The Department of Art and Art History of the University of Connecticut,  with the generous support of Beverly and Raymond Sackler, is pleased to present the Beverly and Raymond Sackler Art and Archaeology Lecture Series.  The series brings some of today’s most distinguished archaeologists and scholars working in the fields of Near Eastern, Middle Eastern and Latin American archaeology to the University of Connecticut  to present recent research and discuss the critical issues currently facing the field. In light of the dramatic changes taking place in Latin America and in the Near and Middle East today, what role does archaeology play in these regions, and what challenges lie ahead? How are archaeologists reassessing the goals of their discipline, and reinterpreting their vital contributions to our understanding of cultures and societies, both past and present?
