SUMMARY:Oman & the UAE: Crossroads of the Indian Ocean & Arabian Gulf with optional\, pre-tour extension to Qatar!
DESCRIPTION:Delve into the cultural and geographical diversity of Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the company of seasoned study leader Trevor Marchand. Our custom-designed itinerary highlights ancient sites and historical monuments\, and helps illustrate how influential geography has been on the region’s history and how the region’s maritime history has linked it to elsewhere in Arabia and as far as Africa and southern Asia. Begin with three full days in the UAE. Still a little fishing village as of the 18th century\, Dubai was a center of pearl exports until the 1930s. Similarly\, Abu Dhabi was founded as a simple pearl and fishing village. After the discovery of oil in the Arabian Gulf\, Dubai became one of the wealthiest cities in the world\, and Abu\nDhabi was transformed into a luxurious modern metropolis and the capital of the UAE. But this region was settled many centuries earlier\, and we will observe how the old and the new co-exist in intriguing ways. Spend the balance of our time exploring Oman\, which dominated for centuries the maritime trade routes from Moorish Spain to Canton (modern-day Guangzhou\, China). Her seafaring merchants traded in such commodities of civilization as frankincense\, myrrh\, silk\, gold\, spices\, and coffee. Today\, Oman takes pride in sharing its rich history with visitors\, as demonstrated in its world-class museums. Altogether we will learn about these countries’ histories\, cultures\, art\, and architecture while witnessing their great geographical diversity\, from spectacular\ndeserts and wadis to pristine coastlines\, including a reserve for the endangered green sea turtle.

SUMMARY:Dressing for Death: How to make and wear ancient Egyptian flint bangles
DESCRIPTION:In-Person Lecture\nSaturday\, November 11 at 3:30pm\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Elizabeth Hart\, Lithic Specialist\, University of Vienna Middle Egypt Project; Kom el-Hisn Provincialism Project \nLecture Topic: Dressing for Death: How to make and wear ancient Egyptian flint bangles \nAbstract:\nAncient Egyptian flint bangles are practically unique in the world\, and they are significant for being an undeniable example of flaked-stone items made for symbolic uses. This paper explores how these bangles were made\, and their use as jewelry. Drawing on observations of ten examples from the Metropolitan Museum\, new data from the flint-mining site of Wadi el-Sheikh\, and an inventory of published examples\, this talk will consider their chronology\, how they were made\, and possible meanings of the bangles. Outlining the steps of bangle production highlights the skill of ancient Egyptian craftsmen. Furthermore\, an analysis of the find contexts and properties of the bangles forms the basis on an argument that the bangles were made specifically for the afterlife. Context data also provides insight into how they were worn\, and who wore them in terms of sex\, age\, and status. Finally\, this study suggests possible meanings of these delicate items that are a testament to the creativity and skill of Early Dynastic flaked-stone craftsmen. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Elizabeth Hart’s research focuses on understanding ancient economies. Looking beyond the grand temples and tombs of Ancient Egypt\, she became especially interested in settlement sites\, and what they can tell us about how ordinary ancient Egyptians lived their lives. She studies stone tools because they are particularly good at answering these questions about daily life along with broad questions about ancient economic change. Dr. Hart earned her PhD in Anthropological archaeology from the University of Virginia in 2017. She is the lithic specialist for a number of ongoing field projects in Egypt and has worked as an archaeologist in Egypt yearly since 2004\, at sites including Giza\, Abydos\, and the Valley of the Kings. Her research has been supported by grants from the University of Virginia\, the American Research Center in Egypt\, and the National Science Foundation. She has shared Egypt’s cultural heritage by teaching courses on Ancient Egypt at the University of Virginia and University of Michigan\, as a research fellow at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, as a Research Affiliate at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, by working for the non-profit organization the American Research Center in Egypt\, and through talks and publications for both academic and general audiences. \nLectures are FREE for ARCE members. For non-ARCE members admission is as follows: $10 general admissions; $7 for Penn Museum members\, Faculty & Staff; $5 for Students with ID (12 and under FREE).
