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

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.

SUMMARY:The Galisteo Basin as a Multicultural Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Lecture. Eric Blinman (former director Museum of New Mexico\, Office of Archaeological Studies). Puebloan peoples are stereotyped under a single label\, which is a profound injustice to their rich cultural diversity. This diversity also implies the existence of distinct histories\, and the unique setting of the Galisteo Basin provides an opportunity to explore these histories. The uniqueness of the Galisteo Basin is largely due to its susceptibility to climate change and the interaction of the environment with human economies. Tiwa\, Tewa\, Tano\, Towa\, and Keres cultural groups were well established in north central New Mexico at the beginning of the twelfth century\, enjoying a stable climate pattern that supported a cultural florescence in the Four Corners region. Drought and a change in the monsoon rainfall pattern in the mid-to-late 12th century disrupted the stable cultural geography\, and the Galisteo Basin was opened to agricultural homesteading. By the mid-twelfth century\, more than five generations before the Mesa Verde abandonment\, immigrants began colonizing the Basin. More than 200 years of conflicts-of-interest and conflict ensued\, resulting in the 15th century formation of the Galisteo Basin Pueblos\, and giving form to the cultural diversity encountered during European colonization.

SUMMARY:The reception of ancient Egypt in the medieval Muslim world
DESCRIPTION:The Ann Santen Endowed Lecture \nOkasha El Daly\, “The reception of ancient Egypt in the medieval Muslim world”\nTuesday\, September 17\n7:30 – 9:00 PM\nDavidson College\nVisual Arts Center VAC-117 Semans Lecture Hall \nThese lectures are sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America\, with funding from the Davidson College Public Lectures Committee and the departments of Art\, Classics\, Educational Studies\, and History. \nAbout the lecture: \nContrary to the prevailing view that the conversion of Egyptians first to Christianity and then Islam ended interest in their own heritage\, they continued to study their own past with great pride. Many medieval Arab scholars visited Egypt to study its heritage and ancient scripts. This interest in ancient Egyptian scripts led to many scholarly attempts to decipher them. Here is a brief study of the motivations behind their interest and the degrees of their success in the decipherment and understanding of ancient Egypt. Nearly all the writers interested in Egyptian hieroglyphs were alchemists; many were also called Sufis or Mystics (for example\, Jabir\, Dhu Al-Nun\, and Ibn Waḥshiyah). The fame of Egypt as the land of science\, wisdom\, and mysticism created a welcoming environment for the reception of ancient Egyptian thought and arts among medieval Muslim scholars and the general public. This medieval Muslim reception fills a gap of about a thousand years in the history of Egyptology. \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Okasha El Daly specializes in the history\, art\, religion\, and languages of Egypt from the birth of its civilization to its contemporary history and current affairs. He has served as Inspector of Antiquities in the Giza Pyramids Area\, worked as a guide and lecturer in Egypt\, and lectured on the AIA’s national lecture circuit. He has directed several international projects\, including the Foundation for Science\, Technology\, and Civilisation in the UK and the recent Qatar-Sudan Archaeological Project. His book\, Egyptology: The Missing Millennium (2005)\, shows that medieval scholars in Egypt and beyond were as keen as we are to explore ancient Egyptian sciences and arts. \nThese lectures are sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America\, with funding from the Davidson College Public Lectures Committee and the departments of Art\, Classics\, Educational Studies\, and History. \nIndividuals can support us by joining the Archaeological Institute of America for $55 (students $30)\, which includes a subscription to Archaeology magazine.

SUMMARY:1177 BC and After: The Collapse and Survival of Civilizations
DESCRIPTION:In-person lecture\nSaturday\, September 21 at 3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Rainey Auditorium \nIn collaboration with the Dept. of Art and Archaeology of the Mediterranean World\, UPenn\nA short reception will follow the lecture \nSpeaker: Dr. Eric Cline \nLecture Topic: 1177 BC and After: The Collapse and Survival of Civilizations \nAbstract:\nFor more than three hundred years during the Late Bronze Age\, from about 1500 BC to 1200 BC\, the Mediterranean region played host to a complex international world in which Egyptians\, Mycenaeans\, Minoans\, Hittites\, Assyrians\, Babylonians\, Cypriots\, and Canaanites all interacted\, creating a cosmopolitan and globalized world-system such as has only rarely been seen before the current day. It may have been this very internationalism that contributed to the apocalyptic disaster that ended the Bronze Age. When the end came\, as it did after centuries of cultural and technological evolution\, the civilized and international world of the Mediterranean regions came to a dramatic halt in a vast area stretching from Greece and Italy in the west to Egypt\, Canaan\, and Mesopotamia in the east. Large empires and small kingdoms\, that had taken centuries to evolve\, collapsed rapidly. \nWhile the centuries following the Late Bronze Age Collapse in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean were a time of catastrophe\, they were also a time of rebirth and resilience — it was less of a Dark Age and more of a reboot for many of the societies which were affected. While there are examples of failure to thrive or even to survive in some cases\, others managed to adapt and transform. In effect\, we have eight case studies of what to do (and what not to do) in the event of a systems collapse\, ranging from the Assyrians to the Egyptians to the Mycenaeans and others in between. We will focus on the people and places that emerged from the ashes\, highlighting some of the events and developments that took place in Greece\, Egypt\, Mesopotamia\, Anatolia\, and the Levant. We will also consider whether there are any relevant lessons to be learned from this dramatic story of resurgence and revival\, especially considering what is going on in our world today. \nSpeaker Bio:\nEric H. Cline is Professor of Classics\, History\, and Anthropology\, the former Chair of the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations\, and the current Director of the Capitol Archaeological Institute at George Washington University\, in Washington DC. A National Geographic Explorer\, NEH Public Scholar\, Getty Scholar\, and Fulbright Scholar with degrees from Dartmouth\, Yale\, and the University of Pennsylvania\, he is an active field archaeologist with more than 30 seasons of excavation and survey experience in Israel\, Egypt\, Jordan\, Cyprus\, Greece\, Crete\, and the United States\, including ten seasons at Megiddo (1994-2014)\, where he served as co-director before retiring from the project in 2014\, and another ten seasons at Tel Kabri\, where he currently serves as Co-Director. He is the author or editor of 20 books and nearly 100 articles; translations of his books have appeared in nineteen different languages. Among them are Three Stones Make a Wall: The Story of Archaeology; Digging Deeper: How Archaeology Works; 1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed and (with Glynnis Fawkes) 1177 BC: A Graphic History of the Year Civilization Collapsed; and After 1177 BC: The Survival of Civilizations (all Princeton). He is a member of the Washington DC chapter of ARCE. \n***************************\nRegistration is NOT required. Lectures 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.

SUMMARY:Virtual Symposium: A Bloom of Perpetual Newness: The Colors of Ancient Greek and Roman Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual symposium on October 1 at 6 PM Central (RSVP required). Giovanni Verri\, Conservation Scientist at the Art Institute of Chicago\, will present his recent investigations and newest research into color on ancient statues. (This symposium will not be recorded) \nREGISTER HERE: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VPhQwc0oTyGdFIy6zd6SIw#/registration \nABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM:\nIt is well-established that ancient sculpture was painted\, and that adding color was a finishing touch of artistic creation\, with an immediate impact on ancient viewers. However\, many questions remain about the extent of applied color. We do not fully understand the original appearance of most ancient sculptures. Dr. Verri will share insights into how ancient painters created their masterpieces\, revealed by his research using visible-induced luminescence imaging. Dr. Verri’s research makes visible pigments that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye\, yielding important new discoveries. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER:\nGiovanni Verri is a conservation scientist at the Art Institute of Chicago\, and a leading researcher investigating the pigments applied to ancient sculptures. He holds a Ph.D in physics from the University of Ferrara\, Italy\, and an MA in conservation from the Courtauld Institute on Art in London. In 2007\, he developed an imaging technique called visible-induced luminescence imaging. Using this new technique\, he has mapped the presence of Egyptian blue\, a very common blue pigment in antiquity.

SUMMARY:Ballintubber Bonds: Field Schools and Community Archaeology and Education In Ireland
DESCRIPTION:This presentation discusses the community archaeology aspect of the Castles in Communities Archaeological Field School and Research Project (CIC)\, in Ballintubber\, County Roscommon\, Ireland. While the primary site of the excavation is Ballintubber Castle\, a 13th century castle\, the excavation also conducts archaeological surveys and history projects at the request of the Ballintubber community. In previous years\, CIC surveyed and mapped the cemetery\, creating a digital map in ArcGIS as well as a database of all burials within the graveyard. In the summer of 2024\, CIC undertook the next step in our survey of the 17th century and modern cemeteries in Ballintubber\, the planning and creation of two interpretive signs\, both of which include a map. \nThis is part of a larger initiative of CIC to further engage with the Ballintubber community by fostering positive\, scholarship based interactions between archaeology professionals/students and the Ballintober community. This presentation will highlight the Ballintubber Graveyard Project\, field school education\, and community engagement that CIC undertook during the 2024 field season\, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the project\, and how we plan to continue in the 2025 field season.

SUMMARY:The Archaeology of Tenochtitlan: An Overview
DESCRIPTION:Leonardo López Luján\, Director\, Proyecto Templo Mayor; Senior Research Professor\, National Institute of Anthropology and History\, Mexico City \nThe Proyecto Templo Mayor of the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) was created in 1978 after the discovery of a huge monolith depicting Coyolxauhqui\, the Aztec moon goddess. Since then\, other impressive public monuments and religious buildings have been discovered in downtown Mexico City in the area occupied by the sacred precinct of Tenochtitlan. Archaeologists recently uncovered the largest Aztec sculpture ever found—of the earth goddess Tlaltecuhtli. After providing an overview of the history of archaeology in Mexico City\, Leonardo López Luján will undertake a formal\, iconographic\, and symbolic analysis of the Tlaltecuhtli stone to unveil its functions and meanings. He will also describe the exceptionally rich offerings buried under this sculpture as well as the possible presence of a royal tomb at the foot of the Templo Mayor. \nFree admission. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Cosponsored by the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies\, the Moses Mesoamerican Archive\, Harvard Divinity School\, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology\, and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.

SUMMARY:Archeology in Pajamas: Virtual Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:The Arkansas Archeological Survey and Arkansas Archeological Society are co-hosting a new Virtual Lecture Series\, called “Archeology in Pajamas\,” from Fall 2024 through Spring 2025. Have you been interested in attending a talk but weren’t wanting to travel far distances\, battle inclement weather\, or leave the house because you aren’t feeling up to coming to an in-person talk? Then\, this virtual Zoom lecture series is for you! We have a wide range of topics presented by speakers from varied parts of the country\, so there is sure to be something for everyone. To attend\, please register using the QR code on the attached flyer\, or by clicking the Zoom registration link. These lectures are free and open to the public; anyone is welcome to (virtually) attend. You will need to individually register for each talk\, and more information about each will be released as the dates approach in new announcements. \nOur first webinar\, on Thursday\, October 10th\, will feature Dr. “Liz” Ibarrola\, who will be presenting “Rising Tides: Climate Change and the Untold Stories of Fort Mose.” Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose was a small\, fortified settlement founded in 1738 by the Spanish governor of East Florida and populated by emancipated Africans\, many of whom had escaped slavery in the adjacent British colonies. The fort\, and its surrounding town and agricultural fields\, was a manifestation of the freedom offered to enslaved people in Florida under the Spanish. Today invisible to the untrained eye and tucked away in a small state park\, Fort Mose reflects the little known but central role played by freedom-seeking Africans in the early history of Florida. Furthermore\, the threats to heritage preservation currently faced at the site highlight the ways in which social marginalization of Afro-diasporans has continuously impacted the site. Fort Mose was vulnerable by design\, and while today recognized for its symbolic role in the colonial era\, it is threatened not only by rising sea levels and increased storm activity\, but also Florida’s history of anti-blackness. \nRegister with this Link: https://uark.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_kBxXcuFeSqGzJ-2hRQPCyg

SUMMARY:The Treaty of Ramesses II with Hattusili III: Peace-making in the Late Bronze Age Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:In-person lecture\nSaturday\, October 12\, 3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom 2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Camilla Di-Biase-Dyson \nTitle: The Treaty of Ramesses II with Hattusili III: Peace-making in the Late Bronze Age Mediterranean \nAbstract:\nThis paper gives background to the first attested peace treaty in world history\, between Ramses II of Egypt and Hattusili III of Hatti (now Türkiye). This treaty survives in several copies\, in two languages (Ancient Egyptian and Akkadian) and in two countries (Egypt and Turkey). This paper will explain some of the provisions of the treaty and also examine some of the treaty’s more unusual aspects\, for instance\, that its formation was not a direct consequence of conflict\, and that not all of its articles are bilateral. It will also make some suggestions about under what conditions and in what location the treaty might have been forged. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Camilla Di Biase-Dyson is a Sydneysider with a passion for Ancient Egypt since childhood. After graduating with BA(Hons) and PhD degrees in Ancient History from Macquarie University (2000–2008) she moved to Berlin to conduct postdoctoral research in Egyptology and linguistics\, first as a Fellow of the Excellence Cluster ‘Topoi: The Formation and Transformation of Space and Knowledge in Ancient Civilizations’ (2009–2010) and then with the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (2010–2012). Following this\, she was Junior Professor for Egyptology at the Georg-August University in Göttingen\, Germany (2012–2019)\, then a Research Fellow at the University of Vienna (2019–2020). In April 2020 she moved back to Sydney to take up a Lectureship in Egyptology at Macquarie University. \nDr. Di-Biase Dyson is passionate about exploring how ancient texts and languages help us access ancient ways of thinking. Her current research focuses on metaphor in Ancient Egyptian language\, as well as ancient medicine and manuscript studies and takes in object studies and body ontologies. Her approaches range from linguistics and cognitive science to literary analysis and anthropology and she is committed to utilising and expanding the tools of digital corpus analysis for ancient languages. Her case studies mainly focus on texts and materials from the Ramesside Period of Egyptian history\, in the Late Bronze Age. \n***************************\nRegistration is NOT required. Lectures 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.
