DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, the undisturbed burial of an Iron Age Saka youth was
  discovered in East Kazakhstan. Furnished with astounding gold grave goods
 \, it is only the second undisturbed burial of its kind to have been disco
 vered on the territory of Kazakhstan. The inhumation was removed as a comp
 lete block\, and brought to the East Kazakhstan Regional Museum of Local H
 istory to be excavated in minute detail. It is currently on display at the
  Fitzwilliam Museum as part of the Gold of the Great Steppe exhibition. Ex
 cavations are ongoing\, and are funded by the East Kazakhstan regional gov
 ernment\, making the museum a hub for the processing and dissemination of 
 archaeological information. This talk will explore how new discoveries of 
 international importance have changed museum practice\, how the museum is 
 navigating the relationship between active archaeological material and exi
 sting collections\, and how very new information is made accessible to bot
 h a local and international audience.\n\nThis seminar will be given in Rus
 sian\, with live translation. The webinar format will be used to enable th
 e translation function to be enabled.\n\nRegister at: https://cam-ac-uk.zo
