Travel back in time with Professor Robert Koehl as he surveyed animal-shaped vases from their earliest appearance in the Neolithic Near East to their appearance in the Philistine culture of Iron Age Israel. In the course of this illustrated lecture, Koehl examined the animal-shaped vases from the Bronze Age Aegean and the Near East, and offer suggestions regarding their meaning and function within those societies: who used them, how they were used, when, and why.
The event concluded with a live, virtual, Q&A.
