SUMMARY:Research Explorations - Dr. Brent Woodfill presents  "Thinking about Missing Things: Archaeological Investigations in the Maya World"
DESCRIPTION:Archaeologists rely on physical things to build their models 
 and interpretations of ancient activities and ways of life—potsherds\, 
 arrowheads\, pyramids\, and human skeletal remains.  But what about the 
 impermanent and transient parts of our existence?  I began my career 
 working in caves in the Maya world—sacred spaces where supplicants and 
 ritual specialists squeezed\, climbed\, and swum by torchlight in order to 
 leave ritual offerings to deities\, the ancestors\, and the caves 
 themselves.  Since 2010\, my work has focused on a major producer of salt 
 in the interior lowlands—a massive city sprawling over 30 square miles 
 that produced thousands of tons a year for several thousand years.  In both 
 cases\, though\, the object of my research—the bodies and beliefs of 
 people long dead and a volatile\, water soluble mineral—have long since 
 disappeared.  As a result\, I have to take several additional steps before 
 I can actually “see” any of these things.  The problems\, process\, and 
 possibilities of these investigations will be the focus of this talk.
