SUMMARY:Crouching Tigers\, Hidden Elephants
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nWhile a global phenomenon\, rock art has been a relatively recent subject of study in Southeast Asia with the number of known sites growing from a handful in the 1960s to over a thousand today. Research accelerated in the last 20 years with better recording and analytical techniques as evidenced by the increased number of papers on Southeast Asian rock art in international conferences and journals since the 2000s. The majority of sites are located from Indonesia and Thailand\, where sustained episodes of research have been conducted. New dates from Indonesia challenge long-standing ideas about the ‘origin’ of art while other discoveries shed light on the movements and activities of peoples across this diverse landscape. This lecture presents a survey of rock art across Southeast Asia from the deep past to more modern times and shows how rock art can help us better understand the archaeology of Southeast Asia. \nShort bibliography and/or website on lecture topic: \nRock Art of Southeast Asia \n \n(includes a bibliography and overview) \nBio: \nNoel Hidalgo Tan is the Senior Specialist in Archaeology at the SEAMEO Regional Centre for Archaeology and Fine Arts in Bangkok\, where he works to promote the archaeology of Southeast Asia by building capacity among regional archaeologists\, finding ways to engage the public about archaeological and cultural heritage\, and conducting archaeological research. His main research interest is in the rock art of Southeast Asia\, where he spent his postgraduate work documenting sites in Malaysia\, Thailand\, Cambodia\, Laos and Myanmar. His recent projects include rock art documentation in western Laos and southern Thailand; the protection of regional underwater cultural heritage; archaeology\, tourism and the protection of Southeast Asian cultural heritage sites; and developing future capacity in regional archaeology education in Southeast Asia. He is the managing editor of the SPAFA Journal (www.spafajournal.org) and runs an online resource website on Southeast Asian Archaeology (www.SoutheastAsianArchaeology.com)

SUMMARY:DOUBLE-HEADER:  The Serapeum at Saqqara & Moo-ving Along: Cattle Mummies in Ancient Egypt
DESCRIPTION:In-Person Lecture\nSaturday\, April 13 at 1:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeakers: Dr. Aidan Dodson & Dr. Salima Ikram \nLecture Topics & Abstracts:\nThe Serapeum at Saqqara\nThis afternoon we will explore the history of the catacombs of the sacred Apis bull at Saqqara. We will trace its story from the first known burial under Amenhotep III to the end of the employment of the complex following the demise of Cleopatra VII. \nMoo-ving Along: Cattle Mummies in Ancient Egypt\nCattle have been central to many cultures over the millennia\, and this is also true for that of ancient Egypt. On a practical level they provide food\, clothing\, shelter\, tools\, jewellery\, and are a measure of wealth; on a sacred level \,they are the focus of cultic activity\, with many deities\, both female and male\, manifesting as cows and bulls.  This lecture will briefly discuss the main cattle cults of ancient Egypt and then present the different types of cattle mummies that are known. Their purpose\, mummification process\, and histories will be featured. \nSpeaker Bios:\nDr. Aidan Dodson is honorary full Professor of Egyptology at the University of Bristol\, UK\, where he has taught for over 25 years. He studied at Durham\, Liverpool and Cambridge Universities\, and was Simpson Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo for the spring of 2013\, and Chairman of the Egypt Exploration Society from 2011 to 2016. He is the author of some thirty books\, most recently The Nubian Pharaohs of Egypt (American University in Cairo Press\, 2023). \nDr. Salima Ikram is Distinguished University Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo and Professor Extraordinary at Stellenbosch University. She studied at Bryn Mawr College (AB) and Cambridge University (MPhil and PhD). She has worked throughout Egypt\, and has directed the North Kharga Darb Ain Amur Survey\, the Amenmesses Project KV10-KV63\, and the Egyptian Museum Animal Mummy Project and has published extensively for both scholars and the general public. \n******************\nLectures are FREE to ARCE Members\, $10 for University of Pennsylvania Museum Members and UPenn Staff and Faculty\, $7 for Students with ID\, and $15 for the general public. Light refreshments served starting at 1:00pm. \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.  For more information or to learn about the perks of membership\, please send an e-mail to info@arce-pa.org\, or visit our website at www.arce-pa.org.

SUMMARY:San Francisco Lecture by Tom Hardwick: Uses\, Re-uses\, and Abuses of Egyptian Statues
DESCRIPTION:April 13\, 2024 at 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM \nUses\, Re-uses\, and Abuses of Egyptian Statues\nGunn Theater | Legion of Honor + Live Stream\nPresented by Tom Hardwick Consulting Curator of Egyptology\, Houston Museum of Natural Science \nAdmission:\nLecture is free and open to the public. It is also a hybrid program. \nIN PERSON: Gunn Theater\, 100 – 34th Avenue\, Lincoln Park\, San Francisco\, CA 94121. Seating is limited and unassigned. Doors open at 1:30 pm.\nLIVE STREAM: Please register here to receive a webinar link: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_lJ1-plmLQVi5pqRy16oceA . \nEgyptian statues epitomize solidity and permanence for the modern viewers who admire them securely guarded in museums or tourist sites. To their pharaonic makers and owners\, however\, they were functional objects with specific duties to fulfil. Rather than being blindly revered as artworks\, they were often re-used for new purposes when their old functions lapsed. These re-uses could include physical transformation. This lecture covers over three thousand years to show how subsequent generations have used and abused Egyptian artworks. \nCosponsored by the Ancient Art Council of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco\nand the American Research Center in Egypt-Northern California.

SUMMARY:AIA Archaeology Hour with Deborah Carlson
DESCRIPTION:Join the AIA for a fascinating evening as Deborah Carlson (Texas A&M) presents Excavating a Shipwrecked Marble Column Destined for the Temple of Apollo at Claros. \nThis presentation will be given at 8pm Eastern/7pm Central/6pm Mountain/5pm Pacific. \nBetween 2005 and 2011\, researchers from the Institute of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University excavated and raised the remains of an ancient ship that was wrecked off the Aegean coast of Turkey at Kızılburun in the first century B.C.  This ship was transporting about 60 tons of white marble blocks and architectural elements that originated in the quarries on Proconnesus Island in the Sea of Marmara. Ceramic artifacts and coins help narrow the date of the shipwreck\, but the pieces of a single monumental Doric column suggest that the ship was destined for one of the most important oracular sanctuaries in the ancient Mediterranean. Join underwater archaeologist Deborah Carlson as she lays out the evidence to solve this maritime mystery!

SUMMARY:A Lecture about the Neolithic site of the Ness of Brodgar in Orkney (Scotland) by Scott Pike PhD\, Environmental Science and Archaeology\, Willamette University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract coming soon. \nAbout Dr. Scott Pike:\nAs both a trained geologist and archaeologist\, my research uses geological theories and methodologies to tackle archaeological and art historical problems. Currently\, I am pursuing two major research trajectories. The first is the development and application of portable instrumentation to study the synergistic relationships between societies and their changing landscapes. These projects use geologic principals and methods to understand how the landscape influences the development of human cultures and\, in turn\, how dynamic landscapes influence social and cultural stability and change. Research along this trajectory includes a systematic geochemical study of floor samples collected from multiple monumental structures at the Neolithic site of the Ness of Brodgar in Orkney\, Scotland. My second line of research focuses on the procurement\, use\, trade and aesthetics of white marble used in the ancient Mediterranean basin. Current marble research in this area includes analysis of marble samples from the Parthenon and Propylaea on the Athenian acropolis as well as the development of using aerial photography and other emerging technologies to record and study ancient marble quarries.  \nThe lecture will broadcast in realtime via Zoom.\nJoin Meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84120684037?pwd=clk3Tjh1RlRlbmd6OTdJNzFsUDhRQT09\nMeeting ID: 841 2068 4037\nPasscode: 004215

SUMMARY:How Egyptologist George Reisner Went Walking Among Pharaohs
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 Dr. Peter Der Manuelian\, Harvard: \nHow Egyptologist George Reisner Went Walking Among Pharaohs \nMay 5\, 2024 (2 pm Pacific Time\, live at the Legion of Honor\, San Francisco) \nCosponsored by the Ancient Art Council of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco \nLecture is free and open to the public. It is also a hybrid program. \nIN PERSON: Gunn Theater\, 100 – 34th Avenue\, Lincoln Park\, San Francisco\, CA 94121. Seating is limited and unassigned. Doors open at 1:30 pm. \nLIVE STREAM: Please register here to receive a webinar link: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_2WLpssqfRcGtmfdl02bLEQ \nAbout the Lecture: \nBased on his new biography of George Reisner (1867–1942)\, Walking Among Pharaohs\, the speaker’s lecture examines the life and work of America’s greatest Egyptian archaeologist\, and Reisner’s legacy of 43 years of successful excavations at 23 archaeological sites in Egypt and the Sudan (ancient Nubia). Leading the Harvard University-Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition\, Reisner put American Egyptology on the world stage\, despite British control of Egyptian politics\, French control of Egyptian antiquities\, and an Egypt yearning for independence. The lecture considers Reisner’s life and impact within the context of Western colonialism\, racism\, and the soft power of early twentieth-century archaeology. It also explores new visualization technologies\, particularly at the Giza Pyramids\, that Reisner’s work makes possible today. \nAbout the Speaker: \nPeter Der Manuelian is the Barbara Bell Professor of Egyptology and holds a joint appointment in the Anthropology Department and the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at Harvard. He is also director of the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East (HMANE). He came to Harvard in 2010\, after serving on the curatorial staff of the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston (MFA)\, since 1987\, and teaching for a decade at Tufts University. At the MFA he was Giza Archives Project Director from 2000 to 2011\, and now directs the Giza Project at Harvard. In addition to Giza\, his Egyptian archaeological and epigraphic site work includes New Kingdom temples at Luxor (Epigraphic Survey\, University of Chicago)\, and the Predynastic site of Naqada. \nHis primary research interests include ancient Egyptian history and historiography\, archaeology\, epigraphy\, the development of mortuary architecture\, and the (icono)graphic nature of Egyptian language and culture. He has published on diverse topics and periods in Egyptian history\, but currently focuses on the third millennium BCE\, and specifically on the famous Giza Necropolis\, just west of modern Cairo. \nInterested in both ancient and modern graphic design—publishing in the broadest sense of the word—he believes in bringing new technologies into his research and into the classroom. Recent efforts have focused on photogrammetry\, AR and VR visualizations\, and other immersive technologies as an aid to archaeological research. He is directing the Arabic Diaries Project\, focusing on 73 Arabic Expedition diary books from the Harvard University–Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition (1905–1947) that give voice to the historically voiceless Egyptians working on the dig. \n(Text from Harvard University website: https://anthropology.fas.harvard.edu/people/peter-der-manuelian) \nAbout ARCE-NC: \nFor more information\, please visit https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/\, http://www.arce-nc.org\, https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings\, and https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:AIA Student Affairs Interest Group Dissertation Lecture: "In Search of Border Sanctuaries: Religion\, Landscape\, and Territory in the Peloponnese"
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the AIA Student Affairs Interest Group (SAIG)Dissertation Lecture speaker is Shannon M. Dunn (Bryn Mawr College)\, who will be presenting her lecture: “In Search of Border Sanctuaries: Religion\, Landscape\, and Territory in the Peloponnese”. \nJoin us for her virtual lecture on Zoom on Tuesday\, May 7th at 2pm Eastern. Register for the lecture here.  \nAncient Greek border sanctuaries have been commonly understood within scholarship as sacred places that reflected or reinforced the territorial boundaries of different political entities. Though implied to be a distinct group of sacred places\, there is no agreement about how these sanctuaries functioned as/at borders. Despite the lasting impact of scholarly models of the distribution and function of sanctuaries in the Greek landscape\, the type of site often referred to as a “border sanctuary” has not been subject to a large-scale study which comprehensively addresses this category\, and which uses sufficient data to critically discuss the usefulness and verity of such terminology. As those models rely on sanctuary landscapes\, both in terms of terrain and of spatial relationships\, this study maintains the same focus. In the Peloponnese alone\, there were different strategies for border delineation and land claims\, and different deities preferred by poleis to guard these marginal or contested areas. Major landscape features tended to be used to determine borders\, often associated with sacred sites\, such as mountain-top temples at the edges of a territory\, or shrines in a pass between two regions. The usage of and access to the sanctuaries are dependent on their relationships to regional routes as well as the local political histories\, and can be traced through both votive material and written records\, including disputes and arbitrations. Some sites reflect changing control of their associated border\, while others suggest functions as places of connection and communication between territories. While the framework of “border sanctuary” does not result in a strict typology of site\, it does provide a productive lens through which to approach an array of sacred places and to bring them into dialogue with their regional religious landscapes\, moving beyond models which revolve around the polis. This project has implications for our understanding of Greek polytheism in general and for the interconnected religious landscapes of the Archaic and Classical Peloponnese.

SUMMARY:In search of a lost hydraulic treasure in Iraqi Kurdistan: how to virtually study abandoned subterranean qanat systems
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Dr. Mehrnoush Soroush (Ancient Near Eastern Studies\, University of Chicago) \nThroughout the Middle Ages\, thousands of miles of underground water management infrastructure\, known as qanats\, were built to sustain thriving societies despite the arid environments of the Middle East and Central Asia. There is enormous interest in the history and functioning of qanat systems in archaeology and cultural heritage management. Unfortunately\, the majority of ancient qanats have dried out and their visible parts have been eradicated\, leaving us with many unanswered questions\, including their construction history\, engineering techniques\, technology transmission\, and the impact of migrations and changing climate on their diffusion and demise. The premise of my research is that the loss of visible remains should not end our learning about these archaeological and heritage assets. While we can use Satellite imagery to map the path and surface remains of the qanats\, our understanding of main parts of the system that are subterranean is limited as none of the current archaeological techniques can map features buried that deep under the ground. Through a grant from the Institute for the Formation of Knowledge\, I have explored whether a relatively low-cost geophysics technology named tomography can be used to model the buried shafts and channels. \nMehrnoush Soroush is a landscape archaeologist who examines the intersection between urban and water history in the Ancient Near East. She received her Ph.D. from the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW) of New ­­­York University and her MA in Architecture from the University of Tehran\, Iran. Mehrnoush’s research focuses on the resilience of ancient cities in adapting to environmental changes and socio-political developments by adopting new hydraulic strategies and technologies. She employs interdisciplinary approaches drawing on a broad set of data\, including archaeological fieldwork\, textual and archival research\, Geographic Information Systems (GIS)\, remote sensing\, and related computational methods. \n* *The event is free and open to those who are 21 and over** Please register at eventbrite

SUMMARY:From the Green Sahara to Kushite Pharaohs: Common origins\, differentiation\, and the long term entanglements of Nubians and Egyptians
DESCRIPTION:In-person Lecture\nSaturday\, May 11 at 3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Stuart Tyson Smith \nLecture Topic: From the Green Sahara to Kushite Pharaohs: Common origins\, differentiation\, and the long term entanglements of Nubians and Egyptians \nAbstract:\nEgyptologists have for a long time seen Egypt as isolated along the Nile and a “civilizing” force that drove developments in Nubia. The archaeological evidence for the “green Sahara” (c. 12\,000-3500 BCE) has led to an increasing realization that ancient Nubia and Egypt have common origins in a pastoral complex that thrived in what is today barren desert across a wide swath of northeast Africa. People and cultures entangled\, creating related but still distinctive groups who shared sets of symbolic resources and cultural practices across the region in the grasslands that are now desert and along the Nile. Two great African traditions\, Nubian and Egyptian\, began to differentiate with the formation of the Pharaonic and early Kushite states as the rains marched southwards into the Sahel\, but Nubians and Egyptians remained in constant contact\, sometimes as rivals\, sometimes as partners or allies. These entanglements and mutual influence deepened during the New Kingdom Egyptian empire and in its aftermath with the rise of the Kushite Dynasty. This presentation will discuss this changing picture of Nubian and Egyptian origins and long history of intercultural exchange using evidence from archaeological work at Tombos and other sites at the Third and Fourth Cataracts. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Stuart Tyson Smith is Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Institute for Social\, Behavioral\, and Economic Research at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. He has published on the dynamics of Egyptian imperialism and royal ideology\, the use of sealings in administration\, death and burial\, and the ethnic\, social and economic dynamics of interaction between ancient Egypt and Nubia. He recently co-edited Origins and Afterlives of Kush\, a special issue of the Journal of Ancient Egyptian Interconnections (2022). He co-directs the UCSB-Purdue-Africa International University Tombos expedition to the third cataract of the Nile. In a new line of research\, Smith applies a postcolonial critique to modern views of ancient Egypt as not truly African and Nubia as its subordinate. He served as Egyptological Consultant for the hit MGM movie ‘Stargate\,’ recreating spoken ancient Egyptian for the film\, and returned to Hollywood consulting for the Universal remake of ‘The Mummy\,’ its sequel\, ‘The Mummy Returns\,’ and most recently for MGM’s 2018’s ‘Stargate Origins: Catherine.’ \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.

SUMMARY:In the Footsteps of Belzoni and Carter in the Valley of the Kings
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 Zoom lecture by Dr. Donald P. Ryan\, Pacific Lutheran University: \nIn the Footsteps of Belzoni and Carter in the Valley of the Kings \nSunday\, August 18\, 2024\, 3 PM PDT \nZoom Lecture. This meeting will not be recorded. A registration link has already been sent to ARCE-NC members. Non-members may request a registration link by sending email with your name and email address to arcencZoom@gmail.com. Non-members\, please send any registration requests no later than Friday\, August 16. Registrations are limited to 100\, so the sooner you register\, the better. \nAbout the Lecture: \nThe archaeological exploration of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings\, the royal New Kingdom cemetery\, offers a rich history of fascinating discoveries made by determined and often eccentric individuals.  The Italian carnival performer-turned-antiquarian\, Giovanni Belzoni\, was responsible for the finding of the tomb of Seti I\, among others\, in the early 19th century\, and Howard Carter was well involved in the Valley two decades before he encountered Tutankhamun.  \nIn this lecture\, Dr. Donald P. Ryan will describe some of his own work in the Valley of the Kings\, during which he literally followed in the footsteps of both explorers\, including the re-excavation of KV 21 (a Belzoni discovery) and three tombs discovered by Carter early in his career: KV 44\, KV 45 and KV 60.  The latter tomb is especially controversial with its occupant identified by some as the female ruler\, Hatshepsut\, after its rediscovery by Ryan. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Donald P. Ryan is an archaeologist affiliated with the College of Liberal Studies at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma\, Wash.\, a Fellow of both the Explorers Club and the Royal Geographical Society\, and a Research Associate of the Kon-Tiki Museum in Oslo\, Norway.  A veteran of many field expeditions\, Ryan is also the author of numerous scientific and popular articles and several books on archaeological subjects.

SUMMARY:Symposium: Layers of Meanings in Benjamin West’s Neoclassical Venus and Cupid
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA-Nashville Society for an in-person symposium on August 19 at 6 PM at the Nashville Parthenon. This symposium is free and open to the public\, and will take place in the Naos on Level 2. RSVP required. \nVivien Green Fryd\, Professor Emerita in the History of Art and Architecture Department at Vanderbilt University\, Ph.D\, will share about American painter Benjamin West (1738-1820)\, including West’s Venus and Cupid (1765)\, part of the Parthenon permanent collection. \nABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM:\nBenjamin West’s Venus and Cupid (1765) in the Parthenon’s Cowan Collection marks the first commission this Philadelphia Quaker received upon arriving in Italy to study art. This work\, the first history painting West created in the academic tradition\, which rated history painting as the most important subject\, represents the mythological Venus\, the goddess of love\, with her son\, Cupid. It also evokes to topos of the Madonna lactans\, or the nursing Madonna\, which had been a prevalent subject throughout the Italian Renaissance\, which he studied while in Italy. West showed emotion and love between parent and child that had not existed until the 1760s\, and hence this work joins that of others created by Euro-Americans in the U.S. colonies and abroad who similarly represented changing attitudes towards child-rearing\, family relations\, and the definition of childhood. West was at the forefront of establishing neoclassical subjects and styles as the premier manner of painting during the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

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.
