, Boulder, CO, 80309, United States
In this lecture, Professor Ed Henry will discuss the monumental earthen architecture present at Pinson Mounds State Archaeological Park (PMSAP) in West Tennessee, which features prominently in the archaeology of the American Midsouth. However, the Johnston and Elijah Bray mound sites, situated west and east of PMSAP respectively, are considered the anchors in defining the broader Pinson Landscape. Recent research in this area has dramatically reshaped how archaeologists might consider the temporal and spatial extent of this enigmatic Middle Woodland landscape and its ties to Hopewell societies in the eastern U.S. In my lecture I will discuss the field verification of new monumental features at Johnston, new and unusual subsurface features identified at PMSAP, and the first archaeological investigations of the Elijah Bray site. Our new discoveries reveal how our knowledge of this unique area expands our understandings of, and approach to studying, deeply used places in the archaeological record.
