SUMMARY:Virtual Pizza Talk: Reconstructing the Lives of Ancient Panamanians through Isotope Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Ashley SharpeStaff scientist and archaeologist Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in PanamaRegister hereIn recent years\, multi-isotope analyses have become an increasingly popular method for examining the lives of past humans. Isotope studies can examine questions regarding the diets\, health\, and movements of people in the past. In combination with osteological\, genetic\, and archaeological data\, we can begin to reconstruct the histories of both individuals and entire communities. This study presents results of an ongoing multi-isotope investigation of pre-Colombian humans in Panama\, and compares these results with other isotope studies elsewhere in the Americas. The results illustrate the complex nature of human activities\, and the value of incorporating multiple lines of social and ecological evidence to draw interpretations. New and developing methods in isotope research are also explored.Ashley Sharpe is a staff scientist and archaeologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama\, where she has worked since 2017. Her research examines human and environmental (particularly animal) interactions in the past\, including how humans adapted to different environments over time\, and what effects they had on the landscape. She has worked as an archaeologist and faunal analyst on projects throughout Central America\, including Ceibal\, San Bartolo-Xultun\, and Kaminaljuyu in Guatemala\, Aguada Fénix in Mexico\, Selin Farm in Honduras\, and most recently projects in Panama. She obtained a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Florida in 2016.

SUMMARY:Ritualized Stone and Public Art on Easter Island Highlights and Insights of Recent Excavations in Statue Quarry
DESCRIPTION:Jo Anne Van TilburgDirector\, Easter Island Statue ProjectRock Art Archive\, UCLA Cotsen InstituteRegister hereAn international\, multidisciplinary team directed by Jo Anne Van Tilburg conducted a major archeological survey of monolithic sculpture on Rapa Nui (Easter Island). Beginning in 2002\, the team mapped the inner basin of Rano Raraku\, the island’s famed statue quarry. This was followed in 2010 by excavations of four statues in the inner basin. This presentation summarizes highlights of the excavations and their resulting insights into the past. It examines the role of sanctity as expressed in ritualized stone and describes the interactive forces key to the actualization of community expressed as megalithic public art.Dr. Jo Anne Van Tilburg is an archaeologist and the Director of the Easter Island Statue Project\, an archaeological inventory and database project that has produced a stylistic analysis of nearly 900 monolithic statues (moai).  Her research interest addresses the integration of symbolism and structure and the complex ways in which humans employ cultural resources\, social practices\, and ancient aesthetics to relate to and alter\, shape\, and impact the natural landscape. Social processes and the interactive roles of art\, history\, and ecology are explored in on-going field and museum studies.  Her most recent field project is the digital mapping of the interior of Rano Raraku Statue Quarry\, Easter Island. Van Tilburg is an appointed member of the National Landmarks Committee\, US National Park Service Advisory Board; a Research Associate of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA\, where she directs the UCLA Rock Art Archive; recipient of the 2001 California Governor’s Award for Historic Preservation\, and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.

SUMMARY:Authorship and Ownership\, a Conversation Between Glenn Wharton and Artist Andrea Geyer
DESCRIPTION:Glenn Wharton\, Andrea GeyerFriday April 23rd\, 11:00am – 12:00pm (PT)Register hereUCLA/Getty Conservation Program Chair Glenn Wharton will interview artist Andrea Geyer about the conservation and display of 9 Scripts for a Nation at War\, a work that was acquired by MoMA when Wharton served as the museum’s Media Conservator. Geyer is a German born multi-disciplinary artist who lives in New York City. Her work focuses on themes of gender\, class\, and national identity. 9 Scriptsis a ten-channel\, co-authored video installation that includes interviews about the U.S. invasion of Iraq\, and touches on themes of identity in times of conflict. Andrea Geyer is a multi-disciplinary artist un-sensing the construction and politics of time. Her works use performance and video to activate the lingering potential of specific events\, places\, or biographies as lived in woman identified bodies. She materializes the entanglement of presence and absence of such bodies due to ideologically motivated omissions in archives and memories. Exhibitions include: Museum of Modern Art\, the Whitney Museum of American Art\, in New York; IMMA in Dublin; TATE Modern in London; Generali Foundation\, Secession in Vienna; Witte De White in Rotterdam; Sao Paulo Biennal and documenta12/ Kassel. She is represented by Hales Gallery in London/New York\, Galerie Thomas Zander in Cologne. She lives and works in New York. www.andreageyer.info

SUMMARY:Virtual Pizza Talk: Mestizo Aesthetics: Image and Appropriation in the Colonial Southwest\, 1600-1900 CE
DESCRIPTION:Severin FowlesAssociate Professor of Anthropology and Chair of the American Studies DepartmentBarnard College\, Columbia UniversityRegister hereThe European invasion of the Americas unleashed a period of heightened global exchange as technologies\, religions\, political structures\, foodways\, languages\, diseases\, mineral resources\, labor and more began to circulate with unprecedented velocity and scale. For the colonized\, many of these cultural movements happened forcibly\, at the tip of a spear\, but there were also moments of Indigenous appropriation and creative reinvention of European traditions. This was particularly true with respect to image production and modes of graphic representation\, as Indigenous communities sought out new visual cultures to assist them in understanding and intervening in colonial worlds. In this presentation\, I consider what might be called the mestizo aesthetics that arose within colonial New Mexico following the arrival of Spanish settlers in 1598. Theoretically\, my focus is on the power of images as technologies of action and intercession\, no less than of representation. Historically\, I pay special attention to image production among the Indigenous communities referred to by the Spanish as “barbarians”—groups like the Apache and Comanche who were themselves the fast-moving\, intercultural choreographers of social life at the edge of empire.Severin Fowles is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Chair of the American Studies Department at Barnard College\, Columbia University. For the past 25 years he has directed excavations and surveys in northern New Mexico\, examining the history of Archaic hunter-gatherers through to the hippies of the 1960s. He is the author ofAn Archaeology of Doings: Secularism and the Study of Pueblo Religion(SAR) and co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Southwest Archaeology(Oxford University Press). His current research has been designed in collaboration with Picuris Pueblo and is focused on the tribe’s ancestral landscapes and farming practices.
