PAST LECTURES

April 20 at 7pm, Virtual Lecture A SNAPSHOT OF COLOMBIA: From the Cauca Valley to the Western Andes to the Amazon Basin
Colombia has the largest concentration of birds not only in the Americas, but in the world.There are at least 2000 species,and growing. It is also a very large country with an area the size of California and Texas combined. There is also a wide assortment of habitats. The three spines of the Andes through the country from south to north contribute to abundant speciation. Our Fall 2022 trip was our third time in the country. The first trip segment was to the west, the second segment the central valley and highlands, and the last trip segment was to Mitu in the far SE along the border with Brazil. This is the "white sands" - an artifact of a bygone era in Earth's geologic history before the Andes formed when this area was the Pacific coast. Geologically, it is very old. There are many ancient granitic exposures that are part of the Guina Shield - with some of the earliest rock and mineral deposits on the planet. Major river systems are found here that feed the mighty Amazon River. There is a wealth of species to be found if you are fortunate enough to visit between rains, like John did. Come join us for a lecture to learn about Colombia and its beautiful birds.

March 23 at 7pm: Virtual Lecture - Digging Into History: Intro to Archaeological Field Work of the Classical World presented by Bobby Gamba

This presentation shares the background and history of the two archaeological sites that Bobby has had the privilege of working on. He will share what his own experience was at the Campo della Fiera Field School in Orvieto, Italy in 2018, and his experience at the Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Archaeological Survey in 2022. At both locations Bobby worked as a Trench Assistant in the summer months under the direction of both American and local experts. The goal of this presentation is to demystify some of the work being done to research the ancient Mediterranean world, and share the challenges and benefits of working as an archaeologist in a different country.

About Our Speaker, Bobby Gamba
Bobby Gamba graduated in 2020 from the University of Arizona with a degree in classics and anthropology, with a focus on Classical Archaeology. He has field experience in both Italy and Greece, as well as anthropological research through the International Traditional Knowledge Institute in Tucson, Arizona, and Arcadia, Greece. He is currently a volunteer at MOAH as a docent, and works as a Collections Catalog Assistant at Filoli Historic House and Garden.
