SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Screening: Dating Australia's Oldest Rock Art
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussion of the Archaeology Hour talk by Helen Green (University of Melbourne). \nAustralia hosts the world’s oldest continuing culture\, and Aboriginal rock art represents one of its most significant records of knowledge. These paintings and engravings remain of deep importance to Aboriginal people today and provide valuable evidence for researchers seeking to understand long-term human-environment interactions. Yet one of the greatest challenges in rock art research is determining age. Without knowing how old the paintings and engravings are\, it is difficult to understand how the artworks relate to past changes in climate\, environment\, or culture. In this talk\, Dr. Helen Green will outline the latest scientific techniques used to establish the age of Australia’s oldest rock art\, and the innovative\, multi-disciplinary projects that bring together traditional Indigenous knowledge and Western science to deepen our understanding of these remarkable cultural records and how we might protect them into the future. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Screening: Metropolitan Walls of the Ọyọ Empire
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussion of the Archaeology Hour talk by Akin Ogundiran (Northwestern University). \nEnclosures and perimeter walls\, built of lateritic clay and stones\, are the most visible monuments and evidence of public works in the archaeological landscape of the Ọyọ Empire (West Africa). What purposes did these walls serve as markers of separation and connection? Join us to find out! \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Screening: NAGPRA as a Path to Healing and Reciprocity
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussion of the Archaeology Hour talk by Danyelle Means (Museum of Indian Arts & Culture\, Santa Fe). \nHave you noticed empty exhibit cases at museums over the past two years as museums move to comply with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA)? Means’ presentation reframes NAGPRA not as a legal obligation but as a vital opportunity for healing\, reciprocity\, and relationship-building between archaeologists\, museums\, and Indigenous communities. Drawing from Indigenous perspectives\, the talk explores how NAGPRA challenges institutions to move beyond compliance and toward practices rooted in respect\, sovereignty\, and shared stewardship. By centering Native voices and experiences\, this session invites the audience to consider how honoring ancestors and returning cultural items can transform the field into one of accountability\, trust\, and long-term collaboration. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Screening: The People's Arena
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussion of the Archaeology Hour talk by Alison Futrell (University of Arizona). \nIn ancient-Roman ‘arenas’ — structures and spaces like the Colosseum in Rome — mass events were staged that exaggerated\, aestheticized\, and then normalized extreme and shocking forms of violence\, deploying a twisted\, voyeuristic ‘pleasure’ intended to be derived from unreal genres of amplified bloodshed and death reserved *only* for those presented as variously criminal\, exotic/strange\, non-human and/or lesser-human… and fully disposable. This presentation will ask: how did the arena impact the lives of ordinary individuals… in the sands\, the seats\, and the substructures\, beyond the emperor’s box?

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Screening: Shipping Stone for Justinian’s Empire(?)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussion of the Archaeology Hour talk by Justin Leidwanger (Stanford University). \nThe Marzamemi “church wreck” (as it has been labeled) — a 6th-century CE shipwreck found off the southeastern tip of Sicily\, has long been interpreted as a symbol of the emperor Justinian’s ‘revival’ of a pan-Mediterranean\, ‘re-consolidated’ Roman empire. With a whopping one-hundred-ton cargo of prefabricated marble columns and religious furnishings\, the ship’s contents present somewhat of an enigma\, in that they represent neither a complete church nor a random assortment of available pieces. In this talk\, we will explore how the initial connections between the Marzamemi wreck and assumptions regarding ‘Justinian’s empire’ should be called into question. The Marzamemi wreck points us to a new look at economic\, political\, religious\, and artistic networks\, as well as the merchant sailors who tied together the Mediterranean world\, amidst the disintegration of a top-down imperial regime.

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Screening: Beer in Mesopotamia
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussion of the Archaeology Hour talk by Tate Paulette (North Carolina State University). \nThe inhabitants of the “land between rivers” (Mesopotamia) — today known as the Tigris and Euphrates rivers — experimented with many “firsts”… from urbanism to kingship to formalized systems of cuneiform writing. They also built the world’s first great beer culture. They loved their beer: its colors\, textures\, tastes\, and intoxicating effects. They sipped it through long reed straws and praised it in song and story. They drank beer at home\, on the job\, and in neighborhood taverns––also at feasts\, festivals and religious ceremonies. In this talk\, Tate Paulette introduces his new book\, In the Land of Ninkasi: A History of Beer in Ancient Mesopotamia. This authoritative but light-hearted account explains exactly what we know about the beers\, brewers\, and drinkers of ancient Mesopotamia\, what can be deciphered about it today\, and what puzzles still remain to be solved.

SUMMARY:Cleopatra and the Queens of Meroë
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will focus on the many sole-ruling kandakas (‘queens’) of the ancient kingdom of Meroë (Kush/Nubia)\, including those who ruled contemporaneously with Cleopatra and with Roman aggressions and occupation along the Nile valley. We will learn about the Nubian warrior queens who led troops in battle (and to victory) against Rome\, and deconstruct the reductive stereotypes often peddled about the powerful female rulers of the Nile. We will contrast the queens’ self-presentation with the ways in which Roman-imperial authors attempted to re-inscribe them. Please join us for this in-person lecture given by a leading scholar of ancient Nubia and Egypt.

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Livestream: Rosemary Joyce. “Complex Society Without Rulers”
DESCRIPTION:For many people\, the word “archaeology” conjures up images of monuments\, often interpreted as traces of the lives of powerful rulers who can seem to be inevitable parts of any urban\, agricultural society. But there are other stories archaeology can tell about societies in which there was no apparent ruler\, but nevertheless show the hallmarks of “complexity.” This lecture explores one such society\, the ancient Ulúa culture of northern Honduras\, neighbors to Classic Maya states. In Ulúa culture\, people used religion to reinforce social relations in a society of wealthy farmers who enjoyed artworks of extraordinary beauty… without rulers. Please join us in-person to watch this livestreamed Zoom lecture.

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Livestream: Zainab Bahrani. “Toward an Archaeology of Preservation”
DESCRIPTION:The history of archaeology as a scientific discipline has received a great deal of attention in recent years. As a result of extensive archival research and the reading of archives against the grain\, alternative or indigenous archaeologies and earlier forms of relationships to the past—such as antiquarianism—have also begun to receive more serious scholarly attention. Since the 1990s\, Zainab Bahrani’s scholarship has contributed to these historical directions in archaeology. She now augments archival and theoretical work with fieldwork\, presenting some of the archaeological evidence of millennia of preservation and conservation practices in the landscape of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan. Please join us in-person to watch this live-streamed Zoom lecture. \nLocation: Whitman College campus\, Maxey Hall\, room 207.
