May 10, 2017 • Archaeology has a unique potential for investigating the constitution and dynamics of empires because it provides us with access to unrecorded peoples, places, and activities. These datasets allow us to explore both the heterogeneity of ancient empires and to identify structural similarities between empires as they play out on the ground. The case studies presented in this seminar provide expert assessments of historically-specific configurations of key ancient empires across the globe. • • About the School for Advanced Research (SAR): Founded in 1907, the School for Advanced Research (SAR) is one of North America’s preeminent independent institutes for the study of anthropology, related social sciences and humanities.
