SUMMARY:A Mouthful of Archaeology: Oral Health Disparities During the Early Bronze Age in Anatolia
DESCRIPTION:Archaeology and Biological Anthropology Lunch Talk with Dr. Emily Smith — April 29th at 12 noon in Rm 261\, Social Sciences 1. \nAbout the Talk: The Early Bronze Age in Anatolia is recognized as a transformative period of increased social stratification\, urbanization\, and socioeconomic shifts. While substantial archaeological evidence traces these characteristics of the Early Bronze Age\, there remains a deficit in bioarchaeological evidence supporting this discussion. Emily’s research seeks to fill the gap in the biocultural evidence by investigating oral health. Her research demonstrates how dental anthropology is vital in understanding the relationships between diet\, social structure\, and complex cultural and economic changes during the Early Bronze Age in Anatolia. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: Emily Smith is the new Laboratory Operations and Facilities Manager for the Anthropology Department. She recently earned her PhD in Anthropology from the University of Nevada\, Reno. Her research interests focus on oral health disparities\, where the majority of her research has looked at health disparities during the rise of city-states in Anatolia during the Early Bronze Age. \n

SUMMARY:The Emergence of Maritime Archaeology in the Republic of Benin: Research\, Challenges\, and Ongoing Initiatives
DESCRIPTION:Presentation Abstract:  The Republic of Benin has a rich maritime history shaped by human interactions along its coast. However\, these coastal areas remain understudied in terms of archaeological research. Over the past five years\, research has explored the potential of both land and submerged archaeological sites to understand long-term occupation and material evidence of Atlantic-era exchanges. This presentation traces the development of maritime archaeology in Benin through ongoing research. Grounded in a Maritime Cultural Landscape framework\, it combines terrestrial survey data\, underwater investigations\, oral traditions\, and historical archives to reconstruct past human interactions along the coast. \nAbout the Presenter: Affolabi Angelo Ayedoun is a PhD Student in the Department of Anthropology at UCSC. His research seeks to illuminate the precolonial history of coastal Benin by analyzing patterns of occupation and cultural interaction during the second millennium AD. It focuses on the Grand-Popo region\, an area of early settlement and a key site of initial colonial contact in present-day Benin.
