The Kelsey Museum of Archaeology has a large collection of Egyptian amulets, both on display and in collections storage. Most are so tiny—less than one inch tall—that they're hard to see during in-person tours, or even during a regular visit to the Kelsey. In this tour, we take advantage of the virtual format to get a detailed look at some of these amazing artifacts. We consider their purpose and discuss why ancient Egyptians wanted to be buried with them.

The Kelsey Museum's Virtual Saturday Sampler tours are a great way to explore the ancient world from the comfort of your home.

Flash Talk | An Example of Mobility: The Epigraphic Record of Migration from Hadrumetum to Lambaesis (September 9, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96630 96630-21792956@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 9, 2022 12:00pm

Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

The work of Jean-Marie Lassère in Roman North Africa has provided a foundation for understanding where and when people were moving across the region in the 1st–3rd centuries CE using several hundred epigraphic examples. In this talk, I closely examine one case of four inscriptions from Lambaesis where people claimed to be from Hadrumetum and integrate them into an understanding of the road system of the area to demonstrate not just where people were moving, but how they were moving across the landscape. This one case study sets the foundation for a wider study of the epigraphic record and the road system across Roman North Africa that fits into more modern trends of mobility and migration studies.

Kelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators, staff members, researchers, and graduate students talking about their recent research or current projects. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors. They take place at noon on the first Friday of every month.

The Kelsey Museum's Virtual Saturday Sampler tours are a great way to explore the ancient world from the comfort of your home.

The theme of this week's tour is "Animals in the Kelsey."
Animals abound in the art and artifacts of the ancient Middle East, Greece, Egypt, and Rome. On this guided tour, learn more about different aspects of animals in antiquity. We'll take a look at animal-themed artifacts in the Kelsey and ask: Was that animal food? A laborer? A pet? A sacrificial victim? We'll also discuss what kinds of animals were symbols of power and strength, and the meanings different animals had in the ancient world.

Explainability Is Not the Solution to Structural Challenges to AI in Medicine

Explainability is often treated as a necessary condition for ethical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in Medicine. In this brief talk I survey some of the structural challenges facing the development and deployment of effective AI systems in health care to illustrate some of the limitations to explainability in addressing these challenges. This talk builds on prior work (London 2019, 2022) to illustrate how ambitions for AI in health care likely require significant changes to key aspects of health systems.

Melissa McCradden, PhD, MHSc

On the Inextricability of Explainability from Ethics: Explainable AI does not Ethical AI Make

Explainability is embedded into a plethora of legal, professional, and regulatory guidelines as it is often presumed that an ethical use of AI will require explainable algorithms. There is considerable controversy, however, as to whether post hoc explanations are computationally reliable, their value for decision-making, and the relational implications of their use in shared decision-making. This talk will explore the literature across these domains and argue that while post hoc explainability may be a reasonable technical goal, it should not be offered status as a moral standard by which AI use is judged to be ‘ethical.’

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

This talk commences by introducing the audience to a master sculptor working around the year 1000, whose inspiration may well have been child-saint Sambandar’s opening hymn that hails Shiva as “the thief who stole my heart.” Dehejia then moves beyond the sensuous to ask questions of this material that have not been asked before, treating the bronzes as material objects that interacted in meaningful ways with human activities, and with socioeconomic and religious practices. Where did the Cholas acquire the copper required to cast the many temple bronzes that are solid and heavy pieces of metal? Why were the Cholas obsessed with island Sri Lanka? What were the circumstances that permitted the creation of so many temples and such large numbers of exquisite bronzes despite the constant warfare that the Chola monarchs undertook to retain and expand their empire? What was the source of the pearls and coral, rubies and diamonds, that were embedded in gold jewelry gifted to adorn every temple’s sacred bronzes? Why did the Cholas cover the walls of their temples walls with inscriptions – over 12,000 in total – that cast intriguing light on society of the time?

Vidya Dehejia is Barbara Stoler Miller Professor Emerita of Indian Art at Columbia University in New York, and author of over 20 books on the history of Indian art, in which she connects the visual and literary arts in meaningful ways. She has also served as Deputy Director and Chief Curator of the Freer & Sackler Galleries of the Smithsonian in Washington DC. Her latest study, released by Princeton University Press is titled The Thief Who Stole my Heart: The Material Life of Sacred Bronzes from Chola India, 855-1280. In 2012, the President of India awarded her a Padma Bhushan for “Outstanding Contribution to Art & Education.”

Speaker:

Kadija Ferryman, PhD
Assistant Professor
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

In this talk, Professor Ferryman will discuss the merits and challenges of conducting health equity reviews of artificial intelligence (AI) tools used in health and medicine. The talk will examine how interdisciplinary approaches from the social sciences, bioethics and humanities, and computational fields can be involved in the development of concepts, methods, frameworks, and guidelines for understanding and governing digital health tools.

Dr. Kadija Ferryman is a cultural anthropologist who studies the social, cultural, and ethical implications of health information technologies. Specifically, her research examines how genomics, digital medical records, artificial intelligence, and other technologies impact racial disparities in health. As a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Data & Society Research Institute in New York, she led the Fairness in Precision Medicine research study, which examines the potential for bias and discrimination in predictive precision medicine.

She earned a BA in Anthropology from Yale University, and a PhD in Anthropology from The New School for Social Research. Before completing her PhD, she was a policy researcher at the Urban Institute where she studied how housing and neighborhoods impact well-being, specifically the effects of public housing redevelopment on children, families, and older adults.

An Introduction to South Korean Salvage Archaeology: An Early Silla Cemetery Site, Chadang-ri (November 11, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/101129 101129-21800852@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 11, 2022 12:00pm

Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

Located in Yeongcheon, the southeast region of the Korean peninsula, the Chadang-ri site is an early Silla cemetery (ca. 450-500 CE). This project has been ongoing since May (2022) and conducted by the cultural resource management (CRM) firm, Daehan Institute of Cultural Properties. This site is approximately 4,606 square meters, and around 40 tombs have been identified. The tombs of early Silla consist of many styles, such as 1) wooden chamber tomb, 2) wooden chamber tomb with a stone mound, 3) stone-lined tomb, and 4) stone chamber tomb. Those buried in these tombs are hypothesized to be high-status individuals based on the evidence of high-quality burial goods such as gold earrings and protection stones. With the high density of tombs and the various tomb styles, this site has been incredibly useful in understanding early Silla tomb culture within the outskirts of the kingdom. Chadang-ri site is one of many salvage excavation projects conducted in South Korea. Therefore, to understand South Korea’s archaeological data better, it is necessary to understand the context in which the project was started and the goals of each stakeholder. This presentation will share the contents of the Chadang-ri site from excavations from May until August and explain the process of South Korean salvage archaeology.

Matt-painted pottery from Salento (southeast Italy) has many particular traits, especially from the 8th century BCE onward, that has in the past led to hypotheses that local potters were influenced by non-local objects and people to produce vessels in new shapes and make use of new motifs. In this talk, I discuss the methods that can be used to evaluate the production methods used by ancient potters to determine the presence or absence of interaction between different communities of practice. The case study presented here considers pottery from Taranto, Italy and the area around Korçë, Albania.

The study of coastal and lowland landscapes is a challenge for archaeology, as the high geomorphological dynamicity of such ecosystems often limits archaeological research in these areas. The Ravenna Landscape Project systematically investigates the hinterland of Ravenna (northern Italy), a major Roman and Medieval city that developed over time in a complex, marginal landscape. The project presented here aims to offer a way forward to overcome the limits represented by complex geomorphological dynamics and introduce new approaches to studying the local landscape. The lecture will consider the latest results of the project, focusing in particular on the methodologies applied as well as the main goals achieved.

Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

This lecture will be presented by Dr. Josipa Mandić and Dr. Cesare Vita, who will deliver a public lecture about their research on pre-Roman funerary archaeology. By presenting the cemeteries of Buccino and San Brancato, two sites of the ancient region of Lucania (modern Basilicata) in central southern Italy, they will analyze changes in indigenous and Lucanian burial practices and grave goods between the 7th and 3rd centuries BCE.

Animals abound in the art and artifacts of the ancient Middle East, Greece, Egypt, and Rome. On this guided tour, learn more about different aspects of animals in antiquity. We'll take a look at animal-themed artifacts in the Kelsey and ask: Was that animal food? A laborer? A pet? A sacrificial victim? We'll also discuss what kinds of animals were symbols of power and strength, and the meanings different animals had in the ancient world.

Masks are optional inside the Kelsey. For more information about our COVID procedures and how to prepare for your visit, please visit our website, https://myumi.ch/9PG1P.

The Kelsey Museum has many fascinating tiny artifacts: amulets, coins, figurines, and seals. But those tiny artifacts are hard to see in person and are virtually impossible to include in in-person tours. In this virtual tour we will get up close to just some of the tiny artifacts at the Kelsey Museum from ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Persia, and consider how they were used and what they reveal about the people of the ancient world.

Investigating Mobile Forager Cultural Adaptations in Central Western Patagonia, Chile (February 3, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104214 104214-21808656@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 3, 2023 12:00pm

Central West Patagonia is an area characterized by climatic and landscape contrasts, with a variety of ecotones within a defined area. This region is naturally divided into different river valleys, separated by steep mountains and icecaps. One such valley, the Ibáñez River Valley (IRV),, has been investigated archaeologically since the early 1970s. The IRV contains dozens of sites dating from the Early to Late Holocene featuring residential occupations as well as rock art. However, even with this history of research and robust signature of human behavior, little systematic archaeological survey has been conducted in the IRV due to numerous factors (difficulty of terrain, etc.). In this presentation, I show the results of preliminary research to synthesize findings from already-collected archaeological materials from the Rio Ibanez with new pedestrian survey from the southern extent of the valley. Further, in this presentation I engage with a variety of theoretical themes applicable to this unique cultural and environmental landscape and indicate profitable areas for future research.

This talk presents two collaborative and multidisciplinary research projects, one set in the Southern Peruvian Andes and the other in Northern Texas, each informed by Black feminist and decolonizing practice. Both projects attend to marginalized histories through colonial and postcolonial contexts, incorporating descendant communities and local stakeholders into the fabric of the research design. In the Andes, the Proyecto Arqueológico del Valle de Andagua studies social life in the Valley of Volcanoes, a place known for one of the latest cases of mummy worshipping in the Andes with ancestor veneration as a locus of resistance to the Spanish colonial state in the mid-eighteenth century. Today, residents identify the contemporary Peruvian State as the sharpest era of subjugation, noting the contradictions of the postcolonial state. In Denton County, Texas, as part of a road improvement project, the Texas Department of Transportation is supporting the Bolivar Archaeological Project in its investigation of a nineteenth-century blacksmith shop and neighboring hotel. The blacksmith shop belonged to Tom Cook, an African American Freedman, whose descendants became active participants in the project. These projects recognize history is an active process, demonstrating how collaborative projects and the process of co-laboring can co-produce knowledge and realize inclusive histories.

Constructing Translocal Identities in Neolithic Northwestern China: Insights from Ceramic Analysis (February 17, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104901 104901-21810425@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 17, 2023 12:00pm

Over the last century archaeologists have investigated late Neolithic and Bronze Age interaction networks spanning Eurasia, which in the east connected steppe pastoralists with farming communities in what is now northwestern China. While much attention has focused on the adoption and impact of technologies and domesticates from western Asia in eastern Asia, few models have been put forth to explain how and why these networks formed and functioned. What research has been done on this topic has generally focused on analysis of ceramics and metal objects to suggest long-distance movement of commodities between broad geographic regions. Here I suggest that to understand long-distance interactions, we first need to understand the movements of people and goods at the site-specific level, which I theorize using the concept of translocality. This talk will draw on recent petrographic analysis of ceramic vessels from the Tao River Valley of Gansu Province as well as collections from across northwestern China in the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities in Stockholm, Sweden. My results demonstrate that localized interaction was occurring on a regular basis among settlements in the Tao River Valley, and was likely a key aspect of identity formation across a much wider region.

It may seem obvious that ancient cultures living along the Mediterranean, would rely heavily on the sea, not only as a means of travel but as a plentiful food source. The fishing industry was especially valuable in trade for other commodities such as grains and olive oil.

The importance of fish to the ancient world is found in many subtle (and small) ways across many of the Mediterranean cultures represented at the Kelsey. Join us to learn about the fishing industry, as we view some "fishy" decorations.

The book this month is Cleo and Cornelius. Adventurous Cleo and couch potato Cornelius live in ancient Egypt, where cats are worshiped like gods and goddesses. After Cornelius accidentally boards a boat departing on a voyage across the sea, Cleo and Cornelius find themselves in the faraway city of Rome, a place where dogs are treated like kings. In Rome, the activities never end! Cleo and Cornelius race chariots, play games, perform in a theater, and more. Do they even want to return to Egypt? A spin on Aesop’s classic fable “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse,” Cleo and Cornelius is teeming with hungry hippos, toga-clad dogs, and dancing cat mummies, bringing new excitement to a timeless tale.

The history of human-animal relations has become an important sub-field within the broader field of environmental history; environmental history in turn has become one of the most important fields within historical investigation today. Histories and travelogues on the Mongol empire mention a number of animals that are either unusual in themselves or found clustered in unusual human-animal contexts. Study of these animals and their contexts thus sheds useful light on the human-animal relations of the Mongol empire.

Biomolecular analyses (proteins, stable isotopes, lipids, and DNA) have been integral in identifying the economic roles of domesticated animals in archaeological contexts. While analyses such as lipids, isotopes, and DNA are well-established, recently developed protein analysis offers new insights. The combination of species- and tissue-specific information provided by amino acid sequences have been critical in clarifying which animals, or animal products, were consumed by archaeological populations. While protein analysis offers new lines of evidence, working with ancient materials requires specific laboratory and data analysis protocols in order to authenticate the age and reliability of the results. Recently, this this method has been used to illuminate the spread of milk use on the Bronze Age Eurasian steppe and beyond. Through recently produced protein data, we can see that use of ruminant milk enabled long-distance Yamnaya migrations across arid steppic environments, and specifically, how milking practices traveled in tandem with expanding populations from the western Pontic-Caspian region to the far Eastern Steppe of Mongolia.

A Preliminary Report on the Medieval Roman Kastra of Kalymnos, Greece (March 10, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105810 105810-21812992@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 10, 2023 12:00pm

The Aegean island of Kalymnos, part of the Dodecanese Archipelago, has long sat at the crossroads of nations and empires. The ruggedness of its terrain belies its prosperity, and, during the regionally destructive transition from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages, Kalymnians distinguish themselves from their neighbors by the construction of fortifications, in contrast to other islanders’ flight and dispersal. Reporting on a preliminary season of site visits and GIS recording, I place Kalymnos within the context of debates on settlement, conflict, and economy in the tumultuous seventh century A.D. From recalibrations of previous GIS calculations to the ‘discovery’ of entirely undocumented ancient settlements, this presentation represents the transition from unwilling armchair archaeology to the long-awaited field-testing of myriad half-blind hypotheses against the truth of the ground, and the knowledge of local experts.

How to build a city in the steppes: The transient phenomenon of urbanism on the Mongolian Plateau during the Mongol World Empire (March 17, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/106106 106106-21813759@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 17, 2023 12:00pm
Location: School of Education
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

The study of urbanism in the Mongolian steppes sounds like a paradox, since the image of the marauding nomad living in tents still prevails. And yet Mongolia, with well over 200 abandoned settlement sites with permanent architecture, residences, fortifications and ramparts, as well as hundreds of Buddhist monasteries, offers enormous potential for the study of cities and settlement networks. The ancient sites of this region survived relatively unscathed by modern urbanization and farming activities and form an untapped source of information and an incredibly rich archive for the study of urbanism in the steppes. Astonishingly, international scholarship has afforded little attention to them. This talk will focus on the only two cities from the time of the Mongol Empire (13th and 14th century CE) on the Mongolian plateau: Karakorum, the capital in the Orkhon Valley, and Khar Khul Khaany Balgas, a city with a similar layout in the Khanui Valley. A closer look into systems of craft production and acquisition of a working force will reveal how the Mongol Khans were able to build these cities within a relatively short span of time and within a region without a continued history of urbanism.

Over the course of two decades, Galaty and colleagues have conducted systematic intensive surveys, site collections, and test excavations across northern Albania and western Kosova. Projects in Shkoder close to the sea, in Shala in the high mountains, and in Peja and Istog on the Dukagjin Plain shed new light on local archaeological records, from prehistory to the present, and on inter-regional interactions. This presentation will review and compare the results of all three research projects, in particular in terms of shifting settlement patterns, and with a focus on changes in social organization, from the Neolithic through the Iron Age.

Communities, Rural Economies, and Diet in Bronze Age and Iron Age Greece (March 23, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105610 105610-21812264@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 23, 2023 4:00pm

Organized By: Classical Studies

Traditional accounts of the transition from Bronze Age to Iron Age in Greece identified a considerable drop in population after the demise of the palaces (around 1200/1150 BCE) followed, it was argued, by less arable farming, which led to a 'pastoral economy' in the early Iron Age. This picture was believed to be supported by the high value placed on livestock and near-eating in Homeric epic. While this view has recently changed among specialists, many outdated elements remain embedded in current scholarship. Debates over climate change's role in the disruptions that took place at this time also sometimes reflect these old, inaccurate narratives.

This lecture deploys archaeobotanical evidence and stable isotope analysis to demonstrate that in the Greek Iron Age, people continued to depend on plant-based diets supplemented by some meat and dairy. Although, expectably, there is considerable regional variation, relatively small-scale mixed farming agrarian regimes predominated during the Iron Age. It is evident that people in the Iron Age did not adopt pastoral lifestyles, keep more animals, or increase meat consumption. Instead, the data demonstrate the longevity of 'the Mediterranean diet' in its many variations and reveals some of the values people had over the long term attached to food.

Hunter-gatherer archaeological sites are virtually unknown from the Peruvian eastern Andes, the cloud-shrouded slopes which form the intersection of the Andean puna and Amazonian rainforest. Yet these landscapes have long been recognized as key to understanding topics from the human colonization of South America through the development of the central Andes' distinct agricultural complex. In this talk, doctoral candidate Lauren Pratt will present preliminary results from her dissertation field season in Chachapoyas, a region of the eastern Andes of northern Peru. In 2022-23, she and her team conducted test excavations at six caves and rockshelters in the Leymebamba and Uchucmarca valleys, identifying archaeological remains spanning from the Pre-Ceramic through the Late Intermediate Period. Results from these sites tell a previously unknown story of deep history in the Eastern Andes.

This work presents previously unknown rock art along the Blue Nile, on the walls of the Buahit Serit gorge in Northwestern Ethiopia. Although Ethiopia has the largest number of rock art sites in the Horn of Africa, Buahit Serit is the first documented rock art site in Northwestern Ethiopia. The rock paintings display hunting, herding, and geometric representations, based on a comparison of the motifs and painting style, the site dated relative to the late Holocene (1000 BCE–1000 CE). Further interpretation introduces the idea that some geometric designs may represent stylized headdresses, suggesting cultural continuity with living pastoralists. Complementary survey in this region indicates a potential settlement, burial site, iron slags, and lithic concentrations. Unfortunately, today the Buahit Serit rock paintings, like many Ethiopian rock art sites, are endangered due to anthropogenic and natural causes.

Since the Great Depression, the major river valleys of southern Appalachia have seen explosive population growth and economic development, and the region is now synonymous with hydro-electric dams, coal-fired power plants, agriculture, and now eco-tourism, retirement communities, and revitalized, trendy cities. However, like many regions of North America, there is growing concern about the impact of climate change, and in particular costly disasters caused by floods, forest fires, and droughts. Using theory derived from historical ecology and the sociology of disasters, I argue that people are not passive actors in this narrative, and that a review of the rich archaeological record of the region illustrates that the growth machine of capitalism has created self-destructive zones where disasters don’t just happen, they should be expected.

Join us for our “Read and Look” program in the museum galleries on select Saturdays. We will take over a corner of the museum to read the book “Greece! Rome! Monsters!” by John Harris, then find related artifacts and art on display. This tour is great for our younger visitors, ages 4–8. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Everybody’s heard of a centaur, but not everyone has seen a blue centaur dressed to head out to a disco! He’s one of the updated mythological creatures who populate “Greece! Rome! Monsters!”. This book presents twenty creepy creatures—from harpies to Medusa herself to the fire-breathing Chimera—in jazzy retellings by John Harris, with eye-popping illustrations by Southern California illustrator Calef Brown. Together, the words and pictures provide children (and grownups!) with close encounters of the mythological kind.

The Kelsey Museum’s Virtual Saturday Sampler tours are a great way to explore the ancient world from the comfort of your home. The theme of this week’s tour is “Animals of the Kelsey Museum.” Animals abound in the art and artifacts of the ancient Middle East, Greece, Egypt, and Rome. On this guided virtual tour, learn more about different aspects of animals in antiquity. We’ll take a look at animal-themed artifacts in the Kelsey and ask, “Was that animal food? A laborer? A pet? A sacrificial victim?” We’ll also discuss what kinds of animals were symbols of power and strength, as well as the meanings different animals had in the ancient world.
