SUMMARY:Great Lecture: Marshland of Cities: Lagash and its Neighbors ca. 2500 BCE
DESCRIPTION:The earliest cities in the world arose in a dynamic wetland environment at the intersection of the Tigris-Euphrates delta and the shore of the Persian Gulf during the 4th- and 3rd-millennia BCE. Recent work at the site of Lagash\, led by the Penn Museum\, in collaboration with the University of Pisa and Cambridge University\, focuses on reconstructing the ancient environment of southern Iraq through remote sensing\, geological coring\, and excavation. This illustrated lecture will bring this formative chapter of human history to life through an overview of this work to date\, including geological\, ethnographic\, and archaeological evidence. \nSpeakers: Holly Pittman\, Bok Family Professor in the Humanities; Professor\, History of Art; Director\, Lagash Archaeological Project and Curator\, Near East Section\, Penn Museum and Reed C Goodman\, Ph.D. Candidate in the Art and Archaeology of the Mediterranean World.

SUMMARY:New Perspectives on the African Empire of Kush: Excavation at Jebel Barkal
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 lecture by Dr. Geoff Emberling\, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, Univ. of Michigan: \n“New Perspectives on the African Empire of Kush: Excavation at Jebel Barkal” \nSunday\, May 7\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\nUC Berkeley \nAbout the Lecture: \nKush was the dominant political power in the Middle Nile region of northern Sudan for over 2000 years (ca. 2000 BCE – 300 CE). Our understanding of this extensive ancient empire has long been constrained by the long legacy of focus on monumental remains (palaces\, temples\, pyramids) at the expense of investigation of settlements that would broaden our understanding of Kushite economy and social identities. \nA joint project of the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums of Sudan and the University of Michigan has begun work on a newly discovered area of settlement at Jebel Barkal (ancient Napata)\, one of the major cities of Kush (and a UNESCO World Heritage site). This talk will present the results of our first seasons of work on Meroitic levels of settlement at the site\, contemporary with the Roman occupation of Egypt (1st century BCE – 1st century CE). \nAbout the Lecturer: \nDr. Geoff Emberling is an archaeologist and museum curator who has worked extensively on ancient cultures of North Africa and the Middle East. His research has focused on identities\, urbanism and empires in Mesopotamia and in Nubia. He has directed projects in northern Sudan over the past 15 years and his team is just beginning its work at Jebel Barkal\, the “pure mountain” of the ancient Egyptians and capital city of ancient Kush. \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee. Ticket dispensing machines accept debit or credit cards. Parking is available in lots around the Social Sciences Building\, and in lots along Bancroft. A map of the campus is available online at http://www.berkeley.edu/map/ \nAbout ARCE-NC: \nFor more information\, please visit https://www.youtube.com/channel/NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/\, https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings\, or https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:ARCE-PA Lecture by Dr. Jessica Tomkins\, Wofford College
DESCRIPTION:ARCE-PA Lecture\nSunday\, May 7 at 3:30pm\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Jessica Tomkins\, Assistant Professor of History\, Wofford College \nLecture Topic: Rethinking Old Kingdom Kingship \nAbstract:\nFollowing Champollion’s decipherment of hieroglyphs\, our understanding of Egyptian society advanced at lightning speed with every new text published. However\, this rapid pace of scholarship also caused certain early ideas to become engrained in the field as facts rather than interpretations or opinions. In recent decades\, scholars have begun to question and break down some of these perceived “truths” such as that of a highly centralized government and the redistributive economy model for early Egyptian society. In doing so\, it became clear that these earlier interpretations were based on Eurocentric understandings of the monarchy model of government. This lecture traces how and why the nascent Egyptian state was understood through this Eurocentric lens and the subsequent impact such modes of thinking have had in understanding the Egyptian political state\, from the period of state formation through the Old Kingdom. This paper will contribute to the dialog on replacing our Eurocentric understanding of early ancient Egyptian kingship\, statehood\, and government with one based on African models\, with an aim to place our interpretation of ancient Egypt back into its original African context. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Jessica Tomkins is Assistant Professor of History at Wofford College. She was previously the Terrace Research Associate in Egyptian Art at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston and was the inaugural W. Benson Harer Egyptology Scholar in Residence at California State University\, San Bernardino. Jessica was awarded a PhD in Egyptology from Brown in 2019 with a dissertation that examined the display and negotiation of power between the central and provincial governments as seen through Old Kingdom provincial mastabas at Dendera and El Kab. Her current research questions the model of government and modes of power in Old Kingdom Egypt. \nLectures are FREE for ARCE members. For non-ARCE members admission is as follows: $10 general admissions; $7 for Penn Museum members\, Faculty & Staff; $5 for Students with ID (12 and under FREE).
