SUMMARY:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar: Following Pots from the Dead Sea Plain to Pittsburgh
DESCRIPTION:Talk: Following Pots from the Dead Sea Plain to Pittsburgh \nSpeaker: Dr. Morag Kersel and Meredith Chesson \nWhen: Thursday\, March 11\, 2027\, 6:00–7:00 p.m. \nWhere: Art Theater and online via Zoom \nTickets: Free. Museum admission not required. \nIn the early 1960s\, archaeologist Paul Lapp noticed a flood of Early Bronze Age (3600–2000 BCE) pots in antiquities shops in Jerusalem and Amman\, unmistakably looted from the prehistoric cemetery at Bâb adh-Dhrâʿ\, a site along the Dead Sea Plain in Jordan. In response\, Lapp and colleagues initiated excavations in the cemetery to save pots and other grave goods from also ending up on the antiquities market. Many of these items now reside at Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Since 2011\, Morag Kersel and Meredith Chesson have been following Early Bronze Age pots from these same Dead Sea sites. They conduct pedestrian and drone surveys\, use archival resources\, and collect ethnographic interviews to trace how these vessels have moved\, and to reconstruct their social\, economic\, and political meanings from 5\,000 years ago to today. \nRegistration is required to attend R.W. Moriarty Science Seminars. Register here to attend in person or click here to join us via Zoom.  \nUpcoming R.W. Moriarty Science Seminars\nLearn about scientific discoveries directly from the experts in the field.

SUMMARY:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar: Fragile Legacies: The Ethics\, Science\, and Art of a Conservator
DESCRIPTION:Talk: Fragile Legacies: The Ethics\, Science\, and Art of a Conservator \nSpeaker: Dr. Nancy Odegaard \nWhen: Monday\, April 12\, 2027\, 12:00–1:00 p.m. \nWhere: Art Theater and online via Zoom \nTickets: Free. Museum admission not required. \nA career in conservation is based on responses. Conservators react to object damage\, disaster recovery\, technical study\, and various ethical or legal issues. An objects conservator may be asked to be an active part of archaeological excavations\, collections management\, repatriation\, exhibitions\, and loans. Collaborations may involve colleagues from anthropology\, classics\, art history\, historic preservation\, chemistry\, and materials science. This lecture will explore some of the influencing factors and outputs of a career in conservation through encounters with the sensitive and current issues surrounding human remains and their belongings\, the determination and removal of toxic pesticides on museum objects\, and the recovery and identification of stolen art. \nRegistration is required to attend R.W. Moriarty Science Seminars. Register here to attend in person or click here to join us via Zoom.  \nUpcoming R.W.
