Materiality for the Archaeological Enthusiast: Case Studies in Human-Thing Assemblages from Ancient Mesoamerica
AIA Lecture: Dr. Jeffrey S. Brzezinski
Wednesday, April 7 at 7:00 pm MST Via Zoom

Recent developments in archaeological theory have demonstrated that the relationships between humans and things are far more complicated and instructive than previously thought. Of course, humans make things, but things also make us human. In this lecture, Dr. Brzezinski discusses the application of contemporary theories of material culture to a range of archaeological contexts from ancient Mesoamerica. By exploring the ways in which ritual paraphernalia, architecture, ancestors, deities, and even trash middens helped to mediate human lives and shape histories, we may come to a more nuanced understanding of our distant past.

The lecture is free and will be hosted on Zoom.  The link to the lecture will be sent to your email prior.
