The photographer driven mad by unsupported demands for spectacular discoveries at Mesopotamian Nippur in the 1890s. The trail-blazing female architect-archaeologist who\, despite her hearing impairment\, introduced the monumental Hellenistic burial at Mount Nemrut to the globe after World War II. For each of these early explorers\, doing archaeology in the ancient Near East was undoubtedly always very difficult\, but perhaps never boring. However\, these three and others had something else important in common\, they each strived to introduce careful scientific practice to a discipline all too often entrenched in amateur treasure-hunting. Investigating their stories\, both personal and professional\, provides us with an opportunity to better understand the crucial interplay between scientific thought and early archaeological practice\, against a backdrop of often unintended adventures.   About the Speaker Elvan is an assistant professor of history at the Hong Kong Baptist University.  She is currently working on a book manuscript that investigates how the advent of railways in the Ottoman Empire altered spatial practices in western Anatolia and facilitated the rise of emergent practices ranging from tourism to archaeology.  She is also the assistant director of a field project in Armenia\, the Ararat Plain Southeast Archaeological Project\, where she is currently researching human and nonhuman mobilities of the South Caucasus during the early modern and modern eras.

Historical Episodes from the Archaeological Exploration of the Middle East Speaker: Dr. Elvan Cobb (Assistant Professor\, Department of History\, Hong Kong Baptist University) Date/Time: February 21\, 2025 (Friday) 14:30-15:30 (HKT) Language: English Venue: Room 201\, May Hall\, HKU & Zoom Enquiry: (Email) ihss@hku.hk Register Now: https://hku.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_A3a8uo4fSKa0rOnpzYm7OQ#/registration \n \n \n \n Abstract The railway engineer who convinced a pair of empires to let him lead the first archaeological excavations of Ephesus in the 1860s. The photographer driven mad by unsupported demands for spectacular discoveries at Mesopotamian Nippur in the 1890s. The trail-blazing female architect-archaeologist who\, despite her hearing impairment\, introduced the monumental Hellenistic burial at Mount Nemrut to the globe after World War II. For each of these early explorers\, doing archaeology in the ancient Near East was undoubtedly always very difficult\, but perhaps never boring. However\, these three and others had something else important in common\, they each strived to introduce careful scientific practice to a discipline all too often entrenched in amateur treasure-hunting. Investigating their stories\, both personal and professional\, provides us with an opportunity to better understand the crucial interplay between scientific thought and early archaeological practice\, against a backdrop of often unintended adventures.   About the Speaker Elvan is an assistant professor of history at the Hong Kong Baptist University.  She is currently working on a book manuscript that investigates how the advent of railways in the Ottoman Empire altered spatial practices in western Anatolia and facilitated the rise of emergent practices ranging from tourism to archaeology.  She is also the assistant director of a field project in Armenia\, the Ararat Plain Southeast Archaeological Project\, where she is currently researching human and nonhuman mobilities of the South Caucasus during the early modern and modern eras.
