SUMMARY:Real Bodies / Represented Bodies: Human-Animal Relationships in Cypriot Sanctuaries
DESCRIPTION:Animals played an important role in Cypriot religion and ritual. Many Cypriot deities were conceived as having animal parts or attributes\, animal iconography was prevalent among votive offerings\, and animal masks were worn in rituals at some sanctuaries. Perhaps the most dramatic and widespread way that humans interacted with animals\, however\, was through animal sacrifice. The ritual killing\, processing\, burning\, and consuming of specially selected animals served as the primary means of communicating and reaffirming the reciprocal relationship between mortals and the divine in Mediterranean religions. This talk will discuss the complicated role that both real animals (those sacrificed and consumed) and imagined animals (those represented artistically) had in Cypriot religious spaces. The evidence suggests the holistic worldview of ancient Cypriots and finds that sanctuaries were charged spaces where humans negotiated their relationships with both the natural and divine worlds.

SUMMARY:Kings\, Queens\, Commoners\, and Captives: What Can Archaeology Tell Us About Dahomean Society in the Era of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade?
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: The Kingdom of Dahomey\, in the modern Republic of Benin\, stands as one of the most comprehensively researched kingdoms in precolonial West Africa. Decades of historical\, anthropological\, and art historical research have cast important light on the origins of the precolonial polity\, and its rise\, expansion\, and transformation through its participation into the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Since the year 2000\, Professor J. Cameron Monroe has led archaeological surveys and excavations at palace sites\, urban centers\, and rural villages across the Abomey Plateau\, the political heartland of the kingdom. In this presentation\, he will discuss how archaeological research is reshaping our understanding of the nature and extent of Dahomey political power in the Atlantic era\, and its impact on local communities across the region.

See the map and directions on the last page.. \n9:00 am. Registration opens. Morning refreshments. \n9:55 – 10:00 am. Welcome and opening remarks. \n10:00 – 10:45 am. The Kchi Pôntegok Petroglyph Project: Recontextualizing the Bellows Falls Petroglyph Site within an Indigenous Landscape. \nGail Golec\, Project Archaeologist\, Monadnock Archaeological Consulting\, Inc. \nInterpretation of Indigenous history has historically been grounded in white Euro-American culture and as a result\, important elements of the Indigenous worldview are often overlooked or disregarded. The Kchi Pôntegok Petroglyph Project\, funded through the National Park Service’s Underrepresented Communities Grant program\, is attempting to address this lack of Indigenous cultural nuance by recontextualizing the Kchi Pôntegok/Bellows Falls site (VT-WD-008) within the wider landscape of the Middle Connecticut River watershed and its resources\, connections and stories\, as well as the regions’ Indigenous and historic archaeological sites. \nGail Golec was born and raised in New Hampshire and has been a professional archaeologist for over 20 years. I’ve undertaken a number of research projects focusing on local women’s\, Black\, Indigenous and LGBTQ+ history and regularly present that research in library and historical society talks as well as in classes through the CALL program at Keene State College. I also have a history podcast about cemeteries called “The Secret Life of Death”. Currently I’m a co-manager of the Kchi Pôntegok Petroglyph Project in Rockingham\, VT. \n10:45 – 11:00 am. Break \n11:00 – 11:45 am. Shallow Water; Deep History: Archaeological Investigations in the Umbagog Lake Region. \nNathan Scholl\, M.A.\, RPA\, Geoarchaeologist. \nUmbagog Lake is located on the border of New Hampshire and Maine in a remote region of both states. This lake is the headwaters of the Androscoggin River and was the historical intersection of at least four indigenous trails. Investigations between 2019 and 2022 of the archaeological records around the region of this lake will be discussed\, from Pre-Contact to Post-Contact periods with insights into the environmental history of the lake as well. \nNathan Scholl has more than 22 years of experience in archaeology and cultural resource management\, including over 15 years as a practicing geoarchaeologist. Mr. Scholl’s geographical expertise is focused on the Northeast\, Southeast\, Mid-Atlantic\, Midwest of the United States\, in addition to the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf. As a geoarchaeologist\, he applies techniques of soil and geomorphological analysis\, as well as basic geophysical techniques\, to archaeological sites for predictive and interpretive purposes. Born and raised in Maine\, his family has deep roots in New England\, with ancestry tracing back to some of the first European settlers\, and he is fascinated by the cultural and environmental history of the region. He currently works as a technical reviewer for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. \n11:45 am – 1:00 pm. Lunch on your own. Information on some nearby places to eat in Portsmouth will be available at the meeting. \n1:00 – 1:30 pm. Business Meeting and Members Forum.\nCandidates for election. For three-year term as a Member-at-Large of the Executive Board: Mark Doperalski and Genevieve Everett. For Treasurer: Scott LaPointe\, replacing Mark Greenly who was elected temporary Treasurer by the Executive in Feb 2023 after Judy Sadoski’s resignation. For Editor: Alix Martin\, for the remainder of the Editor’s term of office until the Annual meeting in 2024. Alix was elected temporary Editor by the Executive Board in November 2022. \n1:30 2:15 pm. The Early Piscataqua Region\, as Seen Through its Ceramic Artifacts. \nDr. Alix Martin\, Archeologist\, Strawbery Banke Museum\, and Dr. Tad Baker\, Professor of History\, Salem State University. \nSport divers Ray and John Demers recovered thousands of historic artifacts from the waters off New Castle in the 1970s\, one of the largest and most important assemblages in the northeast. The Demers Collection is now at New Castle Historical Society where Alix Martin and Tad Baker have been studying and cataloging its ceramics. In the process they are learning exciting details about life in the Piscataqua in the colonial era\, as well as the region’s extensive trade connections throughout the Atlantic world. Many of the ceramics were made in the West Country of England\, a region that many Piscataqua settlers hailed from\, and continued to trade with throughout the seventeenth century. Other finds were made in more distant lands\, including France\, Spain\, Portugal\, Germany and Italy. \nDr. Alix Martin and Dr. Tad Baker both hold a Ph.D. from the College of William and Mary\, and collectively have well over 50 years of experience excavating historical archaeology sites in northern New England. \nActivities after the meeting \n1. Pick up a map of the museum grounds and admire the 37 buildings preserved at Strawbery Banke Museum\, a 10-acre outdoor history museum dedicated to bringing to life over 300 years of history in the same waterfront neighborhood. \n2. Stop by the Carter Collections Center on the west side of the museum campus to visit the archaeology lab and see recent and significant artifacts in the museum collection. The center will be open for half an hour following the end of the meeting. \nIf you have any questions about the meeting\, please contact Mark Greenly at tel: (603) 436-6906 or email: secretary@nhas.org

SUMMARY:The Qeheq Papyrus: A Bridge Between Egyptology and Berberology
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California Chapter\, and the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures\, University of California\, Berkeley\, invite you to attend a lecture by Jason Silvestri\, UC Berkeley: \n“The Qeheq Papyrus: A Bridge Between Egyptology and Berberology” \nSunday\, November 5\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Standard Time\nNote: Daylight Savings Time ends at 2 AM\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\nUC Berkeley \nAbout the Lecture: \nAmong the ancient documents in the collection of the Museo Egizio in Turin\, there is a papyrus\, thought to be from Deir el-Medina\, which records a set of magical spells for the protection against snakes written in an Egyptian script but in the hitherto unidentified language of the Qeheq people. The Qeheq are an infrequently attested North African ethnic group of the late 2nd millennium BCE\, often associated with other\, more well-known ancient “Libyan” groups like the Libu and the Meshwesh. The language recorded on the papyrus exhibits strong similarities to proto-Berber as reconstructed by linguists using data from the modern Amazigh (or Berber) languages\, indigenous to North Africa and still spoken today by an estimated 30-to-40 million people from the Atlantic in the west to the Siwa Oasis in Egypt in the east\, from the Mediterranean in the north to the Niger River in the south. As the papyrus records what is likely to be the earliest textually-attested Amazigh language\, and does so using the Egyptian hieratic script\, it stands as a unique document\, serving as a bridge between two related but often separated academic fields–Egyptology and Berberology/Amazigh Studies. When held in light of other Egyptian textual and onomastic material attesting so-called “Libyan” groups from the 1st millennium BCE\, the language of the Qeheq can contribute toward a clearer understanding of the geographic and temporal extent of ancient Amazigh languages and their speakers’ interactions with neighboring cultural groups\, like the Egyptians. \nAbout the Lecturer: \nJason Silvestri is a PhD candidate in the field of Egyptian Archaeology in the department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures at UC Berkeley. His dissertation research focuses on the social and administrative history of the Libyan Period in Egypt (Dynasties 21 through 24) and examines numerous social phenomena that are particularly emblematic of that period\, such as the formation and use of diaspora identities and ethnic code-switching\, political identity formation\, factional conflict\, regional identity politicization\, personal piety\, and archaism. Through his interest in Ancient Libyan cultural and linguistic identities\, Jason began studying the modern Amazigh (or Berber) languages\, the indigenous languages of North Africa\, west of the Nile. He founded and coordinated an online language education program through the Center for Language and Culture in Marrakesh\, Morocco\, which operated for several semesters from 2020 through 2022 dedicated to the teaching of Tashelhiyt\, an Amazigh language spoken in Southern Morocco. In addition to his philological work on Egyptian and Amazigh material\, Jason also is a trained archaeologist and has worked on several projects across the Mediterranean\, including in Egypt\, Greece\, and Italy; he is currently starting a project that aims to address a large and mostly unpublished corpus of Third Intermediate Period and Saite Period Egyptian objects excavated from Iron Age indigenous contexts in Southern Italy. \n————————— \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:All in the Name of Science: Academic Facilitation of the Trade in Asian Cultural Objects
DESCRIPTION:This talk by Dr. Emiline Smith (University of Glasgow) will examine the passive and active facilitative role that academics have played in the creation of taste and market demand for Asian cultural objects in the USA in the name of ‘science’ and ‘education’. Building on several case studies from across the USA\, we will examine how academic expertise facilitates illicit trade in cultural objects. We will further examine how their exploitative knowledge creation processes continue to impact the way Asian cultural objects are displayed\, published\, owned\, traded\, and accessed today. Special attention is paid to the material and non-material lives of cultural objects\, for example\, the exploitation of their digitization in the name of ‘education’. Overall\, this talk hopes the stimulate an open\, reflexive\, and critical conversation around how academics should address the exploitative and colonial foundations of the knowledge creation processes surrounding the objects they work with.

SUMMARY:Dressing for Death: How to make and wear ancient Egyptian flint bangles
DESCRIPTION:In-Person Lecture\nSaturday\, November 11 at 3:30pm\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Elizabeth Hart\, Lithic Specialist\, University of Vienna Middle Egypt Project; Kom el-Hisn Provincialism Project \nLecture Topic: Dressing for Death: How to make and wear ancient Egyptian flint bangles \nAbstract:\nAncient Egyptian flint bangles are practically unique in the world\, and they are significant for being an undeniable example of flaked-stone items made for symbolic uses. This paper explores how these bangles were made\, and their use as jewelry. Drawing on observations of ten examples from the Metropolitan Museum\, new data from the flint-mining site of Wadi el-Sheikh\, and an inventory of published examples\, this talk will consider their chronology\, how they were made\, and possible meanings of the bangles. Outlining the steps of bangle production highlights the skill of ancient Egyptian craftsmen. Furthermore\, an analysis of the find contexts and properties of the bangles forms the basis on an argument that the bangles were made specifically for the afterlife. Context data also provides insight into how they were worn\, and who wore them in terms of sex\, age\, and status. Finally\, this study suggests possible meanings of these delicate items that are a testament to the creativity and skill of Early Dynastic flaked-stone craftsmen. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Elizabeth Hart’s research focuses on understanding ancient economies. Looking beyond the grand temples and tombs of Ancient Egypt\, she became especially interested in settlement sites\, and what they can tell us about how ordinary ancient Egyptians lived their lives. She studies stone tools because they are particularly good at answering these questions about daily life along with broad questions about ancient economic change. Dr. Hart earned her PhD in Anthropological archaeology from the University of Virginia in 2017. She is the lithic specialist for a number of ongoing field projects in Egypt and has worked as an archaeologist in Egypt yearly since 2004\, at sites including Giza\, Abydos\, and the Valley of the Kings.

SUMMARY:The Bioarchaeology of the Distinctive Burials of the Phaleron Cemetery\, Archaic Greece
DESCRIPTION:Aviva Cormier\, “The Bioarchaeology of the Distinctive Burials of the Phaleron Cemetery\, Archaic Greece” \nTHIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. If you’re interested in archaeology\, please join us! \nAbout the lecture:\nThe world’s attention has been captured by the 7th century BCE finds that emerged from the coastal sands of Faliro\, the ancient Port of Athens. Most often discussed are the seventy-nine young men who had been violently executed and interred in three trenches. They lived and died during the political upheavals that culminated in the foundational democracy of Classical Athens. These\, however\, are but a fraction (<10%) of those excavated between 2012 and 2017 at the site of Phaleron. Most of the 1000+ individuals buried nearby fall within an expected range of burial forms\, including pits\, cists\, and jars. In this talk\, I focus on those that fall outside of that range\, individuals with mortuary contexts that suggest distinctive experiences in life and death. These distinctive burials include those who were interred collectively in mass graves or buried prone or tightly flexed in single graves\, with some bound at the wrists and/or ankles. I present osteobiographies of these individuals- contextualized life histories from their skeletal remains- and emphasize how their potentially violent life and death experiences may have impacted their identity construction\, physical wellbeing\, and resulting mortuary treatment. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Aviva Cormier\, Visiting Assistant Professor in the Anthropology Department at Davidson College\, is a bioarchaeologist who studies human culture\, behavior\, and society through human skeletal remains and their archaeological or historical contexts. She focuses on potentially marginalized individuals\, those whose bodies or mortuary contexts fall outside of what is expected. She studies individuals with physical differences—those whose bodies do not conform to notions of a normal body or to the normal of the society being studied. She pays particular attention to the lived experiences of these individuals\, how they might have navigated their physical and social environments\, and how they might have self-identified or been identified by their community. Currently\, she is a bioarchaeologist with the Phaleron Bioarchaeology Project.\nOur lectures are sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America\, with funding from the Davidson College Public Lectures Committee\, the Dean Rusk Program\, and the departments of Africana Studies\, Anthropology\, Art\, Classics\, Educational Studies\, History\, and Latin American Studies. \nPlease support us by joining the Archaeological Institute of America for $50 (students $25)\, which includes a subscription to Archaeology magazine.
