CCU Ethno-archaeologist Gives Talk On Child Sacrifice [Coastal Carolina University]

Sharon Moses, an ethno-archaeologist on the Coastal Carolina University faculty, will give a talk titled "Baby's Breath to God's Ears: Child Sacrifice in the Ancient World" at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 14.

The talk, sponsored by the Waccamaw Chapter of the Archaeological Society of South Carolina (ASSC), will be held in the E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration building, Room 225, on the CCU campus. The event is free and open to the public.

Moses' presentation is based on research she has conducted on child sacrifice in ancient times. Her studies have taken her to the site of a Neolithic settlement in Turkey, believed to be a cult site, where she examined children's in-house burials and sacred spaces. Her research encompasses a range of ethno-archeological topics: the symbolism of ancient rituals life, identity formation, the details of children's material culture and the ethnography of descendent communities.

Moses has also worked on sites in Greece, Mesoamerica and Maine. She was awarded a National Science Foundation Fellowship for her research using non-Western models of interpretation.

Moses earned a Ph.D. in anthropology from Cornell University, master's degrees from Cornell University and the University of Montana, and a bachelor's degree from the University of Montana.

Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
God says, “Out on Highway 61”

She’s probably upset about the monkey butt. And the Spartans didn’t chuck out the chicks.
