Temporary Exhibit - FoodStore: Food Storage in the Late Fifth, Fourth, and Third Millennia BC in the Northern Fertile Crescent
A temporary exhibit in the atrium of the Archaeological Research Facility describes the FoodStore project. The exhibit is accompanied by a lecture by Dr. Valentina Tumolo on March 13. On March 7, a reception at the ARF (4:00 pm) will celebrate the exhibit's launch. The reception on March 7 and the lecture on March 13 are both free and open to the public.
About: Storing food has always been a basic need for semi-nomadic and sedentary people, representing both a risk-management strategy and a source of social power. In archaeological contexts, the ways in which food is stored is associated with a combination of ecological, technological, and social factors. FoodStore is an ongoing project centred on the investigation of features for food storage in south-eastern Turkey and the Kurdistan region of Iraq in the late fifth, fourth, and third millennium BC, through a combination of traditional macro-archaeological methods and micro-archaeological techniques. The goal of the project is to identify how past technological knowledges interacted with different landscapes and climates, and under various social conditions, to create and preserve diverse types of storage features.

Disability Justice and Community Archaeology at a 20th Century Eugenic Institution in Western Massachusetts (Laura Heath-Stout, Stanford University)
This talk will take place in person at the ARF and on Zoom (you must have a Zoom account to attend). Register for online attendance here.
Abstract: "Nothing about us without us" has been a key rallying cry of the disability rights movement for decades, yet archaeologists regularly interpret past disabled people's lives while excluding modern disabled people from archaeology careers. In my upcoming project, I seek to address both the epistemic limitations of an archaeology of disability done by nondisabled people and the injustices of systemic ableism in archaeology as a discipline. In collaboration with disabled activists in Massachusetts, I will be investigating the history of the Belchertown State School, where people with intellectual disabilities and others were institutionalized from 1922–1992, and contributing to the Belchertown community's and Massachusetts's state-wide reckonings with the histories of eugenics and abuse. In this talk, I will present the foundations of this new project and invite discussion of how to create a truly disability-justice-oriented archaeology project that contributes to both disability activism and archaeological knowledge production in meaningful ways.

Food storage in the Northern Fertile Crescent and micro-archaeological investigations: the FoodStore project (Valentina Tumolo)
This talk will take place in person at the ARF and on Zoom (you must have a Zoom account to attend). Register for online attendance here.
Abstract:
Storing food has always been a basic need for semi-nomadic and sedentary people, representing both a risk-management strategy and a source of social power. In archaeological contexts, the ways in which food is stored is associated with a combination of ecological, technological, and social factors. This talk will present the preliminary work of an ongoing project centred on the investigation of features for food storage in western inner Syria, south-eastern Turkey, and Iraq during the late fifth, fourth, and third millennium BC, through a combination of traditional macro-archaeological methods and micro-archaeological techniques. A focus will be given on the collection of samples for micromorphology conducted during the 2023 fieldwork, and particularly on the relationship between excavation strategies and standard protocols for sampling, as well as accessibility and representativeness of feature types in respect to the concept of case specific site-formation processes.
