National Archaeology Day
Our Saturday, October 19, 2013 the AIA-OC helped celebrate National Archaeology Day
with a program and cuneiform writing demonstration at the Bowers Museum
in Santa Ana, CA. Dr. William Schniedewind, who holds the Kershaw Chair
of Eastern Mediterranean Studies at UCLA, presented a lecture on “The
Ancient Persian Cylinder of Cyrus the Great." See photos here.
The AIA-OC also had a display for International Archaeology Day at the Mission Viejo Library.
Field Trip
The AIA-OC had a field trip to the Center for Near Eastern Archaeology at La Sierra University on Sunday, November 3, 2013.
As
part of a salute to National Archaeology Day, the field trip included a
behind the scenes tour by Dr. Douglas Clark, Director of the Exhibit of
Ancient Near Eastern Artifacts Labs for Collection and Research, and a
PowerPoint presentation on “Excavations in Jordan.” See photos here.
La
Sierra University has one of the largest collections in the United
States of daily use artifacts from Jordan, Palestine, and Israel.
We are one of the AIA local societies
that
provide a vehicle for people interested in archaeology to meet one
another, to hear
from
scholars about their current research, to learn about recent
archaeological discoveries and to take trips together to nearby
archaeological sites and other archaeology-related events.
