Uncovering a Lost Civilization: Archaeology and the Bronze Age

Going from discovery to identification to interpretation takes years of work from many different researchers. In this lecture, University of Chicago PhD candidate Teagan Wolter looks at how archaeologists uncovered what is known at the Oxus Civilization in Central Asia. Participants will have a chance to see a sampling of these impressive Oxus artifacts, which remain relatively unknown to most people today. This event took place on Thursday, July 30 2020, from 7:00-8:00 pm. This event was graciously sponsored by the following organizations: Barrington Area Library; Center for Eastern European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (CEERES) at University of Chicago; and Professional Advancement and Training for Humanists and Humanistic Social Scientists (PATHS) at University of Chicago.
