The adoption of first domesticates, such as rice and swine, was not only an economic breakthrough, but resonated across the realms of the social, political, and symbolic life of the community.<br><br>Panelist/Speaker: Junko Habu, University of California, Berkeley<br>"Jomon Food Diversity and Long-term Sustainability: Lessons from Prehistoric Japan"<br>This presentation focuses on the mechanisms of settlement growth and decline in complex hunter-gatherer societies of prehistoric Japan. Early and Middle Jomon (ca. 6000=4000 years ago) archaeological data from northern Japan indicate that the loss of food diversity and an expansion of the scale of society may have negatively affected long-term sustainability of prehistoric hunter-gatherer societies. Through an examination of this case study, it is argued that archaeology is critical in our understanding of long-term human-environmental interactions. <br><br>Panelist/Speaker: Lisa Janz, University of Arizona<br>"Dune-Dwellers: Post-Glacial Hunter-Gatherers and Early Herders in Mongolia"<br>New analysis of old archaeological collections from the Gobi Desert indicate that following the last Ice Age, between about 8000 to 3000 years ago, hunter-gatherers began to intensively occupy and exploit dune-field/wetland environments across the arid steppes and deserts of Northeast Asia. This oasis adaptation overlaps with the Early Bronze Age and the rise of nomadic pastoralism in Mongolia. Several intriguing clues suggest that dune-dwelling hunter-gatherers may also have been the first herders, raising questions about their relationship with neighboring agriculturalist and pastoralist groups.<br><br>Panelist/Speaker: Seungki Kwak, University of Washington<br>"Tracing prehistoric subsistence: Application of Organic Geochemistry Analyses on Potsherds from Ancient Korean Peninsula"<br>This study attempts to understand prehistoric human subsistence in Korean peninsula using organic geochemistry analyses on potsherds. Organic geochemistry Analyses has contributed to archaeology in various cases including ceramic studies since its initial application. While other approaches are focusing on reconstructing the ancient pot function such as use-wear analysis and ethnographic studies, organic geochemistry analyses on archaeological ceramics endeavor to be precise about types of food groups that was cooked or stored within a pot by attempting to isolate and identify the specific organic compounds trapped in the fabric of its wall. Since organic compounds are often preserved in direct association with archaeological ceramics, organic geochemistry analyses have become an important method of investigation which archaeologists use to better understand the function of ceramic artifacts and local diets. If we conduct these analyses on the pottery from different locations, we will be able to understand past subsistence behaviors even in the absence of faunal or floral remains. The direct examination of the remains of resources in the Korean peninsula is limited to shell middens, because the high acidity of sediment does not allow long-term preservation of bone or plant remains. Therefore, organic geochemistry analyses could be the most suitable method in this setting. This research will provide a unique chance to understand ancient subsistence through the direct examination of potteries: the most wide-spread material culture in the prehistoric Korea.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#4D5963'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Event Contact: <span style='color:#4D5963'><a href="mailto:ieas@berkeley.edu"><span style='color:#03959C;text-decoration:none'>ieas@berkeley.edu</span></a>, </span>510-642-2809</span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>_________________________________________________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>“</span></b><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Poetry (Shi)</span></b><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>”</span></b><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>: Screening of a South Korean Film by Lee Chang-dong<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Film - Feature | May 1 | 6 p.m. | <span style='color:#4D5963'><a href="http://www.berkeley.edu/map/3dmap/3dmap.shtml?athletic"><span style='color:#03959C;text-decoration:none'>Institute of East Asian Studies (2223 Fulton, 6th Floor)</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Film Introduced by</span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> <b>Jinsoo An</b>, Assistant Professor, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, UC Berkeley<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Sponsor: <span style='color:#4D5963'><a href="http://ieas.berkeley.edu/cks"><span style='color:#03959C;text-decoration:none'>Center for Korean Studies (CKS)</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#4D5963'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>South Korean film “Poetry” (Lee Chang-dong, 2010) is an exquisite portrayal of woman’s brave fight against Alzheimer’s, and against her guilt over her grandson’s brutal crime. Mija, played by Yun Jung-hee, is an aging part-time maid and full-time guardian of her apathetic grandson. Concerned by her frequent forgetfulness, she takes a poetry class at the local arts center to sharpen her mind. She begins to appreciate the wonders of the natural world, but a schoolgirl’s suicide initiates a chain of tragic events that will change her life forever.
