Welcome to old students, some of whom go back more than a decade, and to new ones.

This course opens on Jan 3, 2021, and is ongoing. You can subscribe month to month, or for a discount, annually.

Here's what you get access to with your subscription:

• information from my current research, including books or articles I'm reading or writing;

• photo essays with commentary on archaeological, historic or modern images;

• links to articles on new finds or developments in archaeology and other fields;

• discussion of these, and of topics that participants introduce (within the broad spectrum of women's history, spiritual heritages, patriarchy and colonialism).

Our first visual webcast in 2021 is Anadolu, on ancient Anatolia. Female icons from 7th millennium bce to the bronze age, Hittite, Phrygian, Lydian goddesses and women; Wurusemu, Kybele / Matar Kubileya, Hepat, Upis / Artemis Ephesia, Nemesis.

The livecast is over, but you can view the recording via the link posted in the Anatolia section of the course.

The February livecast is Kemet Before Pharaohs: Predynastic Egypt, with two showings: Thurs 11 Feb (6:30 pm California time) and Sat 13 Feb (noon Calfornia time).

I offer two live showings of each monthly visual talk to accommodate timezones: a weeknight at 6:30pm and Sat or Sun at noon, both US Pacific time. The livecasts are date / time specific, so check a time-converter to get your local equivalent. (If you are in Australia or Hong Kong, for example, the date will shift to the day after the announced date, because of the international dateline.)

If you can't make either of the livecast date-times, I post a link to the recording on zoom after the second livecast showing. The recording remains available for at least a month (my cloud storage there is limited, so be sure to watch within that range). It may remain up longer, but I can't guarantee it.

By subscribing to this course, you agree not to share webcast links with non-subscribers.
