In this one-time lesson, we will learn about the origins of the domesticated cat, starting with its origins in prehistory and following our feline friend throughout history. We will take a special look at cats in Egypt as they held a prominent place. We will follow our sweet felines’ travels throughout the world (Middle East, Asia, Europe) and look at various breeds. This class is purr-fect for cat lovers! I begin the class by asking the learners what they know about cats, or what the questions are that they may have. We begin our lesson by looking at a map and the countries where early evidence for cats was found. I base my lessons on scholarly and archaeological publications to show the learners the evidence and facts that scientists have gathered so far, and I use a number of slides from my own collection or from archaeological excavations and museum collections. Early evidence for the presence of cats in human settlements comes from bones excavated in and around the settlements, or from cats buried with their human companions. We discuss the presence of cats in Egypt and look at wall paintings and even cat mummies! Our lesson takes us to other countries where cats travelled – from Greece to Italy, Asia, and even Scandinavia. Again, we look at archaeological, artistic and literary evidence, and multiple perspectives are presented and discussed. A ten-minute block is reserved at the end of the presentation for the learners to ask any questions that they may have, and they will be encouraged to introduce their precious cats to the group! Throughout the class, we will ask the following questions: • What does the archaeological record tell us? • Who are the relatives of the domesticated cat? • How do we interpret the archaeological material? • Can there be more than one theory? • What cultures embraced our furry friends? • How is the cat represented in art? • Who mummified cats? The students will be encouraged to look, question, and draw and share their conclusions just as archaeologists and scientists do, based on the physical and artistic evidence presented.

I will present the class material through the use of slides, both from my own collection and from archaeological excavations and museum collections. The idea for this class is based on a student request and a book entitled "A Cat's Tale" by Paul Koudounaris and Baba the Cat; the author has kindly given me permission to use his wonderful illustrations.
The learner will look at the archaeological material and learn how to interpret it, and discover that evidence can lead to different opinions. In order to refine our understanding of the topic, ancient literary and artistic sources, for example Egyptian wall paintings, will be used to support the many theories surrounding the origins and the role of cats in the ancient world. We will also look at ancient texts and maps in order to decipher and understand what ancient people communicated. The goal is to show learners how to use all this evidence in order to learn about the origins of our furry friends.
As an archaeologist, I base my classes on scholarly texts, scientific secondary sources such as textbooks, scholarly journals (Archaeology Magazine, National Geographic, etc.), and archaeological reports, while keeping it age appropriate. I also use primary sources, for example Homer, English translations of Egyptian hieroglyphs, Latin texts, etc. Other visuals than my own are drawn from sites such as Open Licensed Images, Ancient World Image Bank, World History Encyclopedia, the New York Public Library Digital Collection, and Public Domain Pictures. All sites allow for free use of images, with credits.
Learners do not need to access any sites during class.

I am a trained archaeologist, and I excavated at sites such as Mytilene and Kommos in Greece for many field seasons. I have travelled extensively through Europe, and I have taught Greek and Roman art, archaeology and mythology at Concordia University, Montréal. I held a position at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada, where I created and led tours for children on the topics of Greek, Roman and Egyptian archaeology, the Medieval period, dinosaurs and natural history. More recently, I have taught labs on water science and solar energy to Kindergarten and Grade 1 students through Scientists in School. Since July 2021, I have had the pleasure of teaching many archaeology and ancient civilizations classes on Outschool. レビュー
