Part 3: Artifacts, The Archaeology of Harvard Yard
Students in ANTH S-1130 The Archaeology of Harvard Yard dig below the grass of Harvard Yard in search of artifacts that can inform gaps in the written history of Harvard College and the Indian College that stood in the Yard in the 17th century.
In the lab, students carefully clean and record their finds. They work to identify and date the artifacts in order to understand the history that they uncovered. Eventually, the artifacts will become part of the permanent collection at the Peabody Museum.
This is the 3rd of 4 videos documenting Summer 2011's findings and analysis.
ANTH S-1130 is taught by Christina J. Hodge, PhD, Senior Curatorial Assistant, Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, and Diana Loren, PhD, Associate Curator, Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University.
Project partners include the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, the Harvard Native American Program, the Harvard University Department of Anthropology, and the Massachusetts Commission on Indian Affairs.

Harvard Square is near the center of Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. It refers to both the triangular plaza at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue, Brattle Street, and John F. Kennedy Street; as well as the business district and Harvard University surrounding that intersection. It is the historic center of Cambridge.[2] Adjacent to Harvard Yard, the historic heart of Harvard University,[3] the Square (as it is sometimes called locally) functions as a commercial center for Harvard students, as well as residents of western Cambridge and the inner western and northern suburbs of Boston. These residents use the Harvard station, a major MBTA Red Line subway and bus transportation hub.
In an extended sense, the name Harvard Square can also refer to the entire neighborhood surrounding this intersection for several blocks in each direction. The nearby Cambridge Common has become a park area with a playground, baseball field, and a number of monuments, several relating to the Revolutionary War.
The heart of Harvard Square is the junction of Massachusetts Avenue and Brattle Street. Massachusetts Avenue enters from the southeast (a few miles after crossing the Charles River from Boston at MIT), and turns sharply to the north at the intersection, which is dominated by a large pedestrian space incorporating the MBTA subway entrance, an international newsstand, a visitor information kiosk, and a small open-air performance space (The Pit). Brattle Street and John F. Kennedy Street merge from the southwest, joining Massachusetts Avenue at Nini's Corner, where another newsstand is located. The Harvard/MIT Cooperative Society main building forms the western streetwall at the intersection, along with a bank and some retail shops.
The walled enclosure of Harvard Yard is adjacent, with Harvard University, Harvard Extension School, Harvard Art Museums, Semitic Museum, Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, and Museum of Natural History just short walks away.
Other institutions in the general neighborhood include the Cambridge Public Library, Lesley College, the Longy School of Music, the Episcopal Divinity School, the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, American Repertory Theater, the Cooper-Frost-Austin House, the Hooper-Lee-Nichols House, and the Longfellow House–Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site.
The high pedestrian traffic makes Harvard Square a gathering place for street musicians and buskers, who must obtain a permit from the Cambridge Arts Council. Singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman, who attended nearby Tufts University, is known to have played here during her college years. Amanda Palmer, of The Dresden Dolls, regularly performed here as a living statue.[4]:145 A small bronze statue of Doo Doo (a puppet created by Igor Fokin) sits at the corner of Brattle and Eliot streets, in honor of Fokin and all the street performers.[5]
Until 1984, the Harvard Square stop was the northern terminus of the Red Line, and it still functions as a major transfer station between subway, bus, and trackless trolley. Automobile traffic can be heavy, and parking is difficult. Most of the bus lines serving the area from the north and west run through a tunnel adjacent to the subway tunnel. Originally built for streetcars (which last ran in 1958) and still used by trackless trolleys as well as ordinary buses, the tunnel lessens bus traffic in central Harvard Square, and lets buses cross the Square without encountering automobile traffic. The tunnel also allows safer and covered access between the subway and the buses.
Discussions of how the Square has changed in recent years usually center on the gentrification of the Harvard Square neighborhood and Cambridge in general.

Reflections on the First Fifty Years of the Peabody Museum, 1866–1916
Curtis Hinsley, Regents’ Professor Emeritus of History and Comparative Cultural Studies, Northern Arizona University
The Peabody Museum was founded at a time of epistemological and political turmoil, seven years after the publication of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species and one year after the end of the Civil War. The chaotic decades following the war proved to be an era of unprecedented economic opportunity, but also a time of corruption, disillusionment, and oppression. In the world of instruction, museums held the promise of teaching not only scientific facts, but proper values as well; a museum of anthropology might serve a vital moral function in the emerging society. As Peabody director Frederic Putnam wrote in 1891: “Many an indifferent idler straggling into a well-arranged museum goes forth with new ideas and fresh interests” to enrich “an otherwise aimless and weary life.” In this lecture Curtis Hinsley will consider the hopes and intentions of the Peabody Museum in its early years.
Presented as part of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology's 150th anniversary.
Tales of the Moche Kings and Queens: Elite Burials from the North Coast of Peru
Jeffrey Quilter, William and Muriel Seabury Howells Director of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology; Senior Lecturer on Anthropology, Harvard University
This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the discovery of the Lord of Sipán, one of the most spectacular gold tombs found in the Americas and the first of many elite tombs found in northern Peru. The remains of these burial sites provide a treasure trove of information about ancient Moche art, technology, and beliefs. Jeffrey Quilter will share firsthand information about elite burial excavations and discuss how studies of these tombs have shaped our understanding of Moche social and political organization, helping to settle the debate over whether the Moche were a state society.

Run, Don't Walk: Sacred Movement among the Classic Maya
The Classic Maya made a critical distinction between the ordinary daily movement of humans and sacred, formal movement. Stephen D. Houston examines a rich inventory of glyphic references, imagery, and formal routes to show how linear movement formed the essence of sacred and marked motion among the Maya.
Stephen D. Houston is the Dupee Family Professor of Social Science and Professor of Anthropology and Archaeology at Brown University.

Life at Colonial Harvard: The Archaeological Evidence
Lecture presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology related to the Digging Veritas exhibition about the archaeology of Harvard Yard and Harvard's Indian College.
Harvard University's 1650 charter founded a multicultural educational setting when it committed the new institution to the education of the English and Indian Youth of this Country in knowledge and godliness. The Harvard Yard Archaeology Project contributes to renewing that commitment by seeking deeper knowledge of seventeenth-century Harvard College and the Native American and English students. Join Diana Loren and Patricia Capone in a presentation of the project's findings to date, including printing type from the first printing press in the British colonies and the results of the fourth excavation in Harvard Yard, conducted in 2014.
Speakers: Diana Loren, Director of Academic Partnerships and Museum Curator, Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology; Patricia Capone, Museum Curator, Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology
LARGE ThyssenKrupp Traction Elevators at Museum of the American Indian, Washington, D.C.
Recorded: 4/20/2019
These are VERY themed elevators! The designs and floor and ceiling lighting look amazing. These were installed by ThyssenKrupp. They seem to use GAL equipment and controllers, but have custom EPCO bar buttons and CL Circleline button indicators. The hall buttons are very unique. I like how there are 4 elevators for 4 floors (one of them serves more floors).

The Allure of Collecting Arms and Armor
Lecture in conjunction with Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology's Arts of War: Artistry in Weapons across Cultures exhibition by Donald J. LaRocca, Curator, Department of Arms and Armor, The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
From dynastic armories and curiosity cabinets to Gothic Revival castles, private collections, and modern museums, armor and weapons have been methodically collected, studied, and preserved for their artistic and historical importance, beginning in the sixteenth century and continuing to the present day. This lecture will survey that legacy, particularly as it relates to the genesis of the major collections of arms and armor in leading European and American museums today, concluding with the growth and development of the Department of Arms and Armor in the Metropolitan Museum of Art over the past century.

Far from Home: Bringing Archaeological Collections & Tribal Ancestors Home to Alaska
Over the last century researchers from across the U.S. and Europe explored Native villages and archaeological sites across Alaska collecting artifacts from public lands. Recently, the Bureau of Land Management led an interagency effort to retrieve Native Alaskan ancestral remains and artifacts collected 70 to 110 years ago. These collections were returned to Alaska and placed in a state museum and the ancestral remains are being prepared for repatriation. Join Emily S. Palus, Deputy Division Chief, Cultural, Paleontological Resources and Tribal Consultation, Bureau of Land Management to learn more about the complexities of this case study.
Protecting the Ash Tree: Wabanaki Diplomacy and Sustainability Science in Maine
Public Lecture by Darren Ranco
(PhD Social Anthropology, Harvard University), Chair of Native American Programs, Associate Professor of Anthropology, Coordinator of Native American Research, University of Maine
11-18-2014. Offered in connection with the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology's exhibition, The Legacy of Penobscot Canoes: A View from the River.
Brown ash trees sustain the ancestral basket-making traditions of the Wabanaki people of Maine and play a key role in their creation myths. These trees are now threatened by the emerald ash borer, a beetle that has already killed millions of ash trees in the eastern United States. Wabanaki tribes and basket makers have joined forces with foresters, university researchers, and landowners to develop and deploy actions aimed at preventing an invasion by this insect. Anthropologist Darren Ranco discusses how the stakeholders in this interdisciplinary effort are using sustainability science and drawing from Wabanaki forms of diplomacy to influence state and federal responses to the emerald ash borer and prevent the demise of the ash trees central to Wabanaki culture.
Public lecture offered in collaboration with the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University and Harvard Museum of Natural History.
Teotihuacan and the Making of a World City
2018 Gordon R. Willey Lecture and Reception
Deborah L. Nichols, William J. Bryant 1925 Professor of Anthropology; Chair, Latin America, Latino, and Caribbean Studies, Department of Anthropology, Dartmouth College
In the first century CE, Teotihuacan became the capital of the area known today as Central Mexico. The city grew to include 100,000 people, drawing immigrants from Western Mexico, the Valley of Oaxaca, Veracruz, and the Maya region. Deborah Nichols will discuss how Teotihuacan became the largest and most influential city in Mexico and Central America; how it maintained this position for 500 years through diplomacy, pilgrimages, military incursions, and commerce; why modern scholars consider it a “world city”; and what challenges exist in advancing an understanding of its legacy.
