Friends of ASOR present the next webinar in the 2023-2024 season on May 9th, 2024, at 3:00 pm EST, presented by Dr. Allison Thomason. We are all sensing people, and the basic physical structure of our sensing organs has not changed for many thousands of years. But how did ancient humans perceive and experience sensory stimuli in their environment differently than we do today? In this lecture, Dr. Thomason, a specialist in ancient Mesopotamian material culture, explores how ancient Mesopotamian perceptions of sensory experiences can be compared to our own modern ones.
This webinar will be recorded and all paid registrants will be sent a link to view the recording.
