RSVP HERE<https://uci.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5-uLZ2lQR3WUSqz6a6wL3g>

For the first Lunchtime Lecture of the 2021-22 academic year,  Nicola Lercari, Associate Professor of World Heritage at UC Merced<https://www.ucmerced.edu/content/nicola-lercari>, will present his talk, “Modeling the Neolithic: 3D Simulation, Knowledge Representation, and Toolmaking (Theirs and Ours).”

This talk explores crucial digital humanities concerns about simulating the past in 3D, curating digital data, and producing knowledge digitally. Prof. Lercari examines these topics by presenting results, DH tools, and digital collections developed over a decade of work at the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük (7100-5600 BCE, present-day Turkey).

The discussion will critically engage with the role of computational thinking and knowledge representation applied to several digital case studies from Çatalhöyük to answer the following questions: What is the power of visualizing the past for the 3D simulation’s users? How can we ensure public participation in producing knowledge on archaeological/cultural heritage using digital technology? How can we prevent the loss of knowledge of the ancient world due to the lack of publication and preservation of primary archaeological and cultural heritage data?

For the past few years, in collaboration with UCI Libraries<https://www.lib.uci.edu/>, Dr. Straughn has led multiple cohorts of undergrads in his Egyptomania course in the development of a digital collection of 300 vintage, early 20th-century postcards depicting ancient Egyptian archaeological heritage, using the Omeka-S<https://omeka.org/s/> platform. Dr. Straughn will discuss his digital pedagogy and partnership with UCI Libraries as well as showcase the Egyptomania digital project.
