SUMMARY:Sturt Manning: "Tree-Rings and Radiocarbon in the East Mediterranean and Near East"
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Society of the Archaeological Institute of America Presents: \n  \nProfessor Sturt Manning \nDepartment of Classics\, Cornell University \n  \nTree-Rings and Radiocarbon in the East Mediterranean and Near East: Creating an Independent\, Robust and Precise Timeframe for Archaeology and History \nProfessor Manning will discuss his efforts to combine radiocarbon (C14) and dendrochronology (tree-ring dating) to rewrite the chronologies of the civilizations of the Bronze and Early Iron Age eastern Mediterranean. His original and fundamental work has forced a reassessment of some of the linchpin events of this period\, including the famous eruption of the Santorini volcano (which some scholars had linked to the end of the Minoan civilization) and the chronology of Mesopotamia. \n  \nSturt Manning is Goldwin Smith Professor of Classical Archaeology in the Department of Classics at Cornell University and Director of the Cornell Tree Ring Laboratory. He is internationally known for his work in archaeological science\, above all in dendrochronology and radiocarbon chronology. He has published many articles and books\, including A Test of Time: The Volcano of Thera and the Chronology and History of the Aegean and East Mediterranean in the mid Second Millennium BC (second edition 2014). \n  \nOpen to the public. Refreshments will be at 4:30 p.m. and a reception will follow the lecture. \n  \nFor more information on the lecture\, please contact hedrick@ucsc.edu

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.
