SUMMARY:“She is the Son of Bastet”: Gender in Papyrus Louvre 32308
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 lecture by Rachel Barnas\, UC Berkeley: \n“She is the Son of Bastet”: Gender in Papyrus Louvre 32308\nSunday\, January 25\, 2026\, 3 PM PST\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. https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE \nAbout the Lecture: \nMagic was a tool for dealing with a host of everyday problems in ancient Egypt\, from headaches and snakebites to bad luck and nightmares\, and employed a wide variety of strategies accordingly. Underlying many of these different strategies was a shared reliance on the power of analogy\, which was used to impose a desirable mythological template on immediate\, everyday reality. To accomplish this superposition\, tools\, problems\, and even the speaker or subject of a spell could all be assigned mythic identities\, ensuring that success was already predestined. \nWhat happened\, though\, when there was a mismatch between the divine identity needed and some aspect of the subject’s everyday self? This situation presents itself in the case of one amuletic papyrus\, Papyrus Louvre 32308\, in which a female patient is cast as multiple male deities. Such casting raises a number of questions: Was this gender conflict seen as a problem? How does the text navigate this apparent conflict? Why not just pick some female deities and avoid the problem altogether? Exploring the answers to these questions through close reading of the Louvre papyrus and comparison to similar spells can help us refine our notions of when the bounds of gender could or could not be pushed in ancient Egypt and why\, revealing just how much ancient magical texts can tell us about their users. \nAbout the Speaker: \nRachel Barnas is a PhD candidate in the Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures department at UC Berkeley. She received her B.A. in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures from Yale University in 2013 and her M.A. in Near & Middle Eastern Civilizations from the University of Toronto in 2020\, both with a focus in Egyptology. Her dissertation project examines patterns of literary and grammatical device usage in Ramesside non-funerary magical texts\, as a means of analyzing the relationship between how the ancient Egyptians used language and how they experienced and understood their world. She has also worked in both curation and epigraphy\, including as Terrace Research Associate at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and as a member of the IFAO team documenting the tomb of Padiamenope (TT33). \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:Boxes\, Banks\, Bags\, and Bones: Carrying and Storing Money in Ancient Rome
DESCRIPTION:About the lecture: \nHow did the Romans carry\, store\, and save their money? This talk surveys the archaeological evidence for the wallets\, purses\, bags\, boxes\, and chests in which the ancient Romans placed their coined money at home and on the go. From reused cooking pots to bronze arm purses and ceramic “piggybanks\,” we will explore what the methods and means of containing coined money reveal about Roman daily life\, religious practice\, and the social and cultural norms around the function of physical currency in the ancient world. \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Robyn Le Blanc\, Assistant Professor of Ancient Mediterranean Studies and Archaeology at UNC Greensboro\, specializes in the archaeology and coinage of the Roman provinces. Her current research explores how Roman colonies used their coinages to negotiate a local identity. She is also developing a project on Roman money boxes. In 2021-2022 Dr. Le Blanc was the Kershaw Lecturer in Near East Archaeology for the Archaeological Institute of America\, and she has recently given invited talks for the American Numismatic Society and the Oxford Numismatic Society. She has participated in excavations in Israel\, England\, and Montenegro\, and she is co-director of WIRE: Women in the Roman East (see more at wireproject.org).

SUMMARY:AIA Archaeology Hour January 2026: NAGPRA as a Path to Healing and Reciprocity
DESCRIPTION:Join the AIA for the first AIA Archaeology Hour talk of the new year as new AIA President Brian I. Daniels hosts Danyelle Means for “NAGPRA as a Path to Healing and Reciprocity.” \nThis presentation will be given at 8pm Eastern/7pm Central/6pm Mountain/5pm Pacific. \nHave you noticed empty exhibit cases at museums over the past two years as museums move to comply with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA)? \nMeans’ presentation reframes NAGPRA not as a legal obligation but as a vital opportunity for healing\, reciprocity\, and relationship-building between archaeologists\, museums\, and Indigenous communities. Drawing from Indigenous perspectives\, the talk explores how NAGPRA challenges institutions to move beyond compliance and toward practices rooted in respect\, sovereignty\, and shared stewardship. By centering Native voices and experiences\, this session invites the audience to consider how honoring ancestors and returning cultural items can transform the field into one of accountability\, trust\, and long-term collaboration. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Provenance Research in the Fight Against Looting
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 Zoom lecture by Sara Aly\, Griffith Institute: \n“Provenance Research in the Fight Against Looting”\nSunday\, February 22 2026\, 3 PM PST \nRegister in advance for this lecture:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/MvauTi1wT0OHniyDLJXJHw \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the lecture. \nThere are a few things you should know before you join the lecture: \n* Advance registration is required. When you click on the link to “Register in advance for this lecture” you will receive instructions by email on how and when to join\, along with a link on which you will click to join the meeting. Save the email\, as you will need the link it contains to join the meeting. Please register now. Please do not share the join link with anyone\, it is unique to your email address. Try to join at least 10 minutes before the meeting. When you do join the meeting\, be prepared to be put in the waiting room until the lecture starts at 3 pm. This is a security measure. \n* If you haven’t already installed Zoom\, you should download and install the Zoom program (app) well before you try to join the meeting. There IS an option to use your web browser to join the meeting instead of the Zoom program\, but the browser interface is limited and depends greatly on what browser and what operating system you’re using. \n* For tutorials on how to use Zoom\, go to https://learn-zoom.us/show-me. In particular\, “Joining a Zoom Meeting” should show you what you need to do to join our lecture. \n* All meeting attendees can communicate with everyone\, or with individual participants\, using the chat window\, which can be opened by clicking on the chat button and which you can probably find at the bottom middle of your Zoom viewing screen. 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: \nSince the days when the pharaohs ruled over Egypt\, funerary materials have been affected by the greed of people. An enormous amount of wealth was invested in preparations for the afterlife\, but often this richness represented by gold and precious minerals in the funerary equipment became the booty of many\, rather than the resting place for one. Unfortunately\, the scale of destruction due to the ongoing looting is greater today than ever and several illegally sourced artefacts from Egypt constantly appear on the art market. Authorities consistently work to detect these objects by tracing the activity of dealers and galleries\, but a lot still needs to be done. Source countries require tougher laws and international legislation needs to become stricter. Moreover\, the knowledge of specialists must be employed in a systematic way to assist in the rescue of these objects. Museum curators should implement due diligence\, learn about the art market\, and understand how to conduct provenance research. This practice helps with the identification of looted artefacts by analysing an object and comparing it with published examples of the same kind\, allowing its origins to be identified and some lost archaeological context to be recovered. \nAbout the Speaker: \nSara Aly’s research focuses on the circulation of illicitly sourced Egyptian artefacts on the art market\, following a collaboration that started 6 years ago with the Circulating Artefacts project at the British Museum. Her MA dissertation at the University of Manchester (2023) examined upper coffin fragments appearing on the art market. Since 2023\, she has been a member of the Franco-Egyptian Archaeological Mission of Western Thebes\, working at the Ramesseum\, where she analyses coffin and cartonnage fragments. From 2023 to 2025 she worked as an Art Market Expert at the British Museum helping to identify and recover missing items from the museum’s collection. Now based at the Griffith Institute\, Sara is studying the archival material of J.J. Clère related to his documentation of Egyptian objects in the possession of antiquities dealers and collectors between the 1930s and the 1980s. \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:Daniel Healey\, Provenance Researcher\, Worcester Art Museum: "Orphaned Antiquities & Cold Case Files: Investigating Provenance in the New Era of Museum Restitution"
DESCRIPTION:The Clarence and Anne Dillon Dunwalke Lecture \nProvenance refers to an artwork’s history of ownership\, from the time of its creation or archaeological discovery to the present. Provenance researchers track down a wide range of sources—scholarship\, auction catalogs\, financial records\, inventories\, correspondence\, photographs\, markings on artworks themselves\, and more—to reconstruct an object’s past and retrace its path to the museum. This work has been compared to that of an investigator\, and provenance researchers routinely described as “art detectives.” Over the past decade\, these metaphors have become increasingly relevant as law-enforcement agencies across the U.S. have arrested dealers\, seized antiquities from the nation’s leading museums\, and made hundreds of repatriations to countries around the world—all to great fanfare and press coverage. The collision between the worlds of law enforcement and museums has revolutionized the field of provenance research and redefined the standards of ethical and legal collecting in this country. As a former Antiquities Trafficking Analyst for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and now the Provenance Research Specialist at the Worcester Art Museum\, I will share stories from the frontlines of provenance research—stories of looting\, forgery\, and repatriation—that explain why museums need “art detectives” now more than ever.

SUMMARY:COZA/COSANO/COZANO: Socio-Economuc Interactions among Middle Republican Cities in Central Italy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for discussion of innovative new approaches to the study of ancient coins! Dr. Melissa Ludke will discuss her numismatic work at early Roman Cosa and beyond. Dr. Ludke serves as Numismatic Specialist at the the Cosa (Terme) Excavations. She has published several papers on numismatics and is working on a book about Cosa during the Middle Republic.\nThe Latin colony of Cosa has long experienced archaeological investigation and\, more recently\, re-analysis\, but Cosa’s earliest history remains elusive. However\, new numismatic evidence from Cosa is raising interesting questions. Who was minting these coins\, why do they appear at certain regional centers and nowhere else\, and do these small objects represent larger processes of network connectivity? Dr. Ludke addresses these questions and more\, using a geospatial network-based approach through QGIS\, and a Least-Cost Path analysis to track potential socio-economic interactions between Cosa and contemporaneous regional centers.

SUMMARY:U-2 Over Egypt: A Remote Survey of the Nile Delta using Cold War Aerial Photography
DESCRIPTION:The KY Society of the AIA and the University of Louisville Department of Anthropology present a free public lecture by Dr. Oren Siegel (University of Toronto). During the height of the Cold War\, the United States flew a series of reconnaissance missions using U-2 spy planes over Egypt. Film negatives from two flights that cover much of the Nile Valley and Nile Delta from 1959 have recently been declassified\, and the resulting imagery is both earlier and higher resolution than publicly available CORONA satellite imagery. This talk will discuss the ongoing work by the Brown-Toronto U2 Aerial Photography of Egypt Project to digitize this imagery from the National Archives and Records Administration and make these photographs publicly available to all interested researchers. Beyond this\, I will showcase the results of our ongoing remote survey of Beheira Governorate using U-2 imagery\, highlighting how this imagery gives us a unique window onto a landscape that has changed significantly over the last 5 decades. The talk will close by looking at how this compares to other satellite imagery and aerial photography and highlight the potential of this dataset for archaeological research.

SUMMARY:Egyptian Blue\, humanity’s first inorganic pigment
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture by Professor John McCloy\, Washington State University\, who will present results of an investigation into the materials science and processing parameters to fabricate Egyptian blue faience. \nRecently\, our group at Washington State University\, with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute\, recreated Egyptian blue to uncover the science behind its color\, ranging from gray or green to deep blue. We produced 12 versions of Egyptian blue and compared them with artifacts\, using advanced X-ray techniques\, spectroscopy\, and quantitative color measurements. We found Egyptian blue is a complex mixture of phases\, with hue controlled by particle size\, glass content\, and cuprorivaite–silica ratios. Even small changes in materials or heating could dramatically shift its color. \nThese findings reveal ancient craftspeople as skilled materials scientists. Beyond cultural insights and conservation\, Egyptian blue’s infrared glow continues to inspire modern technologies\, linking past creativity with future innovation.

SUMMARY:Piramesse – from the City of Wonders to Terra Incognita
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 21\n3:30 pm EST\nVirtual on ZOOM\nFREE lecture; RSVP required for Zoom link \nSpeaker: Dr. Henning Franzmeier\, Senior Research Associate\, The Cyprus Institute\, Nicosia \nTitle: Piramesse – from the City of Wonders to Terra Incognita \nAbstract:\nWhere today just a typical Egyptian village is located\, surrounded by fertile\, green fields\, 3300 years ago\, Ramesses II founded his capital Piramesse. In contrast to Akhenaton’s Akhetaton\, Piramesse was not founded at a virgin site but instead Ramesses II chose a site with a lot of tradition to which he could connect. During his long reign\, the city became the one of the largest settlements not only of Egypt but the whole koiné spanning the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia. Texts portray Piramesse as a place where food is abundant\, where temples and colossal statues were erected\, and where the king would receive the envoys bringing the silver tablet with the famous peace treaty with the Hittite Empire. A few years later\, the king received his Hittite wife after the god Seth had made winter become summer so that the long journey could be finished safely. Moreover\, it was a military headquarters and center of trade between Egypt and the outside world. When entering Egypt\, Piramesse was the first city the traveler would have seen\, serving as a showcase and a stage of pharaoh’s power. \nBut what does remain of the city and what can we say after nearly a century of excavations? And what happened so that the memory of Piramesse only survived via its mention in the bible as Ramses\, while the location remained disputed and was only identified by Mahmoud Hamza in 1930? \nThis lecture will tell the biography of Piramesse from its beginnings before Ramesses II through its heydays in the 19th Dynasty until its decline when it finally vanished almost completely from the surface after the end of the New Kingdom. Using the results of the excavations since 1928\, the major features of the city will be shown and finds will be used to illustrate the long and rich history of the city. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Henning Franzmeier has been working at Qantir-Piramesse for the past 20 years and directed the excavations since 2015. Over the past ten years\, he has taught at UCL Qatar in Doha\, the University of Innsbruck\, and the University of Bologna\, and also worked for the Humboldt-University in Berlin and The Cyprus Institute in Nicosia. In 2014\, he received his PhD from the Free University of Berlin with a thesis on the New Kingdom cemeteries at the Middle Egyptian site of Sedment – a reassessment of the 1920/21 excavations of William Matthew Flinders Petrie. His MA thesis at the University of Göttingen dealt with a well of Ramesses II at Samana near Qantir-Piramesse. His interests range from settlement archaeology to the history of Egyptology and the analysis of funerary assemblages. \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:Life\, Death\, and Disease: Insights form Petra’s Tombs and Cemeteries
DESCRIPTION:Kershaw Lectures in Near East Archaeology \nDr. Megan Perry\, “Life\, Death\, and Disease: Insights from Petra’s Tombs and Cemeteries” \nThursday\, February 26 at 5:00pm Eastern\nUMass Amherst\, Herter Hall 301\nFor Zoom attendance\, register here: https://umass-amherst.zoom.us/meeting/register/GD44nDLmTwKs_QZUh44AFw \nABSTRACT\nEnsconced within the sandstone hills of southern Jordan\, evidence from mortuary structures in the ancient Nabataean city of Petra tells powerful stories about life\, illness\, death\, and commemoration of its residents. This talk will focus on their experiences across the life course through bioarchaeological evidence of disease\, diet\, and immigration from the skeletal remains recovered from tombs within the city. In addition\, evidence of mortuary behaviors within these tombs will reveal the rich and varied forms of remembrance after their deaths. This integrated approach\, shifting away from Petra’s temples and monuments\, offers new perspectives on resilience\, identity\, and memory in a dynamic ancient city. \nSPEAKER BIO\nDr. Perry is a Professor of Biological Anthropology at East Carolina University. She teaches courses on human osteology\, death and disease in Classical antiquity\, and human diseases and ancient environments. Most of her research focuses on 1st century B.C. – 7th century A.D. Jordan\, but she supervises graduate students interested in numerous aspects of bioarchaeology. She has been working on archaeological projects in Jordan for 30 years and is a member of the Board of Trustees of the American Center of Research (ACOR) in Amman\, Jordan. She is currently Director of the Petra North Ridge Project\, which focuses on the excavation of 1st century A.D. tombs and 1st – 4th century domestic structures. \nThis year’s AIA National Lecture (Kershaw Lectures in Near East Archaeology) is co-sponsored by the AIA–Western Massachusetts Society and the UMass Amherst Department of Classics.

SUMMARY:Highland\, Lowland: Chlorite Landscapes of the Iranian Plateau in the Third Millennium BCE (Lecture by Breton Langendorfer)
DESCRIPTION:In 2001\, flooding near the city of Jiroft in southeastern Iran exposed a vast Bronze Age cemetery. Large quantities of vessels made from a dark soft stone known as chlorite or steatite began to appear on antiquities markets\, the majority of which were successfully repatriated by Iranian authorities. These events spurred new archaeological exploration in the Jiroft area\, leading to the discovery of a previously unknown urban polity located just south of the modern city in the valley of the Halil Rud river. The discovery also prompted scholars to recontextualize these distinct objects\, found across the Middle East in the later 3rd millennium BCE and formerly referred to by the appellation “Intercultural Style\,” as grave goods of the so-called Jiroft Civilization. This project explores the aesthetic values expressed within this class of artifacts\, using an example now held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a window into evocations of sensory experience\, funerary otherworlds\, and an extremely early tradition of landscape depiction I argue they present. \nThis Robert J. Braidwood Lecture is presented by Breton Langendorfer.

SUMMARY:Re-Encountering Egypt: Museums and the Human Experience in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 7\n3:30 pm EST\nIn-person only at the Penn Museum\, Classroom L2\nNo registration required\nSpecial Event: Annual Korsyn Lecture in honor of Felix J. Korsyn \nSpeaker: Prof. Rita Lucarelli\, Associate Professor of Egyptology\, Faculty Curator of Egyptology at the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology\, University of California Berkeley \nTitle: Re-Encountering Egypt: Museums and the Human Experience in the Age of AI \nAbstract:\nIn an age increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence\, where images\, texts\, and even ancient cultures can be generated instantly\, what role do museums still play in helping us understand the past? This lecture revisits Egypt as a case study to explore the enduring human value of museum experiences in a digital and AI-driven world. \nDrawing on examples from Egyptian collections and exhibitions\, the speaker’s own 3D and VR projects and student engagement with the ancient Egyptian collection of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology of UC Berkeley\, the talk examines how museums create forms of knowledge and emotional connection that cannot be reduced to data or algorithms alone. While AI offers powerful new tools for access\, reconstruction\, and interpretation\, it also raises important questions about authenticity\, presence\, and the meaning of cultural encounter. \nBy re-encountering Egypt through the physical\, sensory\, and social space of the museum\, this lecture argues that museums remain vital sites where history is not only learned\, but felt\, questioned\, and shared. \nSpeaker Bio:\nProf. Rita Lucarelli studied at the University of Naples “L’Orientale\,” Italy\, where she received her MA degree in Egyptology. She holds her Ph.D. from Leiden University\, the Netherlands. Her Ph.D. thesis was published as The Book of the Dead of Gatseshen: Ancient Egyptian Funerary Religion in the 10th Century BC. She worked as a Research Scholar and a Lecturer at the Department of Egyptology of Bonn University\, where she was part of the team of the “Book of the Dead Project”. She is currently an Associate Professor of Egyptology at UC Berkeley and Faculty Curator of Egyptology at the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology of the University of California\, Berkeley and Fellow of the Digital Humanities in Berkeley. Her specialty is the study of the ancient Egyptian magic and religion\, and the reception history of ancient Egypt\, in particular in Black Visual Arts and music. \nShe is presently working at a project aiming at realizing 3D models of ancient Egyptian coffins\, the “Book of the Dead in 3D” and a VR App\, “Return to the Tomb”\, which recreate the tomb space where an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus is brought back\, from the museum to the tomb. She is also completing a monograph on demonology in ancient Egypt entitled “Agents of punishment and protection: ancient Egyptian Demonology in the First Millenium BCE”. Rita Lucarelli is also involved in a teaching Higher Education in the San Quentin State Prison\, in California. \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.
