SUMMARY:Mireille Lee “The Archaeology of Ancient Greek Dress”
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Society of the Archaeological Institute of America and The UCSC Archaeological Research Center present: \nArchaeology provides important evidence for ancient Greek dress\, which was essential to the construction of social identities. Although no complete garments survive\, preserved fragments of silk and embroideries indicate the elite status of the wearer. Jewelry\, dress fasteners\, toilet implements\, perfume vessels\, cosmetics\, and mirrors are also important indicators of status and gender. The visual sources\, including sculpture and vase-painting\, depict men and women performing various dress practices. Although some practices\, such as bathing and the use of perfumes\, are common to both genders\, others are specific to either men or women. The visual sources demonstrate other aspects of identity: age and social role are often indicated by hairstyle\, whereas ethnicity is also conveyed by means of garments and body-modifications. Although dress is often considered a mundane aspect of culture\, Professor Lee argues that dress provides unique insight into ancient Greek ideologies. \nRefreshments at 4:30 and reception to follow the lecture \nFree parking for lecture in the lower Cowell parking lot \nMireille Lee is Assistant Professor with the Departments of History of Art and Classical Studies at Vanderbilt University\, and holds her degrees from Bryn Mawr (Ph.D.) and Occidental College. Her research interests include Greek art and archaeology\, in particular the construction of gender in ancient visual and material culture. She has published widely on the social functions of dress in ancient Greece\, including her volume Body\, Dress\, and Identity in Ancient Greece (Cambridge University Press\, 2015). Her current research focuses on ancient Greek mirrors as social objects. \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Modeling Culture: 3D Archaeology and the Future of the Past
DESCRIPTION:Organizers:\nElaine Sullivan\, UC Santa Cruz\nJ. Cameron Monroe\, UC Santa Cruz\n  \nConference Theme:\nThe past decade has witnessed a dramatic surge in the availability and use of digital technologies in Archaeology\, where the increasing power and declining cost of computing technology has transformed the way we think about collecting\, analyzing\, and presenting archaeological data. While many technologies have been adopted and adapted into the field\, the potential for 3D modeling is still being explored. This conference asks leading innovators in the use of 3D research methods to present and evaluate the impact and future of this new technology on the study of the past. \nSpeakers:\nMichael Ashley\, Center for Digital Archaeology\nEdward González-Tennant\, Digital Heritage Interactive\nSusan Kuzminsky\, UC Santa Cruz\nNicola Lercari\, UC Merced\nTom Levy\, UC San Diego\nBernard K. Means\, Virginia Commonwealth University\nRachel Opitz\, Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies\nJohn Rick\, Stanford University\nElaine Sullivan\, UC Santa Cruz\nWilleke Wendrich\, UC Los Angeles \nKeynote Address by Ruth Tringham\, UC Berkeley\n  \nAdmission is FREE and open to the public. Advance registration is required: Register for the Conference\n  \nCall For Digital Presentations:\nIn addition to the above speakers\, we invite submissions for a small number of digital presentations focusing on methodological issues in 3D archaeology. These presentations will be presented in a digital “poster-session” in which presenters will use a devoted widescreen LCD. As such\, we discourage traditional powerpoint presentations or simple posters\, but rather encourage presentations that will make maximum use of the flexibility afforded by a digital presentation mode. We particularly encourage submissions from graduate students\, and small travel stipend is available to defray costs for graduate student presenters. To ensure full consideration\, abstracts should be submitted online by February 19th using the link below. \nSubmit an Abstract for the Digital Poster Session

SUMMARY:Professor Thomas Stoellner Ruhr-University Bochum The Beginnings of Social Inequality: The World’s Earliest Gold Mine
DESCRIPTION:The rise of social inequality in early societies has been a matter of long-standing debate in archaeology. Often archaeologists explicitly focus on long-distance networks and the accumulation of wealth as driving factors\, and the consumption of precious metals plays a prominent role in this discussion. However\, seldom are the interwoven roles of producers and the complexity of production considered. Simplified models tend to strengthen notions of dependency and dichotomy between ruling elites and a laboring class. Yet mining as a social practice is more complicated and might have been founded on degrees of social complexity from the very beginning. In this lecture\, the example of gold mining in the Caucasus in the 4th millennium BC will be introduced\, drawing on empirical data\, experimental archaeology and the economic complexity of mining. Gold mining such as in Sakdrisi\, in particular\, raises important questions about whether the use of hard labor in the production of a highly desired material resulted in its own societal dynamics. \nProf. Dr. Thomas Stoellner is Chair of Prehistoric Archaeology at the Ruhr-University Bochum and Head of the Research Department of the German Mining Museum. He has directed excavations and research projects in Austria\, Germany\, Hungary\, Iran\, Kazakhstan\, Georgia\, and Peru. Prof. Stoellner is a leading expert in mining archaeology whose research has broadly contributed to our understanding of prehistoric metallurgy and technology\, and the prehistoric economy. \nFor more information\, please contact hedrick@ucsc.edu \nEvent Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.
