SUMMARY:The Materiality of Blue:
DESCRIPTION:Natural blue pigments in the ancient world are uncommon\, usually sourced from far away and difficult to process. Reviewing these shady characters\, like lazurite and azurite\, will shed light on ancient artisanal capabilities\, technical knowledge\, and even trade connections that reveal the extent to which ancient people would travel and experiment in order to find blue. The development in the late 4th millennium B.C. of a synthetic blue pigment\, Egyptian blue\, made it possible not only to paint in blue but even to use this material in ways beyond its primary state as a pigment. Experimental archaeology paired with ancient texts and archaeology\, making it possible to understand the stages by which these materials were made makes it possible to understand with heightened appreciation the technical innovation of antiquity.

SUMMARY:2026 Oklahoma Archaeology Month Lecture with Dr. Severin Fowles
DESCRIPTION:THE SOUTHERN ATHABASKANS: SEVEN CENTURIES OF INNOVATION FROM OKLAHOMA TO ARIZONA\nWhat archaeologists refer to as the Southern Athapaskan cultural tradition spread across the American Southwest during the second millennium CE as a dispersed network of social formations in creative dialogue\, first\, with the rise of large Ancestral Pueblo centers and\, later\, with the arrival of Spanish and American colonists. The tradition is often defined in linguistic terms\, though both the timing and significance of the arrival of the Athapaskan language in the region is debated. Others foreground the tradition’s structural position with a wider Southwest political economy-as one half of a strategic\, mutualistic\, and at times competitive relationship between aggregated farming villages and the more mobile groups of hunters that encircled them. In this presentation\, he argues that image production-particularly in the well-preserved medium of rock art-is emerging as a key line of evidence\, poised to significantly refine our understanding of the Southern Athapaskan tradition as a fast-changing regional phenomenon. His argument centers rock art evidence from the Rio Grande Valley but aims to also characterize wider patterns across the Pueblo region and Southern Plains.

SUMMARY:Discovering Byzantine Corinth and Its People
DESCRIPTION:Discovering Byzantine Corinth and Its People \nJoin AIA-Nashville Society for a free virtual talk on Sunday\, October 18\, at 11 AM Central. This Virtual Symposium is free and open to the public. It will be recorded. Register on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_EZz5ABV4RJu6psOXovgnZQ#/registration \nABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM:\nAncient Corinth is renowned as one of Greece’s most iconic archaeological sites\, famous above all for its Classical and Roman past. Yet the city remained an important urban center for centuries afterward\, evolving throughout the Byzantine period (4th-13th centuries CE). Drawing on recent archaeological research and excavations\, this talk examines how material culture\, including pottery\, stone vessels\, tools\, and evidence of craft production and long-distance exchange\, illuminates the lives of Byzantine Corinthians. These objects reveal a dynamic community that continued to produce\, trade\, and adapt to changing political\, economic\, and social realities long after the city’s famous Classical and Roman monuments were built. Looking beyond those monuments reveals a rich and often overlooked medieval chapter in the history of one of Greece’s most celebrated archaeological sites and demonstrates why Byzantine Corinth deserves a place in the broader story of Greek history. This lecture is sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA)- Nashville Society. \nRegister: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_EZz5ABV4RJu6psOXovgnZQ#/registration \nABOUT THE SPEAKER:\nDr. Rossana Valente is a Byzantine archaeologist whose research focuses on households and the technological\, social\, and cultural practices of medieval societies\, with particular attention to material culture. She specializes in the study of ceramics and other archaeological artifacts to explore production\, economic patterns\, and connectivity across the Byzantine Mediterranean. Since 2012\, she has worked at Ancient Corinth\, where she has directed excavations of Late Roman\, Byzantine\, and Frankish domestic and artisanal complexes. She is also involved in archaeological projects across Greece\, including research on Byzantine Sparta\, the religious complexes at Hephaestia on the island of Lemnos\, and the rural landscapes of Naxos and western Megaris. \nSYMPOSIUM SPONSORS:\nArchaeological Institute of America- Nashville Society \nADDITIONAL SYMPOSIUM SPONSORS:\nThe Parthenon\, part of Metro Parks & Recreation\, would like to thank the following organizations that provide underwriting support for its exhibition and educational programming\, including Symposia\, through grants and corporate partnerships with Centennial Park Conservancy: Amazon\, the Sandra Schatten Foundation\, HCA Healthcare Foundation\, Tennessee Arts Commission\, Hays Foundation\, and Advance Financial Foundation

SUMMARY:Life of a Medieval Village: The Town of Nebo in the Byzantine and Early Islamic Periods.
DESCRIPTION:From the 5th through the 8th centuries\, the Nebo region became the home of numerous religious and secular communities. The region was dotted with both ascetic and communal monasteries that were interspersed with larger urban centres and smaller rural villages. By focusing on the results of the 2026 field season of the Town of Nebo Archaeological Project\, this lecture will explore how these different communities may have interacted with and benefitted from each other. \nSpeaker: Debra Foran (Wilfred Laurier University) – specialist in the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods in the southern Levant

SUMMARY:The Many Lives of Theban Tomb 16
DESCRIPTION:The ancient Egyptian tomb known as Theban Tomb 16 dates to the reign of Ramesses II in the Nineteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom (around 1250 BCE). Originally\, it served as the burial place of a priest named Panehsy and his wife\, Tarenu\, a chantress. Long after their lifetimes\, the tomb remained an important resting place and was reused for more than a thousand years by members of the Theban elite. By the late-nineteenth or early-twentieth twentieth century\, the tomb had been looted\, and it suffered further plundering in the 1970s. Since 2008\, however\, a team from the University of Memphis has been working to document and conserve both the tomb and its many secondary burials. In this program\, Egyptologist Suzanne Onstine will present the latest research on the tomb’s beautifully painted plaster scenes\, exploring what they reveal about life in ancient Egypt as well as funerary culture during the first millennium BCE. \nFree admission.

SUMMARY:Luxury from the Provinces: Reading Morality on the Walls of a Roman Villa
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our second event of the Fall 2026 cycle. Event description from the author:\nRoman writers often condemned luxury in domestic art. Drawing on repairs to the decor of Villa A at Oplontis\, one of the grandest complexes on the Bay of Naples\, Dr. Andrew Crocker explores how older\, austere styles and inexpensive local pigments could become a deliberate performance of Roman humility and virtue. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Andrew Crocker is Assistant Professor of Art History in the Department of Art History and Museum Studies at Florida Southern College. His research focuses on the social and political significance of Roman art\, especially the role of art in negotiating identity and status in the Roman provinces.

SUMMARY:Medicalized technologies: ingredient patterns in ancient Egyptian therapeutic recipes as informants on food processing diversity
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, and the UC Berkeley Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures (MELC) invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Jonathan (Jonny) Russell\, Brown University: \n“Medicalized technologies: ingredient patterns in ancient Egyptian therapeutic recipes as informants on food processing diversity” \nFriday October 23\, 2026\, 4 PM Pacific Daylight Time\nNote the time and day change!!!\nMELC Lounge/Rm 254 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\, UC Berkeley \nThis is a hybrid lecture\, both in-person and virtual (Zoom). The lecture will not be recorded.\nMELC is not requiring registration\, so to attend this lecture\, click on the following join link at the time of the lecture:\nhttps://berkeley.zoom.us/j/2071243853?pwd=1dq3SwaoPnJCLGwKQs1sbTLG4Nobd0.1 \nAbout the Lecture: \nMuch has been written on ancient Egyptian food processing technologies\, especially in the domains of brewing and baking (for which Samuel 2000 remains a valued survey). Certain aspects of these technologies\, such as the varieties of yeast cultures used\, remain somewhat elusive. Others\, such as milk processing\, have received little to no attention. These lacunae are\, in many cases\, the result of the kinds of source material commonly consulted to elucidate ancient processes – tomb depictions and archaeological remains being chief among them. Notably\, medical texts list a wealth of food or food-adjacent products as ingredients in medicinal recipes but have been less appreciated in understanding food processing. The many constellations of ingredients are\, after all\, notoriously challenging if not impossible to translate\, and modern analyses are often mired by a compulsion to identify pharmacological activity as the primary motivation for their initial selection. \nThis lecture takes a fresh look at these problems. It will first explore a sample of representative manuscripts\, such as Papyrus Hearst (in Berkeley!)\, Ebers\, and a demotic manuscript in Vienna: all of which are compilations of recipes\, or “recipe compendia”. It will then examine the social and ritual contexts of the recipes recorded in these manuscripts\, to better understand both by and for whom the recipes were used. Following a careful analysis of recipe data\, the new hypothesis that many entries can be considered “medicalized” receptions of known processing technologies will be presented and explored. Focusing on recipes that manipulate brewing and cheese processing as case studies\, the lecture will demonstrate how aspects of these processes are “fossilized” in various ways within medicalized recipes. In addition to offering new insights into healing practices\, the presented results suggest more significant variety in food processing than presently assumed. \nAbout the Speaker: \nSince 2024\, Jonathan (Jonny) Russell has been assistant professor of Egyptology at Brown University\, where he teaches classes in ancient Egyptian history\, Middle and Late Egyptian\, hieratic\, and demotic\, as well as in Egyptian and Mesopotamian medicine and magic. Armed with a knowledge of Akkadian\, his research explores the similarities and differences in contents and social contexts of healing manuscripts from Egypt and Mesopotamia\, and how observations modify impressions of knowledge transmission across ancient communities in Northeast Africa and Western Asia. He is presently working on a monograph titled Variety and Versatility in Ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian Specialist Healing: A Comparative Study\, in addition to a new English-language anthology of therapeutic compendia from Middle Kingdom to Roman Period Egypt. \nJonny submitted his PhD thesis to Leiden University (The Netherlands) in 2023 – a project which was funded by the Dutch Scientific Research Organisation (NWO) and titled: Towards a Historical Contextualisation of Ancient Egyptian Perspectives of the Inner Body\, Sickness\, and Healing. Before coming to Brown\, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for the History of Pharmacy and Medicine at the Philipps-Universität Marburg (Germany)\, where he began exploring the intersections between food and therapeutic technologies. \nVisitor Parking: \nKeep in mind that restricted parking at UC Berkeley ends at 5 p.m. For Friday\, October 23\, 2026\, here are the best visitor-parking options near UC Berkeley’s Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall): Lower Sproul Parking Garage\, 2465 Bancroft Way; RSF Garage\, 2299 Bancroft Way.

SUMMARY:Incidental Politics of Memory: State Nationalism\, Looting\, and the Intangible Severing of Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Discussions surrounding the destruction of cultural heritage predominantly focus on physical violence—the bombing of sites\, the looting of museums\, and the illicit trade of antiquities. While critical\, this focus often overlooks a quieter\, systemic form of loss: the intangible alienation of communities from their own pasts. Drawing on Michel-Rolph Trouillot’s framework of historical silencing and Yannis Hamilakis’s critiques of nationalist archaeology\, this talk re-evaluates heritage destruction as an epistemic and ideological process.

SUMMARY:The Living Legacy Of Amazonia's “Lost” Garden Cities: Three Decades of Collaborative Archaeology in the Xingu Indigenous Territory\, Brazil.
DESCRIPTION:This lecture gives an overview of collaborative archaeology and cultural heritage studies by the author and Brazilian colleagues with the Kuikuro Indigenous nation in the Território Indígena do Xingu (TIX) of the southern Brazilian Amazon. The project was Initiated in 1992\, born out of joint activities developed for the UN ecological summit in Rio de Janeiro\, and continues uninterrupted until today\, including several phases of collaborative work sponsored by UF. During this time\, three generations of Indigenous research participants have been trained in archaeological mapping and excavation\, remote-sensed data collection and mapping with precision GPS and\, more recently\, lidar and photogrammetry by colleagues at the Museu Goeldi in Brazil and in the USA. These joint discoveries revealed a genuinely Amazonian form of pre-European urbanism\, “garden cities\,” which represents an important example of high population densities and sophisticated forest and wetland management systems in the Amazon before 1492. Over the past five years\, lidar has revealed several similar cases of Indigenous urbanism and urbanized landscapes in the Amazon\, but the Xingu is unique in the degree to which contemporary descendant communities carry on the legacy of these ancient civilizations\, extending over two millennia in the TIX. Beyond these archaeological discoveries\, this presentation explores questions of collaboration\, knowledge sovereignty\, and self-determination of the Kuikuro and other Indigenous peoples across the Amazon.
