SUMMARY:Teaching Ma'at in Prison
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 Dr. Rita Lucarelli\, UC Berkeley: \n“Teaching Ma’at in Prison” \nSunday May 4\, 2025\, 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time\nRoom 56 Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley \nThis is an in-person lecture and is not virtual. No registration is required.\nThe lecture will be recorded. \nAbout the Lecture: \nThe lecture will discuss the innovative experience of teaching a course on Ancient Egypt at San Quentin State Prison\, focusing on the engagement of incarcerated students with the subject matter. Dr. Lucarelli will detail the significance of discussing concepts such as Ma’at\, justice\, and ethics within the context of both ancient Egyptian culture and the contemporary experiences of the students. The results indicate that the study of Egyptology offers meaningful insights for rehabilitation and education\, breaking the boundaries of the prison environment and facilitating a unique learning atmosphere. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Rita Lucarelli is an Associate Professor of Egyptology in the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Culture\, and the Class of 1939 Chair of Undergraduate Education. She is the Faculty Curator of Egyptology at the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology and a Fellow of the Digital Humanities at UC Berkeley. She is presently working at a project aiming at realizing 3D models of ancient Egyptian coffins\, the Book of the Dead in 3D. She is also completing a new monograph on demonology in ancient Egypt entitled Agents of punishment and protection: ancient Egyptian Demonology in the First Millenium BCE. Dr. Lucarelli teaches\, lectures and researches Egyptomania and the reception of ancient Egypt in the contemporary world\, in particular on the representation of ancient Egypt in Afrofuturism. She also teaches courses of Egyptology\, Comparative Religion and Interdisciplinary Writing at San Quentin State Prison through the Mount Tamalpais College (https://www.mttamcollege.org/). \nDr. Lucarelli studied at the University of Naples “L’Orientale\,” Italy\, where she received her MA degree in Classical Languages and Egyptology. She holds her Ph.D. from Leiden University\, the Netherlands. Her Ph.D. thesis was published as The Book of the Dead of Gatseshen: Ancient Egyptian Funerary Religion in the 10th Century BC.

SUMMARY:The cemeteries of Deir el-Bahari and Asasif in the early Middle Kingdom: Recent work by the University of Alcalá expedition to Luxor
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 10\n3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2\nIn-person; no registration required \nSpeaker: Dr. Antonio Morales\, Associate Professor of Egyptology\, University of Alcala \nTitle: The cemeteries of Deir el-Bahari and Asasif in the early Middle Kingdom: Recent work by the University of Alcalá expedition to Luxor \nAbstract:\nThe reunification achieved during the reign of king Nebhepetre Mentuhotep II signified the emergence of a pristine Egyptian state built upon a culture of traditions and transformations centralized at Thebes. The city became a melting-pot of political\, religious\, and cultural decisions\, mostly aiming at the reconstruction of the administrative system\, the control of the land and its resources\, and –more importantly– the boosting of kingship and the new dynasty. In this setting\, the role of the high officials became pivotal. \nIn the last ten years\, the University of Alcalá Expedition and its Middle Kingdom Theban Project (thebanproject.com/en/) have set up a multidisciplinary and international team of experts that is conducting archaeological excavation\, epigraphic work\, and conservation in the tombs of some of these officials from the late Eleventh and early Twelfth dynasties. The documentation and study of the tombs of the viziers Dagi (TT 103) and Ipi (TT 315)\, the hight steward Henenu (TT 313)\, and the overseer of prisons Djari (TT 366)\, among others\, will no doubt allow scholars to have a better understanding of the role of Thebes in the construction of the classical age in pharaonic history: the Middle Kingdom. The ARCE-PA lecture will cover the major questions posed by this research\, the major lines of investigation of the project\, and the results of this expedition after ten years working in the areas of Asasif and Deir el-Bahari (2014-2024). \nSpeaker Bio:\nAntonio Morales is Associate Professor in Egyptology in the Seminar of Ancient History at the University of Alcalá (UAH). This past January\, he joined the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at Yale University as Fulbright Visiting Scholar for one semester. In 2022\, he was visiting professor at the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University. Previously\, he was Research Associate in Egyptology at Freie Universität Berlin\, postdoctoral researcher at Heidelberg Universität\, and research collaborator at the Department of Egypt and Sudan in the British Museum (London). He obtained his PhD in Egyptology from the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia 2013) with a dissertation dealing with the transmission of the Pyramid Texts from the Old to the Middle Kingdoms. Antonio Morales has participated in various expeditions to Egypt (Abydos\, Dra Abu el-Naga\, El-Amra\, Qaw el-Kebir\, Qubbet el-Hawa\, Saqqara)\, and is currently the director of The Middle Kingdom Theban Project. He has published multiple articles in scientific journals and contributions to books\, including a recent co-edition (with Alejandro Jiménez-Serrano) on Middle Kingdom archaeology and history in the Harvard Egyptological Studies (Brill 2022)\, and a monograph on the transmission of Pyramid Texts of Nut (Hamburg\, Buske Verlag\, 2019). \n******************\nLectures 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:SAIG 2025 Dissertation Lecture: "Burial Practices\, Chamber Tombs\, and Non-Palatial Communities in the Mycenaean Argolid" with Sophie Cushman
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Student Affairs Interest Group for their annual Dissertation Lecture featuring Sophie Cushman\, PhD candidate at the University of California\, Berkeley\, for her talk\, “Burial Practices\, Chamber Tombs\, and Non-Palatial Communities in the Mycenaean Argolid” on Wednesday\, May 14th at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT. The lecture will be held on Zoom – please register here. \n  \n \n  \nAbstract: \nWith over 4\,000 documented examples\, rock-carved chamber tombs were by far the most common type of tomb in Late Bronze Age Greece (ca. 1600-1070 BCE). In the Argolid in particular\, over 650 chamber tombs are known. However\, previous interpretations of Mycenaean burial practices in this region have focused on the same\, limited number of “wealthy” cemeteries and tombs\, primarily located around the Argive plain. This talk instead considers Mycenaean burial practices from a bottom-up perspective based on a comprehensive study of all known cemeteries and tombs in the Argolid\, tracing developments in chamber tomb use from the adoption of the type by select groups at the transition to the Late Bronze Age to the adaptation of existing burial practices in the second half of the period. First\, I analyze the chronological and geographical distribution of chamber tomb cemeteries\, proving that the type was adopted throughout the entire Argolid before the institutionalization of the palatial system. In fact\, very few sites adopted chamber tombs for the first time during the palatial period. This conclusion challenges existing top-down narratives that see mortuary developments in the Argolid as imposed by or radiating out from the palatial centers of Mycenae and Tiryns. Next\, I identify a change in secondary burial practices at the start of the palatial period. Drawing on a wide body of anthropological and archaeological theory\, I argue that local burying groups actively adapted their mortuary behavior to emphasize local\, kin-based claims to resources–both material and immaterial–in response to the increasing political and economic authority of the palace centers. I ultimately suggest that the chamber tomb took on new\, and potentially subversive\, meanings within the context of the palatial period. By shifting focus from wealthy tombs and the palace to the decision making processes of local burying groups\, this project offers a fresh perspective on Mycenaean burial practices and social structure and contributes to our knowledge of those beyond the center of Mycenaean society. \n\nAbout the speaker: \nSophie Cushman is a PhD candidate in Classical Archaeology at the University of California\, Berkeley. Sophie specializes in Aegean prehistory\, especially the second millennium BCE. Her research focuses on burial practices\, sociopolitical organization\, and pottery and material culture. An active field archaeologist\, Sophie has excavated on Crete and throughout the Peloponnese. She is currently a senior staff member of the Nemea Center for Classical Archaeology’s excavation and publication projects at the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea\, the multi-period cemetery of Aidonia\, and Petsas House\, Mycenae. Her dissertation offers the first comprehensive study of chamber tombs in the northeast Peloponnese\, examining developments in burial practices from the perspective of small local communities as they responded to the increasing authority and subsequent collapse of regional centers during the Mycenaean period.
