SUMMARY:The Becoming of Mesoamerican Pigments: The Olmec presented by Dr. Gerardo Gutierrez (CU Boulder)
DESCRIPTION:This lecture presents a new study of pigments and coloring materials that offers a unique window into the development of indigenous science\, ideology\, and learning processes to innovate knowledge. The color palettes of Juxtlahuaca\, Cauadzidziqui and Oxtotitlan caves\, all located in the state Guerrero\, Mexico\, will be compared and evaluated and I will propose how and why the Olmecs began a technological revolution in the manufacture of colors in early Mesoamerica.

SUMMARY:The Arizona Sicily Project: Survey and Excavations in the province of Trapani presented by Dr. Emma Blake
DESCRIPTION:A decade of fieldwork in westernmost Sicily has revealed a previously unnoticed pattern: high quantities of North African artifacts in virtually all periods\, from the Paleolithic to the present day. From prehistoric stone tools\, to Carthaginian amphoras and Roman finewares\, to the soda bottles of contemporary migrants\, a picture emerges of a deep and enduring localized connection between Sicily and Tunisia. This talk presents the material traces of Tunisian influence in western Sicily from two field surveys and a new excavation\, and explores the significance and nature of those complex interactions across the Sicilian Channel. \nBio: Emma Blake (Ph.D. University of Cambridge)\, is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. She is Editor-in-Chief (with Robert Schon) of the American Journal of Archaeology. Blake is a Mediterranean archaeologist\, focusing on identity construction in Italy in the second and first millennia BCE. She is the author of Social Networks and Regional Identity in Bronze Age Italy (Cambridge University Press 2014)\, as well as numerous articles. She has conducted fieldwork in western Sicily for many years and directs an archaeological field survey tracing the extent of Tunisian influence in western Sicily in all periods. She is co-directing new excavations at the ancient city of Segesta\, Sicily.

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: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: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.
