Zoom into Archaeology: Bioarchaeology Climate Change and Resilience
Time: 3:30 pm til 4:30 pm
Location: Online; Central Time
Description: Join us for the next installment of FPAN’s “Zoom into Archaeology” series: “The Bioarchaeology Climate Change and Resilience in Bronze Age Arabia” by by University of South Alabama Associate Professor Dr. Lesley Gregoricka!
In a world of 3D scanning, macro lenses, and digital site visits, how can illustration still be a useful skill? If you want to learn the basics of drawing artifacts, biofacts, and more, join this scientific illustration workshop! To participate, you will need graph paper, a ruler or other straight edge, seamstress tape, a pencil, and something to draw.
This presentation is most appropriate for teens and adults, but is family-friendly.
The rapid aridification of southeastern Arabia at the end of the Umm an-Nar period (2700-2000 BCE) coincided with major changes in material culture and social organization. This lecture explores how isotopes from the skeletons of those interred in Bronze Age tombs from the Shimal Necropolis in the United Arab Emirates can be used to evaluate shifts in climate as well as subsequent impacts on human mobility patterns and dietary intake.
FPAN is hosting this event.
