SUMMARY:When Democracies Vote to Overthrow Themselves: Lessons from Classical Athens.
DESCRIPTION:Democracy most often ends not with a violent spasm\, but with a vote.\nOligarchic challengers leverage their small numbers to coordinate dis-informing campaigns\, hoping that enough citizens will withhold their support for democratic rule. Already in the fifth- and fourth-centuries BCE\, Greek democracies experimented with strategies to overcome these problems\, such as the Solonian law against political neutrality and tyrant-killing legislation.\nThis talk will demonstrate the continuing relevance of ancient political theory and practice to contemporary democratic politics. \nAbout the speaker:\nProf. Robert Sobak (Bowdoin College\, USA) is a Greek historian researching the emergence of collective intelligence among laborers in Democratic Athens. \nThe AIA has selected this talk as one of the “Alan Boegehold Lectures in Athenian Archaeology and Letters” for the academic year 2024/2025.

SUMMARY:No Ordinary Dogs: Canine Behavior in Theban Tombs
DESCRIPTION:In-person lecture\nSaturday\, November 9\, 3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom 2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Chelsea Kaufman \nTitle: No Ordinary Dogs: Canine Behavior in Theban Tombs \nAbstract:\nThe wall scenes of the rock-cut Theban tombs of the New Kingdom are filled with richly painted imagery that captures the lives and beliefs of the people who built them\, offering modern viewers a window through which to recognize and relate to a distant past. Depictions of familiar animals abound in tomb scenes\, but perhaps no animal is more familiar to a modern viewer than the domestic dog. Scholars have long been drawn to and commented on canine imagery in Egyptian tombs\, often remarking on their proficiency as hunting hounds and their status as beloved companions\, many of which were endearingly named and shown alongside the tomb owner receiving offerings. But is there more to the icon than a testament to a cherished pet? Past approaches to dogs in Egyptian art have taken an anthropocentric view\, focusing on what dogs tell us about the lives of people while ignoring the animal’s unique ethology. As this talk will show\, applying an ethological approach to the images of dogs in tomb scenes can offer a nuanced understanding of the dog’s role within the scenes and the scene itself. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Chelsea L. Kaufman recently received her Ph.D in Near Eastern Studies from Johns Hopkins University. Her dissertation research centered on representations of domestic dogs in 18th Dynasty Theban tombs\, applying an ethological approach to better understand the role that dogs played both in funerary art and society. Kaufman holds a master’s degree in archaeology from Yale and a bachelor’s degree in art from Moravian University\, focusing on studio art\, art history\, and archaeology. She has 10 years of archaeological survey\, excavation\, and illustration experience within and outside of Egypt including the Mut Temple Precinct in Karnak\, Deir el-Medina\, the Outer Hebrides\, and various historic and prehistoric sites throughout northeastern Pennsylvania and Alabama. Kaufman’s interests are varied\, being involved in an ongoing experimental Egyptian metalworking project both before and during her dissertation research. Kaufman is currently working on publishing her dissertation and expanding on topics within it through a series of upcoming articles. \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. The ARCE Pennsylvania Chapter (ARCE-PA) is the local branch of the national institution. We host monthly events including scholarly lectures\, Egyptian-themed workshops\, social events\, and guided tours of the Penn Museum’s Egyptian galleries.

SUMMARY:Age of Wolf and Wind: The Viking World and the Norse Settlement of the North Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:The Vikings continue to fascinate us because their compelling stories connect with universal human desires for exploration and adventure. In Age of Wolf and Wind: Voyages through the Viking World\, Dr. Davide Zori (Baylor University) argues that recent advances in excavation and archaeological science\, coupled with a re-evaluation of oral traditions and written sources\, inspire the telling of new and engaging stories that further our understanding of the Viking Age. Drawing upon his fieldwork experience across the Viking world\, he proposes that the best method for weaving together these narratives is a balanced\, interdisciplinary approach that integrates history\, archaeology\, and new scientific techniques. The dialogues he creates between these three separate data sets result in an entanglement of confirmation (texts\, archaeology\, and science affirming the same story)\, contradiction (texts\, archaeology\, and science telling incompatible stories) and complementarity (texts\, archaeology\, and science contributing mutually enriching stories). This optimistic yet critical treatment of the sources allows for a holistic picture of the Viking Age to emerge. This lecture presents the general arguments of Dr. Zori’s book before offering a case study of this approach from his research on Viking Age Iceland. He examines the Viking experience in Iceland through the discoveries and excavations of the Mosfell Archaeological Project (MAP) in Iceland’s Mosfell Valley. His team’s work brings together the disciplines of archaeology\, history\, saga studies\, osteology\, zoology\, paleobotany\, genetics\, isotope studies\, place-names studies\, environmental science\, and historical architecture. The decade-long research of MAP has led to the discovery of an exceptionally well-preserved Viking chieftain’s farmstead\, including a longhouse\, a pagan cremation site\, a conversion-era stave church\, and a Christian graveyard. The results of this interdisciplinary work offer a new view into the Viking Age in Iceland.

SUMMARY:Drawing on History: Creating the  Graphic Adaptation of 1177 BC
DESCRIPTION:How does a cartoonist adapt a scholarly work of history\, specifically Eric H. Cline’s 1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed? Prof. Eric H. Cline and award-winning illustrator Glynnis Fawkes describe the process of interpreting Eric’s text in comics. This meant making historical figures (such as Ramses III) speak\, as well as imagining characters for whom we have no record offering commentary and opinions. Join the co-authors as they discuss the creation of 1177 B.C.: A Graphic History of the Year Civilization Collapsed (Princeton University Press).

SUMMARY:Children in Context: How Mortuary Contexts Inform our Understanding of the Past
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Dr. Erin Bornemann\, Director of Information Management for the Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. The mortuary record affords archaeologists a unique snapshot in time and space\, providing further information surrounding the larger social context of death and burial in archaeological contexts that are often not discernible from other non-burial settings. Studies of such contexts provide material evidence for objects the deceased may have used in life\, but more certainly for objects that the living found significant to include with the deceased in their final resting place. This lecture will present archaeological case studies based on the author’s research in Coastal California and Sudan that demonstrate cross-cultural differences in the expression of death and burial\, with a specific focus on an underrepresented portion of most burial populations: children. Using lenses of materiality\, personhood\, and childhood\, this lecture will discuss how these two cultural spheres—vastly different in time\, space\, and material culture—took great care in the burials of children in their communities\, and how these burial contexts can inform our knowledge regarding the ascription of personhood in these societies.

SUMMARY:Archives in the Crocodile: The Tebtunis Crocodile Papyri As the Missing Link between Ptolemaic and Roman Notarial Practices
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 Leah Packard-Grams\, UC Berkeley: \nArchives in the Crocodile: The Tebtunis Crocodile Papyri\nAs the Missing Link between Ptolemaic and Roman Notarial Practices \nSunday November 17\, 2024\, 3 PM  Pacific Standard Time\nRoom 56 Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley \nThis in-person lecture will not be virtual or recorded.\nNo registration is required for the lecture. \nAbout the Lecture: \nOne of the most important finds of Egyptian papyri was discovered entirely by accident. An Egyptian workman (whose name the excavators do not report) broke open a crocodile mummy he had found while digging\, and beneath the linen mummy bandages were hidden papyrus archives that reveal the history of the “lost century” of ancient Egypt. The documents found stashed inside the 36 votive crocodile mummies at the site of Tebtunis are everyday papers\, but their value and uniqueness is hard to overstate: The texts are from the 1st century BCE\, a time when Egypt’s documentary record plummets. In this century\, Egypt was in its last decades of native rule under Cleopatra’s father Ptolemy XII\, and the Roman Republic was peering at the bounty of Egypt with an eye toward conquest. The archives in the Tebtunis crocodiles show a glimpse of everyday life in this period of uncertainty\, offering insights into the economic conditions and state-mandated notary practices of the lost century of Egypt’s history. \nThese crocodile papyri have never been examined in a holistic way that considers their archaeological assemblage of votive artifacts\, the full extent of the subarchives\, or the importance of the crocodile temples to the documents themselves. This is precisely what this project proposes to remedy.  \nAbout the Speaker: \nLeah Packard-Grams an interdisciplinary ancient historian\, papyrologist\, and archaeologist in UC Berkeley’s interdisciplinary program (AHMA) currently writing her dissertation on the topic of today’s lecture. Her primary interests include Greek and Demotic papyrology\, the archaeology of Greco-Roman Egypt\, and the materiality of ancient textual artifacts. She is part of two excavations in Egypt (El Hibeh with UC Berkeley + Amheida with NYU). She is passionate about diversifying the field of ancient history to include those accounts of people who have been historically marginalized\, and strives to bridge the disciplinary divides that artificially separate archaeology\, papyrology\, and Egyptology. \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:Lecture: Zuni Region in the Post-Chacoan Era.
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Keith Kintigh (Arizona State University). The Chaco Era has received a tremendous amount of archaeological consideration over the last 45 years. Far less attention has been paid to understanding the organization of northern Southwestern societies following the collapse of Chaco–a time was once viewed as a dark age\, a time of cultural backsliding. However\, imposing sites with Chaco-inspired public architecture provide evidence of large communities\, dating between A.D. 1200 and 1275\, that laid the organizational foundations of well-known Pueblo IV towns. We excavated portions of two such Zuni-area settlements and did extensive systematic survey around those two sites and a third\, Spier 81. The Hinkson Site has 32 residential room blocks surrounding a great house complex that includes an unroofed\, oversize great kiva\, a nazha\, and roads. The Hinkson site appears to be the center of a 250 square kilometer community with 70 room blocks and nearly 900 rooms. The Los Gigantes Site in the El Morro Valley has similar expressions of public architecture but many fewer roomblocks in the immediate vicinity. Recognition of these multi-room block communities with public architecture permits a rethinking of post-Chacoan\, Ancestral Pueblo social organization south of Chaco and provides a more plausible bridge between the Chacoan and Pueblo IV periods in the Zuni region.

SUMMARY:Beyond the stone giants: an isotopic perspective on life and death of the people buried at Mont’e Prama
DESCRIPTION:November 19\, 2024\n7:30 p.m. ET\nDavidson College\nBelk Visual Arts Center 117\nFree and open to the public \nLuca Lai\, “Beyond the stone giants: an isotopic perspective on life and death of the people buried at Mont’e Prama” \nAbout the lecture:\nThe accidental 1974 discovery of tens of fragmentary statues at Mont’e Prama\, in central-western Sardinia\, led to one of the most unexpected discoveries in recent Mediterranean archaeology: A unique necropolis with thousands of fragments of stone warriors and athletes representing one of the earliest examples of life-sized 3D figures west of the Aegean.\nAfter a brief summary of the monumental aspects and the main interpretations of the site’s meaning\, the talk will explore the less-publicized insights into the chronology\, burial ritual\, health\, diet\, and mobility as they begin to take shape from mortuary archaeology\, osteology\, and especially the isotopic analyses of their bones. This will also provide an opportunity to discuss the site’s role in today’s public debates surrounding the archaeology of the Nuragic culture and its special place in shaping modern Sardinian identity. \nAbout the speaker:\nLuca Lai\, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at UNC Charlotte\, specializes in stable isotopes\, Western Mediterranean prehistory and particularly Sardinia\, and human-environment interactions. He has conducted research on paleodiet and paleoclimate in prehistoric Sardinia from the fifth through the first millennium BCE\, focusing on long-term continuity and change\, and on differential access to resources based on social status and gender. He grew up in Sardinia and has also lived in Ireland\, the US\, England\, and Lesotho. He has worked on favoring the dissemination of archaeology\, culture and current events awareness with special attention to the perspectives of minorities.

SUMMARY:Serpent Mound - An Icon of Ancient Ohio
DESCRIPTION:The second presentation in the Archaeological Institute of America Dayton Society’s 2024-2025 Lecture Series presented by Dr. Brad Lepper\, Senior Archaeologist World Heritage Program\, Ohio History Connection \nSerpent Mound in Adams County\, Ohio is one of the largest and most spectacular earthen sculptures in the world. The age of the serpent is a subject of much current debate with some archaeologists arguing that it was built by the Adena culture at around 300 B.C.E. and others favoring the Fort Ancient culture at around 1100 C.E. Although much about Serpent Mound still is shrouded in mystery\, ancient cave paintings in Missouri may provide a key to unlocking some of its secrets. \nThis lecture is scheduled to take place in person in the Science Center Auditorium (SC 114) at The University of Dayton.\nFor a campus map with building and parking information visit https://udayton.edu/map/ \nThanks to the Archaeological Institute of America’s Lecture Program and its Dayton Society members this lecture is free and open to the public.
