SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? A History of Voting in America”
DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Hole Lot of Uncertainty: Probabilistic Evaluation of Archaeological Subsurface Survey
DESCRIPTION:In regions with low surface visibility\, archaeologists often turn to systematic subsurface testing for purposes of site location. While numerous factors impact both the effectiveness and efficiency of these prospection efforts\, “cookie-cutter” survey strategies are often employed without a thorough examination of their costs and benefits\, and the results of such surveys are subject to erroneous interpretation when factors like effectiveness and limits of detection are not taken into account. In this presentation\, we examine how a simulation-based approach that incorporates prior data can probabilistically determine the effectiveness and efficiency of different survey strategies. Beyond permitting the design of survey strategies that maximize the possibility of site detection and husband precious resources (time\, money)\, this method also permits the generation of post hoc correction factors that make possible the critical evaluation and direct comparison of previous survey results.
