In this talk\, I consider a collection of 6th century BCE sculptures of maidens (korai) that were found on the Athenian Acropolis. As traditionally interpreted\, these statues all stood together as representations of the feminine ideal in Greek art\, but scholars tend to separate one maiden from her sisters because her body does not fit into modern definitions of beauty. By returning her to her rightful place in this collection\, I present a reassessment of Greek sculptural ideals and\, with it\, of our understandings of Greek art\, display\, and dedication in late 6th century BCE Athens.

Harl\, Professor Emeritus\, Department of History\, Tulane University \nBased on analysis of the coins themselves\, Professor Harl reconstructs how Greek cities in the Roman Empire manufactured and distributed bronzes coins. Not only do the coins reveal the stages of production by workers and the engraving of dies by artists\, but they also offer a means of calculating the output of money. The scale of production and organization of labor are both far more impressive than hitherto realized. The coins struck by mint of Marcianopolis (today Devnya\, Bulgaria) in the reign of the Emperor Macrinus (217-218) offer the test case for explaining how metal was turned into money.

No doubt influenced by Horace’s Satire 1.8 about the same region\, his portrayal\nof mass graves (puticuli) embedded within a vast field of municipal waste offered a thrilling\,\ndystopian vision that continues to resonate nearly 150 years later. Ancient Rome’s reputation has\nyet to recover\, as his report continues to shape perceptions of the metropolis as filthy and\nmismanaged.\nThis talk revises Lanciani’s portrayal of the Esquiline as a wasteland of rotting corpses and\ngarbage and offers a new interpretation of Horace’s Satire 1.8. I argue that Horace describes not\nmass graves on the hill but rather a modest cemetery where multiple graves shared the same plot\nof land that also received the city’s refuse. The misreading that these were instead puticuli\noriginated with his imperial scholiasts and persisted to directly influence Lanciani.\nArchaeological comparanda from across the Roman world demonstrate that individual\, modest\ngraves dug into suburban municipal dumps were a common and legitimate form of burial for the\nurban poor. This intersection between the city’s dumps and its dead provides new insight into\nRoman attitudes toward waste: although the disposal of refuse beyond the city walls transformed\nthe suburban landscape\, it did little to alter the cultural meaning of the extramural zone. People\ncontinued to use these areas much as they had before their appropriation for refuse\, including the\nsymbolically charged act of burying loved ones.

Cline \nEvent Website: http://tiny.cc/clineAIA \nSynopsis\nIn 1887\, a cache of nearly 400 clay tablets inscribed in cuneiform was discovered at Tell el-Amarna\, the capital city of the heretic Pharaoh Akhenaten. Dating to the fourteenth century BCE\, it is the only royal archive that has been discovered from New Kingdom Egypt so far. Within the archive are fifty letters exchanged with the other great powers of the day\, including the Hittites\, Babylonians\, and Assyrians. However\, there are also nearly three hundred letters sent by vassal Canaanite rulers\, such as Biridiya\, the king of Megiddo; Abdi-Heba\, the king of Jerusalem; and Rib-Hadda\, the king of Byblos. The letters offer a glimpse into the vibrant diplomatic world of the Late Bronze Age\, revealing royal marriages\, elaborate negotiations\, and exchanges of luxury gifts between the great kings\, as well as political maneuvering and appeals from the vassal kings of Canaan\, including Biridiya\, who sent six letters to the Egyptian pharaohs. They also\, however\, provide a window through which we can glimpse the competition among antiquities dealers and museums to acquire the tablets; the scholarly race between British and German teams to decipher them; and the colonial-era context in which they were unearthed. \nSpeaker’s Bio\nEric 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 thirty seasons of excavation and survey experience in Egypt\, Israel\, 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 twenty-three different languages. He is perhaps best known for “1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed”\, but also for “Digging Up Armageddon: The Search for the Lost City of Solomon”\, which tells the story of the 1925-1939 University of Chicago excavations at Megiddo\, a century after they first began.

His current research focuses on Sicily and explores the development of metallurgical knowledge and craft communities throughout the first half of the first millennium BCE. With a theoretical perspective underpinned by postcolonial studies and anthropological approaches to the study of craft production and community\, he investigates how metal tools and artisanal practices document the choices made by populations navigating changing social\, political\, and economic conditions. Alex is currently preparing a monograph based on his dissertation work\, entitled The Origins of Greek Sicily: Communities\, Metals\, and Colonization. Beyond the material culture of Sicily and the Greek world\, Alex is also interested in studying articulations of cultural identity within Archaic lyric poetry and Greek historiography. \nAlex received a PhD in Classical Art and Archaeology at the University of Michigan. Before that\, he completed an MA at the University of Georgia and a BA at Swarthmore College. Alex is an active field archaeologist who has conducted fieldwork with various projects in Greece\, Italy\, and Kosova. He is a long-time staff member of the American Excavations at Morgantina\, where he co-directs the Khora of Archaic Morgantina Project and supervises fieldwork for the Agora Valley Project. He is excited to talk with students interested in learning about archaeology and participating in archaeological field projects. \nThis year’s Ellen and Charles S. La Follette Lecture is sponsored by the Western Massachusetts Society of the AIA and the Mt. Holyoke College Department of Classics and Italian.

Specializing in Egyptology\, he is also the director of the Giza Project run by Harvard University. Among his recent work is Walking Among Pharaohs: George Reisner and The Dawn of Modern Egyptology\, which explores Reisner’s problematic legacy in Egyptological thought about Africa. \nThe lecture examines the life and work of America’s greatest Egyptian archaeologist\, George Reisner (1867-1942). His legacy of forty-three years of breathtakingly successful excavations at twenty-three different archaeological sites in Egypt and Sudan (ancient Nubia) included pyramids\, colossal statues\, gold jewelry\, decorated tomb chapels\, temples\, settlements\, fortresses\, ceramics\, furniture\, stone vessels\, and hieroglyphic inscriptions everywhere. Leading the Harvard University-Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition\, Reisner put American Egyptology on the world stage. The talk presents Reisner’s undeniable impact and considers his life within the context of Western colonialism\, racism\, and nationalism. It will also explore new visualization technologies\, particularly at the Giza Pyramids\, that Reisner’s work makes possible today. \nOnline only\, please register in the link below.

Though their work went largely uncredited\, they fulfilled vital roles as editors\, researchers\, and collaborators in the service of Rome’s literary and political elite.\nDuring this public lecture\, Prof. Flower (Princeton University) — Rome-SPQR Society Choice Lecturer – – will illustrate the stories of these gifted and highly educated young men\, from Licinius the flute-player\, who shaped the rhetorical style of the orator Gaius Gracchus\, to the grammarian and teacher Tyrannio of Amisus\, who was brought to Rome as a war captive.\nHighlighting the unique social prestige of literary production and intellectual performance in a society pervaded by slave labor\, Prof. Flower will show how the exorbitant prices paid for the highly educated encouraged a complex system of training young boys for the marketplace or acquiring educated captives as booty. Enslaved and manumitted intellectuals\, far from being menial workers\, shared close relationships with leading Romans of the day\, and were relied on as coauthors and collaborators in a range of genres\, with some gaining fame as authors themselves.\nWith lively case studies and insightful new interpretations of the ancient sources\, this lecture will paint a more nuanced picture of enslaved labor in ancient Rome\, revealing how the contributions of enslaved intellectuals were closely linked to the ambitious development of Latin literary culture and the dissemination of knowledge.

Doxey\, Norma Jean Calderwood Curator of Ancient Egyptian\, Nubian\, and Near Eastern Art\, Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston \nQueen Khensa was a Nubian royal and principal wife of King Piankhy\, the Kushite ruler (664–653 BCE) who conquered Egypt and established the Twenty-fifth Dynasty. She was buried in a pyramid tomb whose contents were largely plundered in antiquity. Even so\, her burial still contained a variety of intriguing objects\, from precious-metal vessels and fine jewelry to tools\, figurines\, and natural history specimens. The function of many of these items remains a mystery. In this talk\, Denise Doxey will present what survives of Khensa’s mortuary offerings and discuss new ideas about how these treasures may have functioned in royal Nubian funerary ritual and belief. \nAdvance registration recommended. \nFree parking is available at the 52 Oxford Street Garage starting at 5 pm. \nPresented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.

In the Maya area\, modern-day Mexico and northern Central America\, economies are less studied than other aspects of past Maya lifeways. In this talk\, I use recently collected data about stone tool production to provide information about the Classic period Maya economy (600-900 CE). This lecture will use a case-study of stone tool producers western Belize to explore the lives of Classic period Maya stone tool producers\, and how stone tools circulated throughout the economy.

For decades\, we’ve interpreted the “Book of the Dead” through a modern lens\, treating its illustrations like a travel brochure for the Great Beyond. This lecture flips the script. By looking at these images through the eyes of the people who used them\, we’ll uncover a new\, ritual-driven logic behind iconic scenes\, like Weighing of the Heart and the Field of Reeds. \nSpeaker’s Bio\nRune Nyord is Associate Professor of Ancient Egyptian Art and Archaeology at Emory University. Before joining Emory in 2018\, he held positions at the University of Copenhagen\, University of Cambridge (Christ’s College)\, and the Free University Berlin. His research focuses on conceptions and experiences of representation\, ontology\, and personhood in ancient Egypt\, especially as evidenced in Middle Kingdom (Middle Bronze Age\, early 2nd millennium BCE) 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.
