SUMMARY:"They are still teaching us": Community Bioarchaeology and the Sisters of Loretto Project presented by Dr. Lauren Hosek
DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 2022\, construction necessitated the relocation of a small 19th /20th century cemetery of nuns from southwest Denver. Before their reinterment\, a team of local researchers and students worked with the Loretto Community to undertake a bioarchaeological analysis of the remains of the Sisters of Loretto. This ongoing project highlights community collaboration\, education\, and historical memory in the spirit of these women and their service to the Denver community. \nBio: Lauren Hosek (PhD Syracuse University 2020) is an assistant professor of Anthropology at the University of Colorado Boulder and a social bioarchaeologist with interests in skeletal approaches to embodied experiences of identity and social change. Broadly\, her interests also include skeletal plasticity and the life course\, paleopathology\, materiality\, religion and the body\, and mortuary archaeology. Her research integrates skeletal analysis with the study of material culture and historical narratives to address the interactions between human bodies and their broader social\, cultural\, and physical environments. She is currently examining diet and mobility in early medieval Central Europe through the lens of stable isotopes\, skeletal dental analysis\, and archaeological data. She uses similar techniques to study different communities in 19th-century America.

SUMMARY:Imagining a Greek Home for an Egyptian Goddess: Time\, Landscape\, and Architecture in Greek Sanctuaries to Isis presented by Dr. Lindsey Mazurek
DESCRIPTION:When Isis first arrived on Greek shores in the 3rd century BCE\, her new followers had to build sanctuaries appropriate to an Egyptian goddess. In the process of imagining a place for their Greek Isis to dwell\, devotees came up with a wide range of eclectic solutions that intertwined local needs\, imperialist fantasy\, and fantastical chronology. These sanctuaries do not draw from contemporaneous Egyptian art and architecture\, but rather from Greek stereotypes about Egypt and the Nile River. Isis’ Greek temples\, I argue\, allowed Greek devotees to imagine Egypt in a way that responded to their own experiences as provincial subjects of the Roman Empire. \nI begin with a brief overview of Isis’ and Sarapis cults’ arrival in Greece in the early Hellenistic period. Then\, I turn to literary evidence\, in which Greco-Roman authors from Herodotus to Pliny the Younger characterize Egypt as a timeless and strange place and highlight its unique flora and fauna. I next trace the popularity of these ideas in wall paintings and mosaics\, where depictions of the Nile convey ideas of otherness and imperial control. I conclude by discussing the sanctuaries of the Egyptian gods at Marathon and Gortyna. The sanctuary at Marathon combines imaginative architecture that resembles Pharaonic Egyptian temples\, archaizing sculpture that evoked a timeless Greco-Egyptian past\, and a riverine setting that recalled the Nile Delta. At Gortyna\, the sanctuary includes both an underground water crypt that echoed the Nilometers used to measure the river’s annual flood and cattle statuettes that personified the river’s waters. Taken together\, this evidence suggests that Greek devotees used sanctuary spaces to explore Greek conceptions of Egypt as an imagined\, far-off\, and ancient place that they could control in much the same way that Rome controlled and imagined Greece.

SUMMARY:New Technologies and Architectural Insights at the First Doric Temple in Sicily
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Phil Sapirstein presents his findings from a recent digital and architectural restudy of the temple of Apollo at Syracuse. Built in ca. 590 BCE\, it was the first major Greek temple to be built entirely from stone\, and thus it is fundamental to our understanding of the origins of Doric architecture. In addition to its architectural significance\, the building has a monumental inscription (IG XIV 1) carved into its eastern steps\, which should be intimately connected to the dedication of the temple\, and yet whose reading has been controversial since its discovery in 1864 up to the present day. During fieldwork at the site in 2018\, Dr. Sapirstein created a 3D model enhanced using new computational methods which makes clear that the accepted readings of the inscription are inaccurate in several key areas. The changes support a new interpretation of this enigmatic inscription as a celebration of an ancient technological breakthrough\, one that made it possible to erect the gigantic columns in the temple’s peristyle.

SUMMARY:Expanding the Spatial and Temporal Limits of the Pinson Mounds Landscape in Western Tennessee
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Professor Ed Henry will discuss the monumental earthen architecture present at Pinson Mounds State Archaeological Park (PMSAP) in West Tennessee\, which features prominently in the archaeology of the American Midsouth. However\, the Johnston and Elijah Bray mound sites\, situated west and east of PMSAP respectively\, are considered the anchors in defining the broader Pinson Landscape. Recent research in this area has dramatically reshaped how archaeologists might consider the temporal and spatial extent of this enigmatic Middle Woodland landscape and its ties to Hopewell societies in the eastern U.S. In my lecture I will discuss the field verification of new monumental features at Johnston\, new and unusual subsurface features identified at PMSAP\, and the first archaeological investigations of the Elijah Bray site. Our new discoveries reveal how our knowledge of this unique area expands our understandings of\, and approach to studying\, deeply used places in the archaeological record.

SUMMARY:King Midas of the Golden Touch in Context: Death\, Belief\, Behavior\, and Society in Ancient Phrygia
DESCRIPTION:Professor Elspeth Dusinberre will present her current work on the spectacular burial tumuli at Gordion (Turkey)\, the capital of ancient Phrygia and seat of the legendary (but historical) King Midas of the Golden Touch. This talk will consider material ranging from ca. 850-525 BCE. It will begin with Gordion’s oldest burial tumuli and look at the largest\, the so-called Midas Monument\, but it will focus ultimately on the last century or so of tumulus construction. The later tombs\, which include both inhumations and cremations\, display radical changes that reflect Gordion’s complex and shifting society. This talk will use mortuary remains to investigate such issues as power structures and display\, gender\, burial customs\, belief in an afterlife\, shifting populations\, and developments in society overall in ancient Phrygia.

SUMMARY:Street Theater: A Pompeian Neighborhood in Five Acts by Dr.  Jeremy Hartnett
DESCRIPTION:When we think of Roman cities\, it is tempting to conjure images of temples\, baths\, and amphitheaters. This talk storms into the narrow streets of Pompeii to make the case that\, for most Romans\, the real action happened on the neighborhood level. As told through five different stories\, we will see how ancient historians repopulate “empty” ancient spaces with a raucous cast of upper-class politicians\, slaves\, hucksters\, donkeys\, and so many more – all trying to scratch out a living\, make their mark\, and upstage competitors in the street.

SUMMARY:Community Archaeology at Amache\, Colorado’s Japanese American Confinement Camp
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Bonnie. J. Clark (University of Denver\, Department of Anthropology)\nThe forced removal and subsequent incarceration of over 120\,000 people of American of Japanese descent during World War II is a pivotal incident in world history. The sites of this confinement are significant resources for both research about and re-engagement with this critical\, yet shadowed experience. Since 2008\, Dr. Bonnie Clark has led collaborative archaeological investigations at the site of Amache\, Colorado’s War Relocation Authority confinement facility. In this talk Clark will discuss the ongoing project\, highlighting insights about the camp’s cultural landscape and the strategies of a confined people to reknit community and reclaim humanity. \nBio\nBonnie Clark is a Professor in the University of Denver’s Anthropology Department. A professional archaeologist since 1990\, Dr. Clark’s work has focused on using the tangible past– artifacts\, architecture\, settlement patterns–to tell a more inclusive history of western North America. Dr. Clark’s research interests include the relationships between material culture\, ethnicity\, and gender; cultural landscapes; community-engaged research; and heritage management. She teaches a range of classes for the anthropology department including Historical Archaeology\, Cultural Narratives\, and Anthropologies of Place. Dr. Clark serves as the Curator for Archaeology of the University of Denver Museum of Anthropology. In the Fall of 2011\, Dr. Clark was awarded the University of Denver’s Teacher/Scholar of the Year.

SUMMARY:Ancient Roads of the Chaco World: Monumentality\, Religion\, and Power
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Rob Weiner will discuss his recent fieldwork throughout the Chaco World\, which combines LiDAR\, drone aerial photography\, and on-the-ground documentation to investigate the history\, use\, and meaning of monumental roads in Chacoan society. He will focus on new insights regarding the destinations of roads and ritual practices carried out on them\, with particular attention to their role in perpetuating inequality. Insights from collaboration with the Navajo Nation and comparative examples of ritual pathways from throughout the ancient world offer new understandings of the role of linear earthwork features in the ancient Southwest.

SUMMARY:U2 Spy Plane Photos and The Archaeology of the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:Declassified military imagery from planes and satellites plays an important role in landscape and environmental archaeology. Historic imagery sources\, especially the large archives generated by the US during the Cold War\, are far better than Google Earth for providing archaeologists with a window into the past\, before development and intensive agriculture took hold in many rural parts of western Asia. In the mid-late 1990s\, the archaeology of arid regions in Eurasia was revolutionized by the declassification of CORONA “spy satellite” photographs showing large swaths of the region in high-resolution\, as they appeared in 1967-1972. Now there is a new source of even older high-resolution historical imagery: photos from U2 spy planes captured 1958-1960. \nIn this lecture\, Dr. Emily Hammer (UPenn) presents case studies showing how U2 photos can be used to shape archaeological and historical conclusions about early southwest Asia. These new datasets allow for a better understanding of the environmental distribution of prehistoric hunting traps (“desert kites”) in eastern Jordan\, the size of the ancient Mesopotamian city of Ur in southern Iraq and this city’s ancient water supplies\, as well as the spatial demography of 20th-century communities living around the marshes of southern Iraq.
