SUMMARY:Next to Turquoise Domes: Archaeological Investigations in the City of Bukhara
DESCRIPTION:About the lecture: \nFive extensive seasons of archaeological fieldwork have yielded a veritable treasure trove of new information about the long\, complex history of the city of Bukhara\, which was once a key node along the fabled “Silk Roads.” This presentation will introduce new data derived from finds and observations made at a series of fortifications\, various kinds of dwellings\, workshops\, and burial contexts. They speak to a wide range of historical phenomena and problems\, such as the potential existence of a Seleucid military colony in the area of the later city during the 3rd century BCE\, the roots and stages of Bukhara’s urban growth as an important node within the Sogdiana trading networks during Late Antiquity (3rd to 8th centuries CE)\, transcontinental connections during the city’s heyday under the Samanid dynasty during the 10th century\, and the health status of the urban populace on the eve of the Mongol invasion (late 12th/early 13th century). \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Sören Stark\, Professor of Central Asian Archaeology at New York University\, has close to two decades of experience in conducting and directing archaeological fieldwork in Central Asia. His current research interests are\, among others\, on Hellenistic and Late Antique/Early Medieval Sogdiana and the archaeology and history of nomadic groups close to oasis territories in Western Central Asia. His publications include a monograph on the archaeology of the 6th-8th century Türks in Inner and Central Asia\, an exhibition catalogue on Early Iron Age kurgans from Kazakhstan\, and numerous articles and book chapters on the history and archaeology of Sogdiana between the Hellenistic and the Islamic periods.

SUMMARY:Punitive Labor and Enslavement in the Roman Bakery
DESCRIPTION:About the lecture: \nIn 2023\, excavators in Pompeii found a bakery in the Casa di Rustio Vero that was separated from the house—and the rest of the world—by metal bars. The excavators interpreted the bars as an indication of incarceration and the use of convicts as labor. This lecture explores the evidence for convict labor in bakeries and argues that the material consequences of enslavement and incarceration are probably indistinguishable in the setting of commerical activity. Deploying both textual and material evidence\, Benton will show the various ways that punitive labor grafted onto different systems and scales of production. \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Jared Benton\, associate professor of art at Old Dominion University\, is co-director of the Saïss Plain and Zerhoun Massif archaeology project\, a survey of the plain SE of Volubilis in Morocco. He has previously excavated workshops in Volubilis and was a field supervisor for the American Excavations at Morgantina from 2013-2020. His book\, The Bread Makers\, explores Roman commercial baking\, with a focus on how production would differ not only between communities but also between operators with different investment tolerances. With a number of co-authors\, he recently published an article on the structure and archaeobotany of a bakery at Volubilis in Mouseion.
