SUMMARY:Argilos After Philip II: Fortifying Lands\, Cultivating Wealth
DESCRIPTION:Following its conquest by Philip II of Macedon in 357 BCE\, the city of Argilos was abandoned\, and its land redistributed to a Macedonian general. Responsible for overseeing his territory within the expanding Macedonian realm\, he also capitalized on the region’s olive oil production\, as evidenced by the remains found on the Acropolis of Argilos. This talk will explore the dual role of Argilos in the post-conquest period\, highlighting its strategic significance and economic exploitation under Macedonian rule. By Laure-Sarah Ethier (Université de Montréal )

SUMMARY:Using AI and Remote Sensing to Fight Looting and the Archaeo-Mafie
DESCRIPTION:Looting of historical sites and monuments still happens in Italy\, every day. There is only one reason for this criminal activity: money. And with illegal revenues comes organized crime. Indeed Italian Mafias are involved in trafficking illicit antiquities and supporting professional looters who can now use tools like drones for rapid site identification and theft.\nTo counter these threats\, the Centre for Cultural Heritage Technology (CCHT) of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (ITT) has pioneered the use of Artificial Intelligence. Their tools can now sift through vast amounts of satellite imagery to pinpoint illegal excavations and analyze online communications to reconstruct major trafficking groups and their criminal networks.\nIn this talk\, CCHT Director Dr. Arianna Traviglia will detail how these tools can be used to detect and prevent looting and to provide intelligence against illicit trafficking of cultural goods.

SUMMARY:Amelia Edwards’ United States Lecture Tour and the Beginnings of American Egyptology
DESCRIPTION:ANNUAL KORSYN LECTURE\nIn-Person Lecture\nSaturday\, March 29 at 3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Kathleen Sheppard \nLecture Topic: Amelia Edwards’ United States Lecture Tour and the Beginnings of American Egyptology \nAbstract:\nOn a cold November evening in 1889\, Amelia Edwards took the stage at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in Brooklyn\, New York. The lecture she gave to 2\,400 people that night\, entitled “The buried cities of Ancient Egypt\,” was a success. Over the next four months\, Edwards gave over 100 lectures all over the northeastern US\, and as far West as Chicago and Minneapolis\, exciting interest in Egypt everywhere she went. Alongside her every step of the way was her secretary\, assistant\, hair and makeup artist\, and friend\, Kate Bradbury. \nOften we talk about Egyptology in the US beginning in Chicago with the Cairo exhibit on the Midway at the World Columbian Exhibition in 1892. Or we say interest in Egypt began when the University of Chicago was founded\, with a department and a museum dedicated to the subject\, in 1895. Others place importance in the earlier collections\, like the Abbott Collection in New York as early as the 1860s. However\, using Bradbury’s letters home during the tour\, newspaper reports\, Edwards’ lectures\, and other contemporaneous materials\, I argue that it wasn’t wealthy men who started building Egyptological institutions in the US. Instead\, the catalyst for widespread public interest in Egyptology in the United States was the initial encounters with ancient Egypt made possible by a women-led lecture tour in the winter of 1889-90. \nObviously these women did not travel a thousand miles on the Hudson River\, but they easily traversed that distance in the time they were in the US\, speaking to and meeting with influential people across the country. This presentation will outline the journey of Amelia Edwards and Kate Bradbury and the impact they had on the Egyptology in the US. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Kathleen Sheppard is a Professor in the History and Political Science department at Missouri S&T in Rolla\, Missouri. She earned her MA in Egyptian Archaeology at University College London in 2002\, and her PhD in History of Science from the University of Oklahoma in 2010. Her first book was a scientific biography of Margaret Alice Murray (2013) that focused on Murray’s life and career\, both in and out of Egyptology. She has spent her whole career telling the stories of women in Egyptology. Her most recent book\, Women in the Valley of the Kings: The Untold Story of Women Egyptologists in the Gilded Age (St. Martins Press\, 2024) is a grand retelling of the history of Egyptology through the work that women did. \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:Hybrid lecture: Teotihuacan: Origins\, Urbanism\, and Daily Life
DESCRIPTION:2025 Gordon R. Willey Lecture \nDavid M. Carballo\, Professor of Anthropology\, Archaeology\, and Latin American Studies\, Boston University \nTeotihuacan\, one of the largest cities in the world over 1\,500 years ago\, stands today as a premier archaeological site and a powerful symbol of Mexico’s precolonial heritage. Despite its enduring fame and millions of annual visitors\, much remains misunderstood about the Teotihuacanos who built and inhabited this extraordinary city. This lecture delves into the intricate history of Teotihuacan\, exploring its rise as a multiethnic metropolis and a center of innovation. David Carballo will examine the city’s immediate antecedents and urbanization\, its unique architectural hallmark of apartment-style living\, and the dynamic networks of migration and cultural exchange that shaped its identity. By connecting the iconic pyramids to the daily lives of the city’s inhabitants\, this talk offers a deeper understanding of one of the ancient world’s most fascinating urban centers. \nFree event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Advance registration recommended for in-person and online attendance \nPresented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and Harvard Museums of Science & Culture in collaboration with the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies\, Harvard University. \nPhoto: Jennifer Carballo

SUMMARY:Making a Spectacle of Oneself: Reflections on Mirrors and Dress in Classical Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:A joint program sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America Dayton Society\, the Miami University Department of History\, and the Richard and Carole Cocks Art Museum at Miami University. \nAlthough we often take them for granted\, mirrors in antiquity were powerful tools for the construction of feminine identity. Building on the idea of the mirror as speculum\, we will explore how the mirror reflected concepts of beauty\, care of the body\, economic status\, marital status\, and social role\, throughout the female life-cycle. The ritual functions of mirrors connected women to the divine\, and even determined their fate. We will also consider the post-classical “lives” of ancient mirrors\, several of which can be found in museums throughout Ohio. This public lecture is in association with HST 210S “Roman Civilization and Roman Spectacle” \nMireille Lee is the Founder and Executive Director of the Foundation for Ethical Stewardship of Cultural Heritage (FESCH)\, and Project Director for the Mediterranean Antiquities Provenance Research Alliance (MAPRA). A classical archaeologist by\ntraining\, she earned her AB from Occidental College\, and her MA and PhD from Bryn Mawr. She has published widely on ancient Greek art\, gender studies\, and object biography. Her first monograph\, Body\, Dress\, and Identity in Ancient Greece\, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2015. Her current book project\, on ancient Greek mirrors\, is under contract with Oxford University Press.

SUMMARY:In search of Artemis-Tyche: the cult and sanctuary of Artemis in the Decapolis city of Gerasa
DESCRIPTION:The AIA San Francisco Society is thrilled to welcome Dr. Rubina Raja (Aarhus University) back to Berkeley. Please join us to hear Dr. Raja speak about the archaeology and history of ancient Gerasa. This will be the final lecture of the AIA San Francisco Society’s 2024-2025 lecture series. \nAbstract: The Antonine period Artemis sanctuary in the Decapolis city Gerasa is one of the largest sanctuaries in the Roman world. With its impressive architecture and central location in the city\, which also was named Antioch on the Gold River\, the sanctuary has received a lot of attention in scholarship for more than a century. What is less known\, however\, is the fact that the sanctuary had a forerunner\, which has until now not been located. This presentation takes its point of departure in new research undertaken on the archaeology and history of Gerasa\, which has been aimed at\, among other things\, reinvestigating the pre-Antonine Artemis cult in Gerasa. \nSpeaker: Dr. Rubina Raja\, Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art\, Director of The Danish National Research Foundation’s Centre of Excellence for Urban Network Evolutions\, Aarhus University\, Denmark

SUMMARY:Research and Excavations at Sardis
DESCRIPTION:In this year’s Sardis Biennial Lecture\, Professor Nicholas Cahill of the University of Wisconsin–Madison will discuss recent excavations at Sardis in Türkiye. The Archaeological Exploration of Sardis has been sponsored by Harvard University and Cornell University since 1958 and is authorized by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Discoveries include monumental remains of the early Lydian palace and a new sector of well-preserved houses destroyed by Cyrus the Great in 547 BCE. Work continues on the largest Roman arch in the world and on late antique houses built atop a sanctuary to the emperor Claudius. A protective roof was built over the Lydian fortification\, and a team of local women conserved the mosaics of the Synagogue—the largest in the ancient world. \nSpeaker: Nicholas D. Cahill\, Field Director\, Archaeological Exploration of Sardis\, and Professor of Greek and Roman Art and Archaeology\, University of Wisconsin–Madison \nFree admission\, but seating is limited and registration is encouraged. For more information and to register\, please click on the Event Website link noted below. \nThis lecture will be recorded and made available for online viewing; check the Event Website link after the event for details on how to view.

SUMMARY:Archaeology of the Ọyọ Empire: Domesticity of Governance & Politics of Dependency\, 1600-1836
DESCRIPTION:Martha Sharp Joukowsky Lectureships \nDr. Akin Ogundiran\, “Archaeology of the Ọyọ Empire: Domesticity of Governance and Politics of Dependency\, 1600-1836” \nThursday\, April 10 at 5:30pm EST\nUMass Amherst\, Integrated Learning Center S211\nFor Zoom attendance\, register here: https://umass-amherst.zoom.us/meeting/register/UU0SqUeGS8mVuL6k98vAnA \nBetween ca. 1650 and 1800\, the Ọyọ Empire was the largest political formation in West Africa\, south of the River Niger. Over the past twenty years\, Akin Ogundiran has conducted archaeological research in the capital\, colonies\, and provinces of the empire to understand the strategies of Ọyọ expansion and the everyday lives of different segments of its population. In this talk\, Ogundiran juxtaposes the materialities of military conquest\, colonization strategies\, and household politics to tell an intimate story of one of the most important imperial formations in Africa during the Early Modern Period. Here\, the regional and multi-sited scope and the residential contexts of the archaeological research allow for a fine-scale understanding of how domesticity\, gender\, class\, labor\, technology\, mobility\, and the landscape were manipulated to fashion the Ọyọ Empire. In the process\, ideas about personhood\, family\, and sexuality were also transformed. The archaeology of the Ọyọ Empire contributes to a truly global understanding of the Early Modern Period. \nAbout the Speaker\nAkin Ogundiran is the Cardiss Collins Professor of Arts and Sciences\, Professor of History\, and Courtesy Professor of Anthropology and of Black Studies at Northwestern University. He is the current President of the Society of Africanist Archaeologists. His research interests include the topics of empire and community formation in West Africa and the African Diaspora over the past 2\,500 years\, with emphasis on the archaeology and cultural history of the Yoruba World. Professor Ogundiran’s publications include The Yoruba: A New History (Indiana University Press\, 2020)\, recipient of the 2022 Vinson Sutlive Book Prize and the 2022 Isaac Oluwole Delano Prize for Yoruba Studies. He is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London and a Member of the Nigerian Academy of Letters. \nThis year’s AIA National Martha Sharp Joukowsky Lecture is co-sponsored by the AIA–Western Massachusetts Society\, UMass Amherst Department of Classics\, UMass Amherst Department of Anthropology\, and W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies

SUMMARY:Lecture: Susan Downie (Carleton University)\, "Sparta and Totalitarianism"
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 10th\, at 600pm\, Dr. Susan Downie (Carleton University) will deliver the lecture\, “Sparta and Totalitarianism\,” in room LB 322 of Concordia University’s Webster Library. \nAbstract\nThe ancient Greek city-state of Sparta has never really left the imagination of western civilization. From political philosophers like Plato and Aristotle to modern political parties such as Greece’s Χρυσή Αυγή “Golden Dawn”\, the Spartan state and its citizens have represented an “ideal” for which to strive. What elements of the ancient Spartan state and society have made it the poster-child for modern Totalitarianism? Given the significant problems with our sources about ancient Sparta\, can we ever understand exactly how the state and its citizens functioned\, or must we forever deal with the “Spartan mirage”?

SUMMARY:A DEM-onstration of Quantitative 3D Analysis: Lower Nubia in the Recent and Distant Past
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 12\n3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2\nIn-person; no registration required \nSpeaker: Rolland Long\, PhD Candidate\, UPenn \nTitle: “A DEM-onstration of Quantitative 3D Analysis: Lower Nubia in the Recent and Distant Past” \nAbstract:\nSoon after the declassification of satellite imagery from the CORONA satellite spy-mission in the mid-1990’s\, archaeologists working around the world recognized quickly recognized their value. The spy mission\, which had originally been designed to provide intelligence on Soviet bomber and missile capabilities during the Cold War\, also recorded the appearance of archaeological sites and landscapes heavily altered or destroyed by recent urban development. This talk focuses on a burgeoning new application of CORONA imagery: the generation of historical Digital Elevation Models (DEM) from such images\, which can yield important quantitative insights about terrain no longer in existence.\nSpecifically\, this talk will produce several DEM’s produced over Lower Nubia\, which has been subject to flooding and rising water levels since the establishment of the Aswan High Dam about half-a-century ago. Though a heroic international effort had sought to salvage as much archaeological information as possible prior to its construction\, much about the ancient history of the area has been swept away forever. These DEM’s will situate the Egyptian forts of several areas\, including Semna and Askut\, within their larger geographical context. Certain physical features of these fortresses\, such as intervisibility between forts and their proximity to overland routes\, can now be verified quantitatively with these DEM’s in conjunction with GIS toolkits. \nSpeaker Bio:\nRolland Long is a PhD Candidate in Egyptian archaeology at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to attending Penn\, he earned his BA from the University of Chicago\, where he graduated with honors in Egyptology. His research focuses on the post-Middle Kingdom occupation of Wah-Sut\, on which he currently dissertates\, as well as the general character of ancient urbanism in Egypt. He works primarily as a field archaeologist\, and has worked 7 field seasons in South Abydos with Penn. \nIn addition\, Rolland is interested in the larger\, quantitative problems that concern ancient Egypt\, such as demography\, as well as remote sensing and the analytical utilization of 3D modeling. He also possesses a strong curiosity regarding philology and grammar; he worked several years as a research assistant at the Chicago Demotic Dictionary (CDD) during his graduate career. \n******************\nLectures are FREE to ARCE-PA chapter members\, $7 for University of Pennsylvania Museum Members and UPenn Staff and Faculty\, $5 for Students with ID\, and $10 for the general public.\nCoffee\, tea\, and cookies 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:11th Century Turkey Management in the Mimbres Valley
DESCRIPTION:Lecture. Sean Dolan (Los Alamos Laboratories). For nearly two millennia\, people in the US Southwest and Mexican Northwest have maintained a significant relationship with turkeys\, a bird they domesticated for their feathers\, meat\, and other resources. Recent archaeological studies reveal diverse regional and temporal patterns in turkey management\, but how and why did people in the Mimbres Valley of southwestern New Mexico from CE 1000-1130 manage and interact with these birds? In this presentation\, Sean Dolan incorporates Mimbres pottery iconography\, bone isotope analysis\, and ancient DNA to explore the role and treatment of turkeys in this region.
