SUMMARY:Regions and Other Constructs in Pre-Hellenistic Western Anatolia
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Prof. Jana Mokrišová (Brown University) \nThe AIA’s 2026 Rodney S. Young Memorial Lecture  \nAbstract:\nWestern Anatolia was a multicultural space\, with much scholarly attention given to the interaction between Greeks and non-Greeks and maritime connectivity with the Greek world. A crucial reason for this is the tradition of post-Bronze Age migrations and the fact that by the Archaic period many coastal communities here were ‘Greek’\, explicitly claiming Greek identity as well as employing Greek institutions\, cult\, and language. This happened in Ionia and most of Aeolis\, while Karia and Lydia maintained a stronger connection to indigenous western Anatolian traditions. Surprisingly\, the way in which this process unfolded is still incompletely understood and often contested. \nDrawing on settlement patterns from the end of the Late Bronze Age to the Classical period\, this talk will shed light on the way in which archaeologists and historians have drawn cultural regional boundaries in western Anatolia. It will discuss their use as markers of connectivity and trace their development over time. It will then zoom onto the coastal and riverine corridors between Ephesos and Lydia to show that regionalization as a framework fails to account for cultural ambivalence that many communities there must have felt in their daily lives.

SUMMARY:Nomads of the Desert and the Sea: Evidence from Prehistoric Burial Mounds in Qatar
DESCRIPTION:Harald Ingholt Lecture in Middle Eastern Archaeology \nLecturer: Dr. Richard Fletcher \nAbstract: Prehistoric burial cairns have been a subject of archaeological investigation in Qatar since national development began in the 1950s. The study of various aspects of the burial mounds has yielded substantial evidence\, with over 2\,000 burials identified. Recent survey projects estimate a density of up to 10 mounds per km2 for the peninsula as a whole. A Qatar Museums project\, in collaboration with Sidra Medicine\, is testing this estimate through remote sensing to map the burial cairns\, using aerial photography\, satellite imagery\, and LiDAR\, and ground truthing results through field survey. Results for an area of 30\,000 km2 in northern Qatar indicate 10\,782 burials\, with a clear pattern of preference in the north-west opposite the island of Bahrain.T he results of the project support the hypothesis that nomads in the desert of northern Qatar were moving between Bahrain and Qatar\, probably on a seasonal basis.
