"New Views on an Old Temple: The Parthenon and Its Decoration"
2023-04-13 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | WA
2023 Richard Hubbard Howland Lecture, Washington, DC Society; by Professor Jenifer Neils, Professor Emerita, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH
The Parthenon on the Athenian Acropolis is perhaps the most readily recognizable building in the world, and during the past two millennia our understanding of it and its sculptural decoration has continued to evolve. This lecture will examine some of these changing interpretations and how they are – or are not – related to the cultural, social and political context of 5th-century BCE Athens. Primarily a lavish marble temple dedicated to the patron goddess of Athens, the Parthenon is also a civic monument celebrating the democratic state’s victories in war, the valor of its heroes, the beauty of its citizenry, and even the status of its women.

Finding Lost, Stolen, and Kidnapped Children in Indian Boarding School Cemeteries Using Multi-Instrument Geophysical Survey: Chemawa Indian Boarding School
2023-04-15 10:30 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Science Center Auditorium (SC 114) at The University of Dayton., 450 East Stewart St, Dayton, OH, 45409, United States
The final presentation in the Archaeological Institute of America’s Dayton Society 2022-2023 Lecture Series presented by Northern Cheyenne Tribe citizen Marsha Small, M.A. from Montana State University and Dr. Jarrod Burks from Ohio Valley Archaeology, Inc.
Since 2016 Marsha Small and Jarrod Burks have been conducting geophysical investigations to identify the locations of over 200 unmarked burials at the Chemawa Boarding School in Salem, OR. The school originally opened in 1880 and today is one of four remaining off-reservation boarding schools funded and operated by the federal Bureau of Indian Education (BIE). From the 1880s to about 1940 students who died at the school were buried in the school cemetery. Disturbances in the cemetery had by 1960 removed any grave markers that were there and since then new markers were placed to create a memorial garden, though those markers did not mark actual grave locations.
This lecture is currently scheduled to take place in person in the Science Center Auditorium (SC 114) at The University of Dayton.

ARCE-PA Lecture by Dr. Ellen Morris, Barnard College
2023-04-15 15:30 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Penn Museum, 3260 South St, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, United States
ARCE-PA Lecture
Saturday April 15 at 3:30pm
Penn Museum, Classroom L2
Speaker: Dr. Ellen Morris, Associate Professor of Ancient Studies, Barnard College, Columbia University
Lecture Topic: Famine and Festival in Ancient Egypt
Abstract:
In pharaonic and Greco-Roman Egypt, two occurrences had the power to radically transform the status quo: revolts and episodes of mass mortality. When the two co-occurred, they destabilized a rigid social hierarchy. Such moments – at which underlings threatened to gain the upper hand or at least exhibited a marked reluctance to return to their former subservience – caused an immense degree of anxiety among Egypt’s elites. Extremely severe famines and the plagues that often engendered this destabilization occurred infrequently. The magnitude of the upheavals and social transformations that happened in their wake, however, ensured that their memory was passed down (and needed to be passed down) through generations as a caution. For people who knew only strong kings and times of plenty, it was necessary to “remember” hunger, suffering, and terror in order that warning signs be taken seriously. Although written testimony and prophesy helped keep such memories alive, echoes of social upheavals incorporated into festivities surrounding the Egyptian New Year may have been far more effective agents of intergenerational transmission.
Speaker Bio:
Dr. Ellen Morris, an Associate Professor of Ancient Studies at Barnard College, Columbia University, writes on imperialism, political fragmentation, state formation, sexuality and sacred performance, retainer sacrifice, landscape theory, and divine kingship in Egypt’s social history. Since receiving her Ph.D. in Egyptology at the (esteemed) University of Pennsylvania, she has published a great many articles (most of which are freely available on academia.edu) and two books: The Architecture of Imperialism: Military Bases and the Evolution of Foreign Policy in Egypt’s New Kingdom (Brill, 2005), Ancient Egyptian Imperialism (Wiley-Blackwell, 2018). A Cambridge Element titled Famine and Feast in Ancient Egypt is forthcoming in 2023. She has also excavated at Abydos, Mendes, Deir el-Ballas and Amheida at Dakhleh Oasis.

The Hidden Treasures of Elephantine Island
2023-04-16 15:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | ARCE Egyptology Lectures Room 20 Social Sciences Building, University of California, Berkeley, CA, 94720, United States
The American Research Center in Egypt, Northern California Chapter, and the Near Eastern Studies Department, University of California, Berkeley, invite you to attend a lecture by Prof. Dr. Verena Lepper, National Museums, Berlin:
“The Hidden Treasures of Elephantine Island”
Sunday, April 16, 2023, 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time
Room 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)
UC Berkeley
About the Lecture:
Elephantine was a militarily and strategically very important island on the river Nile at the southern border of Egypt. No other settlement in Egypt is so well attested through texts over such a long period of time, 4000 years. Its inhabitants form a multi-ethnic, multicultural and multi-religious community that left us vast amounts of written sources detailing their everyday lives from the Old Kingdom to beyond the Arab Conquest. Today, several thousand papyri and other manuscripts from Elephantine are scattered in more than 60 institutions in 24 different countries across Europe and beyond. Their texts are written in ten different languages and scripts, including Hieroglyphs, Hieratic, Demotic, Aramaic, Greek, Coptic and Arabic. 80% of these manuscripts were unpublished or unstudied before.
Thus, access was gained to these texts, making them publicly available in an open access online research database. Links could be identified between papyrus fragments from different collections, and an international ‘papyrus puzzle’ undertaken, incorporating cutting-edge methods from digital humanities, physics and mathematics (e.g. for the virtual unfolding of papyri). For the first time in the history of papyrology, papyrus packages can now be read virtually, without physically opening them. Using this database with medical, religious, legal, administrative, even literary texts, the everyday life of the local and global (i.e. ‘glocal’) community of Elephantine can be studied. Elephantine can thus be used as a case study and a model for the past, present and future.
About the Lecturer:
Prof. Dr. Verena Lepper is the Curator of the Egyptian and Oriental Papyrus Collection of the Egyptian Museum, National Museums Berlin (Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation) and Honorary Professor at the Humboldt University Berlin. She is in charge of a collection with around 30,000 objects in ten different languages and scripts and has managed several exhibition and research projects in Germany and abroad (Abu Dhabi, Berlin, Bonn, Doha, Harvard) with a team of employees.
She conducts research on topics such as Egyptian and Oriental papyri, literary and cultural history, and the history of science and art. To this end, she has published numerous books and exhibition catalogues with international publishers.
Dr. Lepper studied Egyptology, Semitic Philology, Christian Orient Studies and Hebrew Bible at Bonn, Cologne, Tuebingen, Oxford and Harvard University. She has received several awards for her scientific and curatorial work, including the highly renowned ERC-Grant from the European Research Council for the project: “Elephantine”.
To promote Arab-German academic exchange, she founded the Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA) in 2013. She is involved in numerous committees in the field of scientific and cultural policy and diplomacy. Visiting professorships and fellowships have also taken her to Harvard and Princeton University.

Divine Mortals: Royal Ancestor Worship in Deir el-Medina (Hybrid Lecture)
2023-04-18 18:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Geological Lecture Hall, 24 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138, United States
Yasmin El Shazly, Deputy Director for Research and Programs, American Research Center in Egypt
The Egyptian craftsmen and artists who created and decorated royal tombs during the New Kingdom period (ca. 1550–1070 BCE) lived in Deir el-Medina. Today, this well-preserved village is a key source of information about the daily lives, artistic practices, and religious traditions of ancient Egyptians. Yasmin El Shazly will discuss the importance of ancestor worship in Deir el-Medina—particularly of Amenhotep I and his mother Ahmose-Nefertari. Prominently featured in homes, artwork, and tombs, these two royal figures held important positions in the Egyptian “hierarchy of being” and exerted great influence over the daily lives of Deir el-Medina residents.
Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage.

The Arizona Sicily Project: Survey and Excavations in the province of Trapani presented by Dr. Emma Blake
2023-04-19 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Denver) | CU Museum of Natural History, Broadway, Boulder, CO, 80309, United States
A decade of fieldwork in westernmost Sicily has revealed a previously unnoticed pattern: high quantities of North African artifacts in virtually all periods, from the Paleolithic to the present day. From prehistoric stone tools, to Carthaginian amphoras and Roman finewares, to the soda bottles of contemporary migrants, a picture emerges of a deep and enduring localized connection between Sicily and Tunisia. This talk presents the material traces of Tunisian influence in western Sicily from two field surveys and a new excavation, and explores the significance and nature of those complex interactions across the Sicilian Channel.
Bio: Emma Blake (Ph.D. University of Cambridge), is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. She is Editor-in-Chief (with Robert Schon) of the American Journal of Archaeology. Blake is a Mediterranean archaeologist, focusing on identity construction in Italy in the second and first millennia BCE. She is the author of Social Networks and Regional Identity in Bronze Age Italy (Cambridge University Press 2014), as well as numerous articles. She has conducted fieldwork in western Sicily for many years and directs an archaeological field survey tracing the extent of Tunisian influence in western Sicily in all periods. She is co-directing new excavations at the ancient city of Segesta, Sicily.

New Perspectives on the African Empire of Kush: Excavation at Jebel Barkal
2023-05-07 15:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | ARCE Egyptology Lectures Room 20 Social Sciences Building, University of California, Berkeley, CA, 94720, United States
The American Research Center in Egypt, Northern California Chapter, and the Near Eastern Studies Department, University of California, Berkeley, invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Geoff Emberling, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, Univ. of Michigan:
“New Perspectives on the African Empire of Kush: Excavation at Jebel Barkal”
Sunday, May 7, 2023, 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time
Room 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)
UC Berkeley
About the Lecture:
Kush was the dominant political power in the Middle Nile region of northern Sudan for over 2000 years (ca. 2000 BCE – 300 CE). Our understanding of this extensive ancient empire has long been constrained by the long legacy of focus on monumental remains (palaces, temples, pyramids) at the expense of investigation of settlements that would broaden our understanding of Kushite economy and social identities.
A joint project of the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums of Sudan and the University of Michigan has begun work on a newly discovered area of settlement at Jebel Barkal (ancient Napata), one of the major cities of Kush (and a UNESCO World Heritage site). This talk will present the results of our first seasons of work on Meroitic levels of settlement at the site, contemporary with the Roman occupation of Egypt (1st century BCE – 1st century CE).
About the Lecturer:
Dr. Geoff Emberling is an archaeologist and museum curator who has worked extensively on ancient cultures of North Africa and the Middle East. His research has focused on identities, urbanism and empires in Mesopotamia and in Nubia. He has directed projects in northern Sudan over the past 15 years and his team is just beginning its work at Jebel Barkal, the “pure mountain” of the ancient Egyptians and capital city of ancient Kush.

ARCE-PA Lecture by Dr. Jessica Tomkins, Wofford College
2023-05-07 15:30 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Penn Museum, 3260 South St, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, United States
ARCE-PA Lecture
Sunday, May 7 at 3:30pm
Penn Museum, Classroom L2
Speaker: Dr. Jessica Tomkins, Assistant Professor of History, Wofford College
Lecture Topic: Rethinking Old Kingdom Kingship
Abstract:
Following Champollion’s decipherment of hieroglyphs, our understanding of Egyptian society advanced at lightning speed with every new text published. However, this rapid pace of scholarship also caused certain early ideas to become engrained in the field as facts rather than interpretations or opinions. In recent decades, scholars have begun to question and break down some of these perceived “truths” such as that of a highly centralized government and the redistributive economy model for early Egyptian society. In doing so, it became clear that these earlier interpretations were based on Eurocentric understandings of the monarchy model of government. This lecture traces how and why the nascent Egyptian state was understood through this Eurocentric lens and the subsequent impact such modes of thinking have had in understanding the Egyptian political state, from the period of state formation through the Old Kingdom. This paper will contribute to the dialog on replacing our Eurocentric understanding of early ancient Egyptian kingship, statehood, and government with one based on African models, with an aim to place our interpretation of ancient Egypt back into its original African context.
Speaker Bio:
Dr. Jessica Tomkins is Assistant Professor of History at Wofford College. She was previously the Terrace Research Associate in Egyptian Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and was the inaugural W. Benson Harer Egyptology Scholar in Residence at California State University, San Bernardino. Jessica was awarded a PhD in Egyptology from Brown in 2019 with a dissertation that examined the display and negotiation of power between the central and provincial governments as seen through Old Kingdom provincial mastabas at Dendera and El Kab. Her current research questions the model of government and modes of power in Old Kingdom Egypt.

Great Lecture: Saving the Archaeology and Monuments of Lower Nubia
2023-06-07 18:00 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | Penn Museum, 3260 South St, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, United States
Beginning in 1902, the archaeological sites and monuments of Lower Nubia were increasingly threatened by the construction of the series of dams on the Nile River at Aswan. By the early 1960s, the ancient land of Lower Nubia had vanished forever beneath the waters of Lake Nasser. Through international efforts, some of the cultural heritage of Lower Nubia was saved (including monuments like the temples of Abu Simbel and Philae); most other sites, such as the fortress of Buhen, a focus of work for the Penn Museum, were destroyed. This talk will examine these sites, the program of rescue archaeology, and the role of the Penn Museum in rescuing the archaeological heritage of Lower Nubia.
Speaker: Josef Wegner, Associate Professor of Egyptian Archaeology, Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and Curator, Egyptian Section, Penn Museum

Symposium Topic: Abydos Through the Ages
Abstract:
ARCE-PA’s June 10 2023 symposium on the archaeology of Abydos will honor the legacy of Dr. David B. O’Connor. In 1967 O’Connor, then Curator of the University Museum’s Egyptian Section, started the Pennsylvania-Yale Expedition to Abydos. During the 1960s-1990s his research at Abydos focused on North Abydos with its cemeteries and temples linked with the cult of the Egyptian funerary god Osiris. Over the course of his later career, both at Penn and then at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, O’Connor was instrumental in fostering a broadening range of intensive archaeological activity at Abydos. New archaeological research occurred in numerous areas such as the late Old Kingdom to Middle Kingdom mortuary landscape of the Middle Cemetery, the royal funerary complexes of Kings Senwosret III and Ahmose at South Abydos, and the memorial temples of Kings Thutmose III and Ramses II. In 2009 O’Connor published Abydos: Egypt’s First Pharaohs and the Cult of Osiris, a book that examined the rich and ever-changing archaeological picture of ancient Abydos. With the continued sponsorship of the Penn Museum, Institute of Fine Arts/New York University, University of Michigan, and other institutions, the program of North American and Egyptian archaeologists working at Abydos, and in Egypt, has grown and prospered thanks to the foundation provided by O’Connor’s long dedication to Egyptian archaeology and the site of Abydos. The symposium will include lectures by scholars who started their careers under David O’Connor, examining past discoveries, their most recent archaeological research at Abydos, and the ways in which O’Connor shaped their own careers.
