DESCRIPTION:-------- WEDS TALKS: DŌTAKU RECONSIDERED: SKEUOMORPHISM, SIZE\
 , AND VALUE IN  YAYOI PERIOD JAPAN [1] -----------------------------------
 -----------\n\n**\n\n*ABSTRACT**:* Over 500 dōtaku (銅鐸) bronze bell-shaped
  objects,  traditionally dated to the late-middle Yayoi until the beginni
 ngs of the  Kofun period (ca. 200 BCE-250 CE), have been excavated predom
 inately from the  central Kinki region of the Japanese archipelago. Howeve
 r, this number does  not include so-called “small dōtaku” (小銅鐸) or potter
 y miniatures  (銅鐸形土製品), seldom included in analyses of larger examples.  
 Adopting a macroscopic geographic and chronological perspective on a  hist
 orically circumscribed topic, this presentation and (re)considers dōtaku 
  of all sizes and materials within the framework of early East Asian  skeu
 omorphism, as related to the development of the broader Bronze Age  econo
 my.\n\n*BIO: *Kirie Stromberg completed her PhD at the Cotsen Institute of
   Archaeology at UCLA in 2023 and currently serves as the Rand Postdoctora
 l  Fellow in Asian Studies at Pomona College. She was a recipient of the U
 S  Department of Education Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research A
 broad  fellowship for her dissertation (“Music and Political Authority in 
 Early  China and Japan: Pre- and Protohistory”), for which she was was ba
 sed at  Kyushu University in Itoshima, Japan. Her work elucidates the rel
 ationship  between musical material culture and the formation of complex s
 ociety across  early East Asia. She is currently writing the first monogra
 ph in a Western  language about Yayoi period (ca. 900 BCE-250 CE) dōtaku b
 ronze bells, as  well as their reception in medieval and early modern Jap
 an.\n\nDate: Wednesday, May 13, 2026 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
