DESCRIPTION:-------- VIRTUAL PIZZA TALK: CULTURAL HERITAGE? A PERSONAL TALE
  FROM TELL  MOZAN IN SYRIA [1] -------------------------------------------
 -------\n\n*Dr. Giorgio Buccellati*, Research Professor and Director, Me
 sopotamian Lab,  Cotsen Institute of Archaeology, UCLA *Dr. Marilyn Kell
 y-Buccellati*, Visiting Professor, Cotsen Institute of  Archaeology, UC
 LA Wednesday February 24th, 12:00pm (PT)\n\nUrkesh was one of the first c
 ities in history, dating back to the fourth  millennium. It is, today, 
 a large cultural hill, known as Tell Mozan, in  northeastern Syria, an 
 area ravaged by war.\n\nThe Mesopotamians  were already aware  of the hist
 ory hidden in the tells  which, even then, dotted the countryside. Here 
 is a Sumerian text:\n\n/Where is Gilgameš, who, like (his ancestor) Zius
 udra, sought  (eternal)  life? Where are those great kings who came long 
 before our own days? Above  there are the houses where they dwelt, but it
  is below that there are the  houses that last forever./\n\nAnd here is a 
 Babylonian text:\n\n/Go up any of the ancient tells and walk about see the
  skulls of people from  ages past and from yesteryear: can you tell the di
 fference?/\n\nEven the word for 'tell' is still the same today as it was t
 hen. We may see  here, four millennia ago, the beginning of community ar
 chaeology. It is the  awareness of a life hidden in the ground where our r
 oots sink deeply.\n\nThis will be both a personal tale and one about theor
 y. Personal, because we  want to share how we have  come gradually  to fe
 el more and more the impact  of what the question mark in the title of our
  talk implies. And yet  theoretical, because we have always questioned th
 is growing awareness of ours  for conservation and heritage, trying to se
 e why community archaeology  is  in fact, as it must be, simply and pure
 ly 'better' archaeology.\n\nRegister for this Cotsen Virtual Pizza Talk he
