SUMMARY:“Ancient Southwestern Native American Pottery” Adult Education Class
DESCRIPTION:Examples of ancient southwestern Patayan\, Hohokam\, Mogollon\, and Ancestral Pueblo Native American pottery courtesy of Bureau of Land Management\, Arizona State Museum\, and Amerind Foundation Museum. \n“Ancient Southwestern Native American Pottery” adult education class will be taught by archaeologist Allen Dart for OLLI-UA Green Valley members at Pima Community College Room 203\, 1250 W Continental Rd\, Green Valley\, Arizona*  3:30 to 5 p.m. Open only to Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) members; OLLI-UA Green Valley $105 semiannual (7/1-12/3/2016) membership fee or $140 entire—year fee year allows one to take this and many other OLLI courses. \nIn this presentation Mr. Dart shows and discusses Native American ceramic styles that characterized specific eras in the U.S. Southwest prior to about 1450\, and talks about how archaeologists use pottery for dating archaeological sites and interpreting ancient lifeways. He discusses the importance of context in archaeology\, how the things people make change in style over time\, and how different styles are useful for identifying different cultures and for dating archaeological sites. His many illustrations include examples of ancient pottery types made throughout the American Southwest from about 2000 to 500 years ago. \n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event.

SUMMARY:“Technological Wonders of Classical Antiquity”
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesdays\, June 1\, 8\, 15\, & 22\, 2016\, this four-week noncredit class will be given by Professor Eleni Hasaki\, sponsored by University of Arizona Humanities Seminars at Helen S. Schaefer Building\, 1508 E. Helen St.\, Tucson.* What were the key technologies and major technical achievements of classical Greek antiquity? This course examines two crucial and interconnected industries: ceramics and bronze-working. The two crafts are often discussed separately\, but this course will focus on their deeply rooted connections. We will examine the qualities of the raw materials used\, the technological know-how of potters and bronze-smiths\, the pyrotechnological principles of their kilns and furnaces\, as well as the social\, political\, economic\, and cultural milieus that promoted their breakthroughs. We will explore their workshops\, toolkits\, apprenticeship structures\, and technological treatises by using ancient evidence (archaeological\, visual\, textual) as well by witnessing their enduring qualities in modern production contexts.\nEleni Masaki is an Associate Professor in School of Anthropology and the Department of  Classics\, and codirector of the laboratory for Traditional technology at the University of Arizona. Her scholarship focuses on the technologies of classical antiquity\, the spatial organization of workshops\, craft apprenticeship\, and the negotiation of social status through crafts. She directs projects in the Mediterranean (Greece. Tunisia) that promote the study of ancient and traditional technologies. 9 -11 a.m. each Wednesday; 4-week course fee $85\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event.
