SUMMARY:Inside the Temple of Murals: Teen Saturdays Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In-Person Youth Program \nJoin us for an immersive virtual reality workshop at the Harvard Peabody Museum\, where teens can discover the fascinating art of the ancient Maya through the Bonampak murals located in Chiapas\, Mexico. Through engaging activities and discussions\, teens will explore the themes depicted in these murals\, including dance\, music\, and ceremonial rituals. In a hands-on activity\, they will recreate elements from the murals using similar pigments and traditional Maya art techniques\, encouraging them to appreciate the materials and methods of Maya artists. \nTeen Saturday Workshops are offered bilingually in Spanish and English. They are designed to build community and improve the museum experience for multicultural teens. Snacks provided! \n$10 fee includes free admission to all HMSC museums following the workshop. \nAdvance registration required. \nTeens receive a membership worth $100 after attending three or more Teen Saturday Workshops per semester. Or\, receive a free admission pass (worth $15) for a return visit if you attend one of the four sessions. \nFebruary 8: Writing Maya Glyphs\nMarch 8: Divine Maya Cacao\nApril 12: Inside the Temple of Murals\nMay 17: Cochineal Red \nPresented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.

SUMMARY:A DEM-onstration of Quantitative 3D Analysis: Lower Nubia in the Recent and Distant Past
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 12\n3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2\nIn-person; no registration required \nSpeaker: Rolland Long\, PhD Candidate\, UPenn \nTitle: “A DEM-onstration of Quantitative 3D Analysis: Lower Nubia in the Recent and Distant Past” \nAbstract:\nSoon after the declassification of satellite imagery from the CORONA satellite spy-mission in the mid-1990’s\, archaeologists working around the world recognized quickly recognized their value. The spy mission\, which had originally been designed to provide intelligence on Soviet bomber and missile capabilities during the Cold War\, also recorded the appearance of archaeological sites and landscapes heavily altered or destroyed by recent urban development. This talk focuses on a burgeoning new application of CORONA imagery: the generation of historical Digital Elevation Models (DEM) from such images\, which can yield important quantitative insights about terrain no longer in existence.\nSpecifically\, this talk will produce several DEM’s produced over Lower Nubia\, which has been subject to flooding and rising water levels since the establishment of the Aswan High Dam about half-a-century ago. Though a heroic international effort had sought to salvage as much archaeological information as possible prior to its construction\, much about the ancient history of the area has been swept away forever. These DEM’s will situate the Egyptian forts of several areas\, including Semna and Askut\, within their larger geographical context. Certain physical features of these fortresses\, such as intervisibility between forts and their proximity to overland routes\, can now be verified quantitatively with these DEM’s in conjunction with GIS toolkits. \nSpeaker Bio:\nRolland Long is a PhD Candidate in Egyptian archaeology at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to attending Penn\, he earned his BA from the University of Chicago\, where he graduated with honors in Egyptology. His research focuses on the post-Middle Kingdom occupation of Wah-Sut\, on which he currently dissertates\, as well as the general character of ancient urbanism in Egypt. He works primarily as a field archaeologist\, and has worked 7 field seasons in South Abydos with Penn. \nIn addition\, Rolland is interested in the larger\, quantitative problems that concern ancient Egypt\, such as demography\, as well as remote sensing and the analytical utilization of 3D modeling. He also possesses a strong curiosity regarding philology and grammar; he worked several years as a research assistant at the Chicago Demotic Dictionary (CDD) during his graduate career. \n******************\nLectures are FREE to ARCE-PA chapter members\, $7 for University of Pennsylvania Museum Members and UPenn Staff and Faculty\, $5 for Students with ID\, and $10 for the general public.\nCoffee\, tea\, and cookies 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.
