SUMMARY:The Phoenician City of La Fonteta\, Guardamar\, Spain
DESCRIPTION:The Phoenician city of La Fonteta\, Guardamar\, Spain \nDr. Alberto J. Lorrio\, Dr. Mariano Torres\, and Ester López Rosendo \nLa Fonteta is a site of urban character dated in the Early Iron Age (8th-6th centuries BC). It is placed on a coastal promontory next to the mouth of the river Segura. Archaeological excavations carried out from 1996-2002 and then from 2018-2019 have provided a settlement sequence from the late 8th to the third quarter of the 6th century BC. The earliest phases of the site show heavy craft and metallurgy activity\, besides houses of several rooms built with clay and mudbrick walls organized in an urban layout. A strong defensive system was built c. 600 BC and a new urban layout. The houses of this new phase show one or two rooms\, although some of them are more complex. There were open areas between these buildings with worship areas\, communal bread ovens\, and garbage dumps. La Fonteta also was an important port which funneled a heavy trading activity\, as evidenced by the rich material culture attested\, with a varied assemblage of pottery with several types and origins\, a heavy manufacturing of metallic items\, as well as prestige goods\, some of the very exotic such as ostrich eggs\, ivory items\, necklace beads\, or scarabs. \n \n \n \nLecture hosted by Friends of AIA-New York. \nFor more information and free publications about the site of La Fonteta\, visit: https://ovc.gva.es/es/estudis-i-publicacions/estudis-i-publicacions.

SUMMARY:Imagining a Greek Home for an Egyptian Goddess: Time\, Landscape\, and Architecture in Greek Sanctuaries to Isis presented by Dr. Lindsey Mazurek
DESCRIPTION:When Isis first arrived on Greek shores in the 3rd century BCE\, her new followers had to build sanctuaries appropriate to an Egyptian goddess. In the process of imagining a place for their Greek Isis to dwell\, devotees came up with a wide range of eclectic solutions that intertwined local needs\, imperialist fantasy\, and fantastical chronology. These sanctuaries do not draw from contemporaneous Egyptian art and architecture\, but rather from Greek stereotypes about Egypt and the Nile River. Isis’ Greek temples\, I argue\, allowed Greek devotees to imagine Egypt in a way that responded to their own experiences as provincial subjects of the Roman Empire. \nI begin with a brief overview of Isis’ and Sarapis cults’ arrival in Greece in the early Hellenistic period. Then\, I turn to literary evidence\, in which Greco-Roman authors from Herodotus to Pliny the Younger characterize Egypt as a timeless and strange place and highlight its unique flora and fauna. I next trace the popularity of these ideas in wall paintings and mosaics\, where depictions of the Nile convey ideas of otherness and imperial control. I conclude by discussing the sanctuaries of the Egyptian gods at Marathon and Gortyna. The sanctuary at Marathon combines imaginative architecture that resembles Pharaonic Egyptian temples\, archaizing sculpture that evoked a timeless Greco-Egyptian past\, and a riverine setting that recalled the Nile Delta. At Gortyna\, the sanctuary includes both an underground water crypt that echoed the Nilometers used to measure the river’s annual flood and cattle statuettes that personified the river’s waters. Taken together\, this evidence suggests that Greek devotees used sanctuary spaces to explore Greek conceptions of Egypt as an imagined\, far-off\, and ancient place that they could control in much the same way that Rome controlled and imagined Greece.
