Lecture December 4, 2016. "Neighborhood Society: Ancient and Modern"

I'm honored to be presenting a lecture for the Archaeological Institute of America - Milwaukee Chapter on December 4, 2016 on the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee campus (Sabin Hall, Room G90).

This lecture will cover my current thoughts and efforts to connect neighborhood archaeology on ancient sites to what we know about the social life of American neighborhoods in recent history. Namely, I'll present recent conclusions and future plans on my work in Peru and compare it with recent research and teaching on historic Chicago neighborhoods. 

Thanks to AIA-Milwaukee and UW-Milwaukee for the invitation and hospitality! Scroll down for the calendar of all currently-scheduled lectures.
