- Lecture-Recent Discoveries at Sardis: From the Bronze Age to the End of Antiquity
Sardis was one of the most important ancient cities of western Turkey-it was the birthplace of coinage, capital of the Lydian king Croesus, and site of one of the Seven Churches of Asia. In this biennial lecture, director Nicholas Cahill, professor of art history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and director of the Sardis expedition, will present new discoveries, research, and conservation projects of 2018-19. He will share new evidence for occupation in the Early Bronze Age, almost a millennium earlier than previously believed; the remains of the Palace of Croesus and the capture of Sardis by Cyrus the Great; the largest arch in the Roman world; and information about patronage in the sixth century CE.

Work by the Archaeological Exploration of Sardis is authorized by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism and has been sponsored by Harvard University and Cornell University since 1958. Current conservation work at Sardis is also supported by an award provided by the U.S. Government, Department of State, U.S. Embassy Ankara. This biennial lecture series presents the latest research from the site to the Harvard and greater Boston communities.
Lecture Note: Prof. Paul Kosmin states that Nick Cahill became director of Sardis following the death of Director Crawford H. Greenewalt, jr. Prof. Greenewalt, jr. passed away in May of 2012, a few years after Nick Cahill had become director of the Sardis expedition in 2008.

thank you
exciting to hear so many discoveries and developments since I first heard of projects at Sardis in Classical Archaeology with David Mitten in 1967-8 at the beautiful old Fogg
Extremely interesting and well presented. Makes me want to visit the site

Ugh! This guy trips over his own mouth a lot. Makes it difficult to keep listening. He needs to slow down and practice his material more before presenting.
