What makes Montpelier a wonderful property for surveys and excavations is its relative undisturbed condition. All of the sites we excavate have never been plowed–and most were abandoned in the 1840s\, leaving the archaeological features in pristine condition. \nThis season we will be excavating the Blacksmith Shop complex at the Madison plantation. All of our current projects are part of a larger effort to interpret and reconstruct the lives of the enslaved community so it can be accessed by visitors. \nThe LEARN Archaeology Expedition program has been operating at Montpelier for a decade-and-a-half\, with many of the same volunteers returning year after year. We are\, however\, keen to add new faces to the program. All of the scheduled programs are designed to give participants actual excavation experience on an archaeological site working side-by-side with trained professional archaeologists. We have a staff of six archaeologists who work with participants both in the lab and in the field\, which means you have personal interaction with archaeological staff and this allows you to work on sensitive features\, artifacts\, and deposits that normally one would not get to handle. You are treated as a member of the research team and we step you through the entire excavation process. While you are here at Montpelier\, you will be engaged in lectures\, and take tours of various archaeological sites on the property. \nYou can learn about all of our LEARN Archaeology Expeditions at the following link. \nWe also host a month-long university archaeology field school. For more information on this\, please see our field school web page. \nFor more information contact Melissa Kerrat dig@montpelier.org URL:https://www.archaeological.org/event/unearthing-a-slave-community/ LOCATION:PA\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.archaeological.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/home-farm-tour-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Melissa Kerr":MAILTO:dig@montpelier.org GEO:41.3140214;-105.5846008 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220420 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230101 DTSTAMP:20260415T000046 CREATED:20220422T125402Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220422T142456Z UID:10006367-1650412800-1672531199@www.archaeological.org SUMMARY:Cochineal: How Mexico Made the World See Red (Online Exhibit Spotlight) / Cochinilla: Cómo México Hizo que el Mundo Viera el Rojo (Exposición en Línea) DESCRIPTION:Cochineal\, a tiny insect found on certain species of Oaxacan cacti\, was harvested for millennia by Indigenous peoples to dye fabrics a vibrant red color. But following the European invasion of the Americas in the sixteenth century\, it became a widely coveted\, globally traded commodity that transformed textiles and art\, and made Mexico a center for technological innovation. Cochineal: How Mexico Made the World See Red explores how this Indigenous technology changed the world\, becoming an international symbol of power\, while simultaneously disenfranchising its discoverers. \nLa cochinilla\, un diminuto insecto que se encuentra en ciertas especies de cactus oaxaqueños\, fue cosechada durante milenios por los pueblos indígenas para teñir las telas de un vibrante color rojo. Pero tras la invasión europea de las Américas en el siglo XVI\, se convirtió en un producto ampliamente codiciado y comercializado a nivel mundial que transformó los tejidos y el arte\, y convirtió a México en un centro de innovación tecnológica. Cochinilla: Cómo México Hizo que el Mundo Viera el Rojo explora cómo esta tecnología indígena cambió el mundo\, convirtiéndose en un símbolo internacional de poder\, al tiempo que privaba de derechos a sus descubridores.

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.

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.
