DESCRIPTION:The Department of Anthropology presents a colloquium series tal
 k by Elizabeth Wahab\, Society of Fellows Postdoctoral Scholar in Archaeolo
 gy at Boston University\, titled “Of ‘Storied’ Pots and Their Unknown Potte
 rs: The Organization of Craft Production in Ancient Igbo Ukwu (9th-15th Cen
 tury CE)\, Southeastern Nigeria." \n\nBy the start of the first millennium 
 CE\, West Africa experienced major social\, economic\, and political shifts
  driven by multiple factors\, including reconfigurations of trade networks\
 , population growth and urbanization\, and technological change. The 1st - 
 2nd millennium CE is also significant for the intensification of craft prod
 uction across the region\, resulting in diverse material expressions across
  West Africa. This talk examines pottery production at ancient Igbo Ukwu (9
 th–15th Century CE)\, one of the most prominent archaeological sites in Wes
 t Africa\, underscoring the material and technological strategies employed 
 by potters in this ancient society. By focusing on pottery production techn
 ologies and use patterns at Igbo Ukwu\, this talk demonstrates how the orga
 nization of pottery production in this ancient society advances knowledge o
 f craft organization and socioeconomies in ancient West Africa.\n\nElizabet
 h Wahab is a Society of Fellows Postdoctoral Scholar in Archaeology at Bost
 on University. Elizabeth studies technology\, craft production\, and sociop
 olitical organization in ancient West African societies to further understa
 nding of West Africa’s engagement in globalization processes and the enduri
 ng impact of these histories.
