SUMMARY:Roman Britain: Romans at the Edge of Empire
DESCRIPTION:Follow in the footsteps of the ancient Romans in Britain as you venture north from Chester\, England\, to Edinburgh\, Scotland\, with a foray along Hadrian’s Wall\, which was famously constructed ca. A.D. 122 along the northwest frontier of the Roman Empire. Experience a world at the edge of the Empire and amidst the natural beauty of old medieval towns\, verdant countryside\, and the scenic Lake District\, discovering for yourself the remains of formerly vibrant Roman forts and towns\, museum collections of fascinating Roman artifacts\, and Rome’s influence on the Britain of today. \nHighlights:\n•Visit two sites that comprise the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Frontiers of the Roman Empire”: Vindolanda\, not only one of Europe’s most important Roman sites but also where your AIA lecturer/host has been doing fieldwork since 2002; and Arbeia Roman Fort\, which was a key supply base to Hadrian’s Wall.\n•Take a walking tour of the 1st-century A.D. Roman fortress-town of Chester\, home to the most complete ancient city walls in Britain as well as Britain’s largest Roman amphitheater.\n•Explore the bustling lanes of York\, which was established as a Roman garrison town in A.D. 71 and went on to be a Viking stronghold and prosperous medieval city.\n•Drive though the breathtaking English Lake District\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site\, including a cruise excursion on Lake Windermere\, England’s largest lake; and a stop at Castlerigg Stone Circle\, which is one of the earliest Neolithic stone circles in Britain.\n•Walk the streets of the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh\, including the historic Royal Mile and Calton Hill\, which was considered Edinburgh’s version of Athens’ Acropolis in the 19th century\, and are altogether a UNESCO World Heritage Site.\n•Marvel at museum collections showcasing spectacular Roman finds and more\, including the Yorkshire Museum and Gardens; Great North Museum: Hancock\, whose collections include carved and inscribed stones from Hadrian’s Wall\, among many other treasures; Vindolanda’s nearby Roman Army Museum; and Edinburgh’s National Museum of Scotland.

SUMMARY:In the Shadow of the Palace: The non-elite community of Deir el-Ballas as revealed by the settlement remains and tombs
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, and the UC Berkeley Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures invite you to attend a Zoom lecture by Dr. Victoria Jensen\, UC Berkeley:\nIn the Shadow of the Palace: The non-elite community of Deir el-Ballas as revealed by the settlement remains and tombs \nSunday\, June 22\, 2025\, 3 PM PDT\nThis virtual lecture will be recorded for later posting on the chapter’s YouTube channel. \nRegister in advance for this lecture:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/…/register/Mr2bNJKXQu2YtfoJt4pTLw\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nThere are a few things you should know before you join the lecture:\n* Advance registration is required. When you click on the link to “Register in advance for this lecture” you will receive instructions by email on how and when to join\, along with a link on which you will click to join the meeting. Save the email\, as you will need the link it contains to join the meeting. Please register now. Please do not share the join link with anyone\, it is unique to your email address. Try to join at least 10 minutes before the meeting. When you do join the meeting\, be prepared to be put in the waiting room until the lecture starts at 3 pm. This is a security measure.\n* If you haven’t already installed Zoom\, I recommend that you download and install the Zoom program (app) well before you try to join the meeting. There IS an option to use your web browser to join the meeting instead of the Zoom program\, but the browser interface is limited and depends greatly on what browser and what operating system you’re using.\n* For tutorials on how to use Zoom\, go to https://learn-zoom.us/show-me. In particular\, “Joining a Zoom Meeting” should show you what you need to do to join our lecture.\n* All meeting attendees can communicate with everyone\, or with individual participants\, using the chat window\, which can be opened by clicking on the chat button and which you can probably find at the bottom middle of your Zoom viewing screen. Participants will be encouraged to hold their questions for the speaker until after the lecture\, and will also be encouraged to address their questions for the speaker to everyone\, not just to the speaker\, so that all can see them. “Everyone” is the default chat option.\nIf you have any questions\, please email arcencZoom@gmail.com. \nAbout the Lecture:\nThe site of Deir el-Ballas played a major role in the birth of the New Kingdom as a royal campaign headquarters of the Theban kings during their ultimately successful wars to expel the Hyksos. For several generations afterwards (c. 1550-1450 BC)\, a non-elite population lived in the shadow of the abandoned palace in this provincial town. Deir el-Ballas was excavated on behalf of the University of California in 1900-1901 by George Reisner under the sponsorship of Phoebe Apperson Hearst\, but was never published. Drawing on archival research and examination of hundreds of artifacts from the site that are held in the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology at UC Berkeley\, Jensen has reconstructed the excavations of the Hearst Expedition at the site\, particularly the cemeteries. Her research examines the community’s funerary practices and considers the cultural memory the residents held of their town’s illustrious past. \nAbout the Speaker:\nVictoria Jensen is a Senior Research Scholar in the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at the University of California\, Berkeley. She is a past President of the Northern California Chapter of ARCE. Victoria earned her B.A. in Political Science and M.A. in International Relations at the University of Chicago and had a career in grant administration before returning to graduate school to pursue a Ph.D. in Egyptology at the University of California Berkeley\, which she received in 2019. Her dissertation research has just been published as a two-volume monograph in the Harvard Egyptological Studies series\, entitled “The Phoebe A. Hearst Expedition to Deir el-Ballas: The non-elite cemeteries of the 17th–19th Dynasties.” \nAbout ARCE-NC:\nFor more information\, please visit https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaArce\, https://arce-nc.org/\, or http://khentiamentiu.org.
