SUMMARY:"Operation Amythyst: How the Ancient Egyptions Got Their Bling 4000 Years Ago"
DESCRIPTION:About the lecture:\nSome of the most stunning jewelry from Ancient Egypt is made of amethyst. Its craftsmanship\, opulence\, and design epitomize quality in the ancient world. Yet the skill in making this jewelry started long before the cutting and buffing of the raw stone. Procuring amethyst in the Eastern Desert is fraught with many more perils and problems than Nile Valley craftsmen experienced. As the director of the Wadi el-Hudi Expedition to the Eastern Desert\, Liszka leads a team that has studied the remains of these ancient desert expeditions and a team who has firsthand experience of many of the perils that the ancient explorers would have fought as well. This talk examines the extremes and dangers that thousands of Ancient Egyptians went to in order to acquire these beautiful purple stones for the Pharaoh’s jewels. By investigating the archaeology\, art\, and inscriptions from Wadi el-Hudi in the Egyptian Eastern Desert\, we navigate through the whole process of amethyst acquisition: from finding\, to mining\, and surviving in the dangers of the desert. \nWe will gather to watch this recorded lecture (4:49-43:36) together\, followed by Q and A with Dr. Liszka via Zoom. The recording has captions and also includes an ASL interpreter. \nAbout the speaker:\nKate Liszka is associate professor of history at California State University\, San Bernardino\, and director of the Wadi el-Hudi Expedition in Egypt. Her research focuses on ancient Nubians interacting with Egyptians and the Egyptian government. She specifically examines these issues as part of two projects. She is currently finishing a monograph on the Medjay\, a group of pastoral Nubians who may become an important group of soldiers in Egypt’s Middle and New Kingdoms (c. 2300-1000 BCE). Kate also directs the Wadi el-Hudi Expedition to the Eastern Desert. This archaeological and epigraphic project looks at ancient Egyptian mining activities\, their organization\, and individuals who participated in them\, especially in light of ancient ethnicities.

SUMMARY:Climate Change and Migrating Farmers: The Spread of Agriculture to Southern Europe
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nFarming spread from its center of origin in western Asia to southern Europe at the beginning of the Holocene. This phenomenon has prompted many questions. Why did farming spread when it did? Who brought it to southern Europe\, and by what means? Migrant farmers from western Asia reached the Aegean before 9\,000 cal BP (c. 7\,000 BC). Then there was a pause that lasted a millennium. The onward spread of farming took this new economy rapidly inland to the Danube Basin\, and westward to the Adriatic and beyond. The westward dispersal took place along the coasts; the only reasonable explanation is that it was carried forward by migrating farmers looking for new lands to settle\, an hypothesis supported by the latest ADNA evidence. The question then is\, why did they leave the Aegean for the Adriatic and beyond so suddenly? Results from the “Early Farming in Dalmatia Project” are providing answers to these questions. Recent research has focused on the impact of a sudden reversal of climate\, the “8\,200 cal BP event”. During this episode the climate of the early Holocene became cold and dry. This phase lasted about 300 years\, or 10 human generations\, enough to disrupt the existing farming economy in the Aegean and over a much wider area. It caused some of these farmers to leave their homeland in search of fresh lands to colonize. It was these migrants who brought farming to the Adriatic and beyond. \nBio: \nAndrew M.T. Moore is Immediate Past President of the AIA. Recently retired from Rochester Institute of Technology\, he also taught European and world archaeology at the University of Arizona and Yale University. Dr. Moore has a particular interest in Scandinavian and Viking Age archaeology. Since 1960\, he has participated in archaeological surveys\, excavations\, and field research in England\, Italy\, Malta\, Croatia\, Greece\, Turkey\, Israel\, Iraq\, Jordan\, and Syria. His earlier research concentrated on the advent of agriculture and sedentary life in western Asia\, especially in Syria. In 2002\, Dr. Moore began a new project to investigate the spread of farming around the Mediterranean and into southern Europe. At the invitation of colleagues in Croatia\, he is conducting this research in central Dalmatia\, through surveys and excavations at the Neolithic villages of Danilo and Pokrovnik.

SUMMARY:Excavations at Ancient Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:The first excavations at ancient Phoenix (in southwestern Turkey)\, beginning in 2022\, have yielded extensive evidence for the existence of an Apollo Sanctuary at the site\, which was in use from the early Hellenistic period. The archaeological data have shown that the Doric temple transformed into a basilica in late antiquity\, serving as a church until the late Byzantine Period. This lecture focuses on the material culture that witnessed the ritual activities\, dedications\, and architectural transformation of the Apollo Sanctuary.
