SUMMARY:Virtual Symposium: 20 Years of Gold on Athena
DESCRIPTION:Join the Parthenon for a virtual talk on Tuesday\, August 23\, at 6 PM Central. This online Symposium is free and open to the public. \nABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM:\nTwenty years ago\, the colossal statue of Athena Parthenos inside the Nashville Parthenon underwent a transformation. After standing as a white statue from 1990-2002\, a team of experts and volunteers added over 8 pounds of gold leaf plus colorful paint details to Athena. Join this Symposium to hear more about the gold gilding process and this incredible project that changed the way millions of Parthenon visitors see ancient statues. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS:\nMicki and Mitch Cavanah\, Reed’s Gold Leaf \nFor more than 30 years\, Micki and Mitchell Cavanah have been perfecting the fine tradition of gilding (gold leafing) and coordinating with other gilders and craftsmen from related fields to ensure the mutual preservation of the art form of antique & frame restoration. Micki and Mitchell are expert gold gilders and were involved with the project that added gold and paint to the statue of Athena Parthenos in the Naos over the summer of 2002. \nMicki and Mitchell are long-time members of the prestigious Society of Gilders\, of which Micki has previously served as Vice-President and currently serves on the board of trustees. Both are well-respected educators in the arts of restoration and gilding who have worked on famous sites all over the United States including the Louisiana State Museum\, Chicago’s Glessner House\, and memorials in Washington DC including the Iwo Jima Memorial and Marconi Memorial.

SUMMARY:Consumed in Raging Fire: Cremation Burial in Ptolemaic Alexandria
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California Chapter\, and the Near Eastern Studies Department\, University of California\, Berkeley\, invite you to attend a virtual lecture by Dr. Thomas Landvatter\, University of Michigan: \nConsumed in Raging Fire: Cremation Burial in Ptolemaic Alexandria \nSunday\, August 28\, 2022\, 3 PM Pacific Time \nZoom Lecture. A registration link will be automatically sent to ARCE-NC members. Non-members may request a registration link by sending email with your name and email address to arcencZoom@gmail.com. Non-members\, please send any registration requests no later than Friday\, August 26. The number of registrations is limited\, so the sooner you register\, the better. \nGlenn Meyer\nARCE-NC ePublicity \nAbout the Lecture: \nMummification is\, of course\, the burial practice most associated with ancient Egypt. It may come as a surprise\, then\, that for a period of time cremation – the very antithesis of mummification – is attested in Egypt. During the Ptolemaic period (305-30 BCE)\, when Egypt was ruled by a dynasty of Graeco-Maedonian origin\, it is clear that mummification remained the burial treatment of choice for many elite classes across Egypt. However\, a significant minority of burials in the capital of Alexandria and elsewhere were in fact cremations. In this talk\, I explore the cremation burials of Ptolemaic Alexandria\, who used cremation and why\, and what cremation reveals about the cultural and social environment of that city. I argue that these cremation burials and their meaning can only be understood in relation to Egyptian mummification and other cultural practices\, as well as the unique social and cultural environment of early Alexandria. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Tom Landvatter (PhD\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology\, University of Michigan)\, is Associate Professor of Greek\, Latin\, and Ancient Mediterranean Studies and Humanities at Reed College in Portland\, Oregon. His teaching and research interests center on the history and archaeology of the eastern Mediterranean during the Hellenistic period (323-30 BCE)\, in particular Cyprus and Ptolemaic Egypt. He has excavated in Egypt at both Mendes and\, especially\, Abydos\, which has been an ongoing focus of his research and publications. Currently he co-directs an excavation at the Hellenistic fortification of Vigla\, near Larnaca\, Cyprus. \nAbout ARCE-NC: \nFor more information\, please visit https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/\, https://arce-nc.org/\, https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings\, or https://khentiamentiu.org.
