SUMMARY:Crouching Tigers\, Hidden Elephants
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nWhile a global phenomenon\, rock art has been a relatively recent subject of study in Southeast Asia with the number of known sites growing from a handful in the 1960s to over a thousand today. Research accelerated in the last 20 years with better recording and analytical techniques as evidenced by the increased number of papers on Southeast Asian rock art in international conferences and journals since the 2000s. The majority of sites are located from Indonesia and Thailand\, where sustained episodes of research have been conducted. New dates from Indonesia challenge long-standing ideas about the ‘origin’ of art while other discoveries shed light on the movements and activities of peoples across this diverse landscape. This lecture presents a survey of rock art across Southeast Asia from the deep past to more modern times and shows how rock art can help us better understand the archaeology of Southeast Asia. \nShort bibliography and/or website on lecture topic: \nhttps://www.southeastasianarchaeology.com/rock-art-of-southeast-asia/ \n(includes a bibliography and overview) \nBio: \nNoel Hidalgo Tan is the Senior Specialist in Archaeology at the SEAMEO Regional Centre for Archaeology and Fine Arts in Bangkok\, where he works to promote the archaeology of Southeast Asia by building capacity among regional archaeologists\, finding ways to engage the public about archaeological and cultural heritage\, and conducting archaeological research. His main research interest is in the rock art of Southeast Asia\, where he spent his postgraduate work documenting sites in Malaysia\, Thailand\, Cambodia\, Laos and Myanmar. His recent projects include rock art documentation in western Laos and southern Thailand; the protection of regional underwater cultural heritage; archaeology\, tourism and the protection of Southeast Asian cultural heritage sites; and developing future capacity in regional archaeology education in Southeast Asia. He is the managing editor of the SPAFA Journal (www.spafajournal.org) and runs an online resource website on Southeast Asian Archaeology (www.SoutheastAsianArchaeology.com)

SUMMARY:Status and Gender in Hawaiian House Complexes
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nExploring the material culture of Hawaiian house sites is vital for a better understanding of ancestral social structures. Traditional household spaces were designed around the the ‘ai kapu (taboo) system of sanctions that governed social interaction to accommodate daily subsistence and production activities. Results indicate a distinct post-1650 C.E. intra-site distribution of faunal remains that is concomitant with status and potentially gender food consumption. This patterning\, however\, does not ideally match the model derived from ethnographic descriptions. \nBio:\nMichael J. Kolb (Ph.D. 1991\, UCLA) is Professor of Anthropology at Metropolitan State University and Presidential Teaching Professor Emeritus at Northern Illinois University. His research focuses on ancient and historical household and political economies and the building of monumental architecture. He has published\, amongst other things\, on the labor energetics in medieval Sicily\, prehistoric Europe\, and Oceania. His most recent book is Making Sense of Monuments (London 2020).

SUMMARY:The Archaeological Technicians of Quft and the Art of Excavation as Cultural Heritage in Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe small town of Quft in southern Upper Egypt is unique in the history of archaeology for having developed a specialized craft industry of highly skilled archaeological excavators\, whose skills and networks in the field have been passed down through several generations of family “guilds” from the late nineteenth century to today. This talk traces the historical origins of the Qufti excavation system\, as well as the economic trajectory of its rise and decline as an archaeological “commodity;” describes the documentation and historical record it has left behind; and makes the case for conceptualizing the Quftis’ work as a kind of intangible cultural heritage in Egypt. \nBio: \nWendy is an historian of archaeology and modern Egypt. She is currently writing a history of archaeology and the Egyptian economy under the khedives (c.1850-1914)\, based on her doctoral research at the University of Pennsylvania. She has written several articles on the history of archaeological labor and fieldwork and is also a member of the Institute of Fine Arts\, NYU excavations at Abydos\, Egypt\, and the Arabic Diaries Project of the Harvard University-MFA\, Boston Expedition to Egypt and Sudan Archive. She holds a PhD in History from the University of Pennsylvania\, an MA in Museology from the University of Washington\, and a BA in Linguistics and Anthropology from the University of Washington.

SUMMARY:April 29\, 2023: Toys\, Burial Goods or Ritual Objects? - West African figurines and their archaeological traces presented by André Luiz Ruivo Ferreira Burmann\, PhD candidate Institute for Archaeological Sciences\, Pre- and Protohistory of Africa\, Goethe-University\, Frankfurt am Main (Germany)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nWest African figurines are a notable part of the world heritage. Both legally and illegally\, they were (and continue to be) collected and exhibited in museums and collections all over the world. Studies of these impressive 3D representations of humans\, animals\, and hybrid beings have focused mainly on formal\, iconographic and stylistic aspects of the figurines. A supra-regional examination of their long history of human interaction and deposition is often absent. Contextual studies on the archaeology of figurines are rather rare\, and\, mostly\, center on a small regional scale. However\, in the last few decades\, work taking place in some larger study areas\, such as the Nigerian Nok Culture\, have revealed new insights into the study of figurines. This presentation will share work in progress of a large-scale West African synthesis of archaeological sites and archaeological contexts that have yielded figurines. How were these objects disseminated over time and space? Which figurine traditions appeared when and where? What do we know about their (last) use respectively their way of deposition? Has the latter changed over time? And what role did the Nok Culture possibly play in this development? \nBio: \nAndré Luiz R. F. Burmann is a Ph. D. candidate in Pre- and Protohistory of Africa at the Institute for Archaeological Sciences\, Goethe-University in Frankfurt (Germany). He studied Prehistoric Archaeology and Archaeology of the Roman Provinces\, in addition to Portuguese Philology at the Universities of Munich and Frankfurt/Main. His 2016 Master thesis focused on the archaeological context of terracotta sculptures from the Central Nigerian Nok Culture (1500 BC–1 AD). For the three following years\, André Burmann was a research associate in the DFG Research Training Group “Value and Equivalence” at the University of Frankfurt. His Ph.D. research focuses specifically on West African figurines yielded from archaeological contexts\, aiming to analyze and compare relevant sites and features through time and space to examine the development of depositional patterns of figurines. Moreover\, André has worked in different museums and with curation teams since being a student. From 2019 to 2021\, he was a Scientific Trainee at the LWL Museum for Archaeology\, the Westphalian State Museum in Herne\, followed by a working stay in the Museée d´Angoulême in France. Burmann is an active member of the Pan-African Archaeological Association (PanAf)\, the Society of Africanist Archaeologists (SAfA)\, the West-African Archaeological Association (WAAA)\, the ICOM Germany Young Professionals Network and the children’s development organization Enfants avec Espoir e.V. Since September 2022\, he works at Engagement Global gGmbH in Bonn\, being responsible for networking and public relations in the German-African Youth Office.
