Society Sunday 2025-Iyaxel Cojtí Ren, Communal Government & Forms of Dependency in the K'iche' State
By: ArchaeologyTV. Published: 03/10/2025

Society Sunday 2025 - March 9, 2025 Find your local AIA Society and see what they're up to: https://www.archaeological.org/programs/societies/find/ Join us as the AIA Societies Committee presents a virtual presentation and Q&A with Iyaxel Cojtí Ren presenting “Communal Government and Forms of Dependency in the K'iche' State” This presentation was be given live at 1pm Eastern on March 9, 2025. In the Maya highlands during the Late Postclassic period (1250-1524 CE), the K'iche' created an expansive state able to subdue various nations and form a network of dependent polities. Join archaeologist Iyaxel Cojtí Ren as she explains how the key to this lies in the K'iche' forms of local community organization and how they were integrated into the larger K'iche' political unit. Learn about the most common forms of community organization: chinamit and amaq'. Their members practiced communal solidarity and forms of communal government, which were vital for reproduction, problem-solving, and territorial defense. The K'iche' state’s strength resulted from incorporating these communities, chinamit and amaq', and adopting some of their values and forms of government. For example, in the Colonial-period K'iche' texts, the term tzuq “to sustain, to feed” appears frequently to describe the relationship of mutual dependence that existed between rulers and K’iche’ communities. This means that the rulers also had obligations to take care of the population under their authority. And while reciprocity between rulers and those they ruled was far from equal, the communal form of government employed by the K'iche' allowed representatives of the people to exert sufficient influence to prevent oppressive rulers and defend the people’s interests.


AIA Archaeology Hour with Zainab Bahrani
By: ArchaeologyTV. Published: 02/28/2025

Join the AIA as Zainab Bahrani (Columbia University) presents Towards an Archaeology of Preservation. This lecture was given live at 8pm Eastern on February 26, 2025. Description: The history of archaeology as a scientific discipline has received a great deal of attention in recent years. As a result of extensive archival research and the reading of archives against the grain, alternative or indigenous archaeologies and earlier forms of relationships to the past—such as antiquarianism—have also begun to receive more serious scholarly attention. Since the 1990s, Zainab Bahrani’s scholarship has contributed to these historical directions in archaeology. She now augments archival and theoretical work with fieldwork, presenting some of the archaeological evidence of millennia of preservation and conservation practices in the landscape of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan. Bio: Zainab Bahrani is the Edith Porada Professor of Art History and Archaeology and Chair of the Department of Art History at Columbia University. She writes on ancient art and philosophical aesthetics, the history and politics of archaeology, collecting and the modernist and contemporary art and architecture of Iraq. She has also published widely on the destruction of historical heritage in war and occupation. Dr. Bahrani directs the Mapping Mesopotamian Monuments projects to document and conserve historical architecture and rock reliefs in Iraqi Kurdistan, northern Iraq, and southeastern Turkey. Since 2019 she has been the Director of the Bahdinan-Mosul Gate conservation project in Amadiya/Amedi in Iraqi Kurdistan. Dr. Bahrani is the author of several books including Women of Babylon: Gender and Representation in Mesopotamia (Routledge, 2001), The Graven Image: Representation in Babylonia and Assyria (University of Pennsylvania, 2003), Rituals of War (Zone/MIT, 2008) which won the American Historical Association Prize, and The Infinite Image: Art, Time and the Aesthetic Dimension in Antiquity (Reaktion/University of Chicago, 2014) which won the Lionel Trilling Prize, and Mesopotamia: Art and Architecture (Thames and Hudson, 2018). She is also editor and co-author of volumes written to accompany her co-curated exhibitions: Scramble for the Past: A Story of Archaeology in the Ottoman Empire 1753-1914 (Istanbul, 2011) and Modernism and Iraq (New York, 2009). Her new book is, War Essays, UCL Press, 2025. Distinctions include election to the Slade Professorship at Oxford, and awards form the Getty Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, a 2003 Guggenheim, and a 2019 Carnegie award.

AIA Archaeology Hour with Uzma Rizvi
By: ArchaeologyTV. Published: 01/23/2025

Join the AIA as Uzma Rizvi (Pratt Institute) presents Caring for MohenjoDaro Description: How do we understand care in the ancient world? This talk will focus on current archaeological research conducted in the city of MohenjoDaro (a World Heritage Site) located in contemporary Pakistan (Sindh Province). Archaeological excavations at MohenjoDaro document hundreds of dwelling-houses and large buildings built along streets and lanes oriented towards cardinal points, which index an architectural sophistication of a well-planned city. This talk will focus on the neighborhood of DK-G South, and look for indicators of care in the many ways the ancient inhabitants maintained their lived environment over generations. Bio: Uzma Z. Rizvi is Professor of Anthropology and Urban Studies at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY; and Visiting Faculty in the Department of Archaeology, Shah Abdul Latif University, Khairpur, Pakistan. Dr. Rizvi holds degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and Bryn Mawr College, and a postdoctoral fellowship from Stanford University.

She has published widely and has presented her work to many different audiences, both domestically and internationally. With nearly two decades of work on decolonizing methodologies, intersectional and feminist strategies, and transdisciplinary approaches, Dr. Rizvi’s work has intentionally pushed disciplinary limits, and demanded ethical decolonial praxis at all levels of engagement, from teaching to research.

AIA Archaeology Hour with Deborah Carlson
By: ArchaeologyTV. Published: 04/18/2024

Join the AIA for a fascinating evening as Deborah Carlson (Texas A&M) presents Excavating a Shipwrecked Marble Column Destined for the Temple of Apollo at Claros. This presentation was held live at 8pm Eastern/7pm Central/6pm Mountain/5pm Pacific on 4/17/24. Between 2005 and 2011, researchers from the Institute of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University excavated and raised the remains of an ancient ship that was wrecked off the Aegean coast of Turkey at Kızılburun in the first century B.C. This ship was transporting about 60 tons of white marble blocks and architectural elements that originated in the quarries on Proconnesus Island in the Sea of Marmara. Ceramic artifacts and coins help narrow the date of the shipwreck, but the pieces of a single monumental Doric column suggest that the ship was destined for one of the most important oracular sanctuaries in the ancient Mediterranean. Join underwater archaeologist Deborah Carlson as she lays out the evidence to solve this maritime mystery!

Season 11 Episode 6 Strata: Portraits of Humanity, March 2025 (Roman villa in Portugal) "The Villa of the Centaurs": Recent archaeological excavations at the site of a Roman villa on the Portuguese coast, near the town of Alcácer do Sal, have exposed a rather small area. Despite this, they have revealed a surprising degree of decoration and opulence. A floor mosaic depicting centaurs, unique in Portugal and rare in the Roman Empire, gives this villa its name. Although far from Rome, the villa demonstrates how Romanized the province of Lusitania was, and how much in tune it was with the iconography of the entire Empire. #heritage #strata #archaeology #archeology #anthropology #history #culturalheritage #strataportraitsofhumanity #culture #film #documentary

Archaeologist Géraldine Frère and master glassmakers employed experimental archaeology to reproduce the methods used by glassmakers 2,000 years ago. Specifically, the project set out to determine by whom, for whom, how, where, and when Roman glass was produced. To achieve this, the researchers put in place a multidisciplinary methodology: the Specularia experimental archaeology project is one of the many approaches developed to unravel the mysteries of this industry. #heritage #strata #archaeology #archeology #anthropology #history #culturalheritage #strataportraitsofhumanity #culture #film #documentary
