SUMMARY:In the Shadow of Egypt’s Last Pyramid: Uncovering the Ahmose Cemetery and Its Historical Implications
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, and the UC Berkeley Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures invite you to attend a lecture by Emily Smith-Sangster\, Princeton University: \nIn the Shadow of Egypt’s Last Pyramid:\nUncovering the Ahmose Cemetery and Its Historical Implications \nSunday September 15\, 2024\, 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time \nRoom 175 Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley \nThis in-person lecture will be recorded for later publication on YouTube. \nAbout the Lecture: \nIn early 2023\, the Abydos South Project (ASP) began its inaugural season working on a plot of land to the local north of the Ahmose Pyramid. The goal of the season was to explore this area of the concession in the hopes of better understanding its use history. This area\, previously unexcavated save for shallow test trenching in 1966 by the EAO\, and surface collection in 1993 by the Ahmose and Tetisheri Project\, had been identified as the possible location of the Ahmose Pyramid Town. \nASP’s excavations\, however\, discovered that this area was\, in fact\, a large elite necropolis used for an exceedingly brief period of time. While analysis is still in progress\, it is clear that this discovery offers significant data that will help us develop our understanding of expressions of elite agency and identity in the cemeteries of Abydos\, while also allowing us to further contextualize elite activity at this site within the wider history of the early New Kingdom. \nThis lecture will discuss these excavations and resulting discoveries\, while also highlighting the impact this discovery will have on our understanding of the Ahmose period at Abydos and beyond. \nAbout the Speaker: \nEmily Smith-Sangster is a Ph.D. Candidate in Egyptian Art and Archaeology at Princeton University and Associate Director of the Abydos South Project. Her dissertation investigates the construction and expression of post-mortem identity during the early New Kingdom at Abydos\, with a particular focus on the Ahmose Cemetery. Her work interacts with themes of landscape\, sensorialism\, gender\, and embodiment. \n————-\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/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/\, https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings\, and https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:Reports from the Field
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to begin our programming this year by hearing from UC Berkeley graduate students who have spent part of the past year working on archaeological projects at various sites around the world. Leah Packard-Grams will discuss her work in Egypt over the winter at the site of Amheida\, a Roman town in the remote Dakhla Oasis in the Western Desert\, and specifically will focus on her work with ceramics\, translation of ostraca\, and a larger interest in writing in the town. Tanya Bertone will discuss the 2024 field season of the Clear Lake Archaeological Project (CLAP)\, a low-cost summer field school in Clearlake\, California. Sandra Oseguera will discuss her 2024 archaeological field season in San Juan Luvina\, Oaxaca\, focusing particularly on three of the project’s objectives: strengthening ties with the Indigenous community\, establishing a collaborative methodology for a long-term archaeological project\, and collecting soil samples.

SUMMARY:The Galisteo Basin as a Multicultural Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Lecture. Eric Blinman (former director Museum of New Mexico\, Office of Archaeological Studies). Puebloan peoples are stereotyped under a single label\, which is a profound injustice to their rich cultural diversity. This diversity also implies the existence of distinct histories\, and the unique setting of the Galisteo Basin provides an opportunity to explore these histories. The uniqueness of the Galisteo Basin is largely due to its susceptibility to climate change and the interaction of the environment with human economies. Tiwa\, Tewa\, Tano\, Towa\, and Keres cultural groups were well established in north central New Mexico at the beginning of the twelfth century\, enjoying a stable climate pattern that supported a cultural florescence in the Four Corners region. Drought and a change in the monsoon rainfall pattern in the mid-to-late 12th century disrupted the stable cultural geography\, and the Galisteo Basin was opened to agricultural homesteading. By the mid-twelfth century\, more than five generations before the Mesa Verde abandonment\, immigrants began colonizing the Basin. More than 200 years of conflicts-of-interest and conflict ensued\, resulting in the 15th century formation of the Galisteo Basin Pueblos\, and giving form to the cultural diversity encountered during European colonization.

SUMMARY:The reception of ancient Egypt in the medieval Muslim world
DESCRIPTION:The Ann Santen Endowed Lecture \nOkasha El Daly\, “The reception of ancient Egypt in the medieval Muslim world”\nTuesday\, September 17\n7:30 – 9:00 PM\nDavidson College\nVisual Arts Center VAC-117 Semans Lecture Hall \nThese lectures are sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America\, with funding from the Davidson College Public Lectures Committee and the departments of Art\, Classics\, Educational Studies\, and History. \nAbout the lecture: \nContrary to the prevailing view that the conversion of Egyptians first to Christianity and then Islam ended interest in their own heritage\, they continued to study their own past with great pride. Many medieval Arab scholars visited Egypt to study its heritage and ancient scripts. This interest in ancient Egyptian scripts led to many scholarly attempts to decipher them. Here is a brief study of the motivations behind their interest and the degrees of their success in the decipherment and understanding of ancient Egypt. Nearly all the writers interested in Egyptian hieroglyphs were alchemists; many were also called Sufis or Mystics (for example\, Jabir\, Dhu Al-Nun\, and Ibn Waḥshiyah). The fame of Egypt as the land of science\, wisdom\, and mysticism created a welcoming environment for the reception of ancient Egyptian thought and arts among medieval Muslim scholars and the general public. This medieval Muslim reception fills a gap of about a thousand years in the history of Egyptology. \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Okasha El Daly specializes in the history\, art\, religion\, and languages of Egypt from the birth of its civilization to its contemporary history and current affairs. He has served as Inspector of Antiquities in the Giza Pyramids Area\, worked as a guide and lecturer in Egypt\, and lectured on the AIA’s national lecture circuit. He has directed several international projects\, including the Foundation for Science\, Technology\, and Civilisation in the UK and the recent Qatar-Sudan Archaeological Project. His book\, Egyptology: The Missing Millennium (2005)\, shows that medieval scholars in Egypt and beyond were as keen as we are to explore ancient Egyptian sciences and arts. \nThese lectures are sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America\, with funding from the Davidson College Public Lectures Committee and the departments of Art\, Classics\, Educational Studies\, and History. \nIndividuals can support us by joining the Archaeological Institute of America for $55 (students $30)\, which includes a subscription to Archaeology magazine.

SUMMARY:1177 BC and After: The Collapse and Survival of Civilizations
DESCRIPTION:In-person lecture\nSaturday\, September 21 at 3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Rainey Auditorium \nIn collaboration with the Dept. of Art and Archaeology of the Mediterranean World\, UPenn\nA short reception will follow the lecture \nSpeaker: Dr. Eric Cline \nLecture Topic: 1177 BC and After: The Collapse and Survival of Civilizations \nAbstract:\nFor more than three hundred years during the Late Bronze Age\, from about 1500 BC to 1200 BC\, the Mediterranean region played host to a complex international world in which Egyptians\, Mycenaeans\, Minoans\, Hittites\, Assyrians\, Babylonians\, Cypriots\, and Canaanites all interacted\, creating a cosmopolitan and globalized world-system such as has only rarely been seen before the current day. It may have been this very internationalism that contributed to the apocalyptic disaster that ended the Bronze Age. When the end came\, as it did after centuries of cultural and technological evolution\, the civilized and international world of the Mediterranean regions came to a dramatic halt in a vast area stretching from Greece and Italy in the west to Egypt\, Canaan\, and Mesopotamia in the east. Large empires and small kingdoms\, that had taken centuries to evolve\, collapsed rapidly. \nWhile the centuries following the Late Bronze Age Collapse in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean were a time of catastrophe\, they were also a time of rebirth and resilience — it was less of a Dark Age and more of a reboot for many of the societies which were affected. While there are examples of failure to thrive or even to survive in some cases\, others managed to adapt and transform. In effect\, we have eight case studies of what to do (and what not to do) in the event of a systems collapse\, ranging from the Assyrians to the Egyptians to the Mycenaeans and others in between. We will focus on the people and places that emerged from the ashes\, highlighting some of the events and developments that took place in Greece\, Egypt\, Mesopotamia\, Anatolia\, and the Levant. We will also consider whether there are any relevant lessons to be learned from this dramatic story of resurgence and revival\, especially considering what is going on in our world today. \nSpeaker Bio:\nEric H. Cline is Professor of Classics\, History\, and Anthropology\, the former Chair of the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations\, and the current Director of the Capitol Archaeological Institute at George Washington University\, in Washington DC. A National Geographic Explorer\, NEH Public Scholar\, Getty Scholar\, and Fulbright Scholar with degrees from Dartmouth\, Yale\, and the University of Pennsylvania\, he is an active field archaeologist with more than 30 seasons of excavation and survey experience in Israel\, Egypt\, Jordan\, Cyprus\, Greece\, Crete\, and the United States\, including ten seasons at Megiddo (1994-2014)\, where he served as co-director before retiring from the project in 2014\, and another ten seasons at Tel Kabri\, where he currently serves as Co-Director. He is the author or editor of 20 books and nearly 100 articles; translations of his books have appeared in nineteen different languages. Among them are Three Stones Make a Wall: The Story of Archaeology; Digging Deeper: How Archaeology Works; 1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed and (with Glynnis Fawkes) 1177 BC: A Graphic History of the Year Civilization Collapsed; and After 1177 BC: The Survival of Civilizations (all Princeton). He is a member of the Washington DC chapter of ARCE. \n***************************\nRegistration is NOT required. Lectures are FREE to ARCE Members\, $7 for University of Pennsylvania Museum Members and UPenn Staff and Faculty\, $5 for Students with ID\, and $10 for the general public.\nLight refreshments served starting at 3pm.\n****************************\nThe American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) is a private\, nonprofit organization founded in 1948 by a consortium of educational and cultural institutions to support research on all aspects of Egyptian history and culture\, foster broader knowledge among the general public\, and strengthen American-Egyptian cultural ties.
