SUMMARY:Researching in the arc-“hives”: Ancient Egyptian honey and beekeeping
DESCRIPTION:In-person lecture\nSaturday\, December 14\, 3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom 2\nA holiday party will follow the lecture \nSpeaker: Dr. Shelby Justl \nTitle: Researching in the arc-“hives”: Ancient Egyptian honey and beekeeping \nAbstract:\nWith no sugarcane until 710 AD\, honey was the major sweetener for ancient Egyptian food and wines\, an important ingredient in medicine\, and a valuable tribute commodity. Illustrations of apiculture are surprisingly rare and a lack of representation may indicate honey was a royal prerogative at least in the Old and Middle Kingdoms. However\, honey production appears to be a more expansive industry from the New Kingdom onwards. \nThis talk assesses the extent of royal and temple control over beekeeping from the New Kingdom to the Ptolemaic Period through beekeeping titles\, New Kingdom letters\, the Wilbour Papyrus\, Abydos Stela of Sheshonq\, and Zenon archives. Location and size of beekeepers’ land-holdings and hives\, productivity levels\, and evidence of honey grading\, transport\, and the taxation of beekeepers may suggest honey production as a larger scale industry than previously thought. A snapshot of the archaeological site of Abydos and excavated honey pots may also indicate the extent of state level production facilities and the industrial scale of honey gathering\, storage\, and use. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Shelby Justl is a lecturer in the Critical Writing Program here at UPenn. Her courses focus on archaeology and the ancient Egyptian world including such topics as Egyptomania\, pseudo-archaeology\, and world mythology. She has a PhD in NELC from UPenn and a MA with distinction in Egyptology from the University of Liverpool. After researching and publishing an ostracon from Penn excavations in Abydos that discussed trade of semiprecious stones\, her PhD dissertation concentrated on the administration and control of the ancient Egyptian semiprecious stone industry; in acquisition\, quarrying\, processing\, and distribution. She is currently editing this to be published as a book. Dr. Justl also is deeply interested in another “luxury” product for the ancient Egyptians\, honey! Still in the research stages\, she intends to publish a book on Egyptian honey\, beekeeping\, and the administration/operation of the industry. \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.

SUMMARY:Rediscovering Egypt's Lost Dinosaurs
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. Matt Lamanna\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History: \nRediscovering Egypt’s Lost Dinosaurs \nSunday December 15\, 2024\, 3 PM Pacific Standard Time\nRm 56 Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley \nThis is an in-person lecture and is not virtual.\nThe lecture will not be recorded. No registration is required \nAbout the Lecture: \nEgypt’s vast archaeological record and engaging material culture have long excited people around the world\, but did you know that this region’s history stretches back well into the Mesozoic Era\, or Age of Dinosaurs? In the early 20th century\, a series of German expeditions recovered fossils of several new and extraordinary ~95-million-year-old dinosaur species from the Bahariya Oasis in Egypt’s Western Desert\, most famously the enormous sail-backed semi-aquatic predator Spinosaurus aegyptiacus. Tragically\, however\, all these fossils were destroyed during a British Royal Air Force bombing of Munich in late April 1944. In 2000\, a collaborative Egyptian-American research team became the first scientists to discover dinosaur fossils in the Bahariya Oasis in nearly a century; among these were a partial skeleton of a new and gigantic sauropod (long-necked plant-eating dinosaur) that was later named Paralititan stromeri. More recently\, researchers from the Mansoura University Vertebrate Paleontology Center in Mansoura\, Egypt have collected additional\, important dinosaur fossils from Bahariya\, and moreover have expanded their paleontological efforts to include geologically younger (~75-million-year-old) sites in the Kharga and Dakhla oases. Foremost among their finds from the latter is another new sauropod\, Mansourasaurus shahinae\, which constitutes one of the best-preserved late Mesozoic-aged land-living backboned animals known from the entire African continent. Collectively\, these discoveries have cast unprecedented light on Egypt’s remarkable dinosaurs\, helping to restore a scientific legacy that was lost during the Second World War. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Matt Lamanna is the Mary R. Dawson Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology and the senior dinosaur researcher at Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania. Originally from the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York\, he received his B.Sc. from Hobart College in 1997 and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1999 and 2004. Within the past 26 years\, he has directed or co-directed field expeditions to Antarctica\, Argentina\, Australia\, China\, Croatia\, Egypt\, Greenland\, and the western United States that have resulted in the discovery of more than 20 new species of dinosaurs and other fossil animals from the Cretaceous Period\, the third and final time period of the Age of Dinosaurs; indeed\, he is one of only a handful of people to have found dinosaur fossils on all seven continents. Lamanna served as chief scientific advisor to Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s $36M “Dinosaurs in Their Time” exhibition and has appeared on television programs for PBS (NOVA)\, the Discovery Channel\, the National Geographic Channel\, the History Channel\, A&E\, the Science Channel\, and many more. \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. A map of the campus is available online at http://www.berkeley.edu/map/ . \nAbout Northern California ARCE: \nFor more information\, please visit https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/\, https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings\, and https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:Beneath an Ancient Neighborhood: Archaeology and History in the Barrio de Analco\, Santa Fe
DESCRIPTION:Lecture. Stephen Post (Museum of New Mexico\, Office of Archaeological Studies). For more than 900 years\, humans have left their mark on the neighborhood on the south side of the Santa Fe River known as Barrio de Analco. Within the Barrio de Analco\, conclusive physical evidence of its past residents often has been difficult to uncover. The vague traces left by Ancestral Puebloan\, Hispano\, Mestizo\, Indio\, Genízaro\, and Anglo peoples offer fleeting glimpses of the past. The physical context of these traces can be compared to mixing a layer cake in a blender and then spreading the result across the land. While well intended\, studies of this jumbled landscape\, most of them mandated by City ordinances\, have been insufficient in scope to yield substantive new information. This talk will highlight a few exceptional studies\, including recent research at the Boyle House located at 327 E. De Vargas St. These studies shed light on the customs\, relationships\, and identities of those who once lived in the ancient location known to modern Pueblo people as O’gha Po’oghe and Santa Fe’s non-Indigenous residents as El Barrio de Analco.

In Herodotus’ Histories the scholar describes the region as an idealized utopia notable for its raw materials and a formidable fighting force. However\, Kush’s role extended beyond being just a geographical region to be pillaged for mercenaries and material wealth. It was a crucial trade partner in a period of internationalism and cultural exchange in Northeast Africa and the greater Mediterranean. A perceived dearth of representational evidence from Nubia abroad during this period reinforces the notion that Kush’s only influence was as a place to be exploited. When artistic evidence is marshaled to consider Kush’s influence\, analysis has tended to rely solely on stereotypical depictions of Nubians identifiable through stylistic ethnic markers such as physiognomic features and bodily adornment. While this approach has been used to identify Nubian presence abroad\, it hasn’t accounted for the significance these depictions hold in their local contexts and for their widespread prevalence. This lecture argues that Kushite representational conventions established in the seventh century circulate beyond the borders of Nubia and become integrated into a larger international koine. This process will be presented through a corpus of objects which span both time and place\, charting the development of Kushite influence through the Nile River Valley north to Egypt\, where it then spreads to the Near East and the Aegean. Iron Age networks of cultural exchange have traditionally only considered the bordering civilizations of the Mediterranean; this talk aims to show the influence of this peripheral sub-Saharan African kingdom. By integrating Africa into these networks of exchange\, this analysis will urge for new ways of looking at objects and materials which have traditionally been overlooked by conventional approaches to Western art history. \nAbout the Speaker: \nPeter Moore Johnson is a PhD Candidate at The Institute of Fine Arts\, New York University. He is currently the Marcia and Jan Vilcek Curatorial Fellow at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His research focuses on Kushite-era material culture and self-presentation in ancient Egypt and Nubia. His dissertation\, Aethiopia Abroad\, is a collections-based project that charts the influence and spread of Kushite material culture across the greater Mediterranean in the second half of the 1st millennium BCE. His previous field experience includes the Innsbruck-Leiden Excavations at Satu Qala\, Iraq\, the NYUIFA Excavations at Sanam Temple\, Sudan\, and the NYUIFA Excavations at Abydos\, Egypt. He has several years’ experience in museum and curatorial work\, including internships at the Brooklyn Museum of Art\, Oriental Institute Museum\, Cleveland Museum of Art\, RISD Museum\, and the Delaware Museum of Natural History\, in addition to curating shows in New York\, Chicago\, and Providence. He holds an MA from the Institute of Fine Arts\, NYU and a BA (Hons.) in Egyptology from Brown University.\n———————\nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:Colonial Transitions in Ancient Perú: How Osteoimmunology is Reconstructing Hidden Life Histories
DESCRIPTION:How can bioarchaeology be used to illuminate colonial encounters? Dr. Fabian Crespo (UofL Anthropology) addresses this question in his talk\, “Colonial Transitions in Ancient Perú: How Osteoimmunology is Reconstructing Hidden Life Histories.” This presentation will discuss the complex biosocial transition in northwest Peru during the colonial process and how new theoretical and methodological approaches can help reconstruct the immune system in past populations. We explore how different immunological profiles recovered from bones and molecules can help show how complex and heterogeneous the biosocial landscapes were before and after colonial transitions\, challenging and disputing simplistic and unilinear trajectories of life history changes during colonial encounters. \nDr. Fabian Crespo is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Louisville. \n“Colonial Transitions in Ancient Perú” is presented by the Kentucky Society of the Archaeological Institute of America and the UofL Department of Anthropology.

SUMMARY:Jon Frey's The Origins of Roman Bathing at the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Isthmia
DESCRIPTION:Oscar Broneer Memorial Lecture \nIn addition to being one of the most recognizable monuments at the site\, the Roman Bath at Isthmia in Greece continues to yield surprising discoveries. Excavations in the\n1960s through the 1980s revealed not only the 2nd c. CE structure but also parts of an earlier Greek-period pool of impressive dimensions—a fitting monument at a\nSanctuary of Poseidon. Most recently\, a re-investigation of the excavated material and associated documentation has revealed the presence of a third structure that fits in time between the other two. This presentation discusses these buildings by focusing on the discovery in this location of tegula mammata—a peculiar type of tile used in heating systems in Roman-style baths prior to the adoption of the more common tubulus. These artifacts provide evidence for changes both to Roman building practices of the 1st century CE and to the athletic sanctuary as Romans from the re-founded colony of Corinth returned to Isthmia with their own unique needs and expectations.

SUMMARY:Women’s Rights in Marriage and Divorce in Ancient Egypt
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 Alison Wilkinson\, Johns Hopkins University: \n“Women’s Rights in Marriage and Divorce in Ancient Egypt” \nSunday February 9\, 2025\, 3 PM Pacific Standard Time\nRoom 56 Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley \nThis is an in-person lecture and is not virtual. No registration is required.\nThe lecture will be recorded. \nAbout the Lecture: \nThis talk presents a deep dive into the textual evidence for marriage and marital separation with a focus on the question: What rights did women have in these processes? New Kingdom and Demotic legal records together with New Kingdom letter correspondences are examined for the answers. The talk incorporates a recently reanalyzed Ostracon Deir el-Medina 439 for insights on a woman’s rights in divorce during the New Kingdom. The focus on textual sources aims to extrapolate the contemporary perspectives of marriage and divorce. The lexical and grammatical analysis presents insights into the process\, social implications\, and consequences of these social acts. Subtle differences arise in the role of men versus women\, most especially within the context of divorce. This “marriage” of gender studies and linguistic analyses uncovers subtle nuances concerning marital unions and separations within the culture of ancient Egypt. \nAbout the Speaker: \nAlison Wilkinson is a PhD Candidate at Johns Hopkins University\, Baltimore\, Maryland. She graduated with a Bachelors of Art with First Class Honors in Egyptology at the University of Liverpool\, Liverpool\, England in July 2018. She obtained her Masters of Art with Distinction in Egyptology at the University of Liverpool in November 2019. Her Master’s Thesis\, “The Language of ‘Divorce’ in New Kingdom Egypt\,” presents textual analyses into the cultural perceptions of marital separation. This research inspired Alison’s current Doctoral work on Hieratic and Demotic correspondences written by and to women. The aim of this research is to analyze gender dynamics through linguistic methodologies. \nIn April 2024\, Alison presented her paper “A Case of Adultery\, or a Woman’s Choice to Leave? A New Interpretation for O. DeM 439” at ARCE National\, Pittsburg. This paper re-examined the transcription\, translation\, and interpretation of Ostracon DeM 439 in order to argue the case of a woman leaving a marital union. For this paper\, she was awarded First Place in the Best Student Paper Competition. \n—————— \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:Recent Research at the Abó and Quaraí Units of Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument
DESCRIPTION:Lecture. Emily Brown (Aspen CRM Solutions). Aspen CRM Solutions recently completed archaeological surveys of the monument units surrounding the Tompiro pueblo of Abó and the Tiwa pueblo of Quaraí at Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument near Mountainair\, New Mexico\, both of which contain the remains of a large pueblo and a Spanish Colonial mission. The occupation sequences for both are now much better understood\, and detailed ceramic analyses have allowed us to identify the general construction sequences for the various roomblocks at both pueblos. We also have a much better understanding of the use of the surrounding landscape by different groups over time. The presentation summarizes the findings of the surveys and discusses the results of the associated research.

SUMMARY:Emily Egan\, “20\,000 Leagues Under the Wine-Dark Sea”
DESCRIPTION:“20\,000 Leagues Under the Wine-Dark Sea”\nDr. Emily C. Egan\, Assistant Professor of Ancient Eastern Mediterranean Art and Archaeology\, Art History and Archaeology at the University of Maryland \nFebruary 18\, 2025\n7:30 p.m. ET\nDavidson College\nBelk Visual Arts Center 117\nDavidson\, NC \nFREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC \nAbout the lecture:\nThis lecture takes a deep “dive” into depictions of marine life in the art of Late Bronze Age Greece (ca. 1600–1100 BCE). Amid a survey of sea creatures including octopods\, dolphins\, and fish\, special attention is given to the enigmatic argonaut motif and its appearance in the wall paintings of the Mycenaean ‘Palace of Nestor’ at Pylos. At the time of their discovery\, painted argonauts – pelagic cephalopods that grow their own shells – were classed among the site’s purely decorative designs on account of their fanciful coloration and stiff presentation in single-file lines like elements in a modern wallpaper border. New research at the Palace of Nestor\, however\, suggests that argonauts were not simple ornaments but powerful royal symbols\, on par with more fearsome Aegean “totems” like lions and griffins. This lecture presents this new theory and the evidence that underpins it\, and also demonstrates how the painted forms of the creatures\, when viewed closely\, offer rare insight into the thought processes and working methods of Greek Bronze Age artists. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Emily C. Egan (Assistant Professor of Ancient Eastern Mediterranean Art and Archaeology\, Art History and Archaeology at the University of Maryland) is an Aegean prehistorian and field archaeologist. She holds a dual B.A. in Classics and Old World Archaeology and Art from Brown University\, an M.Phil. in Archaeology from the University of Cambridge\, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Classics from the University of Cincinnati. Her research focuses on artistic practice in the Bronze Age Aegean\, and particularly on the production\, consumption\, and iconography of Mycenaean painted surface decoration. She has undertaken archaeological fieldwork in Italy\, Turkey\, Jordan\, Armenia\, Cyprus\, and most recently in Greece\, where she is currently studying wall and floor painting assemblages from the Palace of Nestor at Pylos\, and the Petsas House\, Mycenae.

SUMMARY:Kushite Royal Priestesses in the House of the God
DESCRIPTION:ZOOM lecture\nSaturday\, February 22\, 3:30 pm EST\nRegistration Required: https://arce.org/event/arce-pa-kushite-royal-priestesses-in-the-house-of-the-god-by-debora-heard/ \nSpeaker: Debora Heard \nTitle: Kushite Royal Priestesses in the House of the God \nAbstract:\nFollowing Egypt’s conquest of all of Nubia in the 18th Dynasty\, one of the ways these New Kingdom rulers expressed their dominance over the region was through the construction of religious temples at various sites in Upper and Lower Nubia. It is not known whether the Nubians continued to operate these temples after regaining their independence around 1\,050 BCE. However\, there is evidence that by the time the Kushite king Piankhy left his capital in Upper Nubia to take control of Egypt as the founder of the 25th Dynasty\, at least some of the Amun temples in Nubia were operational. The worship of the god Amun and the incorporation of Egyptian culture and ideology of kingship were the bases for the legitimate establishment of Kushite rule over Egypt. Yet\, even in apparently “Egyptian-looking” contexts\, these Kushite rulers displayed their own cultural particularities. One of these was the prominent role of women in religious contexts. \nIn the religious temples of the reigning kings and queens of Kush\, we see that it was not only the ruler who was responsible for performing rituals for the gods but also other members of the royal family. In particular\, royal women as priestesses were depicted performing various roles in temple scenes or recorded in royal texts. This lecture will analyze the iconographic\, textual\, and archaeological data to explore what their roles and responsibilities were in ensuring the successful fulfillment of the royal responsibilities to the gods. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDebora Heard is a Ph.D. Candidate in Anthropology at the University of Chicago specializing in Nubian archaeology and Egyptian history and language. Her dissertation research engages in a comparative analysis of the inscriptions and iconography of Upper Nubian Kushite temples dedicated to the gods Amun and Apedemak. \nFor more than a decade\, she has given lectured and taught courses on Nubia and Egypt at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures (ISAC)\, the Kemetic Institute of Chicago\, Chicago State University\, the University of Nebraska at Omaha\, and Smithsonian Journeys tours in Egypt. Debora has served as an intern in the Department of Egyptian and Nubian Art at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston and as a curatorial assistant in the initial installation of the Picken Family Nubian Gallery at the ISAC Museum. She has excavated at sites in the Nile 4th-Cataract region in Sudan. \nDebora is a member and serves on the DEI Committee for the American Society of Overseas Research. She is also a member of the Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations\, the Sudan Archaeological Research Society\, the Society of Black Archaeologists\, and the American Sudanese Archaeological Research Center. Finally\, she serves as the organizer and a founding member of the William Leo Hansberry Society\, an organization dedicated to increasing the number of African-descended people in the disciplines of Egyptology\, ancient Nile Valley and Northeast African Studies by promoting access to training\, field work\, funding\, and\, mentoring opportunities at all stages of professional development. \n******************\nThis is a FREE lecture\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:CFP: JIAAW Spring Symposium 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World (JIAAW) is accepting collaborative proposals for a symposium to be held in the spring semester of 2026. Joukowsky symposia are one- or two-day affairs organized around a topic relevant to the central mission of the Institute. This includes a core strength in archaeological and allied approaches to the study of the ancient Mediterranean and the Near East\, complemented by scholarship focused on the ancient Americas and East Asian antiquity. Proposals should focus on either: 1) a geographical area of particular relevance to the JIAAW; or 2) a methodology or theme relevant to JIAAW research\, while bringing together scholars working in a variety of regions\, including (but not limited to) those relevant to the JIAAW. \nProposals should be submitted by a pair of scholars who practice in relevant disciplines\, at least one of whom must hold a Ph.D. At least one organizer should be based outside Brown University; the other should be a JIAAW Academic Faculty member\, Faculty Fellow\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, or Ph.D. candidate or Graduate Student Fellow (ABD status only\, in both cases). Proposal authors will serve as the organizers of the symposium\, which will be held at Rhode Island Hall\, the home of the JIAAW at Brown University. The JIAAW will cover all programming costs related to the event\, including costs of travel and lodging for symposium organizers and all speakers at the event. JIAAW symposia typically have budgets of $15\,000 to $30\,000 and involve a mix of local\, national\, and international scholars. \nSymposium organizers are encouraged to identify why the symposium is a good fit for the JIAAW and Brown University more broadly and to develop a plan for publication of the symposium\, either in a special issue of a journal or an edited volume. \nThe proposal should include the following:\n● A one- to two-page narrative outlining the scope and aims of the symposium and its potential impact on scholarship on archaeology and the ancient world\n● A bibliography of relevant sources cited in the proposal (no more than 2 pages)\n● A list of the names of 8-12 proposed speakers\, including their current academic or professional affiliations\n● Curriculum vitae of both organizers \nProposals will be evaluated by a committee of JIAAW Academic Faculty based on the following criteria:\n● Innovativeness\n● Potential impact on scholarship related to archaeology and the ancient world\, including publication plans\n● The synergy of the proposed lineup of speakers relative to the proposed topics\n● The symposium’s relevance to the central mission of the JIAAW and potential links to other ongoing academic initiatives at Brown University\n● The relevant experience of the organizers\, their history of publication\, and prior experience planning and overseeing conferences. \nA successful proposal will demonstrate capacity to meaningfully impact scholarship on a particular topic\, help create or support meaningful partnerships with colleagues at other institutions\, while also enriching the greater intellectual community of archaeology and the ancient world at Brown University. \nThe 2026 symposium is being considered a pilot event and if successful will lead to further calls for supported symposia in the future. Questions and completed proposals should be directed to jiaaw@brown.edu. For full consideration\, please submit proposals by March 3\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Blending Art\, Minds\, and Artifacts: Understanding How We See What We See by  Maurizio Forte
DESCRIPTION:Maurizio Forte\, Ph.D.\, Duke University \nThis event is kindly hosted by the Embassy of Italy\, Washington\, D.C. \nIn the DC-area and wish to attend in person? Register here: https://embassyofitaly2.swoogo.com/etruscanAI \nThis lecture looks at how art\, archaeology\, and artificial intelligence come together\, focusing on how our\nminds perceive and understand ancient artifacts. It also explores how experiencing historic spaces can en-\ncourage cultural exchange. Using AI tools like neural networks\, we can rethink archaeological sites and monuments as ever-changing\nrather than fixed objects\, evolving each time they are observed and interpreted. Examples include the fa-\nmous Etruscan Sarcophagus of the Spouses (housed at the Museum of Villa Giulia in Rome)\, which has now\nbeen digitally reconstructed using AI models and brainwave (EEG) analysis to study how people respond to\nvirtual simulations. By combining AI and biometric tools to measure engagement\, this approach shows how\ntechnology can help us see the ancient world in new ways. Dr. Forte challenges us to think differently about\nwhat it means to view something\, suggesting that seeing is an active process that creates rich\, layered sto-\nries shaped by memory\, context\, and technology. \nA pioneer in digital and cyberarchaeology\, Maurizio Forte is the William and Sue Gross Distinguished Pro-\nfessor of Classical Studies Art\, Art History\, and Visual Studies at Duke University in Durham\, North Carolina.\nJoining in the discussion following the talk will be P. Gregory Warden\, Ph.D.\, president of the Etruscan\nFoundation\, who has worked in Mediterranean archaeology for over 50 years.
