SUMMARY:Wednesday Talks: Collaborative Forensic Archaeology in the Battle of the Bulge; Recent Fieldwork in Eastern Belgium
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: During August of 2022 a collaborative archaeological team led by Stephen Acabado (UCLA) and Kevin DiModica (University of Namur) conducted forensic archaeological investigations at a US WW2 aircraft crash site in eastern Belgium.  The purpose of the project was to recover material evidence pertaining to a still missing member of the US aircrew.  We discuss the organization of the project\, collaboration with our Belgian counterparts and the DPAA\, the field methods employed and the results of our field work.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Talk: 2022 Fieldwork in Bocas del Toro\, Panama
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: For at least 2\,000 years before Spanish arrival in 1502\, the province of Bocas del Toro\, Panama\, sustained numerous vibrant cultures. However\, little archaeological research has been done in this area. For decades\, this area has been considered a ‘cultural backwater’ with only simple\, small-scale settlements. Dr. Tom Wake’s excavations at Sitio Abuelitas and Sitio Drago on Isla Colon\, the largest island in Bocas del Toro\, have altered this picture as burials\, house mounds\, and artifacts from across Central America have been found. Carly Pope’s research focuses on the ceramics from these sites\, including locally-made wares as well as foreign imports\, and the potential they hold to elucidate both interregional systems of cultural interaction and community-level organization. From July to December 2022\, examinations focused on collecting frequency data\, selecting samples\, and preparing for future research.Bio: Carly Pope was born and raised in Atlanta\, GA. She earned her BA in art and archaeology from Princeton University in 2016 and her senior thesis focused on the emergence of early pottery in different parts of Latin America. She continued her education at the University College London\, where she obtained a MA in archaeology. For her master’s thesis she analyzed pottery used in salt processing by the Maya of coastal Belize. While her research focuses on Central America\, Carly has also excavated at a Roman port in Thrace\, Greece; a Basketmaker II site in Cortez\, Colorado; a Medieval pilgrims’ cemetery in the Basque area of Spain; a Middle Kingdom amethyst mine near Aswan\, Egypt; and a Maya town site in Yucatan\, Mexico. She has presented at a variety of academic and professional conferences\, including the International Congress on the Anthropology of Salt and the Society for American Archaeology annual meeting.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Talk: A New Model for the City of Selinous (Sicily): Stories from a Current Field-Project
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The city of Selinous\, on the southern coast of Sicily\, was founded by Greek settlers at the end of the 7th century BCE. After being destroyed by the Carthaginians at the end of the fifth century BCE it was used as a fortress and subsequently rebuilt as a civil settlement with distinct material characteristics known from the Punic sphere of influence. During the first Punic war it was abandoned and never extensively reoccupied. For this reason\, the city of the Greek period is still largely preserved and well protected in one of the biggest archaeological parks of Europe. Its monumental sacred and public spaces are widely known\, yet\, many questions remain concerning not only the various transformations of the area after the catastrophic event of 409 BCE\, but also the specific development and use of the urban space from the 7th century onwards. Bio: Dr. Melanie Jonasch is a Classical archaeologist and research associate at the German Archaeological Institute in Rome and Berlin. Since 2021 she has coordinated a multidisciplinary field- project in Selinous (Sicily) and is responsible for the archaeological excavations conducted in this framework. She will be a fellow of the AIA at the Cotsen-Institute of Archaeology until April where she will begin work on a new project about population aggregation and the development of secondary settlements in the neighborhood of the emerging Greek colonies.
