SUMMARY:The Missing Link: A Wari-Related Burial in Huanchaco\, North Coast of Peru
DESCRIPTION:Despite more than 100 years of archaeological research on the North Coast of Peru\, very little is known about the transition from the so-called Moche society into the Chimu empire. \nThis timeframe\, CIRCA A.D. 850-1000/1050\, is poorly understood not only in the North Coast of Peru\, but more broadly all over the Central Andean Region. Current models explain this period of time as a moment of political\, economic\, and militaristic control of the Wari Society. \nThis southern highland group has expanded as a well-organized state-like formation. Indeed\, some scholars suggest that it may be the first Andean empire\, and current models also suggest alternative scenarios. The recent burial in Huanchaco provides insight into the behavior of lower elites following the collapse of the Moche society and its transition into the Chimu Empire\, highlighting the persistence of religious and artistic traditions from earlier times\, as well as the innovations introduced from the highlands to the coast.

SUMMARY:Mavericks: Three Visionary Pharaohs of Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 15\, 6:00–7:00 pm ET\, Advance registration recommended for online and in-person attendance\nGeological Lecture Hall\, 24 Oxford Street\, Cambridge\, MA \nSpeaker: Lawrence M. Berman is John F. Cogan\, Jr. and Mary L. Cornille Chair\, Art of Ancient Egypt\, Nubia\, and the Near East\, Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston \nHatshepsut\, Amenhotep III\, and Akhenaten each ruled Egypt for long periods\, leaving a lasting impact on its art\, politics\, and religion. Though all were powerful leaders\, each tells a distinct story. In this lecture\, Lawrence M. Berman explores the reigns and legacies of these three remarkable Eighteenth Dynasty pharaohs\, considering questions such as: What made them successful—or controversial? How were they viewed in their own time\, and how have archaeologists and the public interpreted them since? The talk also examines broader themes—from the power of images and identity to iconoclasm and the writing of history—inviting reflection on who gets to shape history\, and why it still matters today. \nFree admission. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage starting at 4:00 pm. Presented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science and Culture. \nHead of Amenhotep III. New Kingdom\, Dynasty 18\, reign of Amenhotep III\, 1390–1352 BCE.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture by Dr. Eric Cline
DESCRIPTION:The Cobb Institute is turning 50! Please join us for a free lecture to kick off our anniversary celebration by Dr. Eric Cline\, titled “1177 BC Revisited: Updating the Late Bronze Age Collapse”\, on Thursday\, October 16th at 6pm in Rogers Auditorium (McCool Hall\, room 100). \nDr. Eric H. Cline is Professor of Classics 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 two-time Fulbright Scholar\, National Geographic Explorer\, NEH Public Scholar\, Getty Scholar\, and member of the Explorers Club\, 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 more than twenty books and nearly one hundred articles; translations of his books have appeared in nineteen different languages. He is perhaps best known for 1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed\, which has sold more than a quarter of a million copies world-wide and was considered for a Pulitzer Prize in 2015. Two of his lectures on the topic\, posted on YouTube by the sponsoring societies\, have been viewed a total of more than ten million times. \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 collapsed rapidly. It was not until centuries later that a new cultural renaissance emerged in Greece and the other affected areas\, setting the stage for the evolution of Western society as we know it today. In recent years\, more data relevant to the potential causes of the Late Bronze Age Collapse in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean have become available. The new information includes additional texts from Ugarit in north Syria documenting both famine and invaders; DNA analyses of burials found in the Philistine city of Ashkelon; and new studies of lake sediments\, stalagmites in caves\, and coring from lakes and lagoons in regions stretching from Italy and Greece to Turkey\, Syria\, Lebanon\, Israel\, and Iran\, all of which suggest that there was an ongoing megadrought. Studying such an ancient catastrophe remains relevant to us today\, for we are not as far removed from those days as one might think.

SUMMARY:Sacred Dancers of the Goddess Hathor
DESCRIPTION:In the cult of the ancient goddess Hathor\, many important rites of based in the performance of dance and music. These dances were performed by (primarily) women in professional dance troupes called khener. In such rituals the power of music and movement were harnessed to transport the worshipper into an ecstatic encounter with the Divine. Worshippers engaged in nocturnal rituals for the goddess Hathor sought this type of ecstatic encounter. Ancient Egyptian texts preserve the name of this sacred dance (ksks) and document the ritual processions of Nubians into Egypt as they accompanied the return of the goddess Hathor who was believed to reside in Nubia and return annually to Egypt. This paper will trace this sacred dance through its performance in Egypt\, Nubia\, Meroe\, and perhaps its survival among groups living in Ethiopia today. \nThis event is part of the programming for the exhibition The World Between: Egypt and Nubia in Africa (The Fralin Museum of Art\, University of Virginia\, August 30 2025-June 14 2026)\, and also a celebration of International Archaeology Day. \nLink to webinar: https://virginia.zoom.us/j/99806745693?pwd=MycdTYNOVuYHblDadaJa3o4Pc7Vqzo.1

Participants will be encouraged to hold their questions for the speaker until after the lecture\, and will also be encouraged to address their questions for the speaker to everyone\, not just to the speaker\, so that all can see them. “Everyone” is the default chat option. \nIf you have any questions\, please email glenn@glennmeyer.net or arcencZoom@gmail.com. \nAbout the Lecture: \nDespite the southern shift of the royal necropolises during the Fifth Dynasty\, the Giza Plateau remained an important locus of non‐royal burials until the end of the Old Kingdom. While explanations for choosing Giza as a necropolis after the Fourth Dynasty range from royal cultic activity to the perpetuation of generational funerary traditions\, the nearby settlements reveal a more complex picture of human activity on the plateau. \nAt the heart of this landscape lies the “Central Field\,” a cemetery whose characteristic landscape originated from its use as a quarry basin for the construction of Khufu’s pyramid. While often cast in historiography as a Fourth Dynasty site\, the Central Field is in fact dominated by tombs of the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties. Despite its significance for understanding the broader history of the Giza Necropolis\, the cemetery has not been extensively studied since the excavations of Selim Hassan (1886–1961) in the early twentieth century. \nDrawing on my ongoing dissertation research\, I here present new documentation from the Central Field\, including several previously unpublished Fifth Dynasty mastabas and their unique adaptations to the quarried terrain. Case studies include the tombs of Khafreankh (G 8840) and Nisutpunetjer (G 8740)\, excavated prior to the Egyptian initiatives\, alongside published monuments whose owners may be referenced in the Abusir archives: Rawer (G 8988) and Khuwiwer (G 8764 = LG 95). By combining an analysis of construction practices with the social history of those interred here\, this lecture explores the Central Field to understand the enduring draw of the Giza after the construction of its pyramids. \nAbout the Speaker: \nJulia Viani Puglisi received her B.A. in Classical Languages at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and an MA in Egyptology at Indiana University\, Bloomington. She is currently completing her PhD at Harvard University\, where her dissertation\, “Transformation at the Giza Pyramids: The Central Field Cemetery\,” examines landscape change in the quarry-cemetery of the Central Field. \nSince 2022\, Puglisi has been working in the Central Field at Giza with the support of an American Research Center in Egypt-Council of American Overseas Research Centers Fellowship (2022–2024) and the Margaret Weyerhaeuser Jewett Memorial Fellowship (2024). Her research investigates how anthropogenic sites are maintained\, reused\, and transformed over time. Drawing on archaeological documentation and 3D modeling\, she traces these changes to reconstruct a social history of the Giza Plateau after the pyramids were built. As a member of the Giza Project at Harvard\, Puglisi is producing improved site maps for use by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities\, while also working to protect the cemetery from human and environmental threats. \nAbout Northern California ARCE: \nFor more information\, please visit https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://www.facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://arce-nc.org\, https://bsky.app/profile/khentiamentiu.bsky.social\, and https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:The Lumbee River Archaeology Project (LRAP)
DESCRIPTION:About the lecture: \nThe Lumbee Tribe\, one of the largest tribes in the US\, has a rich history in the Carolinas\, yet a recent executive memorandum from President Trump has reignited debates around federal recognition policies. This talk will situate the current discourse around the Lumbee Tribe within the historical framework of evolving federal policies on recognition\, and introduce the Lumbee River Archaeology Project. Founded in 2024 in collaboration with the Lumbee Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO)\, LRAP aims to provide archaeological training to the THPO staff\, document and preserve ancestral sites\, pursue research questions developed with tribal leaders\, and share our findings with the community in addition to publishing in academic journals. \nAbout the speaker: \nAn anthropological archaeologist\, Dr. Seth Grooms works primarily in the Eastern Woodlands of North America. His research focuses on crafting archaeological narratives of Native histories that are\, as much as possible\, informed by Native American perspectives. He uses methods from geoarchaeology\, landscape archaeology\, and chronological modeling\, and he interprets the resulting data within a theoretical framework comprising traditional anthropological theory as well as Native American philosophies and epistemologies. Grooms’ work in Mississippi and Louisiana has focused on early monumentality in North America at sites that participated in the Poverty Point phenomenon (ca. 4500-3000 cal yr BP). His interests in community-based archaeology led him to work with the Crow Tribe (Apsáalooke) in Montana in 2016. Dr. Grooms’ most recent project is the Lumbee River Archaeology Project.

SUMMARY:Windows on the Ancient Mediterranean: Glass and Society
DESCRIPTION:A lecture co-sponsored by Tulane University’s Department of Classical Studies & the New Orleans Society of the AIA \nDr. Allison Sterrett-Krause\, College of Charleston (SC) will lecture on Roman glass \nAs archaeologists\, we are all familiar with artifacts of daily life\, like pottery vessels\, and artworks\, like architecture\, statues\, mosaics\, and wall paintings\, from the ancient world. Glass straddled the line between artwork and object of daily life in the Greek and Roman worlds. We often see glass in museum collections and marvel at its beauty and preservation\, but we rarely learn about this material in our studies. In this lecture\, we’ll use glass as a lens to explore ancient society. We will investigate religious and commemorative practices\, evidence for recycling and trade\, the use of glass vessels as a social marker\, and—of course—windows. \nNOTE: a photo ID is needed for entry into the university library.

SUMMARY:From Berlin to Berkeley: The History of the Edward Gans Collection of Seals and Its Hidden Gems – a Ellen and Charles S. La Follette Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures currently houses the Edward Gans Collection of Seals\, comprising almost seven hundred seals and seal-related objects from a variety of periods\, extending from the Neolithic Middle East to Post-classical Mesoamerica. Since 2023\, a new team of Berkeley scholars has been working on the collection to prepare it for digital publication\, and this talk arises from the provenance research undertaken as part of that project. This talk will highlight the fascinating story of how the Gans Collection came to be and the legacy of Nazi persecution that shaped the collection’s history\, while also featuring several Sasanian seals in the collection of particular significance. This is one of the annual Ellen and Charles S. La Follette Lectures.

SUMMARY:Reading Matthew’s Gospel in the Cemeteries of Roman Syria and Judea
DESCRIPTION:Why does the Gospel of Matthew prefer a different word for burials\, taphoi\, than the other New Testament gospels? And why does Matthew consistently revise his sources to describe Jesus’s burial as costly? Matthew emphasizes that Jesus was anointed with expensive spices and buried in a rich patron’s new tomb\, which makes it appear as though he wanted to portray Jesus as receiving an elite burial. If\, however\, we read Matthew’s descriptions of burials in light of archaeological evidence of changing mortuary practices in provincial Syria and Judea\, where the gospel was composed sometime in the late first century\, his motives appear more complicated. Quick though he is to indicate that Jesus received a rich man’s burial\, Matthew is clear that this did not include any of the lavish displays of status that were increasingly common on elite tombs in Matthew’s context. Through a critical analysis of both text and funerary archaeology\, this presentation explores how the author of Matthew and his earliest audiences responded to and participated in cultural and socioeconomic changes induced by geopolitical shifts in the Roman East. \nBiography\nDr. Tony Keddie is Associate Professor of Ancient Mediterranean Religions and Fellow of the Ronald Nelson Smith Chair in Classics and Christian Origins at the University of Texas at Austin. An award-winning social historian\, Keddie’s interdisciplinary research focuses on the intersections of religion and economics in the Roman East\, particularly among Jews and Christians in Judea and Asia Minor. He is the author of four books\, including Class and Power in Roman Palestine; co-editor of five books\, including Revelation and Material Religion in the Roman East; and author of more than two dozen articles. \nRegistration required.
