Simon Martin, Associate Curator, American Section, and one of the foremost experts on Maya writing and history, summarizes his work on hieroglyphs of Calakmul, Mexico, the largest city in Classic Maya civilization, and provides details on some of the new finds that are shedding light on the social, cultural and political development there. Dr. Lauren Ristvet, Dyson Chair and Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology, talks about Penn Museum's excavations in Azerbaijan (the first American excavations in that country) at the ancient fortress site of Oglanqala, inhabited between 1200 and 200 BCE.
