SUMMARY:Earthquakes and the Structuring of Greco-Roman Society: the longue durée of human-geological environment relationships in Helike\, Greece (SAIG/GSC Dissertation Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Amanda Gaggioli\, PhD Candidate\, Department of Classics | Stanford Archaeology Center\, Stanford University \nBio: Amanda’s research combines specializations in archaeology\, history\, and ancient languages with environmental sciences\, particularly geoarchaeology and soil micromorphology\, to interpret cultural forms of environmental knowledge\, cultural practices\, landscapes\, and paleoenvironments that factored into societal developments. This combined work accounts for the resilience and political ecology of socio-environmental systems in all aspects of Greco-Roman civilization. \nAbstract: Earthquakes have been linked with societal collapse in various places throughout the past\, most notably in the eastern Mediterranean with the end of the Late Bronze Age (c. 1200 BCE) and the division and decline of the Roman Empire from the fourth to sixth centuries CE. Archaeological evidence of widespread destruction\, complemented by an inflation of historical earthquake records for late Roman contexts\, points to periods of higher seismicity coinciding with political and economic weakening and socio-cultural downturn. However\, since ancient times\, humans living with persistent earthquake hazards have demonstrated forms of resilience. I show how earthquakes traditionally perceived as ‘natural’ disasters are not ‘natural’ but social and a critical factor in political ecological relationships through the case of Helike\, Greece from the third millennium BCE to fifth century CE. New methods from geoarchaeology and soil micromorphology combined with evidence ranging from Greco-Roman perceptions on earthquakes in textual records combined with destruction\, innovation\, and invention in settlement architecture and soft sediment deformation structures (SSDS) in soil thin sections prove such ‘catastrophe’ theories to be either false or simplistic. The results expose the persistent factor of earthquakes and other geological hazards in the resilience and political ecology of human-environment relationships in the Greco-Roman society and culture. \nThe case of Helike demonstrates how factors of earthquakes and other geological hazards persistently shaped and were shaped bysocio-cultural\, economic\, and political developments. The use of innovative methodological approaches and techniques to new types of data confronts catastrophe narratives and reveals a resilience and political ecology of human-earthquake relationships.

SUMMARY:Daily Lives in an Age of Empires: Local Economic Life during the Late Bronze Age (1600-1200 BCE\, Turkey)
DESCRIPTION:The Late Bronze Age (1600-1200 BCE) in the Eastern Mediterranean stands out in the history of the ancient world as a time of political and economic consolidation\, with multiple great powers – Mycenae\, Babylonia\, Egypt\, the Hittites – exerting their military power in the region and engaging in an unprecedented degree of international trade and diplomacy. The archaeological and historical records from this period offer a treasure trove of evidence including monumental architecture\, kingly correspondence\, and luxury goods from far-off locales. \nAs a result\, research on the Late Bronze Age has often focused on elite lives and histories\, but the daily lives of non-elite individuals have remained largely unexamined. What was life like for those living outside of imperial capitals and other major centers? How were local practices of day-to-day life shaped by imperial aims? How deeply were rural settlements embedded in the political and economic structures of empire? \nIn this lecture\, I address these questions using evidence from the site of Çadır Höyük\, a rural center in the provinces of one of the major political players of the Late Bronze Age\, the Hittite empire (modern-day Turkey). In particular\, I use the ancient animal remains from Çadır Höyük to reconstruct the organization of day-to-day economic activities at the settlement. I consider the choices Çadırans made about which animals to raise (e.g.\, more cattle? fewer goats? lots of pigs?) and what products to focus on (e.g. meat? wool/fiber? dairy? a combination?). I then discuss how these choices relate to the settlement’s place within the broader economic system of the Hittite empire and how they can help us characterize what life was really like at Çadır during the Late Bronze Age. \nSarah Adcock is a Visiting Assistant Professor at NYU’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World. She received her PhD in Anthropology from the University of Chicago (2020) and her BA in Archaeology and English Literature from Baylor University (2008). Her current work focuses on the Late Bronze Age collapse in the Eastern Mediterranean region around 1200 BCE. \nFor her dissertation research\, she examined local responses to the Hittite collapse in central Turkey at the end of the Late Bronze Age through the analysis of animal remains from the Hittite capital Hattuşa and from Çadır Höyük\, a Hittite provincial center. By comparing her results from these sites\, she considered the specific impacts empire’s collapse had on animal management systems and the economic organization of food production both at the Hittite capital and in the empire’s provinces. \nHer current work expands the focus of her research from the collapse of the Hittite empire to the Late Bronze Age collapse in the Eastern Mediterranean region more broadly. The Late Bronze Age collapse in the Eastern Mediterranean is one of the largest and best known collapse events in human history\, and it affected multiple polities across the region\, presenting an opportunity for exploring differing responses to the processes associated with societal collapse. This project\, “Everyday Lives at the End of the World?: Post-Collapse Animal Economies in the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean” works to develop a macro-level understanding of changes and continuities in animal management and foodways that accompanied the Late Bronze Age collapse in the Eastern Mediterranean. The goal of this work is to offer a new perspective from which to examine the massive political\, economic\, and social changes that occurred at the end of the Late Bronze Age in the Eastern Mediterranean and to critically examine the historical narratives and theoretical frameworks that create our conceptions of collapse and “dark age.”

SUMMARY:Wine jars and jar makers of Cyprus
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gloria London (Independent Scholar\, Seattle WA)\nLecture in Memory of Dr. Sarah Keller \nA Danish police officer\, who volunteered for the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus\, spent his spare time documenting traditional technologies\, especially those related to pottery production\, farming\, and bread. Knud Jensen recorded over 60 pitharia\, the immense jars for fermenting wine\, produced for centuries until 1972. He correctly speculated that the names incised on unfired jar shoulders held information about the history of Cyprus. Detective Jensen’s police training successfully enabled him to trace century-old jars back to the people who made and them used. His findings\, combined with more recent ethnoarchaeological research\, provide practical templates to: 1) reconstruct the ancient ceramics industry; 2) assess the markings on archaeological pottery; and 3) explain the multiplicity of traditional and ancient regional terms for essential household items.

SUMMARY:Sicily: A Circumnavigation aboard Sea Cloud II
DESCRIPTION:Join Archaeological Institute of America President Laetitia La Follette on a spring cruise circumnavigating Sicily aboard the luxurious\, 47-cabin\, three-masted barque Sea Cloud II. Begin and end on the island of Malta which\, together with Sicily\, has witnessed and bears the stamps of all the\nmajor civilizations that the Mediterranean cradled: Phoenicians\, Greeks\, Romans\, Arabs\, Normans\, Christians\, Jews\, Byzantines\, and Muslims. Each civilization left important stylistic traces in major architectural\, urban\, and artistic monuments. \nClassical temples\, open-air theaters\, villas adorned with mosaics and frescoes\, magnificently adorned churches and chapels\, Islamic cloisters\, and Baroque cathedrals are all found in abundance. \nBegin in Valletta\, the vibrant capital city of the island nation of Malta and one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world. Then embark Sea Cloud II for a splendid seven-night cruise circumnavigating Sicily. Explore the island’s treasures with stops in Trapani (for Segesta\, and Erice or Marsala)\, Palermo\, Giardini Naxos (for Taormina and Mt. Etna)\, and Syracuse. This itinerary also spends a day in the Aeolian Islands\, one of seven UNESCO sites visited during this cruise\, as well as a specially-timed sailing to enjoy up-close views of the still-active Stromboli volcano. Also available is an optional\, post-trip extension on Malta and Gozo\, with visits to remarkable Neolithic and medieval sites. \nYour host vessel\, the Sea Cloud II\, offers excellent cruise accommodations while capturing the timeless elegance of sailing. To be on deck when the sails are fully extended is an unforgettable experience. Thus\, this itinerary is planned to ensure ample sailing time to enjoy the majesty of this vessel and the thrill of sailing. \nA robust educational program rounds out this outstanding journey. AIA lecturer and host Laetitia La Follette\, Professor of Greek and Roman Art and Architecture\, and Gary Radke\, an expert on Italian medieval and Renaissance art and architecture\, will offer a series of illustrated lectures and informal discussions along the way.

SUMMARY:Irving Finkel Returns!  Voices Out of the Darkness
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Irving Finkel returns to Zoom for a talk hosted by Archaeology Now about the “people between the rivers” — the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers\, that is. Were the people of ancient Mesopotamia so very different from us? Did they enjoy a good dinner\, rejoice in love\, fling curses at a faithless spouse\, and quake in fear at the wrath of gods? We are fortunate because we have their most intimate thoughts\, inscribed in clay thousands of years ago\, still accessible to us. Dr. Finkel\, a renowned expert\, unlocks their writing in cuneiform\, opening a dramatic window into the ancient Mesopotamian world\, revealing lives that are every bit as complex and human as are our own lives today.

SUMMARY:The City is [NOT] a Tree: The Urban Ecologies of Divided Cities
DESCRIPTION:THE CITY IS [NOT] A TREE: THE URBAN ECOLOGIES OF DIVIDED CITIES is an international collaboration\, with associates principally from Europe and Africa\, and open to collaboration with contributors from other parts of the world. We are interested in analyses\, remedies and healing in divided cities and societies. Although these often relate to specificities of history\, context\, place and population\, they nonetheless speak to a universal condition\, with many commonalities in both cause and effect. \nThe title of this collaboration\, being a wordplay on Christopher Alexander’s 1965 essay title A City is Not a Tree\, uses the inference of a city being a tree in a different milieu. Whereas Alexander’s focus in terms of the analogy was to describe the physical composition of a city being either the mathematical structure of a tree or that of a semi-lattice\, in this instance it refers to the city as a socio-spatial ecosystem. \nThe question of divided cities represents a complex and multi-stranded urban ecology – at once both social and spatial; it cannot be limited to a single science or discipline\, such as social or spatial fields. This suggests integrated and cross-disciplinary understandings\, as well integrated or parallel approaches and solutions. \nUrban ecologies of division manifest in multiple forms. One of their most palpable expressions is conflict\, with parallels around the world\, and often with correlations in the spatial fabric. Violence in such contexts is often a surface expression of deeper socio-economic or ideological differences. Whether as result of intervention by authority or by dissent between groups\, a divided city inevitably becomes a place of conflict in various forms and intensity\, eroding the joy of living and sense of collective belonging to the detriment of all. In effect\, it erodes the collective advantage of being part of a more unified society. In tandem with conflict as a surface expression of such ecologies are the social undercurrents\, such as the making of the ‘other’\, the unfamiliar and the unknown\, where whole swathes of cities and towns could remain ‘other’ for many citizens – a terra nullius – even for long-term residents.

SUMMARY:Hiking Scotland’s North Highlands & Isle of Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Join archaeologist Mary MacLeod Rivett and a small group of like-minded travelers on this 11-day tour of Scotland’s remote north Highlands and the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. Mostly we will explore off the well-beaten Highland tourist trail\, and along the way we will be treated to an abundance of archaeological and historical sites\, striking scenery – including high cliffs\, sea lochs\, sandy and rocky bays\, mountains\, and glens – and\, of course\, excellent hiking.\nScotland’s long and varied history stretches back many thousands of years\, and archaeological remains ranging from Neolithic cairns and stone circles to Iron Age brochs (ancient dry stone buildings unique to Scotland)\, medieval castles\, and deserted clearance villages cover these landscapes. Seven of our touring days involve hikes of 4.5 to 6 miles per day\, and we will rest and reflect in comfortable hotels that extend Highland warmth and hospitality.

SUMMARY:Arctic Odyssey: Exploring Norway’s Svalbard Archipelago
DESCRIPTION:This summer\, join a team of lecturers on a voyage that will explore one of the Arctic’s most interesting and magnificent areas\, Norway’s Svalbard (Spitsbergen). Enjoy the comforts of a luxurious expedition ship while exploring a remote region far from tourist routes. \nA group of islands located between Norway and the North Pole\, Svalbard is a place of vast glaciers\, calving icebergs\, snowcapped mountains\, and majestic serene fjords. Two thirds of the archipelago is covered by nature reserves created to protect the environment and the remarkable wildlife of the islands. Covered by ice for most of the year\, the short Arctic summer that provides 24-hour days reveals the grandeur and natural life of Svalbard. The fish-rich sea that surrounds the islands attracts large numbers of birds\, including kittiwakes\, Arctic terns\, fulmars\, puffins\, and black and Brunnich’s guillemots. Whales\, seals\, and walruses frequent the area\, while the tundra supports a surprising number of flowering plants. But the undoubted king of this high Arctic archipelago is the polar bear. Svalbard is one of the best places on Earth to observe polar bears in their natural habitat. Estimated to number about 3\,000\, polar bears outnumber the human population of the islands. \nStarting in Oslo\, Norway’s lovely capital\, we will fly to Tromso\, located above the Arctic Circle\, where we will embark our ship\, and cruise across the Barents Sea to Bear Island\, a nature reserve and home to thousands of birds. From Bear Island\, it’s just an overnight cruise to the Svalbard archipelago\, where we will spend seven days exploring this extraordinary group of islands and search for its wildlife\, especially polar bears. Our Arctic Odyssey will end in Tromso\, from where we will fly home. \nOur home for this Arctic adventure will be SH Minerva\, a state-of-the-art expedition cruise ship that was purpose built for polar exploration. Built in Finland and launched in December 2021\, SH Minerva features the most advanced green mechanical technologies and systems\, and accommodates a maximum of 152 guests in spacious staterooms and suites. A team of expert expedition leaders and naturalists will plan and lead our activities ashore\, while a fleet of Zodiac landing craft will bring us into intimate contact with the places we will explore.

SUMMARY:Hiking Scotland’s Orkney & Shetland Islands
DESCRIPTION:This is the perfect opportunity to explore all that Scotland’s Northern Isles have to offer: prehistoric stone circles\, burial chambers\, and settlements; quaint villages; huge seabird colonies; and remarkable plant life—all amidst dramatic landscapes. This will be Scotland seen slowly\, with time for in-depth exploration at each site. The Orkney and Shetland islands have an amazing wealth of archaeological sites dating back 5\,000 years. Together the islands have more than 18\,000 known sites\, with new discoveries being made every year. This archaeological saga is worth the telling\, and nowhere else can the evidence be seen in more glorious a setting.\nHighlights: \nThe UNESCO World Heritage site on Orkney\, which includes the chambered tomb of Maeshowe\, estimated to have been constructed around 2700 B.C.; the Stones of Stenness; the 4\,000-year-old Ring of Brodgar\, one of Europe’s finest Neolithic monuments; Skara Brae settlement; and associated funerary monuments and stone settings. These are unquestionably among the most important Neolithic sites in Western Europe.\n“The Crucible of Iron Age Shetland”—including Mousa Broch\, the best-preserved known broch in the world\, Old Scatness\, and Jarlshof—where the lack of intensive modern farming means that the preservation of these sites and their landscapes is exceptional.\nThe Isles are a birdwatcher’s paradise\, and one of the major seabird breeding and feeding areas in the North Atlantic. More than a million birds breed in very large colonies.\nAll meals are included\, and you will enjoy comfortable accommodations: four nights at the elegant Lynnfield Hotel\, a comfortable overnight ferry from Orkney to Shetland and from Shetland to Aberdeen\, a night at the Scalloway Hotel\, and two nights at the remote and charming Busta House Hotel.

SUMMARY:The Odyssey: A Retelling
DESCRIPTION:The Parthenon and Centennial Park Conservancy are proud to present The Odyssey: A Retelling\, by Lisa Bachman Jones in the East Gallery of the Parthenon from June 23 through January 8. \nJones is a Nashville-based artist interested in entropy and interconnectivity. Working across disciplines\, she investigates the everyday through a lens of care. \nIn preparation for A Retelling Jones read Emily Wilson’s 2017 translation of Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey. The exhibition highlights the hospitality of the overlooked identities that made Odysseus’ long journey home possible. The body of work incorporates a wide range of media and techniques\, which echoes the number of communities\, locations\, actions and objects that paved the way for the classic homecoming. \nReflecting on the exhibit Jones notes the significance of the gallery’s location within the Parthenon\, which prompted the concept for A Retelling. The Parthenon in Athens\, Greece was a place for offering thanks to and soliciting help from Athena. The goddess is a constant in the poem; orchestrating events and guiding encounters. This body of work presents an opportunity to reflect upon those who we receive support from and those to whom we extend our support. \nThank you to the Sandra Schatten Foundation\, Tennessee Arts Commission\, National Endowment for the Humanities\, Memorial Foundation\, Jackson\, Humanities Tennessee\, Metro Parks\, and Centennial Park Conservancy for underwriting the Parthenon’s exhibition and educational programming. The content of Parthenon exhibitions do not necessarily represent the views of our partners and underwriters.

SUMMARY:2nd Annual Holton Lecture: Archaeology from Space
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special virtual event featuring this year’s Felicia A. Holton Book Award winner\, Dr. Sarah Parcak\, discussing her book Archaeology from Space: How the Future Shapes our Past. \nWriting about the Past: How to Find Your Voice and Become a Better Storyteller\nIt has become essential for archaeologists to engage with the broader public. More archaeologists and students of archaeology should write books and articles for the general public\, but think they lack the necessary skillsets to do so\, which is untrue. This talk will share the writer’s personal insights and story about how Archaeology from Space was conceived\, written\, and edited\, and will share perspectives on how to interpret the past for the general public. It is hoped that the lecture will inspire more current and future archaeologists to take more risks with their public archaeological writings. \nThe lecture is free and open to the public. Zoom registration is required; please register by clicking the button below.

SUMMARY:Virtual Symposium: 20 Years of Gold on Athena
DESCRIPTION:Join the Parthenon for a virtual talk on Tuesday\, August 23\, at 6 PM Central. This online Symposium is free and open to the public. \nABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM:\nTwenty years ago\, the colossal statue of Athena Parthenos inside the Nashville Parthenon underwent a transformation. After standing as a white statue from 1990-2002\, a team of experts and volunteers added over 8 pounds of gold leaf plus colorful paint details to Athena. Join this Symposium to hear more about the gold gilding process and this incredible project that changed the way millions of Parthenon visitors see ancient statues. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS:\nMicki and Mitch Cavanah\, Reed’s Gold Leaf \nFor more than 30 years\, Micki and Mitchell Cavanah have been perfecting the fine tradition of gilding (gold leafing) and coordinating with other gilders and craftsmen from related fields to ensure the mutual preservation of the art form of antique & frame restoration. Micki and Mitchell are expert gold gilders and were involved with the project that added gold and paint to the statue of Athena Parthenos in the Naos over the summer of 2002. \nMicki and Mitchell are long-time members of the prestigious Society of Gilders\, of which Micki has previously served as Vice-President and currently serves on the board of trustees. Both are well-respected educators in the arts of restoration and gilding who have worked on famous sites all over the United States including the Louisiana State Museum\, Chicago’s Glessner House\, and memorials in Washington DC including the Iwo Jima Memorial and Marconi Memorial.

SUMMARY:Consumed in Raging Fire: Cremation Burial in Ptolemaic Alexandria
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California Chapter\, and the Near Eastern Studies Department\, University of California\, Berkeley\, invite you to attend a virtual lecture by Dr. Thomas Landvatter\, University of Michigan: \nConsumed in Raging Fire: Cremation Burial in Ptolemaic Alexandria \nSunday\, August 28\, 2022\, 3 PM Pacific Time \nZoom Lecture.

Non-members\, please send any registration requests no later than Friday\, August 26. The number of registrations is limited\, so the sooner you register\, the better. \nGlenn Meyer\nARCE-NC ePublicity \nAbout the Lecture: \nMummification is\, of course\, the burial practice most associated with ancient Egypt. It may come as a surprise\, then\, that for a period of time cremation – the very antithesis of mummification – is attested in Egypt. During the Ptolemaic period (305-30 BCE)\, when Egypt was ruled by a dynasty of Graeco-Maedonian origin\, it is clear that mummification remained the burial treatment of choice for many elite classes across Egypt. However\, a significant minority of burials in the capital of Alexandria and elsewhere were in fact cremations. In this talk\, I explore the cremation burials of Ptolemaic Alexandria\, who used cremation and why\, and what cremation reveals about the cultural and social environment of that city. I argue that these cremation burials and their meaning can only be understood in relation to Egyptian mummification and other cultural practices\, as well as the unique social and cultural environment of early Alexandria. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Tom Landvatter (PhD\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology\, University of Michigan)\, is Associate Professor of Greek\, Latin\, and Ancient Mediterranean Studies and Humanities at Reed College in Portland\, Oregon. His teaching and research interests center on the history and archaeology of the eastern Mediterranean during the Hellenistic period (323-30 BCE)\, in particular Cyprus and Ptolemaic Egypt. He has excavated in Egypt at both Mendes and\, especially\, Abydos\, which has been an ongoing focus of his research and publications. Currently he co-directs an excavation at the Hellenistic fortification of Vigla\, near Larnaca\, Cyprus. \nAbout ARCE-NC: \nFor more information\, please visit https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/\, https://arce-nc.org/\, https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings\, or https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:CFP: MULTI-PROXY APPROACHES TO KINSHIP IN THE GRECO-ROMAN WORLD
DESCRIPTION:Call for papers EAA 2022 \nKINSHIP IS A KEY ASPECT OF HUMAN LIFE\, AS IT DEFINES PEOPLE’S SENSE OF IDENTITIES\, THEIR SOCIAL TIES AND THEIR ACCESS TO RIGHTS AND RESOURCES. HOWEVER\, CONCEPTUALIZING AND DEFINING KINSHIP IS CHALLENGING BECAUSE OF ITS COMPLEX AND FLUID CHARACTER AND THE VARIABLE FORMS IT TAKES IN DIFFERENT SOCIETIES. FURTHER PROBLEMS ARISE WHEN TRYING TO ASSESS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF KINSHIP IN THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD: WHICH DATA SHOULD WE USE\, WHICH BIOCULTURAL ASPECTS SHOULD WE INCLUDE\, AND HOW SHOULD WE ANALYZE THEM? IF WE STUDY HISTORICAL SOCIETIES\, HOW SHOULD WE USE HISTORICAL\, ICONOGRAPHIC\, EPIGRAPHIC OR PAPYROLOGICAL EVIDENCE? WHAT IS THE POTENTIAL AND THE LIMITATIONS OF THESE DIFFERENT DATASETS\, AND HOW SHOULD WE INTEGRATE THEM? IN THIS SESSION\, WE WOULD LIKE TO APPLY THESE QUESTIONS TO THE GRECO-ROMAN WORLD\, WHICH OFFERS A WEALTH OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND TEXTUAL EVIDENCE. MOREOVER\, RECENT ATTENTION TO SILENCED GROUPS – SUCH AS WOMEN\, CHILDREN\, THE ELDERLY OR ENSLAVED PEOPLE – SHIFTS THE TRADITIONAL FOCUS ON MALE CITIZENS OR THE ELITES\, AND THEREBY ENABLES A MORE HOLISTIC DISCUSSION OF KINSHIP
