ASOR ANNUAL MEETING

The Joy Ungerleider Poster Award Spotlight: Rachel Banks, Cassandra M. DeGaglia, Amy Dixon, Kara Larson, and James W. Hardin

Rachel Banks (Mississippi State University), Cassandra M. DeGaglia (Mississippi State University; Smithsonian Institution), Amy Dixon (Mississippi State University), Kara Larson (University of Michigan; Cobb Institute of Archaeology) and James W. Hardin (Mississippi State University) were awarded the 2020 Joy Ungerleider Poster Award. This award is conferred upon the author(s) of the poster presenting the results of a study about ancient Near Eastern societies in a clear, legible fashion using original graphic content. Subject matter may be based in archaeological sciences, history, anthropology, epigraphy, ethnography, heritage or other scholarly approaches to understanding ancient people in the areas covered by ASOR.

Their poster The Spaces Between: Spatial Reconstruction of a Proposed Iron Age IIB Domestic House at Tel Halif, Israel, present a visually clear, compelling and detailed study of the artifacts from several excavation areas with fragmentary architectural remains in order to reconstruct their likely function. These areas had been so badly damaged during a significant destruction of the site that they were excluded from initial considerations of this period. By comparing the composition of the artifact assemblage from these spaces with those from Iron Age IIB domestic structures in better-understood areas of the site, they are able to convincingly propose a likely domestic function for these spaces. In doing so, they contribute to a better understanding of household archaeology and urban organization at the site of Tel Halif during the Iron Age IIB.

The deadline for submitting a poster proposal for the 2021 Annual Meeting is August 15, 2021. Learn how to submit your poster to either the in-person, virtual, or both components here.
