SUMMARY:Milo Rossi: Offline and In Person (Milwaukee\, WI)
DESCRIPTION:Internet sensation Milo Rossi — better known to his 3+ million followers as “miniminuteman” — is coming to Milwaukee for an unforgettable evening of science\, skepticism\, and side-splitting commentary. This isn’t your typical archaeology lecture. \nWith more than a billion views\, the self-proclaimed “Googledebunker” has become one of the most trusted voices in debunking archaeological misinformation and making science accessible to everyone. In this engaging talk\, he’ll dive into the real dangers of pseudoscience and pseudo-archaeology\, and discuss why science communication matters now more than ever. \nWhether you’re a longtime fan or new to Milo’s work\, expect his signature blend of humor\, insight\, and passion for truth as he tackles some of today’s biggest challenges in scientific literacy. Come ready to think critically\, laugh a little\, and leave with a fresh perspective on how we can all be better stewards of knowledge and the world around us. \nTICKETS: https://crowdwork.com/e/milwaukee-milo-rossi-offline-and-in-person

SUMMARY:Incidental Politics of Memory: State Nationalism\, Looting\, and the Intangible Severing of Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Discussions surrounding the destruction of cultural heritage predominantly focus on physical violence—the bombing of sites\, the looting of museums\, and the illicit trade of antiquities. While critical\, this focus often overlooks a quieter\, systemic form of loss: the intangible alienation of communities from their own pasts. Drawing on Michel-Rolph Trouillot’s framework of historical silencing and Yannis Hamilakis’s critiques of nationalist archaeology\, this talk re-evaluates heritage destruction as an epistemic and ideological process.

SUMMARY:The Living Legacy Of Amazonia's “Lost” Garden Cities: Three Decades of Collaborative Archaeology in the Xingu Indigenous Territory\, Brazil.
DESCRIPTION:This lecture gives an overview of collaborative archaeology and cultural heritage studies by the author and Brazilian colleagues with the Kuikuro Indigenous nation in the Território Indígena do Xingu (TIX) of the southern Brazilian Amazon. The project was Initiated in 1992\, born out of joint activities developed for the UN ecological summit in Rio de Janeiro\, and continues uninterrupted until today\, including several phases of collaborative work sponsored by UF. During this time\, three generations of Indigenous research participants have been trained in archaeological mapping and excavation\, remote-sensed data collection and mapping with precision GPS and\, more recently\, lidar and photogrammetry by colleagues at the Museu Goeldi in Brazil and in the USA. These joint discoveries revealed a genuinely Amazonian form of pre-European urbanism\, “garden cities\,” which represents an important example of high population densities and sophisticated forest and wetland management systems in the Amazon before 1492. Over the past five years\, lidar has revealed several similar cases of Indigenous urbanism and urbanized landscapes in the Amazon\, but the Xingu is unique in the degree to which contemporary descendant communities carry on the legacy of these ancient civilizations\, extending over two millennia in the TIX. Beyond these archaeological discoveries\, this presentation explores questions of collaboration\, knowledge sovereignty\, and self-determination of the Kuikuro and other Indigenous peoples across the Amazon.

SUMMARY:Unearthing the Ancient World: Archaeological Dig Educator Workshop
DESCRIPTION:PreK-12 educators are invited to experience the Jewish Museum’s new simulated archaeological dig! Learn about the archaeological process and discover what artifacts can teach us about how groups of people lived\, worked\, and interacted in ancient times. View original ancient artifacts\, excavate replicas of collection objects in the simulated dig\, and create a mosaic or clay artifact in the Museum’s art studio. All participants will receive an educator pass for free admission to the Jewish Museum for one year and a copy of Archaeology: A Resource for Educators.\nNew York State teachers may receive 2 CTLE hours.
