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.

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.

SUMMARY:Book talk & Signing - Yearning for Immortality: The European Invention of the Ancient Egyptian Afterlife
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 book talk and signing by Dr. Rune Nyord\, Emory University: \n“Yearning for Immortality: The European Invention of the Ancient Egyptian Afterlife” \nSunday November 9\, 2025\, 3 PM Pacific Standard Time\nMELC Lounge\, Room 254 Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley\nBecause of nearby construction\, please allow extra time to park your vehicle. \nThis is an in-person lecture and is not virtual. 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.

SUMMARY:Ancient Egypt In Its African Context and at a Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:Shomarka Keita\, a biological anthropologist affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution and the Institute for Historical Biology\, William and Mary\, has written extensively on identity and biology in Egypt and Nubia. Egypt is in the northeastern corner of Africa\, in essence a 930 mi linear oasis in the eastern Sahara. Due to the history of Egypt’s exploration and reception by the European gaze\, it has traditionally been regarded as ‘Western’ or ‘Near Eastern’\, divorced from its place of emergence and cultural connections with Africa. This lecture will address the origins of ancient Egyptian culture including aspects of its interconnections with Nubia. Evidence from linguistics\, biology and archaeology will be explored.

SUMMARY:The Second Style at Saqqara during the Late Old Kingdom and First Intermediate Period: Results of an Investigation and New Observations
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 15\n3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Anthro Classroom 345\nIn-person; no registration required \nSpeaker: Dr. Valentina Anselmi\, PhD\, UPenn \nTitle: The Second Style at Saqqara during the Late Old Kingdom and First Intermediate Period: Results of an Investigation and New Observations \nAbstract:\nIn the late Old Kingdom\, an unusual corpus of artistic production\, royal and non-royal\, appeared on the scene. Funerary statuary and reliefs from that time display atypical proportions when depicting aspects of the human form: limbs appear longer\, eyes and heads seem larger. Overall\, these changes\, which appear to distort traditional canons\, exude pervasive dynamism and expressiveness. In the past\, art historians and Egyptologists dismissed the phenomenon as “bad art” resulting from political decentralization and cultural decline. Then two scholars in particular\, Edna Russmann and Edward Brovarski\, reevaluated these artistic productions\, assessing them as voluntary innovations. Such manner of representation has been called the “Second Style.” The research for my dissertation set out to review the phenomenon in theoretical terms and determined its existence\, assessing and verifying known occurrences of the style in statuary and relief at Saqqara\, as well as surveying the archaeological context for unreported occurrences. The finds revealed an early onset of the style with diffused use of its idiosyncratic elements during the Fifth Dynasty\, which seemingly emerged in the royal workshops as early as the reign of Raneferef\, per Prakash’s previous assessment of the phenomenon in the royal realm. During the Sixth Dynasty\, the style found favor with the courtiers\, with its employment in private statuary reaching its peak during the reign of Pepy II. The Second Style then continued to exert its influence on the production of statuary and relief of the Middle and Upper Egyptian sites\, in particular during the First Intermediate Period and well into the early Middle Kingdom\, when the artistic representations of the upcoming Theban dynasty show some of the style characteristics. This lecture will cover the finds of my research\, which has further extended to investigating female representation during the same time period\, as well as the appearance of nude statues that is also associated with the Late Old Kingdom and the First Intermediate Period. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Valentina Anselmi is a recent PhD in the Graduate Program in Egyptology at the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Civilizations. Her dissertation\, An Investigation of the So-Called Second Style at Saqqara in the Later Old Kingdom and First Intermediate Period\, examines shifts in artistic conventions during a critical time in ancient Egyptian history. With an M.Phil. in Egyptology from Penn and a B.A. from the American University in Cairo\, she has also received the Felix J. Korsyn Prize in Egyptology. Her teaching experience includes courses on Art and Architecture in Ancient Egypt and Coptic. Her research and public engagement work include fieldwork at Abydos\, a recently published article on a Ka-statue at the Glencairn Museum\, and ongoing museum experience at the Penn Museum. Her work has also explored the use of 3D imagining to better understand the nature of Egyptian art. \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.

SUMMARY:How the Inkas built Sacsayhuaman\, Revisited
DESCRIPTION:About the lecture: \nThis lecture will discuss new ideas about how the Inkas constructed their megalithic walls\, such as those of Sacsayhuaman above Cusco in Peru. Although scholars know the technology the Inkas used to quarry\, transport\, and shape the stones that were used in their high-quality structures\, the exact process of how they maneuvered and fit the building blocks of their megalithic walls has long been elusive. Proposed solutions have remained speculative. Fieldwork in 2024 involving excavation and observation of unfinished terrace walls at the site of Sacsayhuaman in Cusco provided direct evidence for how blocks were put into place. \nAbout the speaker: \nA member of AIA Society 333\, Dennis Ogburn is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology and an affiliate of the Latin American Studies Program at UNC Charlotte. His research focuses on archaeology of the Andean region of South America\, where he specializes in the use of geochemical analysis\, ethnohistory\, and radiocarbon dating to study the expansion and maintenance of the Inka Empire. His interests include the development of political power in ancient empires\, the role of monumental architecture in state societies\, and Inka warfare. He is conducting a long-term investigation of sources of Inka building stones in the Cusco region of Peru and is part of a multinational team conducting excavations at Sacsayhuaman on the edge of Cusco.

SUMMARY:What is Industrial Archeology: Its Past and Future
DESCRIPTION:The field of industrial archeology (IA) is now about 70 years old and has passed through stages of life\, from an exuberant youth filled with discovery – the period when the Charles River Museum of Industry was founded – to its sedate present. Interest in the field seems to be waning\, judging from declining membership in IA groups\, and even the name of the field confuses people. Those of us who would like to see the field survive and flourish wonder how it can be re-energized\, in what direction should it go? \nThis presentation will explain what industrial archeology is. It will trace the history of the field\, from its beginnings in England in the 1950s and the founding of the U.S. Society for Industrial Archeology in 1971\, to the present\, and describe some of its contributions\, like the early surveys of historic textile mills. It will cover its connections to allied history and practice fields\, like history of technology and historic preservation. Sara Wermiel will conclude by presenting her ideas for what the field might focus on\, to have a purpose that can sustain it. \nSpeaker Bio:\nSara E. Wermiel is an independent scholar\, historic preservation consultant\, and teacher. Her research focuses on nineteenth century building technology\, construction history\, building types\, and industrialization. She currently teaches Preservation Planning in the Preservation Studies Program at Boston University.

SUMMARY:Poggio Civitate’s Etruscan Workshop: A Cross-Craft Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Nora Donoghue\, Gonzaga University visiting professor\, will present her research into Etruscan workshop crafting interrelationships at Poggio Civitate. \nAbstract:\nCraft production in the ancient world is frequently analyzed by specialists who concentrate on a specific material or class of artifact. This approach overlooks the strong probability that ancient production processes were interrelated through shared resources\, technological knowledge\, or common workspaces. In this talk\, Dr. Donoghue considers these cross-craft relations within a 7th-century BCE Etruscan workshop at the site of Poggio Civitate. This structure preserves a wide variety of evidence\, including artifacts related to glass\, ceramic\, and metal production\, alongside animal butchering\, bone carving\, and the assembly of composite objects like furniture. Focusing on production occurring within and around this structure\, the talk will demonstrate that labor within this workshop was highly specialized and was ultimately carried out by craftspeople who worked in multiple media or maintained collaborative relationships with craftspeople of other related crafts.

SUMMARY:More Than a Cosmetic Fix:  How Experimental Archaeology Can Address the Issue of Burial Goods in the Museum Setting.  Talk and Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, December 13\n2:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2\nIn-person; RSVP required for workshop: https://forms.gle/FTwpThdMhwV7gPhS6\nTalk and Hands-on Workshop\nHoliday Party to follow! \nSpeakers: Isabella Pilla and Dr. Jane Hill \nTitle: More Than a Cosmetic Fix: How Experimental Archaeology Can Address the Issue of Burial Goods in the Museum Setting. Talk and Workshop \nAbstract:\nThe Egyptian mummy as a cultural artifact has for more than a century been a focal point of interest within the Egyptological community and the museum-going public. In more recent years\, however\, the public has begun to raise concerns over the display of human bodies as museum objects. Is there another way to share with the public the richness of Egyptian funerary belief and tradition without invading the bodies of the individuals who were at the center of these practices? In this talk and workshop the authors will argue that by using the imaging\, scanning\, and 3-D printing technologies available to us today\, it is possible to both scientifically study Egyptian mummification practices and share those findings with the public while still respecting the humans who provide us that information. \nLecture attendees will be invited to create their own Predynastic Egyptian style cosmetic palette. All the necessary tools and materials will be provided\, but we ask that you RSVP (https://forms.gle/FTwpThdMhwV7gPhS6) for this event to be sure we have enough materials! \nSpeaker Bios:\nDr. Jane Hill\nDr. Jane Hill holds a doctorate in Egyptian Archaeology from the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. She also holds masters degrees in anthropology and art history/Egyptology from the University of Memphis. She has excavated and done epigraphic work on archaeological projects at the sites of Giza\, Abydos\, el-Amra\, Saqqara\, and Karnak Temple in Luxor Egypt. At el-Amra she discovered evidence of a Predynastic Egyptian town and cult center. In the U.S.\, Dr. Hill has excavated Native American sites of the Mississippian Period in the southeast region. Currently Dr. Hill teaches anthropology\, archaeology and Egyptian Archaeology at Rowan University where she serves as curator of the Museum of Anthropology at Rowan University (MARU). Her research interests include co-development of major elite cemeteries and urbanism in Upper Egypt’s formative period\, and the development of Egyptian administrative and writing systems. \nIsabella Pilla\nIsabella is an emerging museum professional and recent graduate from Rowan University\, where she earned a dual degree in Anthropology and Psychology. During her time as a research assistant at Rowan’s Museum of Anthropology\, she curated a project to explore the ancient Egyptian material culture and public engagement through archaeology. Her research focuses on the ethical concerns of ancient mummified displays and the application of experimental archaeological to research ancient artifacts in a non-invasive manner. Isabella currently works at Edelman Fossil Park and Museum where she continues to support educational programming and visitor engagement. \n******************\nRefreshments are served beginning at 2pm. The ARCE-PA Holiday Party will follow the workshop. You do not have to attend the workshop or party to attend the lecture. \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. \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.

They have been marginalized and excluded from the historical record\, because they were women\, not part of the colonial elite\, or of mixed racial heritage. This history brings them alive through extensive archival research and vibrant storytelling. \nThere is Suzanne Voilquin\, a practicing midwife in Cairo who was involved in left-wing popular politics in Paris and became the editor of one of the first feminist newspapers ever published (1832–34). The second traveler\, Thomas Ismayl Urbain\, was born in French Guyana\, where his mother was born a slave and his father was a French sea captain. “Jehan d’Ivray” is the pen name of the third traveler\, a teenage woman who married an Egyptian studying medicine in France\, and traveled with him to Egypt in 1879. She wrote more than twenty books\, including a retrospective look at Suzanne Voilquin and women in the Saint-Simonian movement\, bringing the story full circle to another generation. \nTheir stories brilliantly illustrate the paradoxes of nineteenth century colonialism in Egypt. Suzanne Voilquin grew up in the Parisian working class and sympathized deeply with Egyptians but initially exoticized the differences between Egypt and her home country\, while Urbain\, a literary pioneer in black pride\, nevertheless joined the French army and saw his role in the colonial occupation as a means of helping indigenous people. These characters transcend the neat binary of East and West and offer a rich\, nuanced window onto the experiences of French travelers in Egypt during the nineteenth century. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. John David Ragan has a PhD in history from New York University and degrees from the University of Paris IV-Sorbonne\, the University of Cincinnati\, and Binghamton University. He has traveled in fifty countries\, across Europe\, North Africa\, Latin America\, New Zealand\, Australia\, Southeast Asia and the Himalayas\, studying French in Paris\, Arabic in Cairo and Tunis\, German in Berlin\, and Spanish in Salamanca and Mexico City. He is a working member of Laborers Union Local 942\, Fairbanks\, Alaska\, and has published two books and numerous articles. \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:Early Peoples in the Plateau:  Nimíipuu Knowledge and Landscape Adaptation in the Bitterroot Mountains
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture by WSU grad Student Jordan Thompson on early Northwest culture.\nAbstract: Mountain environments and resources have played a significant role in Indigenous cultural and subsistence lifeways and knowledge systems yet remain underrepresented in landscape research. Recent archaeological evidence points to the Southern Columbia Plateau as an early entry point for the Peopling of the Americas. Understanding the landscape is essential to adaptation in new and changing environments\, and archaeological methods combined with Indigenous knowledge are uniquely positioned to investigate these human-environment relationships. Indigenous oral narratives\, correlated with geologic processes\, reveal a deep record of landscape knowledge that may offer insight into early migration\, environmental adaptation\, and landscape exploration. In this talk\, I will present on collaborative research which integrates geoarchaeology and ethnogeology to examine how land use\, mobility\, and placemaking shaped the establishment of seasonal subsistence cycle among the Nimíipuu (Nez Perce). Ethnogeology foregrounds Indigenous perspectives of place\, complementing archaeological investigation by contextualizing the cultural meanings of stone artifacts. This talk will focus on Nimíipuu subsistence in an understudied portion of the western Bitterroot Mountain uplands\, a segment of the Northern Rockies\, in the North Fork Clearwater River watershed of Idaho by examining toolstone sources\, their distribution across the landscape\, and how these features acquire meaning. By combining geoarchaeological and ethnogeological frameworks\, this talk explores how people come to know\, understand\, and connect to landscapes while developing a sense of place with reciprocal subsistence systems.
