Sea Peoples and Neo-Hittites in “The Land of Palistin”: Recent Discoveries at Tell Tayinat on the Plain of Antioch
Sperry Room, Andover Hall, Harvard Divinity School, 45 Francis Ave.
Tue., Mar. 9, 2010, 7 – 8:30 p.m.



This lecture will present an illustrated overview of the results of the ongoing Tayinat investigations, and the historical insights they have provided to date.

Recent archaeological discoveries, including a growing corpus of epigraphic finds, have begun to challenge the prevailing view of the Early Iron Age (ca. 1200-900 BCE) as an era of cultural and political disruption and ethnic strife, or a "Dark Age," as depicted in the Homeric epics and the Hebrew Bible. Recent epigraphic discoveries, for example, have revealed that some ruling dynasties appear to have survived the collapse of the great Bronze Age powers. The University of Toronto excavations at Tell Tayinat, on the Plain of Antioch, have begun to uncover extensive remains from this Dark Age. The emerging archaeological picture points to the rise of a powerful regional state associated with "the Land of Palistin," and comprised of an intriguing amalgam of Aegean, Anatolian (Luwian) and Bronze Age West Syrian cultural traditions, which appears to have eclipsed nearby Aleppo as the principal power in the region during this period. Palistin resurfaces in ninth century Neo-Assyrian sources as the Neo-Hittite Kingdom of Patina (or the alternative Unqi), though with diminished political borders, and is eventually destroyed in 738 BCE by Tiglath-pileser III, who transforms Tayinat into an Assyrian provincial capital.

Finding Hope in Hard Times: Tuesday Morning Reflection

Time: 8:30aâ?"8:50a

Location: W-15

Need help with your outlook? Take a moment to look within.

That's the recommendation of the Institute's chaplains, who are starting "Tuesdays in the Chapel at MIT," a new, weekly service dedicated to reflection, meditation, and inspiration. "The goal is to give people a chance to center themselves, so they can focus, meditate, and think about how they will approach the week," says Dr. Robert Randolph, Chaplain to the Institute.

Hosted in the campus chapel, the brief sessions will run from 8:30 to 8:50 each Tuesday throughout the school year. Randolph says the tone will be deliberately simple: a brief musical piece, a reading, words of encouragement, and time for reflection. The theme for this year is "Finding Hope in Hard Times."

"The intention and focus is going to be, 'How do you get through hard times?'" Randolph says. "We all know that many of our friends are struggling. Some of us are struggling in these difficult times, as well."

All are welcome. Chaplains from all religious traditions will take the lead for the first few weeks, and as the rhythm of the gathering is established, others will add their voices. After the service and before 9:00 AM, coffee and juice will be available in W-11.

Open to: the general public

This event occurs on Tuesdays through May 1, 2010.

Technology and Enlightenment: The Mechanical Arts in Diderot's Encyclopedie

Time: 10:00aâ?"4:00p

Location: 14N-130, Maihaugen Gallery

This exhibit explores one of the most important and controversial publications of the eighteenth century, Diderot's "Encyclopedie, ou Dictionnaire raisonne des sciences, des arts et des metiers." This massive work became infamous in its day as an enlightened attack on French and European religious dogmatism and monarchical inefficiency and injustice. Containing over 2,500 elaborately engraved plates, it documented the mechanical arts and technology, placing equal importance on the manual trades as the arts and sciences. The exhibit features fascinating images chosen from the 32 original folio volumes owned by the MIT Libraries, as well as multimedia components illustrating the Encylopedie's significance.

Steward Pickett: "The Creation and Use of Ecological Space: A Biologist's Perspective from the Wild to the Urban"

Speaker: Steward Pickett

Time: 12:00pâ?"2:00p

Location: E14-633

Steward Pickett's work has spanned a wide variety of ecological systems, ranging from the dynamics of abandoned agricultural fields, natural disturbance in old-growth forest, landscape ecology, and two decades of urban ecology. This talk explores the conceptual unity in this wide array of topics: the generation and significance of spatial heterogeneity in the function of ecological systems. Urban ecological research is the most complex expression of this interest, and is poised for deeper integration with urban design and planning.

Following the talk, join us for a brief reception.

Open to: the general public

"l-adic etale cohomology of PEL Shimura varieties with non-trivial coefficients"




Abstract: Given a Shimura datum (G,h) of PEL type, let p be an odd prime at which G is unramified. We describe a formula computing the l-adic cohomology of the associated Shimura varieties (regarded as a representation of the adelic points of G and of the local Weil group at p) in terms of that of their local models at p (the associated Rapoport-Zink spaces) and of the corresponding Igusa varieties, when the coefficients are in a lisse etale sheaf attached to a finite dimensional l-adic representation of the group G, for l not equal to p.

Luminous Windows

Time: 4:30pâ?"11:58p

Location: N51, MIT Museum at 265 Massachusetts Avenue

The MIT Museum's second annual "Luminous Windows" winter exhibition of holography features artists and scientists who pioneered this revolutionary imaging technology. The curtain goes up starting from sunset - 2 AM and runs until March 14, 2010.

The exhibition includes a rare public showing of Hand in Jewels, an 18- by 24-inch laser transmission hologram by artist Robert Schinella. Commissioned in 1972 by the jewelry firm Cartier for its New York City Fifth Avenue display window, the 3D diamond bracelet dangling from an elegant hand, projected out over the sidewalk AND astonished passersby.

The holograms on view in the MIT Museum's Massachusetts Avenue windows include four works from the museum's collection, the largest and most comprehensive collection of holography in the world, and two others on loan from private collections, including Hand in Jewels, owned by Marian Javits, widow of the long-time New York senator, Jacob K. Javits. Some of the works are technological achievements; others are influential artworks that advanced holography as an expressive medium.

EARTH SYSTEM INITIATIVE YOUNG FACULTY SEMINARS

Speaker: Tanja Bosak, Cecil & Ida Green Assistant Professor of Earth, Atmospheric & Planetary Sciences

Time: 4:00pâ?"5:00p

Location: 48-316

GROWTH GEOMETRY OF MODERN AND ANCIENT PHOTSYNTHETIC BIOFILMS

Stromatolites are laminated and lithified sedimentary structures often interpreted as Earth's oldest macroscopic fossils. But do ancient stromatolites actually record evidence of biological processes in their morphology? Professor Bosak will present experimental and theoretical evidence linking the biological and physical processes of modern photosynthetic biofilm technology to the macroscopic geometry and textural signatures of contemporary conical stromatolites. This mechanistic understanding of the biophysical processes governing growth geometry in modern stromatolites allows us to identify evidence of photosynthetic processes preserved in rocks from early Earth.



NOTE: Reception to follow at 5pm

THE ESI YOUNG FACULTY SEMINARS is a series of occasional talks by our young faculty affiliates. The goal is to foster cross-departmental community and new collaborative research relationships by having them present their very latest work to colleagues in other departments.
