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. 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: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.

SUMMARY:Exploring Human Origins at Kenya’s Lake Turkana
DESCRIPTION:Free Public Lecture – Online & In Person \n2025 Hallam L. Movius\, Jr. Lecture Series \nLouise Leakey\, Director\, Koobi Fora Research Project; Research Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, Stony Brook University; National Geographic Explorer at Large \nKenya’s fossil-rich Turkana Basin has been—for over five decades—a cornerstone in unraveling the story of human origins in Africa. In this lecture\, renowned paleoanthropologist Louise Leakey will delve into the groundbreaking discoveries at Lake Turkana\, including hominins and fossil fauna that have reshaped our understanding of human ancestry. She will discuss the challenges of early exploration\, and the impact of the Koobi Fora research camp\, the National Museums of Kenya\, and the Turkana Basin Institute\, in advancing paleoscience. In closing\, she will address opportunities to enhance research\, collections care\, and capacity-building at Lake Turkana through innovative funding\, collaborations\, and citizen science projects. \nAdvance registration recommended for in-person and online attendance. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. \nPresented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology\, the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture\, and the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology\, Harvard University. \nLouise Leakey is a third-generation Kenyan paleoanthropologist who is carrying on the legacy of the famed Leakey family in the search for human origins in Kenya’s fossil-rich Turkana Basin. A National Geographic Explorer at Large\, Leakey\, daughter of Meave and Richard Leakey\, and granddaughter of Louis and Mary Leakey\, all renowned paleoanthropologists\, became actively involved in fossil discoveries at age five when she was proclaimed the youngest documented person to find a hominid fossil. Educated in the UK\, she earned a PhD in Biology from University College London in 2001. Leakey also serves as a research professor in Anthropology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and a research associate at the National Museums of Kenya. Louise directs the paleo-anthropological expeditions of the Koobi Fora Research Project in northern Kenya. New discoveries by her team in recent years include multiple hominin fossils\, as well as the 1.5 million-year hominin trackway published in Science in 2024. A new species discovered at Lake Turkana in 1999 extended human fossil diversity back to 3.5 million years and\, according to the New York Times\, “overturns the prevailing view that a single line of descent stretched through the early stages of human ancestry.” Additional fossils recovered from this time period in recent years have contributed to the understanding of the diversity in the hominin fossil record. In addition to her long-term field studies in the Turkana Basin\, Leakey also works closely with local communities and alongside wildlife authorities to preserve Kenya’s unique plants and animals of Kenya’s north. A lively lecturer\, she gives talks and distributes science stories to Kenyan school children as part of the outreach efforts of her research project through her organization Leakey Journeys and Expeditions. Born and brought up in East Africa\, she has travelled widely throughout the continent. Her family has been involved in the field of human origins for several generations and has contributed enormously to the understanding of our African origins through their work in both Kenya and Tanzania. Her family has been involved in politics and government\, national museums\, and wildlife conservation. Her husband\, Emmanuel de Merode\, is Director of Virunga National Park in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo\, Africa’s oldest national park and home to endangered mountain gorillas. His team has worked tirelessly to secure the future of this protected area through significant investments in renewable energy in this war-torn region. Louise is a mother of two adult daughters\, a pilot\, and an educator. She has many colorful experiences and insights to share.

SUMMARY:Dr Eleanor Breen\, "Buried Beneath the Waterfront: The Ships That Built Alexandria"
DESCRIPTION:Dr Eleanor Breen\, Alexandria Archaeology  \nFounded in 1749\, Alexandria\, Virginia\, is a vibrant city just seven miles south of Washington\, D.C. In recent years\, the City of Alexandria has embarked on a major revitalization of its historic waterfront\, integrating new development with park and infrastructure improvements. With a nearly 50-year-old Alexandria Archaeology program and a pioneering Archaeological Protection Code\, the city remains deeply committed to preserving its buried history. The code ensures that archaeological review and excavation are factored into the development process. \nAs plans to transform the waterfront took shape\, archaeologists launched an intensive exploration of some of the most historically significant sites within the National Register Historic District. Over the past decade\, excavations have uncovered the remnants of wharves\, warehouses\, industries\, houselots\, privies\, and four ship hull remnants—preserved in the waterlogged soil along the Potomac River’s edge. This talk will trace the remarkable journeys of these four ships: from their time at sea to their reuse as landfill\, their rediscovery centuries later\, and the efforts to preserve them for future generations.

SUMMARY:Repair and Restore: Embracing Change\, Preserving Memory\, and Building Community through the Conservation of Cultural Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Though often understood as a purely technical or aesthetic pursuit that focuses on restoring historical objects to their former splendor\, the conservation of cultural heritage is a profoundly human and complex endeavor. Objects and places gain significance from the people who make\, value\, and care for them. Change is inevitable and becomes part of the history of any object or place. Thus\, heritage conservation is a collective undertaking that involves collaboration and community to understand both what is to be safeguarded and how to pass the object on to future generations. \nThrough case studies on conservation projects dealing with the Tomb of Tutankhamen in Egypt and archaeological mosaics in the Mediterranean region\, this presentation by architectural conservator Jeanne Marie Teutonico will highlight the fundamentally collaborative nature of cultural heritage conservation and how it engages and builds community. \nSpeaker: Jeanne Marie Teutonico\, Architectural Conservator \nFree admission\, but seating is limited and registration is encouraged.

Dr. Lucarelli teaches\, lectures and researches Egyptomania and the reception of ancient Egypt in the contemporary world\, in particular on the representation of ancient Egypt in Afrofuturism. She also teaches courses of Egyptology\, Comparative Religion and Interdisciplinary Writing at San Quentin State Prison through the Mount Tamalpais College (https://www.mttamcollege.org/). \nDr. Lucarelli studied at the University of Naples “L’Orientale\,” Italy\, where she received her MA degree in Classical Languages and Egyptology.
