Gallery Talk: Hands on Ancient Carthage with Jim Richerson
AUG 16 | 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM​​​​​​
Hands On Ancient Carthage: Connections" is a PowerPoint Presentation about the creation of exhibitions at the National Museum of Carthage in Tunisia based on archaeological finds from numerous UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) excavations done there. From 1991 until 1994, Jim Richerson was a Fulbright Scholar living in Tunisia and assisting Tunisian colleagues with the development of that museum

Ancient Carthage had four major epochs, from the Punic (Phoenician) Period (814-146 BCE), through the Roman Period (1st c. BCE- 4th c. CE), through the Christian Period (4th c. CE - 6th c. CE.), and finally Carthage's Arab Period (6th c. CE onwards). Richerson was a museum specialist trained at the University of Chicago. He will share his story of his time there and the numerous inventive ways that they created exhibits. After three and half years working there Richerson was granted a study collection to take with him. For the audience, it will be a rare opportunity to handle (Hands On) excavated fragments from all the periods mentioned above. He will also share connections and parallels that he has found as he settles into his new home in the Temecula Valley.
