SUMMARY:Matrilineal Kinship in Aegean Prehistory: Settlements\, Figurines\, and the Absence of Men
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sabina Cveček \nWere communities in prehistoric Greece matriarchal\, matrilineal\, or simply centered around women? This question has fascinated archaeologists for decades. Early on\, figurines of women were often seen as “Mother Goddesses\,” meaning female deities often representing motherhood\, fertility\, and creation\, but feminist scholars later cautioned against such broad interpretations. Still\, the idea that ancient societies may have been organized around maternal kinship and matrilineal descent—where family ties pass through the mother—has resurfaced in recent years. In this talk\, Sabina Cveček revisits the debate\, exploring what different types of evidence—from how settlements were laid out to how figurines were used—can tell us about gender and family life in the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age Aegean. She draws on ethnographic examples to show that matrilineal kinship does not automatically mean women ruled\, a key distinction for better understanding how these early societies were structured. This lecture is sponsored by the National AIA organization.

SUMMARY:"Tutankhamun’s Funeral—What We Know from KV62"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Nicholas R. Brown\, a postdoctoral fellow in Egyptology at Yale University and director of excavations at the ancient site of Deir el-Ballas\, will explore what the archaeological record reveals about the state funeral in ancient Egypt. Dr. Brown will analyze the unique funeral procession scene depicted in the tomb’s Burial Chamber and its connection to a funerary rite known as the “Awakening of Osiris.” This talk will show how these images and artifacts were meant to transform the king into a divine being. The talk begins at 7 PM in Rehm Library\, College of the Holy Cross\, but there will be a small welcome reception at 6:30 PM\, immediately upstairs in the Moran Lounge.

SUMMARY:The Myth of Ariadne from the Labyrinth to the Walls of Pompeii
DESCRIPTION:The Archaeological Institute of America- Dayton Society\, Miami University Department of History\, and the Richard and Carole Cocks Art Museum (RCCAM) at Miami University present the Archaeological Institute of America’s Peter H. von Blanckenhagen Memorial Lecture by Dr. Lillian Joyce\, Associate Professor of Art History at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. \nMost people are familiar with the story of Ariadne helping Theseus escape the Minotaur’s labyrinth\, saving him from a situation not unlike the Hunger Games. Ariadne leaves Crete by necessity as well as for her love of Theseus. En route to Athens\, they stop at the island of Naxos\, where the exhausted Ariadne falls asleep. While she slumbers\, Theseus sets sail and abandons her. Alone on the island\, she is discovered by the wine god Dionysus and his entourage. Smitten\, Dionysus makes Ariadne his consort. This story was explored by Greek writers from Homer onward\, but as it comes into the Roman world\, poets\, patrons\, and painters are more interested in the plight of Ariadne rather than the feats of Theseus. Ariadne captivates the Romans and she appears in a great variety of media: glass\, gems\, sculpture\, mosaics\, and especially Pompeiian wall painting where the complementary episodes of Ariadne’s abandonment and rescue are the single most common theme in central panel paintings. This talk will explore the strategies that artists employed to make the episodes recognizable and compelling and then expand out to examine the spaces in which Ariadne appears and think about how people experienced these images of the wronged maiden who becomes the consort of a god.

SUMMARY:The Origins of the Alphabet and How It Spread Across the World
DESCRIPTION:Public Lecture by Professor Wayne T. Pitard \nAbstract:\nEssentially all of the alphabetic scripts in the world descend from a single script invented probably during the 20th century BCE by a Canaanite in the southern Levant. This lecture will provide a tour of the extraordinary development of the alphabet from its beginnings to its eventual spread across the Mediterranean and the world. We will examine the script’s origin and how the signs were conceptualized by their creator(s). We will look at the alphabet’s extension\, first across the eastern Mediterranean where it developed into the distinctive Ugaritic\, Phoenician\, Hebrew\, and Aramaic scripts\, and then moved southward into the Arabian Peninsula\, where it evolved into the Arabic system. Then we will examine how the early alphabet\, which only expressed consonants\, was revolutionized by the Greeks\, who began using some of the letters as vowels. We will follow the development of the Greek alphabet into both the Latin and the Cyrillic alphabets that exist throughout Europe and much of northern Asia. Finally\, we will touch upon the spread of the Arabic alphabet across northern Africa and eastward into India\, and the Latin alphabet’s movement to the Americas and parts of southern Africa during the European colonial period of the 15th-20th centuries. All of this has made the alphabetic writing system the most widespread method of writing in the world.

SUMMARY:From Berlin to Berkeley: The History of the Edward Gans Collection of Seals and Its Hidden Gems – a Ellen and Charles S. La Follette Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures currently houses the Edward Gans Collection of Seals\, comprising almost seven hundred seals and seal-related objects from a variety of periods\, extending from the Neolithic Middle East to Post-classical Mesoamerica. Since 2023\, a new team of Berkeley scholars has been working on the collection to prepare it for digital publication\, and this talk arises from the provenance research undertaken as part of that project. This talk will highlight the fascinating story of how the Gans Collection came to be and the legacy of Nazi persecution that shaped the collection’s history\, while also featuring several Sasanian seals in the collection of particular significance. This is one of the annual Ellen and Charles S. La Follette Lectures.

SUMMARY:Water Histories: How 8\,000 Years of Fluctuating Lake Levels in North-Central Florida Affected Indigenous Land Use and Regional Interactions
DESCRIPTION:Recent survey of a tract of public land on Lake Pithlachocco in Alachua County\, Florida revealed an 8\,000-year record of horizontal stratigraphy extending 500m from and 5m above the modern lake shore. The first half of this record reflects the mid-Holocene expansion of surface water regionally\, but the second half reflects a regime of low-frequency\, high-magnitude flooding to which lakeside dwellers adapted their land use. Besides affecting settlement choices\, fluctuating surface water impacted the potential of regional travel by boat\, connecting Lake Pithlachocco to places far afield during extreme hydroperiods and stranding it from flow during extreme droughts.

SUMMARY:Reading Matthew’s Gospel in the Cemeteries of Roman Syria and Judea
DESCRIPTION:Why does the Gospel of Matthew prefer a different word for burials\, taphoi\, than the other New Testament gospels? And why does Matthew consistently revise his sources to describe Jesus’s burial as costly? Matthew emphasizes that Jesus was anointed with expensive spices and buried in a rich patron’s new tomb\, which makes it appear as though he wanted to portray Jesus as receiving an elite burial. If\, however\, we read Matthew’s descriptions of burials in light of archaeological evidence of changing mortuary practices in provincial Syria and Judea\, where the gospel was composed sometime in the late first century\, his motives appear more complicated. Quick though he is to indicate that Jesus received a rich man’s burial\, Matthew is clear that this did not include any of the lavish displays of status that were increasingly common on elite tombs in Matthew’s context. Through a critical analysis of both text and funerary archaeology\, this presentation explores how the author of Matthew and his earliest audiences responded to and participated in cultural and socioeconomic changes induced by geopolitical shifts in the Roman East. \nBiography\nDr. Tony Keddie is Associate Professor of Ancient Mediterranean Religions and Fellow of the Ronald Nelson Smith Chair in Classics and Christian Origins at the University of Texas at Austin. An award-winning social historian\, Keddie’s interdisciplinary research focuses on the intersections of religion and economics in the Roman East\, particularly among Jews and Christians in Judea and Asia Minor. He is the author of four books\, including Class and Power in Roman Palestine; co-editor of five books\, including Revelation and Material Religion in the Roman East; and author of more than two dozen articles. \nRegistration required.
