Former Fowler director and acclaimed archaeologist Christopher Donnan addresses the topic of his most recent book detailing the excavation of five extraordinary Moche tombs at Dos Cabezas, a site located about 300 miles northwest of Lima. Donnan will discuss his team's remarkable discovery of the stunning ceramics and metalwork that reveal aspects of Moche funerary practice and the sophistication, both artistic and technical, of the ancient civilization. A book signing/reception in the Fowler's courtyard follows the lecture.
