At the end of the fifth-century BCE, a small coastal trading ship wrecked at Tektaş Burnu, near modern Cesme, along the west coast of Turkey. Underwater remains of ancient ships continue to provide new information about maritime trade and technology, and yet our understanding of shipboard life remains incomplete. This lecture will synthesize scattered textual evidence along with excavated evidence from the Tektaş Burnu ship to decipher what shipboard materials can—and cannot—tell us about life at sea on a small coastal trader at the time of Socrates.
Free and open to the public. Light reception at 5:30. Co-sponsored by the USF Classical Society and the Dept. of History.

Tales from a Museum Basement: New Insights on Pottery from the Crystal River Site
The Crystal River site is a Woodland-period mound complex in west central Florida. Revisiting a collection of over 16,000 sherds previously excavated at the site by Ripley Bullen and others provides an opportunity for new insights on a collection that has never been thoroughly analyzed. This presentation will focus on a few aspects of the research project such as the differences in vessel types, forms, and functions and their distribution across the site. This new information adds to a broader understanding of pottery and its role in social interactions at this famous site.
