Public Lecture
Sophomore Seminar, Guest Lecture
Salisbury University

Join Doc to explore the critical foundations being laid by some of the most recent research into the Afro-Eurasian world, not just in Art History and Archaeology, but in a variety of disciplines. Although we may have begun by looking at images of monkeys and consulting scholars with the proper training to identify old world monkey and ape species, the following five years of scholarship has seen a veritable explosion in discoveries that support Pareja's team's conclusions about connections between the Indus and the Aegean, as well as connections even further abroad. Spend some time learning about how Mesopotamians were eating soy, ginger, turmeric, and bananas; how we can identify Egyptians who lived and died in Mesopotamia; how various species of Asian birds appear in the art of the Aegean islands; how carnelian beads made in the Indus River Valley have been found in eastern China and as far as the Greek Mainland. Doc wants to share her world with students, and she wants to hear about the ways students want to get involved in her world!
