SUMMARY:Archaeology Day of the Dead
DESCRIPTION:The activities in this event will consist of the following: \n1. Archaeological Outreach at the Zoo\nThe Fresno Chaffee Zoo will host a major celebration for Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) on Sunday\, November 1st\, and has invited the Society to participate. Recognizing the high attendance anticipated for this event\, the Society will host an educational table staffed by our board members. This presence will allow us to engage with the public\, promote the importance of archaeology and anthropological studies\, distribute educational materials\, and recruit new members. Archaeology aligns perfectly with the thematic essence of Día de los Muertos; it serves as a profound reminder that death is not a final erasure\, but rather an entry point for studying the vibrant cultures\, civilizations\, and enduring lessons left behind by past generations. \n2. Guided Tour of the Kingdoms of Asia Exhibit\nThe Society will host an in-person\, guided tour of the Fresno Chaffee Zoo’s newly opened Kingdoms of Asia exhibit. This immersive installation features monumental replicas of ancient Khmer architectural marvels and sacred sites\, including the Bayon Temple\, Ta Prohm Temple\, and Kbal Sapean. The original 13th-century Cambodian temples are globally renowned\, highly studied by archaeologists and art historians\, and have served as iconic filming locations for several Western movies. This specialized tour will delve deeply into the historical significance of these structures\, decoding their rich symbolic elements and explaining their roles in ancient Southeast Asian cultures.

SUMMARY:The Ancient Library as a Museum
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mamoli Mysrini presents recent work on the Pantainos Library at Athens\, Greece.\nHer recent research is on the architectural form of ancient libraries in general\, and most recently she has been working specifically on the publication of the Library of Pantainos at the Agora in Athens. Her talk will have both a focus on the archaeological remains of the Library of Pantainos but will also tackle the broader topic of the ancient library\, the “Μουσείον” as an integrated cultural center with both manuscripts and works of art\, as it was in Alexandria\, Pergamon\, Rome (Temple of Peace)\, Athens (Hadrian’s Library)\, and Side (Gymnasion/ Structure M).

SUMMARY:Vigna Randanini: The Jewish Catacombs of Rome
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Jessica Dello Russo for an engaging exploration of the Jewish catacombs of ancient Rome and the discoveries that are transforming our understanding of Jewish life and burial practices in antiquity. A specialist in Roman topography\, funerary archaeology\, and the history of archaeology\, Dr. Dello Russo has developed and curated major scholarly initiatives\, including the DAPICS image archive\, the BiblioSelect research indices\, the Luminaria blog\, and the ongoing digitization of the archives of ICS founder Estelle Shohet Brettman. \nDr. Dello Russo’s archaeological and archival research has yielded significant discoveries\, including pieces of the renowned “Sarcophagus of the Menorah” from the Jewish Catacombs of Vigna Randanini\, the rediscovery of the long-inaccessible Jewish catacomb of Vigna Cimarra\, and previously unpublished documentation from the earliest excavations of Rome’s Jewish catacombs. These findings have shed new light on the history and preservation of these extraordinary underground cemeteries. Drawing on her doctoral research\, Dr. Dello Russo will discuss the history\, archaeology\, and enduring significance of Rome’s Jewish catacombs\, offering fresh insights into one of the oldest Jewish communities in the Diaspora and the remarkable subterranean monuments that preserve its legacy.

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.

SUMMARY:Spooky Archaeology: Myth and the Science of the Past
DESCRIPTION:The first presentation in the AIA Dayton 2026-27 Lecture Series presented by Dr. Jeb Card\, Associate Teaching Professor in Anthropology at Miami University\, Oxford\, Ohio sponsored by an AIA R.S. Webster Lectureship grant. \nOutside of scientific journals\, archaeologists are depicted as searching for lost cities and mystical artifacts in news reports\, television\, video games\, and movies like Indiana Jones or The Mummy. This fantastical image has little to do with day-to-day science\, yet it is deeply connected to why people are fascinated by the ancient past. People today continue to find the mystical and archaeology and have a fascination with exotic artifacts and eerie practices. Exploring the development of archaeology helps us understand what archaeology is and why it matters. In this presentation by Jeb J. Card\, the audience will follow a trail of clues left by adventurers and professional archaeologists through haunted museums\, mysterious hieroglyphic inscriptions\, fragments of a lost continent that never existed\, and deep into an investigation of magic and murder. \nThis lecture is scheduled to take place in person in the Science Center Auditorium (SC 114) at The University of Dayton. \nFor a campus map with building and parking information visit https://udayton.edu/map/ \nThanks to the Archaeological Institute of America’s Lecture Program and our Dayton Society members this lecture is free and open to the public.

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: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:Milo Rossi: Offline and In Person (Omaha\, NE)
DESCRIPTION:Internet sensation Milo Rossi — better known to his 3+ million followers as “miniminuteman” — is coming to Omaha for an unforgettable evening of science\, skepticism\, and side-splitting commentary. This isn’t your typical archaeology lecture. \nWith more than a billion views\, the self-proclaimed “Googledebunker” has become one of the most trusted voices in debunking archaeological misinformation and making science accessible to everyone. In this engaging talk\, he’ll dive into the real dangers of pseudoscience and pseudo-archaeology\, and discuss why science communication matters now more than ever. \nWhether you’re a longtime fan or new to Milo’s work\, expect his signature blend of humor\, insight\, and passion for truth as he tackles some of today’s biggest challenges in scientific literacy. Come ready to think critically\, laugh a little\, and leave with a fresh perspective on how we can all be better stewards of knowledge and the world around us.

SUMMARY:Revelation & Archaeology at Sardis
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exploration of the archaeological history of an ancient capital that became a historic Christian city. \nSardis\, a UNESCO World Heritage site\, is known from the Bible as one of the seven cities of Revelation. But before that\, it was the capital of Lydia\, a legendary ancient empire where coinage was first invented. Excavations at this ancient Turkish city have revealed major changes in pagan sanctuaries during the fourth and fifth centuries AD—a period shaped by the recognition and spread of Christianity in the eastern Roman Empire. \nFor the last 18 years\, University of Wisconsin– Madison professor Nick Cahill has directed the excavations at Sardis. In this lecture\, he will reflect on what he has learned through decades of fieldwork.

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. Free event parking is available with registration. Register by October 20 to receive parking registration instructions. Presented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science and Culture.

SUMMARY:Jacob Lauinger - The Assyrian Siege of Jerusalem: History as Metaphor and Simile
DESCRIPTION:Jacob Lauinger\, Johns Hopkins University\nGilman Hall room 50\nThe Assyrian Siege of Jerusalem: History as Metaphor and Simile\nIn 701 BCE\, the Assyrian army besieged the city of Jerusalem. Different narratives describing this siege are preserved both in the Hebrew Bible and also in the Assyrian king Sennacherib’s own royal annals. In this lecture\, we will look at the Judahite and Assyrian accounts of the siege\, focusing on their differences. Comparing the two accounts\, we will ask not just if we can determine “what actually happened\,” but also why the ancient scribes on either side of the conflict narrated their histories of this same event in these different ways.

SUMMARY:“Sex in the Roman Arena”
DESCRIPTION:A lecture in celebration of International Archaeology Day by Alison Futrell\, Professor of History at the University of Arizona. Futrell’s research is guided by her interest in the performance and imagery of power in the Roman Empire\, with particular focus on spectacle and gender. She is also fascinated by representations of the ancient Mediterranean in modern popular culture. Her talk tackles the sexualized nuances of the arena\, touching on the relative masculinity of gladiators as a group\, within Roman society\, as well as the how the different styles of combat demonstrated different levels of virility. And what about female performers? How did spectacularization of sex enhance demonstrations of moral and political authority by imperial sponsors? Women in the arena attracted the audience’s focus and disrupted messages of imperial power and challenged audience assumptions about strength\, about blood\, and about humanity.
