SUMMARY:Fort Vancouver and the Historical Archaeology of the Pacific Northwest
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture by Dr. Doug Wilson.   \nAbstract:\nThis talk will illuminate Fort Vancouver’s central role in the colonial history of the Pacific Northwest seen through the lens of historical archaeology. Wilson will illuminate the extraordinary confluence of places\, people and conflict that has shaped our region. Artifacts\, belongings\, and landscapes are contrasted with the documentary record to explore the critical place of Indigenous peoples and Immigrant groups in the region’s history. This talk will touch on early exploration\, including colonial forts and explorer’s campsites\, including Spokane House\, and highlight the ongoing important connections between historic places and modern peoples.

SUMMARY:Beyond Shipwrecks: Engaging the Past Across the Generations
DESCRIPTION:Across the world’s oceans\, UNESCO estimates that more than three million shipwrecks rest on\nthe seafloor. Yet this represents only a fraction of our underwater cultural heritage (UCH).\nLakes\, rivers\, estuaries\, and inland waterways hold their own archives of human movement and\ninnovation. Beyond shipwrecks lie submerged airplanes\, landscapes\, settlements\, and industrial\nsites—a vast\, largely unseen record of culture and the pathways people have traveled for\ngenerations. These places offer powerful gateways for engaging people of all ages because they\nnaturally connect the humanities and the sciences. They embody the most advanced science\,\nengineering\, technology\, and problem solving of the past\, while advancing innovative STEM\napplications today. Whether someone is writing coding workflows that help process and interpret\ndata\, piloting underwater robotics\, identifying objects in underwater photos\, building a virtual\ndive in a game engine\, or printing a scaled model of a wreck\, these hands on experiences invite\npeople to interact directly with science and history and feel the spark of discovery. Yet it is the\nshared human experience embedded in these sites— indelible histories of travel\, adaptation\,\ningenuity\, and loss—that connects the past with the present and inspires the future. Drawing on\nmore than 30 years in education and maritime archaeology\, Dr. Calvin Mires explores how\nmoving beyond shipwrecks expands the possibilities for public engagement. By reframing\nunderwater heritage as a living\, interdisciplinary resource\, we can spark curiosity across many\npursuits of knowledge and connect communities to the waterways around them.

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:2026 Oklahoma Archaeology Month Lecture with Dr. Severin Fowles
DESCRIPTION:THE SOUTHERN ATHABASKANS: SEVEN CENTURIES OF INNOVATION FROM OKLAHOMA TO ARIZONA\nWhat archaeologists refer to as the Southern Athapaskan cultural tradition spread across the American Southwest during the second millennium CE as a dispersed network of social formations in creative dialogue\, first\, with the rise of large Ancestral Pueblo centers and\, later\, with the arrival of Spanish and American colonists. The tradition is often defined in linguistic terms\, though both the timing and significance of the arrival of the Athapaskan language in the region is debated. Others foreground the tradition’s structural position with a wider Southwest political economy-as one half of a strategic\, mutualistic\, and at times competitive relationship between aggregated farming villages and the more mobile groups of hunters that encircled them. In this presentation\, he argues that image production-particularly in the well-preserved medium of rock art-is emerging as a key line of evidence\, poised to significantly refine our understanding of the Southern Athapaskan tradition as a fast-changing regional phenomenon. His argument centers rock art evidence from the Rio Grande Valley but aims to also characterize wider patterns across the Pueblo region and Southern Plains.

SUMMARY:The Materiality of Blue:
DESCRIPTION:Natural blue pigments in the ancient world are uncommon\, usually sourced from far away and difficult to process. Reviewing these shady characters\, like lazurite and azurite\, will shed light on ancient artisanal capabilities\, technical knowledge\, and even trade connections that reveal the extent to which ancient people would travel and experiment in order to find blue. The development in the late 4th millennium B.C. of a synthetic blue pigment\, Egyptian blue\, made it possible not only to paint in blue but even to use this material in ways beyond its primary state as a pigment. Experimental archaeology paired with ancient texts and archaeology\, making it possible to understand the stages by which these materials were made makes it possible to understand with heightened appreciation the technical innovation of antiquity.

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: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.

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. He is also interested in museum interpretation\, heritage education\, and digital approaches to presenting ancient Egyptian culture. He currently serves on the Board of AVICOM–ICOM. \n******************\nFREE Lecture!\nLight refreshments served starting at 3pm. \n******************\nThe American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) is a private\, nonprofit organization founded in 1948 by a consortium of educational and cultural institutions to support research on all aspects of Egyptian history and culture\, foster broader knowledge among the general public\, and strengthen American-Egyptian cultural ties.

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!

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:Symposium Vesuvianum: Slavery and Humanity Revisited: The Impact of Slave Systems on Personal Experience
DESCRIPTION:Organizers: John Bodel\, Brown University; William Owens\, Ohio University; Roberta Stewart\, Dartmouth College \nIn his 1965 book Sklaverei und Humanität\, Joseph Vogt offered a description of Roman slavery in which the enslaved accommodated themselves to the moral universe created by their enslavers. A dozen years later Moses Finley delivered a riposte to Vogt in a lecture at the Collège de France on “Slavery and Humanity\,” in which he insisted on “a sharp distinction between more or less humane treatment of individual slaves by individual masters and the inhumanity of slavery as an institution”. Finley considered “the ambiguity inherent in slavery” to be “an excellent starting-point from which to examine the theme” but in the end concluded that the topic\, “slavery and humanity\, is plunged into the centre of modern moral and ideological controversy\, as much a field for the philosopher and the theologian as for the historian” (Ancient Slavery and Modern Ideology\, p. 122). \nNow\, nearly fifty years after Finley’s pronouncement\, we propose to return to the issue of slavery and humanity and to convene a group of scholars with diverse interests and methodologies to consider the impact of ancient Mediterranean slave systems on persons\, both the enslaved and the enslavers. What effect did systemic slavery have on the personal experiences and worldview of enslavers and the enslaved in ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern societies? What new insights into this question can be gained through methodologies developed over the past fifty years? Of particular relevance to the focus on persons are the distortions in the archive created by systems of domination. Such distortion is especially true for ancient Mediterranean slavery. Consideration of an enslaved person’s point of view often entails reading the ancient archive against the grain and increases our reliance on the comparative method and other heuristic devices as well as our obligation to employ them self-consciously and critically. \nWe solicit papers that consider any aspect of human experience in ancient Mediterranean or Near Eastern slavery. Possible topics include: the contexts of economic activity and social relations; affectual relations among the enslaved and between enslavers and enslaved; modes of resistance or accommodation; solidarity among the enslaved and among enslavers; religion and other aspects of cultural memory among the enslaved; trauma\, or the psychic assault of enslavement and its consequences. \nThe symposium will include three and a half days of papers and discussion. Papers will be 25-30 minutes long with time for discussion. The schedule will also include visits to selected sites nearby. Meals and housing will be provided by the Villa Vergiliana (a bed in a double room with breakfast and dinner is approximately €70 a day; single rooms are available at private hotel/B&B accommodations within walking distance of the Villa). Those staying at the Villa should also figure in the cost of Vergilian Society membership ($35 for the year). In addition\, there may be a modest registration fee\, dependent on outside funding\, to help defray the cost of lunches and other conference activities. \nConfirmed participants include: Seth Bernard (University of Toronto)\, Ronald Charles (University of Toronto)\, Chris DeWet (University of Pretoria)\, Deborah Kamen (University of Washington)\, Sarah Levin-Richardson (University of Washington)\, David Lewis (University of Edinburgh) and Lauren Petersen (University of Delaware). \nPlease submit abstracts (300-400 words) to William Owens (owensb@ohio.edu) by February 15\, 2026.\nThe organizers will get back to you during the first week of March.
