SUMMARY:"The Myth of Merit in Greek Aesthetic Thought" presented by Dr. Mary C. Danisi
DESCRIPTION:Fillets were long\, ritualized textile bands most familiar to Classicists in the form of victory ribbons conferred as prizes in poetic\, athletic\, and martial contests. Artistic renderings of the bands in more permanent forms of visual art\, such as in victor statues like Polykleitos’ Diadoumenos\, memorialized this symbolic capital of adornment with which Greeks distinguished the human beings\, animals\, and images representing the best in their class. To fillet\, and to be filleted in turn\, were competitive gestures residing at the heart of the circulation of honors undergirding the Greek agonistic economy of excellence. The fillet’s exercises in comparison thus made merit visible and knowable to beholders of sacred images that canonized their subjects’ accolades. By attending to formal developments in sculpture between the Archaic and Classical periods\, in which the representation of the fillet acquires greater visual prominence in the rendering of the human figure\, this talk addresses what we might call the “art of deservedness” during a critical transition moment in Greek contest culture. Since ancient authors regularly question the winner’s talent and the partiality of judges\, victory ribbons also expose the politics of ornamentation\, as well as the myths and other fictions operative in this uniquely Greek mechanism of producing and measuring relative and absolute value. By attending to which agents earned the privilege of wearing the bands and during which ritualized transactions\, we can discern those abstract concepts for which the Greeks were willing to compete at all costs. Fillets demonstrate that social economies of value were indeed artistic matters\, motivated by narratives of achievement and defeat then circulating on view within the community.

SUMMARY:Anita Krause Bader Lecture in Mediterranean Archaeology: "Building an Africani Community at Ostia: Diasporic Identity in the Square of the Corporations" presented by Dr. Lindsey A. Mazurek
DESCRIPTION:The Central Missouri Society of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA)\, in co-sponsorship with the University of Missouri\, is proud to present the annual Anita Krause Bader Lecture in Ancient Mediterranean Archaeology.\nLecturer: Dr. Lindsey A. Mazurek\, Associate Professor of Classical Studies at Indiana University Bloomington\nAbstract:\nPart of Rome’s main port city of Ostia Antica\, the Square of the Corporations (or Piazzale delle Corporazioni in Italian) was built in the reign of Hadrian on the site of an Augustan-period quadriporticus behind the city’s main theater. The U-shaped complex featured small offices decorated with mosaics that described the civic origins of their users\, all arranged around an open square that held a Flavian-period temple\, a garden\, and portraits. The offices housed various firms engaged in a range of trades that supported the city’s grain trade\, and featured mosaics and inscriptions that identified their occupants as migrants from across northern Africa and the western Mediterranean.\nIn this talk\, I examine this evidence to think about how the tradesmen of the Square of the Corporations identified themselves within this historical and archaeological context. The offices themselves\, I argue\, highlighted specific civic origins for each group in connection with products\, keeping with a broader Roman tradition of using geographic origin as a proxy for product quality. But the dedications of portrait statues set up in the center of the Square of the Corporations employ language that emphasizes collective action as Africani. Taken together\, this evidence suggests that the occupants of the Square created and used a collective Africani identity at specific moments for political and economic gain. This group action had limited use\, suggesting it was only deemed valuable for a few activities within the broader social landscape of Roman Ostia. \nReception before the event: 5:00 PM\nLecture starts at 5:30 PM

SUMMARY:Making Paleolithic Cave Art: Teen Saturdays Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Journey 30\,000 years into the past to discover how ancient humans used art to express themselves\, connect with their environment\, and develop techniques and materials to decorate cave walls in Europe. \nGuided by Marlena Billings\, a PhD student in the Department of Anthropology\, teens will explore examples of cave art and learn how archaeologists use experimental archaeology and microscopes to study how people manufactured art. Through hands-on activities\, participants will experiment with different tools\, surfaces\, and light to see how ancient artists brought animals and scenes to life in dark cave spaces. \nTeen Saturdays Workshops are offered bilingually in Spanish and English. They are designed to build community and improve the museum experience for multicultural teens. Snacks provided! \n$10 fee includes free admission to all HMSC museums immediately following the workshop. \nTeens will receive a free admission pass (worth $15) for a return visit if they attend one of the three sessions. \nOctober 17: Knapping the First Tools: Teen Saturdays Workshop\nNovember 14: Making Paleolithic Cave Art\nDecember 12: Animal Stories from the Past \nPresented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.

SUMMARY:Working with texts from the Koldewey expedition to Babylon. Insights from the “Governance in Babylon” project.
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Odette Boivin (University of Toronto) – focuses on archival\, everyday Babylonian documents and historiographic sources.  \nRobert Koldewey and his team excavated in Babylon between 1899 and 1917\, carrying out foundational work for our understanding of the city of Babylon and contributing to develop and establish archaeological standards in the early days of the discipline. As an Assyriologist\, Dr. Odette Boivin had the opportunity to work on a few hundreds of cuneiform tablets from the Koldewey expedition and examine in detail the recording of their archaeological context (Project Governance in Babylon 2021-2026). Her lecture discusses the approach preconized by Koldewey’s team for retrieving\, recording and handling written artefacts and the methods used they deployed. She presents also a few examples of how they were able to deduce information that was not recorded explicitly.

SUMMARY:Worlds Forever Changed: The Rio Grande Pueblos\, First Contact\, and the  Vázquez de Coronado Expedition (1540-1542)
DESCRIPTION:Matthew Schmader (University of New Mexico) \nThe huge exploration led by Francisco Vázquez de Coronado was the first contact between Ancestral Rio Grande Pueblos and outsiders. Its intended goals failed and\nthe expedition spent the whole winter of 1540-1541 camped in village that was taken over from Southern Tiwa residents. Distrust and strife broke out into outright\nhostilities called the Tiguex War. Investigations of architecture\, materials\, and artifact patterning from a major site of the war\, located north of Albuquerque\, are presented.

SUMMARY:The Festivals of Drunkenness in the Temple of Mut
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Betsy M. Bryan\, Alexander Badawy Professor Emerita of Egyptian Art and Archaeology\, Johns Hopkins University \nThe Temple of Mut is an ancient Egyptian sanctuary dedicated to the mother goddess Mut. From the early New Kingdom (c. 15th century BCE) through the Roman era\, this temple was the setting for several festivals of drunkenness. The archaeological remains of a columned hall at Mut’s temple indicate that these celebrations took place during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut (c. 1479–1459 BCE). These included the annual Drunkenness Festival and the major Theban ritual known as the Beautiful Feast of the Valley. In this lecture\, Betsy Bryan examines how these festivals were celebrated at Mut and at other sites in ancient Egypt\, highlighting their participants\, rituals\, and religious purposes. \nFree admission. Free event parking is available with registration. Register by November 17 to receive parking registration instructions. Presented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science and Culture.

SUMMARY:From Nile to Vial: Chemical and Archaeological Investigation of the Egyptian Blue Lotus
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, invites you to attend a Zoom lecture by Liam McEvoy\, UC Berkeley: \nFrom Nile to Vial: Chemical and Archaeological Investigation of the Egyptian Blue Lotus \nSunday\, November 22\, 2026\, 3 PM PST\nThis meeting is virtual\, not in person. It will not be recorded.\nZoom registration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/VN4t9-zFTsWRRz2s21iF1Q \nAbout Image: \nLiam McEvoy has studied the cultural significance of the Egyptian blue lotus and the chemical properties that differentiate it from products sold online. (Diego Moran/UC Berkeley) \nAbout the Lecture: \nThis talk revisits the Egyptian blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea)\, a plant long associated with rebirth\, intoxication\, and divine encounter\, using a combination of close Egyptological reading and high‑resolution analytical chemistry. By tracking how a single flower moves between temple walls\, funerary texts\, and contemporary e‑commerce\, the project exposes striking gaps between the blue lotus imagined\, the blue lotus sold\, and the blue lotus that actually grows. New metabolomic data from authenticated specimens complicate the familiar apomorphine–nuciferine narrative and instead point toward a different\, previously overlooked chemical logic underlying the plant’s ancient use. Taken together\, these lines of evidence suggest a more deliberate and technically sophisticated approach to altered states in ancient Egypt than current approaches allow. \nAbout the Speaker: \nLiam McEvoy attended UC Berkeley as an Anthropology and Egyptology undergraduate student\, with his senior thesis research being supported by ARCE Northern California. After graduating\, he began working at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory within the Analytical Chemistry division to help develop new ways to use mass spectrometry on both ancient and modern materials\, reconstructing human history one molecule at a time. His research centers on archaeochemistry\, with a particular focus on ancient Egyptian medicinal plants such as the Sacred Blue Lotus. Positioned at the intersection of ancient magic and cutting-edge science\, his work draws upon humanity’s past to inspire a brighter future. \nHow to Register: \nRegister for the lecture by clicking on this link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/VN4t9-zFTsWRRz2s21iF1Q \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the lecture. \nThere are a few things you should know before you join the lecture: \n* Advance registration is required.
