Carlos Museum Reception Hall, Emory University. The lecture is sponsored by The Department of Middle Eastern & South Asian Studies, The Program in Mediterranean Archaeology, The Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University, Tam Institute of Jewish Studies at Emory University, and American Schools of Oriental Research.

Personally I’d prefer to attend a lecture about dessert and ancient Israel, but this should prove to be interesting nevertheless. Definitely consider attending the lecture if you’re in the Atlanta area on next Tuesday.
