SUMMARY:Archaeology Abridged: The Secrets of an Ancient Indian City
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this Archaeology Abridged talk by Monica Smith. \nThe Indian subcontinent is home to a number of the world’s great civilizations and religious traditions. About two and a half thousand years ago\, a tremendous synergy of urbanism\, rulership\, writing systems\, and the advent of Buddhism and Jainism was expressed in hundreds of archaeological sites. Among these was the magnificent city of Sisupalgarh on India’s eastern coast\, where an international team of researchers from the University of California and Deccan College have focused their efforts to learn about the monumental architecture and daily lives of a thriving ancient metropolis. Tune in to learn about how archaeologists see under the surface without digging\, how a fortification wall isn’t just for defense\, and why a little “bling” explains the irresistible pull of urbanism past and present. \nMonica L. Smith is Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Professor in the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability at the University of California\, Los Angeles. She holds the Navin and Pratima Doshi Chair in Indian Studies and is the director of the South Asian Archaeology Laboratory at the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology. She received her B.A. in Classical Civilizations (ancient Rome and Greece) at the University of California\, Santa Barbara; M.A. in Archaeology from UCLA; and Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Michigan. Her field experience includes participation on projects in England\, India\, Italy\, Egypt\, Madagascar\, Bangladesh\, Tunisia\, and with the National Park Service in the American Southwest. With her colleague R.K. Mohanty she has co-directed a long-running archaeological research project in eastern India at the sites of Sisupalgarh\, Talapada and Ostapur and their environs\, supported by funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation\, the National Geographic Society\, the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research\, and the American Institute of Indian Studies. Her books include Cities: The First 6\,000 Years; A Prehistory of Ordinary People; and with R.K. Mohanty\, Excavations at Sisupalgarh. She is in her third term as an Academic Trustee on the AIA’s Governing Board.

SUMMARY:Foreigners as Symbols in Ancient Egyptian Tombs (1550-1372 BCE)
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Dr. Flora Brooks Anthony\, Kennesaw State University \nAIA Central Carolinas Society 333 and Davidson College\, Davidson\, NC\, welcome the public to join us for a free virtual lecture by Dr. Flora Brooks Anthony of Kennesaw State University\, Georgia. THIS LECTURE WILL BE HELD ON ZOOM ONLY\, not in person. https://go.davidson.edu/AIA-lecture \nDr. Flora Brooke Anthony\, “Foreigners as Symbols in Ancient Egyptian Tombs (1550-1372 BCE)” \nAbout the lecture:\nDuring the 18th dynasty (1550-1372 BCE)\, the height of Egyptian imperial expansion\, images of foreigners bearing tribute became popular in the tombs of the Egyptian elite. This lecture will explore the significance of these images\, arguing that they not only show the Egyptian state’s ability to impose order on foreign lands\, but also symbolize the tomb owner’s ability to overcome the chaos of death and achieve a successful afterlife. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Anthony\, an Assistant Professor of Art History\, Kennesaw State University\, is the author of Foreigners in Ancient Egypt: Theban Tomb Paintings from the Early Eighteenth Dynasty (1550-1372 BC)\, published by Bloomsbury Academic 2017). She can currently be seen on the show Egypt: The Unexplained Files\, airing on the Science Channel\, as for example in this episode: https://www.sciencechannel.com/tv-shows/egypts-unexplained-files/full-episodes/tuts-curse-the-new-evidence?

SUMMARY:Reports from the Field
DESCRIPTION:UC Berkeley graduate students kick off the academic year at our annual Reports from the Field event\, reporting on their summer research and excavation experiences at various sites across the globe. Alec Apodaca will be discussing a Native American archaeological site in the San Vicente Redwoods that was damaged during post-fire work related to the CZU Lightning Fire complex of 2020. The damage exposed previously unknown portions of this ancient habitation site that can be studied to learn about how Native people stewarded sources of food\, raw material\, and habitats in the interior areas\, which can be compared to coastal areas and is directly relevant to ongoing historical ecology project between Amah Mutsun Tribal Band and UC Berkeley researchers. Jordan Brown will discuss The Erbil Plain in northern Iraq\, which lies at the edge of the rainfall farming zone. Here\, five millennia of intensive settlement have seen diverse approaches to water management. Some of these strategies appear to have affected the hydrology of the Plain in lasting ways\, mitigating or exacerbating the impact of climatic shifts and constraining the options available to subsequent inhabitants. By utilizing remote-sensing tools and computer-aided analytical techniques\, which facilitate the collection and systematization of such data and form the building blocks of a “telescoping” approach to regional geoarchaeology\, Jordan will discuss the large-scale and long-term interactions between social and natural forces. David Wheeler will share his experience doing fieldwork and museum research in Greece for the last 18 months in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. During that time\, he excavated a palatial tholos at Pylos during Greece’s first national lockdown\, helped supervise rescue excavations at the Mycenaean cemetery of Aidonia\, and initiated several 3D scanning projects for Berkeley’s Nemea Center for research\, outreach\, and classroom use in the post-Covid era.

SUMMARY:Historical Fiction: An End-Product of Archaeology?
DESCRIPTION:Online Lecture by Steven Saylor about his new book\, Dominus\, the long-awaited capstone to Saylor’s bestselling novels of Ancient Rome.  His books include the long running Roma Sub Rosa series featuring Gordianus the Finder\, as well as the New York Times bestselling novel\, Roma and its follow-up\, Empire. He has appeared as an on-air expert on Roman history and life on The History Channel. Saylor was born in Texas and graduated with high honors from The University of Texas at Austin\, where he studied history and classics. He divides his time between Berkeley\, California\, and Austin\, Texas. \nIn their engagement with the ancient world\, archaeology and historical fiction may be considered to reside at two ends of a spectrum\, one engaged in tactile\, hands-on contact with artifacts\, invariably involving cooperation between colleagues\, workers\, and authorities\, the other entirely imaginative and verbal\, drawing on many sources but created in solitude. But archaeology and historical fiction have in common a desire to make an authentic connection with the past\, and to find ways to share that connection with others. The author has spent the last thirty writing fiction set in ancient Rome\, frequently drawing inspiration from archaeological publications and exhibits. His latest novel\, Dominus\, completes a trilogy (begun by Roma and Empire) that follows the fortunes of a family from prehistoric Rome to the reign of Constantine the Great. In this talk he will attempt to share insights into a creative process that may represent an end-product of archaeology\, citing the case of a recently-discovered artifact that finds its way into the pages of Dominus. \n\n\n\n\n\n
