Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex Celebrates International Archaeology Day
2022-10-15 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex, 801 Jefferson Ave., Moundsville, WV, 26041, United States
MOUNDSVILLE, W.Va. — Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex will celebrate International Archaeology Day on October 15 with a program titled The Real Bebbanburh: The Castle That Started it all in Netflix’s Hit Drama “The Last Kingdom”. The program starts at 2:00 pm on Saturday, October 15, and is open to the public free of charge.
The program will be presented by Lauren E. Nofi, a community archaeologist who has worked at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and Colonial Williamsburg in the United States; also in Ireland, Scotland and the United Kingdom. Nofi holds a B.A. in Anthropology from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA, and an M.A. in Archaeology (with Merit) from the University of Sheffield in Sheffield, UK.
Ms. Nofi will take a deep dive into the history and archaeology of Bamburgh Castle (UK), focusing on early medieval Northumbria. This castle features as the hero Uhtred’s motivation in both The Last Kingdom books by Bernard Cornwell (who also wrote the Sharpe’s Rifles series) and subsequent television series. The castle is real, but is Uhtred? Moreover, was the castle ever worth all that trouble? This presentation is appropriate for those both familiar and unfamiliar with the series, by an archaeologist who has personal experience excavating at Bebbanburh, now called Bamburgh,
Saturday, October 15 has been designated International Archaeology Day by the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA). An international list of programs for the event at https://www.archaeological.org/programs/public/archaeologyday/ .
Operated by the West Virginia Department of Arts, Culture and History, Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex features one of the largest conical burial mounds built by the Adena people between 250 – 150 B.C. and ranks as one of the largest earthen mortuary mounds anywhere in the world. Exhibits and displays in the Delf Norona Museum interpret what is known about the lives of these prehistoric people and the construction of the mound. The complex also houses the West Virginia Archaeological Research and Collections Management Facility.
Admission to Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex is free. The Delf Norona Museum, located at 801 Jefferson Avenue, is open 9 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and closed Sunday and Monday. Access to the Mound and other outdoor areas closes at 4:30 pm.

American Research Center in Egypt- Pennsylvania Chapter (ARCE-PA) Lecture: Dr. Luigi Prada
2022-10-15 15:30 - 17:30 (America/New_York) | Penn Museum, 3260 South St, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, United States
Saturday, October 15
Dr. Luigi Prada
Asst. Professor of Egyptology,  Uppsala University (Sweden)
“If a crocodile has sex with her, she will die swiftly”:  Dreams and Divination in Ancient Egypt”
3:30pm
Classroom L2  , Penn Museum
Abstract
In the ancient world, the Egyptians had a reputation for excelling in divination, the practice of gaining knowledge about the future via occult channels. Many types of divination were known and habitually practiced in ancient Egypt, primarily by temple priests who employed specific handbooks for this purpose. Such arts included astrology, the study of the behavior of animals (so-called animal omina), oil divination (aka lecanomancy), and more. But one particularly popular branch of divination was oneiromancy, that is, dream interpretation.
This talk will introduce the audience to new research on ancient Egyptian oneiromancy, discussing in detail the workings of dream interpretation manuals and what light they shed on our knowledge of the ancient Egyptian mind.
Biography:
Dr. Luigi Prada is Assistant Professor of Egyptology at Uppsala University, Sweden. Formerly, he was a member of the Egyptology departments of Oxford, Heidelberg, and Copenhagen University. Within Egyptology, he specializes in textual, religious, and social studies, with particular focus on the Late and Graeco-Roman Periods. He is passionate about fieldwork, and is the Assistant Director of the Oxford/Uppsala epigraphic team working with Egyptian colleagues in Elkab in southern Egypt; he has also participated in fieldwork in Sudan. He is currently President of the Society of Friends and Collaborators of the Museo Egizio in Turin (ACME).

2022-10-16 09:00 - 14:30 (America/New_York) | Cumming Nature Center, 6472 Gulick Road, Naples, NY, 14512
Grab a trowel, hop into the trench, and join archaeology professors and students from SUNY Brockport as we uncover the story of a 19th century homestead located at the Nature Center. Did it burn down or collapse? Where was the kitchen? Whose bones and teeth are found in the yard? Help us piece together the story of Frost Town, an abandoned logging settlement founded at the end of the 18th century in the old-growth pine forests of the Onondowagah, or Seneca, people.
At Family Archaeology Days, participants will literally be in the trenches as they learn about the history of Frost Town and the basics of archaeological fieldwork, including:
Methods of excavation
How to properly clean artifacts
Tricks for identifying artifacts
This event is part of a multi-year project that provides public access to Frost Town Archaeology (FTA), a SUNY Brockport archaeology field school site that’s located at the Cumming Nature Center. Students in FTA focus on the Hall Homestead site, a residence built by an early settler of Frost Town. During Family Archaeology Days, visitors have the opportunity to help excavate a less fragile homestead located closer to the Visitor Center, complementing the work being done at the Hall Homestead.
Note- the dig event is sold out as of 10/13/2022, but you can still visit the nature center!

Rethinking Maya Heritage: Past and Present (Free Hybrid Lecture)
2022-10-20 18:00 - 19:15 (America/New_York) | Geological Lecture Hall, 24 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138, United States
Richard M. Leventhal, Professor, Department of Anthropology and Executive Director, Penn Cultural Heritage Center, Penn Museum, University of Pennsylvania
The story of Maya culture as a once-great civilization that built towering pyramids in the jungles of Central America was developed and popularized by national governments, anthropologists, and archaeologists. Previously unable to control the story of their own culture, Maya communities today are actively reframing their heritage and centering their most recent history—not the distant past—to regain power and self-determination. Richard Leventhal will discuss the importance and role that the nineteenth-century Caste War—one of the largest and most successful Indigenous rebellions—is playing in the Maya’s contested heritage.

It brings to light the results of months of painstaking studies by a multidisciplinary team researching the sarcophagus and two other tombs discovered in the area, as well as their contents. The three tombs, although inherently different, shed light on the burial rituals of the earliest Phoenicians on the island.

After the Dig - studies from the Phoenician shipwreck. Lecture by Professor Timmy Gambin, Associate Professor of Maritime Archaeology in the Department of Classics and Archaeology, University of Malta.
2022-10-26 18:00 - 19:30 (Europe/Vienna) | Lisbon
Those involved in any archaeological project know that for every hour spent excavating a site, many more must be dedicated to post-excavation. One must rationalise, analyse and interpret data that were gathered in the course of the project. Experts are brought in, students offered research opportunities and all information gathered placed in a database. However, simply producing and storing a number of disparate research strands is unsatisfactory. They need to be looked at holistically and woven into a narrative that can contribute to a better understanding of some facets of the human past. This talk explores various past and ongoing research projects that have emanated from the Phoenician Shipwreck Project following the conclusion of four excavation seasons in 2021. Although this research is still very much in ‘strand form’, the audience will gain insight not just into current workings but also of the historical fabric that will hopefully be woven over the coming years.
