The Basket-maker, the Sex Worker, the Servant, and the Archaeologist: 9,000 Years of City Life

Stories of four ordinary women working in four great cities, separated by thousands of years and thousands of kilometers.

Archaeology often explores the lives of great warriors, queens, and philosophers. But the most interesting stuff happens in the kitchens and back alleys. Join me for a virtual lecture with San Francisco’s wonderful science & history series Odd Salon for stories about four ordinary women who lived in four ancient cities that defined the modern world.
