SUMMARY:When Hieroglyphs Came Alive: Sacred Writing in the Temples of Roman Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, Oct. 10\n3:30 pm EST\nIn-person only at the Penn Museum\, Anthro Classroom 345\nFREE Lecture! No registration required \nSpeaker: Prof. Hazem Farrag\, Assistant Professor of Egyptology – Ain Shams University\, Cairo\, Egypt \nTitle: When Hieroglyphs Came Alive: Sacred Writing in the Temples of Roman Egypt \nAbstract:\nHow did hieroglyphic writing change in the temples of Roman Egypt? Why did temple walls become increasingly dense\, visual\, and symbolically rich? Focusing on temples such as Esna\, Dendera\, Edfu\, Kom Ombo\, and Philae\, this lecture explores how sacred writing developed into one of the most creative and intellectually sophisticated expressions of late Egyptian religion. Through inscriptions\, images\, and temple examples\, the talk examines how hieroglyphs acquired expanded visual and symbolic roles\, and how priests and temple scholars reshaped sacred knowledge under Roman rule. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Hazem Farrag is an Assistant Professor of Egyptology at Ain Shams University\, Cairo. His research explores Ancient Egyptian language\, literature\, temple inscriptions\, sacred semiotics\, and visual dimensions of hieroglyphic communication. He is also interested in museum interpretation\, heritage education\, and digital approaches to presenting ancient Egyptian culture. He currently serves on the Board of AVICOM–ICOM. \n******************\nFREE Lecture!\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.

SUMMARY:Arkansas ArcheOlympics
DESCRIPTION:The ArcheOlympics is an annual competition that brings together teams of archeology students\, Arkansas Archeological Society members\, middle school students\, and anyone else interested in archeology and having fun. The games consist of 3 events in which teams compete to show off their skills and knowledge in archeology-based games. The first is throwing a spear with an atlatl. This takes some skill\, so most teams get together and practice before the event. Archeoletes throw for both distance and accuracy during the competition. The second event is the trivia contest. This event changes slightly each year based on the gameshow format that we choose\, but archeoletes answer questions about archeology\, important archeological sites\, archeological ethics\, and other topics related to the theme. The third event is the Excavation to Curation Obstacle course. The course changes slightly each year\, but teams work together to make their way through the simulated stages of archeological research. Teams work together to earn the most points throughout the day to win the 3D printed trophy!

SUMMARY:Regions and Other Constructs in Pre-Hellenistic Western Anatolia
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Prof. Jana Mokrišová (Brown University) \nThe AIA’s 2026 Rodney S. Young Memorial Lecture  \nAbstract:\nWestern Anatolia was a multicultural space\, with much scholarly attention given to the interaction between Greeks and non-Greeks and maritime connectivity with the Greek world. A crucial reason for this is the tradition of post-Bronze Age migrations and the fact that by the Archaic period many coastal communities here were ‘Greek’\, explicitly claiming Greek identity as well as employing Greek institutions\, cult\, and language. This happened in Ionia and most of Aeolis\, while Karia and Lydia maintained a stronger connection to indigenous western Anatolian traditions. Surprisingly\, the way in which this process unfolded is still incompletely understood and often contested. \nDrawing on settlement patterns from the end of the Late Bronze Age to the Classical period\, this talk will shed light on the way in which archaeologists and historians have drawn cultural regional boundaries in western Anatolia. It will discuss their use as markers of connectivity and trace their development over time. It will then zoom onto the coastal and riverine corridors between Ephesos and Lydia to show that regionalization as a framework fails to account for cultural ambivalence that many communities there must have felt in their daily lives.

SUMMARY:Imperial Barge: Cleopatra the Goddess
DESCRIPTION:Charles Eliot Norton Memorial Lectureship \nSpeaker: Dr. Alison Futrell\, University of Arizona  \nAbstract:\nOne of the key motifs in popular representations of the last of the Ptolemies is Cleopatra’s Barge\, a nexus of seduction\, pleasure\, gratification. For the historical Cleopatra VII\, the barge was a political and religious platform for shaping positive interactions with diverse audiences in the ancient Mediterranean\, meant to stabilize and secure her realm and shape a vision for future authority\, with power strongly founded in the past. In Egypt\, Cleopatra reinforced connections with local powerbrokers and processed between ritual centers\, a dynamic divine ruler enacting key functions that ensured the practical and sacred continuity of her realm. Her famous Nile Cruise with Julius Caesar was a sacred pageant that featured her newly secured strength as queen\, goddess\, partner and chosen of the gods. Her notorious meeting with Antony on the barque of Isis was both a ritualized performance of royal leadership and the reassertion of dynastic claims\, the launch of a new Empire rising in the Eastern Mediterranean. \nZoom option – requires registration: https://tulane.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3pyUju-wQC634ulV7NY_Ag

SUMMARY:The History of Archaeology in Africa
DESCRIPTION:This talk by Dr. Tim Forssman (University of Mpumalanga) explores the development of archaeology on the African continent through four broad historical eras. It considers how colonialism\, independence\, changing intellectual traditions\, and African scholarship have shaped the questions archaeologists ask and the histories they produce\, before turning to a broader question: why does archaeology matter in contemporary Africa?

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Screening: Homer\, Hollywood\, and Historical Context
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussion of the Archaeology Hour talk by Eric Cline (George Washington University). \nTwo movies\, twenty-two years apart: Wolfgang Peterson’s Troy with Brad Pitt in 2004\, and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey with Matt Damon in 2026. Discussions swirling around both have centered on faithfulness to Homer’s original stories\, but what about the actual historical context and content? This lecture will briefly put these two movies\, which have brought Homer’s epics to the silver screen\, into historical context by discussing what we know (or think we know) about the end of the Late Bronze Age\, the identity of the Sea Peoples\, whether there was actually a Trojan Horse\, and other questions that are likely to have come up around the dinner table. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Lives Beneath the City: Archaeology at Indianapolis’ Greenlawn Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Construction of the Henry Street Bridge brought renewed attention to portions of Indianapolis’ historic Old and New Burying Grounds\, later known collectively as Greenlawn Cemetery.\nArchaeologists documented more than 1\,700 burial shafts within the project area\, revealing a complex landscape shaped by nineteenth-century burial\, earlier relocation efforts\, and more than a century of urban development. This talk explores how archaeology\, bioarchaeology\, historical research\, and community collaboration are helping reconstruct the cemetery’s history and the lives of the people buried there\, while guiding their respectful care and eventual reburial.

SUMMARY:Studying & Publishing Theban Tomb n°7: (A) Tomb of the Scribe Ramose at Deir el-Medina
DESCRIPTION:RE-SCHEDULED\nSaturday\, Sept. 26\n3:30 pm EST\nIn-person only at the Penn Museum\, Classroom L2\nNo registration required \nSpeaker: Prof. Marie-Lys Arnette\, Assistant Professor and Alexander Badawy Chair in Egyptian Art & Archaeology\, Dept. of Near Eastern Studies\, Johns Hopkins University \nTitle: Studying & Publishing Theban Tomb n°7: (A) Tomb of the Scribe Ramose at Deir el-Medina \nAbstract:\nRamose served first as “Scribe of the Place of Truth” and later as “Royal Scribe” at Deir el-Medina during the reign of Ramesses II. A prominent member of the community\, closely connected to the royal administration\, he was probably the wealthiest inhabitant the village ever knew. More than one hundred monuments associated with him have survived\, including statues\, stelae\, ostraca\, and other inscribed objects. Despite the importance of this individual\, his tombs (TT 7 and TT 212) have never been fully published\, probably because of their poor state of preservation. My current research project aims to produce the first comprehensive study and publication of both monuments. The project is accompanied by a conservation and restoration program for TT 7\, undertaken in preparation for its future opening to the public.\nThis paper focuses on TT 7. It will present the project’s main research questions and methodology\, before examining the tomb’s architecture and its remarkable decorative program. TT 7 stands out in several respects. Its paintings are of exceptional quality\, executed by one or more highly accomplished artists working within the refined artistic tradition that still characterized the early years of Ramesses II’s reign. The decoration also preserves otherwise unattested iconographic details and artistic techniques that are only rarely encountered elsewhere. The tomb’s decorative programme further testifies to the importance of the Sokar festival in the Theban region during the Ramesside period. Finally\, it contains religious texts of major significance\, including the earliest known version of the ritual text for the protection of the Neshemet bark.\nThe paper will also present the conservation and restoration strategy adopted for the monument\, discussing the methodological choices that have guided the intervention in view of its future accessibility to visitors. By combining archaeological research\, art historical analysis\, and the history of religions\, the project seeks to provide a new foundation for the study and long-term preservation of one of the most remarkable monuments of Ramesside Deir el-Medina. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Marie-Lys Arnette studied at the École du Louvre (History of Art and Museology) and at the University of Paris-Sorbonne (Egyptology). After completing her PhD\, she served as Director of Publications and then as Scientific Member at the Institut français d’archéologie orientale (Ifao\, Cairo). Before joining Johns Hopkins University\, she taught Egyptian art history\, archaeology\, and Middle Egyptian language at the École du Louvre (France)\, the University Lumière Lyon 2 (France)\, and the University of Fribourg (Switzerland). She is a member of the Archaeological Mission at the Precinct of the Goddess Mut in South Karnak (JHU/Liverpool University) and of the Mission for the Study and Restoration of Deir el-Medina (Ifao).\nHer research falls within the field of historical anthropology\, approached through cultural history\, with particular interests in perceptions of the body and emotions\, food practices\, funerary imagery\, and\, more recently\, ludic practices. Across diverse topics\, her work consistently combines Egyptian textual sources\, iconography\, and material culture within a long-term perspective. Her research is characterized by a sustained engagement with interdisciplinary approaches drawn from the humanities and social sciences\, a perspective that is also central to her teaching. \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.
