Dr. Erin Darby, associate professor of Religious Studies at the University of Tennessee, will provide our annual Archaeological Institute of America public lecture. The title of her lecture is: 

Religion at the Boundaries and the Archaeology of Interreligious Engagement

A reception will follow the talk. 

This lecture approaches Iron Age desert cultic sites from southern Israel and Jordan as zones of interaction in cultural, economic, and ritual networks, considering them in light of larger patterns in human mobility and ritual economy across the Mediterranean region. 

Sponsored by the AIA, Archaeological Studies, and the Departments of Classics and Religion.
