Seminar: Art History and Archaeology
A few weeks ago I met Prof. Ana María Fernández Garcia, the Chair of the Art History Department at the University of Oviedo. She suggested that it might sometime be possible for me to give a seminar paper at the Uni on Art History and Archaeology. While it is by no means clear if she will be able arrange this, I got excited about the prospect and went ahead and wrote my paper, which I am now posting on this website. (As I will give this paper, if I do give it, in Spanish, I wrote it a paragraph at a time in English and then translated that into Spanish; after I finished doing that, I realized that I hadn’t kept an English version of the paper, so I retro-translated it back into English, which explains the somewhat awkward language!)

Thanks for posting this talk.
A CASE OF MOO-STAKEN IDENTITY. “Look, dad! Painted cows!”
I AGREE: “It seems difficult for many people to understand the simple fact that, in the absence of any written documentation or oral histories, we simply cannot know what those functions were.”

Thanks, Ernie. “Moo-staken” haha. I don’t know if I will ever give this lecture, but I am glad that you had the chance to read it!
