SUMMARY:Spooky Archaeology: Myth and the Science of the Past
DESCRIPTION:The first presentation in the AIA Dayton 2026-27 Lecture Series presented by Dr. Jeb Card\, Associate Teaching Professor in Anthropology at Miami University\, Oxford\, Ohio. \nOutside of scientific journals\, archaeologists are depicted as searching for lost cities and mystical artifacts in news reports\, television\, video games\, and movies like Indiana Jones or The Mummy. This fantastical image has little to do with day-to-day science\, yet it is deeply connected to why people are fascinated by the ancient past. People today continue to find the mystical and archaeology and have a fascination with exotic artifacts and eerie practices. Exploring the development of archaeology helps us understand what archaeology is and why it matters. In this presentation by Jeb J. Card\, the audience will follow a trail of clues left by adventurers and professional archaeologists through haunted museums\, mysterious hieroglyphic inscriptions\, fragments of a lost continent that never existed\, and deep into an investigation of magic and murder. \nThis lecture is scheduled to take place in person in the Science Center Auditorium (SC 114) at The University of Dayton. \nFor a campus map with building and parking information visit https://udayton.edu/map/

SUMMARY:Medicalized technologies: ingredient patterns in ancient Egyptian therapeutic recipes as informants on food processing diversity
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, and the UC Berkeley Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures (MELC) invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Jonathan (Jonny) Russell\, Brown University: \n“Medicalized technologies: ingredient patterns in ancient Egyptian therapeutic recipes as informants on food processing diversity” \nFriday October 23\, 2026\, 4 PM Pacific Daylight Time\nNote the time and day change!!!\nMELC Lounge/Rm 254 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\, UC Berkeley \nThis is a hybrid lecture\, both in-person and virtual (Zoom). The lecture will not be recorded.\nMELC is not requiring registration\, so to attend this lecture\, click on the following join link at the time of the lecture:\nhttps://berkeley.zoom.us/j/2071243853?pwd=1dq3SwaoPnJCLGwKQs1sbTLG4Nobd0.1 \nAbout the Lecture: \nMuch has been written on ancient Egyptian food processing technologies\, especially in the domains of brewing and baking (for which Samuel 2000 remains a valued survey). Certain aspects of these technologies\, such as the varieties of yeast cultures used\, remain somewhat elusive. Others\, such as milk processing\, have received little to no attention. These lacunae are\, in many cases\, the result of the kinds of source material commonly consulted to elucidate ancient processes – tomb depictions and archaeological remains being chief among them. Notably\, medical texts list a wealth of food or food-adjacent products as ingredients in medicinal recipes but have been less appreciated in understanding food processing. The many constellations of ingredients are\, after all\, notoriously challenging if not impossible to translate\, and modern analyses are often mired by a compulsion to identify pharmacological activity as the primary motivation for their initial selection. \nThis lecture takes a fresh look at these problems. It will first explore a sample of representative manuscripts\, such as Papyrus Hearst (in Berkeley!)\, Ebers\, and a demotic manuscript in Vienna: all of which are compilations of recipes\, or “recipe compendia”. It will then examine the social and ritual contexts of the recipes recorded in these manuscripts\, to better understand both by and for whom the recipes were used. Following a careful analysis of recipe data\, the new hypothesis that many entries can be considered “medicalized” receptions of known processing technologies will be presented and explored. Focusing on recipes that manipulate brewing and cheese processing as case studies\, the lecture will demonstrate how aspects of these processes are “fossilized” in various ways within medicalized recipes. In addition to offering new insights into healing practices\, the presented results suggest more significant variety in food processing than presently assumed. \nAbout the Speaker: \nSince 2024\, Jonathan (Jonny) Russell has been assistant professor of Egyptology at Brown University\, where he teaches classes in ancient Egyptian history\, Middle and Late Egyptian\, hieratic\, and demotic\, as well as in Egyptian and Mesopotamian medicine and magic. Armed with a knowledge of Akkadian\, his research explores the similarities and differences in contents and social contexts of healing manuscripts from Egypt and Mesopotamia\, and how observations modify impressions of knowledge transmission across ancient communities in Northeast Africa and Western Asia. He is presently working on a monograph titled Variety and Versatility in Ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian Specialist Healing: A Comparative Study\, in addition to a new English-language anthology of therapeutic compendia from Middle Kingdom to Roman Period Egypt. \nJonny submitted his PhD thesis to Leiden University (The Netherlands) in 2023 – a project which was funded by the Dutch Scientific Research Organisation (NWO) and titled: Towards a Historical Contextualisation of Ancient Egyptian Perspectives of the Inner Body\, Sickness\, and Healing. Before coming to Brown\, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for the History of Pharmacy and Medicine at the Philipps-Universität Marburg (Germany)\, where he began exploring the intersections between food and therapeutic technologies. \nVisitor Parking: \nKeep in mind that restricted parking at UC Berkeley ends at 5 p.m. For Friday\, October 23\, 2026\, here are the best visitor-parking options near UC Berkeley’s Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall): Lower Sproul Parking Garage\, 2465 Bancroft Way; RSF Garage\, 2299 Bancroft Way.
