Exhibition | Urban Biographies, Ancient and Modern (December 11, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/52176 52176-12520893@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 11, 2018 9:00am
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

Incorporation of Native Communities in Archaeological Projects, Bolivia (December 13, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58375 58375-14491983@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 13, 2018 12:00pm
Location: School of Education
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

This presentation deals with the development of cooperative relationships with Aymara-speaking communities in the northern Lake Titicaca Basin of Bolivia, describing some of our experiences as foreign archaeologists, and the long-term benefits that have resulted for both the communities and our interdisciplinary projects. For example, the establishment of multi-functional site museums, a bilingual adult education program, and other projects in rural areas. In addition, I will show how our efforts to train local workers in the archaeological methods of field and laboratory, and integrating them in our projects have created a positive atmosphere of close friendship, trust, and support in our studies and dating of ancient stone-faced terraces built on a monumental scale, and documenting for the first time maize cultivation at high altitudes.

One of the most common questions we get at the Kelsey Museum is, “Are all the objects in the museum real?” The answer to this question is more complicated than you might think! On this guided tour, we’ll take a look at ancient forgeries, modern casts and replicas, and some clever fakes.

Saturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

Have you always wondered how we learned to read hieroglyphs after they had been long forgotten? What do the hieroglyphs in the Kelsey Museum actually say, and who could actually read and write in ancient Egypt? On this tour, we’ll take a closer look at this beautiful Egyptian writing system as it appears on artifacts in the Kelsey Museum including Djehutymose’s coffin, the spells on scarabs, and the false door of Qar, also known as Pepy-Nefer. Take home an activity book to practice writing like an Egyptian!

Human beings are political animals, said the Greek philosopher Aristotle: animals that live in the “polis,” the Greek word for city. Over two thousand years later, we are still political animals, and the study of ancient cities is of abiding interest, for our perceptions of the urban centers of the past continue to exert a powerful hold on modern culture.

This exhibition showcases three Classical cities where the University of Michigan sponsors field projects: Gabii in Italy, Olynthos in Greece, and Notion in Turkey. The archaeologists excavating these cities, in collaboration with students and faculty from U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, are comparing their findings to projects of urban rebuilding in contemporary Detroit, asking two main questions: How do contemporary archaeological methods facilitate the study of both ancient and modern cities? And how can the study of the past help illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing Detroit today?

(1) Contextualizing Research at Notion, Turkey: A Museum and Archival Approach AND (2) The Roman Period of the Western Argolid: Initial Analysis and Interpretations of an Intensive, Siteless Field Survey (January 17, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59660 59660-14777894@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 17, 2019 12:00pm
Location: School of Education
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

(1) DeFabio: The Notion Archaeological Survey, started in 2014 and directed by Prof. Christopher Ratté, is the first comprehensive study of the ancient port-city of Notion in western Turkey. Our surface collection results have found that the main dates of occupation at Notion were the Hellenistic to early Roman periods (3rd c. BCE to 1st c. CE). Our survey, however, was not the first investigation of Notion. Several earlier projects conducted limited excavations within and around the city. While preliminary results of these excavations have been published, there have been no detailed artifact studies. This talk will present the preliminary results of an ongoing project that uses museum collections and archival documents related to these previous projects to complement what we know about Notion from our survey.

(2) Frankl:The Western Argolid Regional Project (WARP) is an Intensive, siteless pedestrian survey investigating a 30 km² area of the Inachos River Valley in Greece’s North-East Peloponnese. The project seeks a diachronic understanding of the city of Argos’ hinterland with attention to settlement patterns, land-use, and microregional paths of movement. WARP conducted three field seasons between 2014 and 2016 and has now moved into the first stages of data analysis and publication. This brown bag will highlight the project’s methodologies as well as its initial analysis of Roman period data (1st BCE-7th CE). Our analysis of the Roman period begins with the examination of landscape-wide artifact distributions. These distributions are rendered at multiple chronological scales with attention to different artifact function types and measures of diversity. Additionally, these findings will be contextualized with other survey data collected in the region, which remains one of the most extensively investigated areas in Greece. WARP’s findings can, thus, revise and add further texture to existing narratives of Roman Imperialism.

Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

In this talk, Kimberly Swisher discusses some of the current work she has been doing with material from the Averett Site, the type site for the Averett Culture. This was a local population with a primarily hunting and gathering economy that lived in the Lower Chattahoochee River Valley in southwest Georgia from roughly AD 900 to AD 1300. After AD 1300, immigrant Mississippian populations intensified their habitation in the region, impacting the Averett existence. In her talk, Ms. Swisher also discuss her future plans and her dissertation research, which focuses on the social and cultural practices of these small-scale local populations and how they acted, re-acted, and interacted with the Mississippian immigrants, including how these local populations were affected socially and culturally. 

This lecture is sponsored by the Michigan Archaeological Society.

The 2019 U-M Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium theme is “Unravel.” On this guided tour, we will unravel complexities and inequalities of ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern societies through artifacts on display. We will also address the modern ways museums have engaged with and perpetuated inequality through both scholarly assumptions and problematic collecting practices. We look forward to discussing with you how the museum can improve on past practices and better engage with our community inside and outside the university.

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

The Transition to Cultural Adaptations in the Middle Stone Age in East Africa (February 14, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61043 61043-15024929@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 14, 2019 12:00pm
Location: School of Education
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

The Middle Stone Age began over 300 thousand years ago in East Africa. It marks the beginning of the Revolution that wasn’t in the evolution of modern behavior. Binford characterized the transition to cultural adaptations as the development of a “culturally-constructed” environment or “niche” that was strategically exploited with advanced planning. Gamble proposed that this transition involved the development of intergroup social interaction and information exchange networks to extend the social landscape beyond the boundaries of the local home range. Cultural niche construction using social information for planning is a key feature of the transition from primate troop to human tribal organization. I will present new archaeological evidence from Middle Stone Age sites in the Kenya Rift Valley for this troop-to-tribe transition.

Amphoras are some of the most interesting artifacts in the Kelsey Museum, and they provoke a lot of questions! What is up with those pointy bottoms? How heavy were they when they were full? What was used to stopper the opening at the top? (But seriously — why so pointy? How does that even work?) On this short Artifact Exploration mini-tour, we’ll take a deeper look and find out what makes an amphora so special.

Saturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors.

During the fall of 2018, U-M Museum of Anthropological Archaeology faculty and undergraduate students conducted survey and excavations at Gordon Hall, the residence of Judge Samuel W. Dexter, located in Dexter, Michigan. The goals of this project were to identify the remains of architectural features and outbuildings demolished during the house’s multiple renovations. Both the northern wing of the house and the large, eight-seat privy were located during excavations. In this presentation, Martin Menz discusses the process of data recovery, results, and future directions for UMMAA fieldwork at Gordon Hall.

This lecture is sponsored by the Michigan Archaeological Society.

“In the ancient city of Neba there stood a temple, and in the temple lived a cat. But the cat did not just live there. The cat was the lord of the temple.”

Join us for a kid-friendly tour of the Egyptian exhibits at the Kelsey Museum! We begin by reading aloud "Temple Cat," by Andrew Clements. Then we explore the galleries to find artifacts pictured in the book like hieroglyphs, jewelry, clothes, and our cat mummy. During the tour, replica artifacts will be available for kids to touch and learn from. Take home a scavenger hunt of other animals in the Kelsey Museum! This tour is great for our younger visitors, ages 4–8. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Saturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance.

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

This presentation will explore salvage anthropology, a movement spurred by threats of extinction faced by indigenous societies that brought millions of material culture objects into museums. As a result, questions have arisen for museums such as what to do with stolen artifacts, stolen knowledge, and thousands of human remains.

Campfires and Footprints: Small Geophysical Targets with Big Potential (March 14, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62040 62040-15276120@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 14, 2019 12:00pm
Location: School of Education
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

Geophysical prospection methods have been used for decades as an aid to archaeology. Much of this work has focused on defining boundaries of known sites, helping to guide ongoing excavations, and especially imaging large architectural targets. In contrast, this talk focuses on detecting very small geophysical targets, many of which would never likely be found without geophysical methods. We will first focus on magnetic detection of small, discrete campfires in Alaska, with examples spanning 12,000 years. Implications of hearth detection will be considered in the context of broader debates about the peopling of N. America. We will then turn our attention to White Sands, New Mexico, where recent geophysical work with magnetometry and ground-penetrating radar has successfully detected thousands of Pleistocene “ghost tracks”. These footprints, many of which are invisible to the eye, record the interactions of humans and megafauna at the close of the last Ice Age. Recently collected examples of human, mammoth, and ground sloth prints will be presented. Together, these examples show instances where geophysical imaging takes on a more indispensable role in archaeological research by allowing access to untapped archaeological and iconological archives that have eluded conventional detection methods.

The mummy coffin of the ancient Egyptian priest Djehutymose is one of the most famous artifacts in the Kelsey Museum. The coffin is covered in hieroglyphs, images of gods and goddesses, and symbols to protect Djehutymose on his journey to the afterlife. But what happened to his mummy? How did his coffin come to Ann Arbor? What do the hieroglyphs actually say? On this short Artifact Exploration mini-tour, we’ll take a deeper look and learn more about Djehutymose.

Follow Djehutymose on Twitter and Facebook to learn more about his coffin and life in ancient Egypt. Visit the Kelsey gift shop to purchase the book "Life, Death, and the Afterlife in Ancient Egypt: The Djehutymose Coffin in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology," by T. G. Wilfong, curator of Graeco-Roman Egypt and director of the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.

MAS Lecture | Regional Archaeology in the Peja and Istog Districts of Kosova (RAPID-Kosova): Results of the 2018 Field Season (March 21, 2019 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61679 61679-15170126@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 21, 2019 7:30pm
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

This lecture reports the results of an initial season of regional archaeological survey in the districts of Peja and Istog in western Kosova. RAPID-Kosova is the first intensive, systematic survey ever conducted in the Balkan Republic of Kosova, and aims to document settlement and settlement change through time. During June of 2018, we ran three survey teams in three zones covering 15.4 square kilometers in 1,510 tracts. The 15 new sites we identified and the 3,521 pieces of pottery we collected and analyzed indicate significant occupations in the region in all periods of the past. Perhaps the most important discovery was a large Bronze Age settlement, called Pepaj, located on the foot slopes below the Gradina hill fort near the village of Lubozhdë. Such “flat” Bronze Age sites are rare in the Balkans. Most late prehistoric sites are located on eroded hilltops with little remaining stratigraphy. Pepaj thus presents the opportunity to investigate an intact late prehistoric village of the type that must certainly have been in contact with villages in northern Albania. Ultimately, we hope to gauge the importance of such contacts to the formation of complex societies in Kosova, including as a result of trade with Greece and, later, Rome.

This lecture is sponsored by the Michigan Archaeological Society.

Everyday life of death: Accessing history on a human scale (March 28, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62624 62624-15414520@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2019 12:00pm

Understanding the role human agency and interaction play in the flows of history is a challenging task. Archaeology is well equipped to study history as sequences of transformative events linked together loosely by the thread of time, or as a continuous process of everyday life where time serves as a function of cultural persistence. On a macro-scale the sweeping reconfiguration of human-material relations marked by events and interpreted as cultural change have been at the center of archaeological practice since the first descriptions of ‘cultures’ as convenient analytical and spatio-temporal units of analysis. Within narratives of everyday life, the emphasis shifted to the mundane, to the multivocality and messiness of social existence. Corresponding to the decreasing scale of analysis and interpretive context, the struggle became to present the ways in which people’s repetitive day-to-day practices mattered and figured into broad-scale historical events. In my current project, I attempt to redirect focus from easily discernible events to political discourse, to the processes that lead up to change and to the ways in which agency constitutes the textur history. Through the analysis of mortuary practice, I will present a case study exploring the ways in which members of the Bronze Age Kajászó community engaged in political action surrounding change and persistence in the wake of some momentous transformations.

The Michigan Anthropology Colloquia Series: "Lemnian Earth and Foreign Forms: ceramics at Koukonissi in the Late Bronze Age" (April 1, 2019 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/51872 51872-12274522@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 1, 2019 3:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department of Anthropology

"Only a short distance offshore from Troy, the Bronze Age settlement on the islet of Koukonissi, Lemnos offers important evidence for the local production and consumption of Mycenaean pottery during the 14th century BCE, a time ostensibly of little contact of the North Aegean with the Mycenaean world, with the best evidence for Mountjoy’s “Upper Interface” being represented by Troy (phase VI late). This paper presents new evidence produced by integrated petrographic, chemical and stylistic ceramic analysis for Koukonissi as an outpost of the Southern Aegean, and contrasts this with its neighbor Troy on the Asia Minor coast.

At Troy during LH IIIA2, the bulk of the Mycenaean pottery seems to have been imported, mainly from the Argolid/NE Peloponnese, with assumed local pattern painted wares comprising only a small part of the total assemblage and standard Mycenaean wares (fine plain) being rare. In contrast, typical Mycenaean shapes were commonly imitated at Troy in local fabrics (grey and tan wares).

At Koukonissi, standard Mycenaean pottery, such as fine plain wares, are locally produced and well represented. Most importantly, the common local ware (Red Slipped pottery) seems relatively unaffected by the Mycenaean repertoire. This lies in contrast to other parts of the Eastern Aegean and Troy, where hybrid shapes and decorations are present.

This new identification of previously undocumented, substantial production of Mycenaean pottery on Lemnos has far-reaching implications, as some of the Eastern Aegean Mycenaean chemical compositional groups may have been produced on the island, something quite unexpected. The evidence from Koukonissi, therefore, offers the potential to alter our view of the interface between Mycenaean and other cultures. It suggests the existence of important differences at a social, economic and cultural level between Troy and Koukonissi, and a diversity of interaction with the southern Aegean and Mycenaean Greece between different sites in the North Aegean."




Mini-Bio:

Peter Day teaches and researches in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Sheffield, running a research group on ceramics which has close ties with the the National Centre for Scientific Research ‘Demokritos’ in Greece and the University of Barcelona.

He gained his BA in Archaeology at the University of Southampton under Colin Renfrew and Peter Ucko as Heads of Department. Having trained in Ceramic Petrography with David Peacock, he worked as Research Fellow in Ceramic Petrology at the Fitch Laboratory, British School at Athens from 1984-1986. He subsequently carried out doctoral research in the Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge, under the supervision of Sander van der Leeuw, on ceramic production in East Crete during the Neopalatial period of the Bronze Age and the twentieth century. He held a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Cambridge before a two year postdoctoral position at NCSR ‘Demokritos from 1991-1993.

From 1994 he has been based in Sheffield, working on analytical approaches to ceramics, both in terms of provenance and especially the reconstruction of ceramic technologies. From 1998-2002, he was Co-ordinator of the GEOPRO European Training Network and has been involved in a succession of other major, collaborative projects funded by the European Union. His research usually has a Mediterranean focus, though he has also been involved in a range of ceramic-based projects in Asia, Africa and the Americas. Although basically an anthropological archaeologist and prehistorian, Peter has been gradually civilized by a number of postgraduates and postdoctoral researchers that he has had the privilege of working with.

Using Behavioral Ecology to Understand Mobility among Prehistoric Andean Hunter-Gatherers (April 4, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62819 62819-15475213@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 4, 2019 12:00pm

In his monograph Toward a Behavioral Ecology of Lithic Technology (2009), Todd Surovell models mathematically the economics of prehistoric hunter-gatherers’ production, use, and discard of lithic technologies. Although there is great potential in his models to extend our understanding of hunter-gatherer mobility patterns and landscape use, they have received little empirical testing in the decade since publication. This talk describes the application of one subset of his models—those that use proportions of the lithic assemblage to estimate site occupation length—to a diachronic study of Cunchaicha, a stratified, multi-component prehistoric rock shelter of the Peruvian Andes.

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

The Etruscans of first millennium BC central Italy are renowned for their artistic output, but what were the underlying processes of settlement and infrastructure that supported their political achievements? The lecture will provide the complementary evidence of state formation from regional survey and economy that allow comparison of Etruscan state formation with the classic studies from the Old and the New World. The lecture is based on Simon Stoddart's forthcoming book for Cambridge University Press: Power and Place in Etruria. The spatial dynamics of a Mediterranean civilisation. 1200-500 B.C. and more recent collaborative work.

“When I see a work of art, something happens in my heart.”

Join us for a kid-friendly tour of the Kelsey Museum! We begin by reading aloud "The Museum," written by Susan Verde and illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. Then we explore the galleries to find art and artifacts that make us want to sing, to feel, to dance, to think, to create, and to connect with the people of the past. Take home a booklet of activities and coloring pages for further discovery! This tour is great for our younger visitors, ages 4–8. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Saturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

When you visit the Kelsey Museum, do you find yourself wondering how the artifacts on display were excavated? What techniques were used in the 1920s versus today? What can an artifact really tell us about the life of someone who lived thousands of years ago and very far away? On this tour, we’ll answer these questions by looking closely at artifacts from the ancient Near East, Greece, Egypt, and Rome.

Saturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance.

We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

“A is for Archaeologist. Archaeologists uncover clues
to life in Ancient Rome,
revealing buried treasures:
frescos, rings, a vase, and a comb.”

Join us for a kid-friendly tour of the Roman exhibits at the Kelsey Museum! We begin by reading aloud some highlights from "G is for Gladiator," written by Debbie and Michael Shoulders and illustrated by Victor Juhasz. Then we explore the galleries to find artifacts pictured in the book like brightly colored frescoes, mosaics, jewelry, coins, and toys. During the tour, replica artifacts will be available for kids to touch and learn from. Take home a scavenger hunt and a merels game board for further discovery! This tour is great for our younger visitors, ages 4–8. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Saturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

In 332 BCE, Alexander the Great conquered Egypt. Following his death, his general Ptolemy established a new dynasty that ruled until the Romans conquered Egypt in 30 BCE, after the defeat of Marc Antony and Cleopatra. The University of Michigan’s excavations in Karanis, Terenouthis, and Dimé (Soknopaiou Nesos) reveal the daily life of people living in Egypt during this period. On this guided tour, see the artifacts from homes, temples, granaries, and public buildings that help us understand this interesting period in Egyptian history.

Saturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour, please contact the education office (734-647-4167) at least two weeks in advance. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.
