SUMMARY:SAIG 2026 Dissertation Lecture: "Remembering Collapse: Understanding Ritual at Abandoned Late Bronze Age Sites on Crete through the lens of Social Trauma Theory" with Sarah Malik Bell
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Student Affairs Interest Group for their annual Dissertation Lecture featuring Sarah Malik Bell\, who received her PhD from Brown University in 2025\, for her talk\, “Remembering Collapse: Understanding Ritual at Abandoned Late Bronze Age Sites on Crete through the lens of Social Trauma Theory” on Tuesday\, September 22nd at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT. The lecture will be held on Zoom – please register here. \n  \n \nAbstract: \nThis talk will discuss social trauma theory—a theory that is currently applied almost exclusively to social traumas originating in the contemporary moment—and its applicability to ancient archaeological contexts. Bell will discuss the ritual practices covered in her dissertation and map the periodic renewal of these practices against the material evidence for subsequent episodes of social change on the island of Crete. She will show that\, as social trauma theory allows us to predict\, embodied ritual practices became vital resources in the repeated reification of post-collapse identities during times of increased social threat on the island. She will also touch on regional variation and sociopolitical change to discuss long-term sociopolitical developments on Crete\, including the development of the Cretan Poleis. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nSarah Malik Bell\, PhD is Assistant Professor of Art History and Archaeology at Berea College. She received her PhD in archaeology from the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University\, specializing in the ritual visitation of abandoned sites associated with social trauma in both the ancient and the contemporary worlds. Her current research continues to focus on the material legacies of difficult heritage and the role these legacies play in healing and/or perpetuating past trauma.

SUMMARY:The Shabaqo Stone: From Egyptian Myth to Kushite Identity
DESCRIPTION:The Shabaqo Stone is a monument that preserves some of the most important religious writings to survive from ancient Egypt. It was carved for Shabaqo\, a Kushite king who ruled Egypt during the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty (ca. 722–655 BCE). One of its central texts is the so‑called “Memphite Theology\,” which portrays the god Ptah as a universal creator who brings the world into being through the powers of thought and speech. In this talk\, Joshua Roberson will introduce the Shabaqo Stone’s historical and religious significance\, and reveal a behind-the-scenes look at the first-ever digital documentation of this remarkable monument\, carried out at the British Museum in 2019. Explore new insights\, recent discoveries\, and the cutting‑edge technologies that are transforming our understanding of one of Egypt’s most fascinating theological texts.

SUMMARY:Studying & Publishing Theban Tomb n°7: (A) Tomb of the Scribe Ramose at Deir el-Medina
DESCRIPTION:RE-SCHEDULED\nSaturday\, Sept. 26\n3:30 pm EST\nIn-person only at the Penn Museum\, Classroom L2\nNo registration required \nSpeaker: Prof. Marie-Lys Arnette\, Assistant Professor and Alexander Badawy Chair in Egyptian Art & Archaeology\, Dept. of Near Eastern Studies\, Johns Hopkins University \nTitle: Studying & Publishing Theban Tomb n°7: (A) Tomb of the Scribe Ramose at Deir el-Medina \nAbstract:\nRamose served first as “Scribe of the Place of Truth” and later as “Royal Scribe” at Deir el-Medina during the reign of Ramesses II. A prominent member of the community\, closely connected to the royal administration\, he was probably the wealthiest inhabitant the village ever knew. More than one hundred monuments associated with him have survived\, including statues\, stelae\, ostraca\, and other inscribed objects. Despite the importance of this individual\, his tombs (TT 7 and TT 212) have never been fully published\, probably because of their poor state of preservation. My current research project aims to produce the first comprehensive study and publication of both monuments. The project is accompanied by a conservation and restoration program for TT 7\, undertaken in preparation for its future opening to the public.\nThis paper focuses on TT 7. It will present the project’s main research questions and methodology\, before examining the tomb’s architecture and its remarkable decorative program. TT 7 stands out in several respects. Its paintings are of exceptional quality\, executed by one or more highly accomplished artists working within the refined artistic tradition that still characterized the early years of Ramesses II’s reign. The decoration also preserves otherwise unattested iconographic details and artistic techniques that are only rarely encountered elsewhere. The tomb’s decorative programme further testifies to the importance of the Sokar festival in the Theban region during the Ramesside period. Finally\, it contains religious texts of major significance\, including the earliest known version of the ritual text for the protection of the Neshemet bark.\nThe paper will also present the conservation and restoration strategy adopted for the monument\, discussing the methodological choices that have guided the intervention in view of its future accessibility to visitors. By combining archaeological research\, art historical analysis\, and the history of religions\, the project seeks to provide a new foundation for the study and long-term preservation of one of the most remarkable monuments of Ramesside Deir el-Medina. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Marie-Lys Arnette studied at the École du Louvre (History of Art and Museology) and at the University of Paris-Sorbonne (Egyptology). After completing her PhD\, she served as Director of Publications and then as Scientific Member at the Institut français d’archéologie orientale (Ifao\, Cairo). Before joining Johns Hopkins University\, she taught Egyptian art history\, archaeology\, and Middle Egyptian language at the École du Louvre (France)\, the University Lumière Lyon 2 (France)\, and the University of Fribourg (Switzerland). She is a member of the Archaeological Mission at the Precinct of the Goddess Mut in South Karnak (JHU/Liverpool University) and of the Mission for the Study and Restoration of Deir el-Medina (Ifao).\nHer research falls within the field of historical anthropology\, approached through cultural history\, with particular interests in perceptions of the body and emotions\, food practices\, funerary imagery\, and\, more recently\, ludic practices. Across diverse topics\, her work consistently combines Egyptian textual sources\, iconography\, and material culture within a long-term perspective. Her research is characterized by a sustained engagement with interdisciplinary approaches drawn from the humanities and social sciences\, a perspective that is also central to her teaching. \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.

DESCRIPTION:Construction of the Henry Street Bridge brought renewed attention to portions of Indianapolis’ historic Old and New Burying Grounds\, later known collectively as Greenlawn Cemetery.\nArchaeologists documented more than 1\,700 burial shafts within the project area\, revealing a complex landscape shaped by nineteenth-century burial\, earlier relocation efforts\, and more than a century of urban development. This talk explores how archaeology\, bioarchaeology\, historical research\, and community collaboration are helping reconstruct the cemetery’s history and the lives of the people buried there\, while guiding their respectful care and eventual reburial.

SUMMARY:Imperial Barge: Cleopatra the Goddess
DESCRIPTION:Charles Eliot Norton Memorial Lectureship \nSpeaker: Dr. Alison Futrell\, University of Arizona  \nAbstract:\nOne of the key motifs in popular representations of the last of the Ptolemies is Cleopatra’s Barge\, a nexus of seduction\, pleasure\, gratification. For the historical Cleopatra VII\, the barge was a political and religious platform for shaping positive interactions with diverse audiences in the ancient Mediterranean\, meant to stabilize and secure her realm and shape a vision for future authority\, with power strongly founded in the past. In Egypt\, Cleopatra reinforced connections with local powerbrokers and processed between ritual centers\, a dynamic divine ruler enacting key functions that ensured the practical and sacred continuity of her realm. Her famous Nile Cruise with Julius Caesar was a sacred pageant that featured her newly secured strength as queen\, goddess\, partner and chosen of the gods. Her notorious meeting with Antony on the barque of Isis was both a ritualized performance of royal leadership and the reassertion of dynastic claims\, the launch of a new Empire rising in the Eastern Mediterranean.

SUMMARY:Regions and Other Constructs in Pre-Hellenistic Western Anatolia
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Prof. Jana Mokrišová (Brown University) \nThe AIA’s 2026 Rodney S. Young Memorial Lecture  \nAbstract:\nWestern Anatolia was a multicultural space\, with much scholarly attention given to the interaction between Greeks and non-Greeks and maritime connectivity with the Greek world. A crucial reason for this is the tradition of post-Bronze Age migrations and the fact that by the Archaic period many coastal communities here were ‘Greek’\, explicitly claiming Greek identity as well as employing Greek institutions\, cult\, and language. This happened in Ionia and most of Aeolis\, while Karia and Lydia maintained a stronger connection to indigenous western Anatolian traditions. Surprisingly\, the way in which this process unfolded is still incompletely understood and often contested. \nDrawing on settlement patterns from the end of the Late Bronze Age to the Classical period\, this talk will shed light on the way in which archaeologists and historians have drawn cultural regional boundaries in western Anatolia. It will discuss their use as markers of connectivity and trace their development over time. It will then zoom onto the coastal and riverine corridors between Ephesos and Lydia to show that regionalization as a framework fails to account for cultural ambivalence that many communities there must have felt in their daily lives.

SUMMARY:When Hieroglyphs Came Alive: Sacred Writing in the Temples of Roman Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, Oct. 10\n3:30 pm EST\nIn-person only at the Penn Museum\, Anthro Classroom 345\nFREE Lecture! No registration required \nSpeaker: Prof. Hazem Farrag\, Assistant Professor of Egyptology – Ain Shams University\, Cairo\, Egypt \nTitle: When Hieroglyphs Came Alive: Sacred Writing in the Temples of Roman Egypt \nAbstract:\nHow did hieroglyphic writing change in the temples of Roman Egypt? Why did temple walls become increasingly dense\, visual\, and symbolically rich? Focusing on temples such as Esna\, Dendera\, Edfu\, Kom Ombo\, and Philae\, this lecture explores how sacred writing developed into one of the most creative and intellectually sophisticated expressions of late Egyptian religion. Through inscriptions\, images\, and temple examples\, the talk examines how hieroglyphs acquired expanded visual and symbolic roles\, and how priests and temple scholars reshaped sacred knowledge under Roman rule. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Hazem Farrag is an Assistant Professor of Egyptology at Ain Shams University\, Cairo. His research explores Ancient Egyptian language\, literature\, temple inscriptions\, sacred semiotics\, and visual dimensions of hieroglyphic communication. He is also interested in museum interpretation\, heritage education\, and digital approaches to presenting ancient Egyptian culture. He currently serves on the Board of AVICOM–ICOM. \n******************\nFREE Lecture!\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.

DESCRIPTION:To commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the US Navy and the Battle of Valcour Island\, the Naval History and Heritage Command is highlighting two significant wrecks which represent ongoing but diverse research projects. \nThese wrecks represent some of the earliest of surviving examples of American naval forces\, and provide opportunities to study and elaborate on early naval history\, battle tactics\, living conditions aboard naval craft\, and ship design. \nRoyal Savage was Benedict Arnold’s flagship early in the battle and was in the immediate line of fire when the British entered Valcour Bay. The schooner ran aground before burning and sinking off Valcour Island. It was raised 158 years later\, disassembled\, then stored over the next 81 years before being returned in pieces to NHHC for documentation\, study\, and reconstruction in the form of scale models. \nIn stark contrast\, the gunboat Spitfire still rests intact on the Lake Champlain lakebed in remarkable condition and has been recently visited and documented by Lake Champlain Maritime Museum and NHHC\, with further work planned to preserve this sole intact in situ US naval vessel from the Revolutionary War. \nThis presentation will focus on the history and archaeology of the battle and of these specific wrecks from Valcour. At the end of the presentation\, we will introduce a new project for the Navy and partners\, with a long-term goal of recovering and conserving a rare WWII artifact for display in the planned new National Museum of the US Navy.

SUMMARY:The Tobacco Takers: Puritans\, Pipes\, and Bodily Care
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous to the Americas and cultivated by Native peoples for thousands of years\, tobacco was introduced to Europeans in the 16th century\, and by the early 17th century\, it had spread across the globe. In Puritan New England\, religious leaders condemned tobacco as sinful while early practitioners used it as medicine. Clay tobacco pipes commonly found at 17th-century archaeological sites in Massachusetts reveal widespread use despite strict social and religious restrictions. Drawing from her new book\, The Tobacco Takers: Puritanism\, Smoking\, Health\, and the Archaeology of Bodily Care (Bloomsbury Publishing\, 2026)\, Diana DiPaolo Loren\, deputy director for curatorial affairs and senior curator at Harvard’s Peabody Museum\, will share archaeological\, archival\, and visual evidence that recasts tobacco and tobacco pipes as tools of bodily care for both physical and metaphysical ailments. The program will include a conversation with archaeologist Stephen W. Silliman. \nCopies of The Tobacco Takers will be available for purchase after the program. Advance registration is recommended. \nFree event parking is available with registration at the 52 Oxford Street Garage\, starting at 5:00 pm. Register by October 12th\, 2026 to receive parking registration instructions. \nPresented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.
