\"\"AIA (Archaeological Institute of America) Toledo Society Lecture Series: \u201cExcavating the Assyrian Empire: An Archaeological Project in Iraqi Kurdistan\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, January 12 | Little Theater | 6:30pm ET
\nAIA (Archaeological Institute of America) Toledo Society Lecture Series: \u201cExcavating the Assyrian Empire: An Archaeological Project in Iraqi Kurdistan\u201d<\/p>\n

The Assyrian Empire (900-612BCE) of ancient Mesopotamia and beyond was the largest territorial empire the world had yet seen \u2013 covering over half a million square miles in area stretching from Iran in the east to Egypt in the west. Through a regime of tremendous military might and resource extraction, the impact Assyria left changed the trajectory of ancient empires to come.<\/p>\n

This talk introduces the Assyrian Empire and its effects on those under its hegemony that are usually left out of historical records. While many studying the ancient world approach empires from the grand remains of palaces, temples, and cities, archaeologists are now turning to the countryside to study the \u201cother half\u201d.<\/p>\n

A new excavation project in modern-day Iraqi Kurdistan began in 2022, targeting the rural Assyrian site of Qach Rresh to understand Assyrian administration, agriculture, and power. This talk presents how current archaeological investigations at this small rural site are contributing to how we see imperial power\u2026 and imperial collapse.<\/p>\n

This FREE event is open to the public. Co-sponsored by the Toledo Museum of Art, Archaeological Institute of America Toledo Society, and the Kurt T. Luckner Lecture Fund.<\/p>\n

Public Programs Presenting Sponsor, the Appold Family; and Annual Public Programs Sponsor, the Rita Barbour Kern Foundation.<\/p>\n
