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

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ongoing dissertation research\, I here present new documentation from the Central Field\, including several previously unpublished Fifth Dynasty mastabas and their unique adaptations to the quarried terrain.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.

SUMMARY:A Dealer\, an Insurance Salesman\, Seven University Museums\, Eighty-Eight Investors\, and Three Hundred Classical Antiquities: a Cautionary Tale – a Nancy Wilkie Lectureship in Archaeological Heritage
DESCRIPTION:This virtual talk will recount a recently-uncovered story of an unusual\, complex\, decades-long antiquities investment scheme orchestrated by Royal-Athena Galleries\, a prominent Manhattan-based antiquities dealer\, that did not end well for most stakeholders. It will also examine the larger ethical implications of the story\, raising questions about the relationship of museums to the art market. It also asks\, is financial investing in art ever a good idea? This talk is sponsored by the Nancy Wilkie Lectureship in Archaeological Heritage.

SUMMARY:Archive Archaeology at Karanis: Recontextualizing the Michigan Documentation in Three Dimensions
DESCRIPTION:The Archaelogical Institute of America (AIA) Central Missouri Society is co-sponsoring with the Classics\, Archaeology\, and Religion (CAR) Department a guest lecture by Dr. Tyler Johnson on November 6th at 5:30 pm with a reception beforehand at 5pm in the Ellis Library auditorium. Dr. Johnson will be presenting “Archive Archaeology at Karanis: Recontextualizing the Mighigan Documentation in Three Dimensions”\, and he will be exploring the challenges and possibilities of conducting “archive archaeology” at Karansis\, creating new tools for exploring\, cross-referencing\, and reinterpreting this essential legacy dataset. \nAlthough far from modern standards\, the University of Michigan excavations at Karanis (1924–1935) employed advanced recording techniques for their time. Documenting the site’s evolution through a system of “levels\,” the excavators left behind a dense archival record of photographs\, tables\, notes\, drawings\, plans\, artifact inventories\, and survey results. Housed at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, this documentation has been consulted for a century but never systematically analyzed or disseminated. The most authoritative source remains an unfinished manuscript by Enoch Peterson (professor at Michigan from 1924–1962)\, never published or made publicly available. \nToday\, a revival of interest in Karanis has created a demand for better curation and accessibility of these records. In response\, researchers at the Kelsey Museum are leading a digital initiative with two objectives. First\, drawing upon legacy survey data and new radiocarbon results\, we are using the game engine Unity to reconstruct and reinterpret the site’s chronological evolution in three dimensions. Second\, we are transforming Peterson’s manuscript and related materials into an interactive\, open-access resource. These collaborative efforts between Kelsey researchers\, staff\, graduate\, and undergraduate students go beyond digitization\, requiring the restructuring and reassessment of excavation data within an updated framework. \nAs we integrate new insights and methodologies\, our work sometimes calls the Michigan excavators’ original interpretations into question. This raises the need to balance faithful preservation of archival materials with that of reassessing the excavation results through contemporary archaeological lenses. This paper explores the challenges and possibilities of conducting “archive archaeology” at Karanis\, creating new tools for exploring\, cross-referencing\, and reinterpreting this essential legacy dataset.

SUMMARY:Sparta and Totalitarianism
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Susan Downie – Carleton University \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”? \nThere will also be an initial talk by Christos Zigoumis on Mani and Cephalonia: Survey and Excavation.

No registration is required.\nThe lecture will be recorded for later publication on the chapter’s YouTube channel. \nAbout the Lecture: \nThe overall model for understanding the ancient Egyptian afterlife in scholarship and popular culture alike is well known: The ancient Egyptians believed in a post-mortem judgement that would determine their fate in the afterlife\, being either rewarded with an eternal life of bliss or punished with painful annihilation. However\, in my new book Yearning for Immortality\, I argue that for the most part these ideas were in place well before the decipherment of hieroglyphs and thus draw more on Greek and especially Christian frameworks for life after death than on ancient Egyptian ones\, meaning that our model for understanding the Egyptian afterlife is due for a fundamental rethinking. This lecture covers some of the main results presented in Yearning for Immortality before turning to the question\, raised only briefly in the last chapter of the book\, of what such a rethinking might look like. If we cannot read texts like the “Book of the Dead” as straightforward descriptions of the Egyptian afterlife\, then what sources can we draw on to get a sense of ancient Egyptian ideas of life and death? And correspondingly\, what strategies for reading and viewing funerary texts and art can we use to approximate an indigenous understanding as opposed to one projecting Western models of postmortem existence? \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Rune Nyord is Associate Professor of Ancient Egyptian Art and Archaeology at Emory University\, where he is also Chair of the Art History Department. His research focuses on conceptions and experiences of representation\, ontology\, and personhood in ancient Egypt\, especially as evidenced in funerary culture\, and drawing on a combination of archaeological and textual sources. He is also interested in the history of the discipline of Egyptology and ways in which it continues to influence contemporary practices and interpretations. He is the author\, editor\, or co-editor of several books\, the most recent being the monograph Yearning for Immortality: The European Invention of the Ancient Egyptian Afterlife (Chicago 2025) and a co-edited special issue of Interdisciplinary Egyptology titled Egyptology in Dialogue (Vienna\, 2025). \n——————— \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:Decoding the Pyramid Statues of King Menkaure
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Florence Dunn Friedman\, Visiting Scholar\, Department of Egyptology and Assyriology\, Brown University \nKing Menkaure’s Fourth Dynasty pyramid temples at Giza were once filled with statues. The surviving statues represent some of the finest in ancient Egyptian sculpture. Crafted for eternity\, these statues served as “bodies” through which the king could function in this life and the next. The iconography\, inscriptions\, figural groupings\, stances\, gestures\, and even the damage of these statues have stories to tell. While these stories rarely involved ordinary Egyptians\, certain statue details hint at far-reaching economic ties that did. This talk dives into the mysteries behind Menkaure’s sculptures—exploring their symbolism\, damage\, and relocation—and reveals how much they still have to say\, even after thousands of years. \nAdvance registration recommended for online and in-person attendance. \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.
