Join us for the **grand finale** of our Spring Archaeology Series — as we cross the frontier, quite literally.

**Professor Asa Eger (UNC–Greensboro)** presents: *“Spaces Between the Teeth: Settlements on the Islamic Frontier”* 📅 **May 6, 2026 — Wednesday, 6:00 PM** Travel across the Islamic–Byzantine frontier of the 7th–10th centuries, from Antakya, Tarsus, and Malatya to the Byzantine landscapes of Cappadocia. Discover how early frontiers were shaped not by walls and castles, but by open, interconnected cities — and how those same spaces later hardened into fortresses after the Crusader era. 🍽️ Our Silk Road–inspired finale menu features spiced **suçuk bites**, a rich spread of regional dishes, and **honey‑drenched baklava**. History, food, and culture at the legendary **Cilician Gates** — a fitting close to our journey across millennia. 👉 **Buy Your Ticket** https://sancar.org/event/spaces-between-the-teeth 🔗 General Admission: **$65** Students: **FREE** (w/student email) Ticket sales end **May 4 at 6:00 PM** Bring a friend and celebrate the finale with us. 🎟️ **Ticket System:** General Admission guests receive one premium beverage ticket, redeemable for a curated glass of wine or a non‑alcoholic specialty drink.
