SUMMARY:U-2 Over Egypt: A Remote Survey of the Nile Delta using Cold War Aerial Photography
DESCRIPTION:The KY Society of the AIA and the University of Louisville Department of Anthropology present a free public lecture by Dr. Oren Siegel (University of Toronto). During the height of the Cold War\, the United States flew a series of reconnaissance missions using U-2 spy planes over Egypt. Film negatives from two flights that cover much of the Nile Valley and Nile Delta from 1959 have recently been declassified\, and the resulting imagery is both earlier and higher resolution than publicly available CORONA satellite imagery. This talk will discuss the ongoing work by the Brown-Toronto U2 Aerial Photography of Egypt Project to digitize this imagery from the National Archives and Records Administration and make these photographs publicly available to all interested researchers. Beyond this\, I will showcase the results of our ongoing remote survey of Beheira Governorate using U-2 imagery\, highlighting how this imagery gives us a unique window onto a landscape that has changed significantly over the last 5 decades. The talk will close by looking at how this compares to other satellite imagery and aerial photography and highlight the potential of this dataset for archaeological research.

SUMMARY:Life and Death along the Nile: Tales from the Tombs of Tombos
DESCRIPTION:Beginning around 1500BC\, the New Kingdom Egyptian Empire expanded its reach into the territory of its southern neighbor\, Nubia\, in search of resources such as gold and cattle. Over the next few hundred years\, interactions between the ancient Egyptians and Nubians would include violent encounters\, trade and exchange\, political relationships\, and the establishment of interethnic communities. One Egyptian colonial community established in Nubia\, Tombos\, spans the period from Egyptian expansion through the empire’s decline\, allowing for rare perspective on this time of sociopolitical transition. In her talk\, Professor Michele Buzon will explore the processes of change and consequences of contact for the people who once lived at Tombos. Evidence for disease stress\, nutritional deficiencies\, immigration from Egypt to Nubia\, and biological relatedness between inhabitants will be presented. Osteobiographies of specific individuals from Tombos will be described to highlight how the rich archaeological record can be used to understand past societies.

SUMMARY:Colonial Transitions in Ancient Perú: How Osteoimmunology is Reconstructing Hidden Life Histories
DESCRIPTION:How can bioarchaeology be used to illuminate colonial encounters? Dr. Fabian Crespo (UofL Anthropology) addresses this question in his talk\, “Colonial Transitions in Ancient Perú: How Osteoimmunology is Reconstructing Hidden Life Histories.” This presentation will discuss the complex biosocial transition in northwest Peru during the colonial process and how new theoretical and methodological approaches can help reconstruct the immune system in past populations. We explore how different immunological profiles recovered from bones and molecules can help show how complex and heterogeneous the biosocial landscapes were before and after colonial transitions\, challenging and disputing simplistic and unilinear trajectories of life history changes during colonial encounters. \nDr. Fabian Crespo is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Louisville. \n“Colonial Transitions in Ancient Perú” is presented by the Kentucky Society of the Archaeological Institute of America and the UofL Department of Anthropology.

SUMMARY:Climate change\, human health\, and building an equitable sustainable future
DESCRIPTION:Earth’s mean annual surface temperature has increased by 1.3 degrees Celsius over the pre-industrial average. We know that over the next 75 years\, without an immediate and dramatic change in behavior\, we will see an increase of 3-8 degrees C\, levels not seen in the time since humans first evolved. The risks for human societies from this magnitude of warming are complex\, with interacting hazards that are potentially amplified by our response. Historical sciences can speak to these uncertainties about how it will affect our societies and our health. In this talk\, Dr. Gwen Robbins Schug will describe archaeological perspectives on human health and well-being during periods of rapid climate change over the past 10\,000 years. She will focus on the historical and socio-cultural factors that promoted resilience and those that were associated with high levels of violence\, infectious disease spillover\, and starvation. Ultimately\, Dr. Robbins Schug proposes that discussions of human health may be one of the greatest opportunities for motivating the urgent\, transformative\, and sustained actions we now require to achieve a fair\, equitable\, sustainable future on Earth.

SUMMARY:An Archaeological Investigation and Interpretation of a Cornerstone Deposit from Louisville's Confederate Monument
DESCRIPTION:Amid recent efforts to remove Confederate Monuments throughout cities in the South\, the City of Louisville removed its monument situated on a public street in the middle of the University of Louisville’s main campus. During disassembly of the monument\, a cornerstone box containing commemorative objects was found. This presentation discusses these objects and their relationship to the “Lost Cause” movement espoused by ex-Confederates. It also examines the battle for the memorial landscape and the monument itself as a symbol of ex-Confederate power that perpetuated the “Lost Cause” narrative into the present day.

SUMMARY:NAGPRA: The Repatriation and Reburial of Angel Mounds
DESCRIPTION:Passed in 1990\, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) provides a legal mechanism for the repatriation and return of Native American and Native Hawaiian ancestral remains and cultural items. In addition to the return of collections\, consultation with federally recognized tribal nations is one of the most important components of this federal mandate. In 2021\, Indiana University completed the Angel Mounds repatriation\, the largest in Midwestern history. This project remains a valuable case study which highlights the complexities of working with a large archaeological collection\, collaborating with numerous tribal nations\, and navigating the challenges of finding respectful reburial lands.

SUMMARY:In Search of Greener Pastures: Climate Change\, Migration\, and the Emergence of Fort Ancient Societies in the Middle Ohio Valley
DESCRIPTION:How did climate change and migration shape early settlement in the Middle Ohio Valley? Archaeologist Aaron Comstock (Indiana University East) addresses this in his upcoming talk. \nThe spread of maize agriculture into the Eastern Woodlands of North America was a process that resulted in significant cultural transformations. In the Middle Ohio Valley\, the origins of the first maize farmers\, referred to as Fort Ancient societies\, are unclear. While traditionally considered an in situ development\, recent research suggests that some Fort Ancient sites exhibit traditions practiced by neighboring Mississippian polities. This presentation explores recent fieldwork at the Guard and Turpin sites\, early Fort Ancient villages occupied between AD 1\,000-1\,300\, with the goal of characterizing some of the first villages in the Middle Ohio Valley. By examining these sites in a broader regional context that includes climate change and migration\, a more complex and dynamic picture of the first farmers in the region emerges.

SUMMARY:A Culinary History of Collapse\, Conquest\,  and Cultural Identity in Ancient Perú
DESCRIPTION:How do archaeologists use food to tell the story of the past? Archaeologist Robyn Cutright (Centre College) addresses this question in our next talk! \n​Between 650-1450 CE\, residents of the Jequetepeque Valley of northern coastal Perú experienced several large-scale sociopolitical disruptions\, including the collapse of the Moche polity\, the transition to the subsequent Lambayeque period in the context of highland and northern influences\, and conquest by the expanding Chimú empire. This talk explores local experiences of these events\, using cuisine as a window onto everyday life in rural communities. Culinary continuities and changes across three Jequetepeque Valley sites suggest that while collapse represented a deep rift in the fabric of rural daily life\, conquest was marked by local accommodation and cultural persistence.

SUMMARY:Communicating with the Ancestors: Archaeology at Oxmoor Plantation\, Louisville\, Kentucky
DESCRIPTION:Come and learn what Kentucky Archaeological Survey archaeologists have been doing at Oxmoor Farm in Louisville\, Kentucky for the last year and a half. Lori Stahlgren\, Project Archaeologist with KAS\, will be speaking about this ongoing project. In 2021\, the Oxmoor Farm Foundation hired KAS to conduct a survey around extant buildings that once served as dwellings for enslaved people in the early 19th century and as dwellings for farm workers post-bellum and into the 20th century. Oxmoor plans to create museum space to commemorate the lives of the enslaved African Americans and to tell their stories\, both separate and intertwined with the Bullitt family\, who owned the plantation. The survey found intact archaeological deposits around the extant buildings and investigations extended into the interior of the buildings. The work thus far has generated thousands of artifacts and new lines of research involving the enslaved people at Oxmoor. This discussion will describe the work to date and present some of the findings and artifacts discovered\, as well as efforts to connect with descendants of the people enslaved at Oxmoor.
