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.
