SUMMARY:Crafting and Trade: Stone Tool Production and Ancient Maya Economies
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture by Dr. Rachel Horowitz\, “Crafting and Trade: Stone Tool Production and Ancient Maya Economies “.\nAbstract: Today\, and in the past\, economic activities are important ways of making connections between people. 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.

DESCRIPTION:What: Dr. Rune Nyord is coming home to Emory!\nPlease join us to hear from a real Egyptologist! He will premiere a brand-new lecture based on his research since the publication of his latest book: Yearning for Immortality. This is a special presentation sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA). \nWho: Dr. Rune Nyord is Associate Professor of Ancient Egyptian Art and Archaeology at Emory University\, where he is also Chair of the Art History Department. He is a sought after lecturer around the world\, but his home is Emory University\, and we are the beneficiaries. \nWhy: Dr. Nord will be sharing a brand-new lecture with us! He just published a new book last year Yearning for Immortality: The European Invention of the Ancient Egyptian Afterlife. Since the book was published\, he has new research he is eager to share about the famous Egyptian “Book of the Dead\,” which was a guide to the afterlife for ancient Egyptians. \nWhen: Thursday\, April 16\, at 7:00pm\n(Be on time! Due to Emory’s security policy\, the venue doors will be locked at 7:15pm) \nWhere: Emory University\, White Hall\, Room 207\nAddress: 301 Dowman Dr\, Atlanta\, GA 30322\n( see event website for venue details: http://tiny.cc/NyordAIA ) \nHow: FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!\nRSVP at http://tiny.cc/nyordAIA\nTo guarantee a seat\, you must RSVP by Tuesday\, April 14.

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.

SUMMARY:The (Re)Making of the Acropolis from the 1830s to the Present
DESCRIPTION:Yannis Hamilakis\, “The (Re)Making of the Acropolis from the 1830s to the Present” \nSaturday\, April 18 at 11:00am EST\nSmith College\, Neilson Library Browsing Room (Room 102) \nSPEAKER BIO\nDr. Hamilakis is the Joukowsky Family Professor of Archaeology and Professor of Modern Greek Studies at Brown University. He is an archaeologist\, writer\, and exhibition curator\, and a Guggenheim Fellow (Class of 2025). His main research and teaching interests are the socio-politics of the past\, the body and bodily senses\, the archaeology of eating and drinking\, human-animal relationships\, the ontology and materiality of photography\, archaeology and nationalism\, archaeological ethnography\, the archaeology of contemporary migration\, and critical pedagogy in archaeology. His main geographical research focus has been Greece and the Aegean\, and although much of his fieldwork is to do with the prehistoric (Neolithic and Bronze Age) Aegean\, he is equally interested in the archaeology of the contemporary. In fact\, many of his projects are multi-temporal. Since 2010\, he has co-directed the Koutroulou Magoula Archaeology and Archaeological Ethnography Project in central Greece\, and since 2016 he has directed a field project on the archaeology of contemporary migration on Lesvos. \nThe 32nd Annual Phyllis Williams Lehmann Lecture is sponsored by the AIA–Western Massachusetts Society and Smith College.

SUMMARY:From the Nile to the New World: Pharaohs\, Founding Fathers\, and Egypt’s Influence on America’s Pursuit of Identity\, Liberty\, and Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 18\n3:30 pm EST\nIn-person only at the Penn Museum\, Anthro Classroom 345\nNo registration required \nSpeaker: Mena Melad\, Founder and Editor of Luxor Times \nTitle: From the Nile to the New World: Pharaohs\, Founding Fathers\, and Egypt’s Influence on America’s Pursuit of Identity\, Liberty\, and Legacy \nAbstract:\nOn the occasion of the United States’ semiquincentennial\, America 250\, this lecture explores the enduring presence of Egypt in the American imagination and its influence on the symbolic language of the American republic. \nFrom the founding era\, ancient Egypt occupied a notable place in the intellectual and cultural landscape of the early United States. Egyptian imagery and ideas associated with antiquity\, permanence\, and authority appeared in the symbolic vocabulary of the new nation. Over the past 250 years\, Egypt has continued to appear in American cultural expression in diverse and evolving forms. This lecture traces how Egypt has been interpreted\, integrated\, and reimagined throughout American history\, from the ideological world of the Founding Fathers to modern popular culture\, including film\, music\, and visual media. Egyptian themes and symbols have repeatedly appeared in American public space and collective memory. Even in the emotional narratives of immigrants arriving in the “New World\,” Egypt often stood visibly within the American landscape through monumental antiquities such as Cleopatra’s Needle in New York and the Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These ancient monuments became part of the American cultural environment\, linking the civilization of the Nile with the identity of a modern republic. The lecture concludes by shifting perspective to Egypt itself through the theme “Saving Nubia\, Saving Egypt: Through Egyptian Eyes.” It examines how Egyptians experienced and interpreted the international campaign to rescue the Nubian monuments during the construction of the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s. By exploring Egyptian media outlets\, public discourse\, and the socioeconomic and political atmosphere of the time\, the lecture highlights how this global heritage effort was perceived within Egypt and how it shaped modern understandings of heritage\, identity\, and international cooperation. \nThrough these interconnected themes\, the lecture reveals a long and complex dialogue between Egypt and the United States that spans symbolism\, cultural imagination\, archaeology\, and global heritage preservation. \nSpeaker Bio:\nMena Melad is an historian\, Egyptology researcher\, and cultural heritage communicator whose work bridges academic research\, journalism\, and public history. Melad is the founder and editor of Luxor Times Magazine\, an international publication dedicated to archaeology\, Egyptology\, and cultural heritage in Egypt. \nMelad has worked extensively in the field of public Egyptology and heritage interpretation. He served as a historical consultant for the preservation and restoration of Howard Carter’s House in Luxor\, a project led by ARCE as a part of the centennial commemoration of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922. He has also curated exhibitions and public programs exploring the history of archaeology\, Egyptomania\, and the global reception of ancient Egyptian culture. Through Luxor Times\, Melad established a digital partnership with Google Arts & Culture to present Egyptian archaeological discoveries\, historical archives\, and cultural heritage stories to global audiences through online exhibitions and digital storytelling. \nMelad’s research interests include Egyptian media archives as historical sources for Egyptology\, the politics of archaeological discovery\, heritage interpretation\, and the influence of ancient Egypt on global cultural identity. Through his work\, he continues to promote dialogue between scholars\, institutions\, and the wider public about Egypt’s past and its global cultural legacy. \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.

SUMMARY:Western Horizons: Phoenician Colonization in the Iron Age Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:In the tenth century BCE\, the Phoenicians — Iron Age Canaanites of the coastal Levant — sailed west to the Iberian peninsula and through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Atlantic Ocean. They subsequently established colonies in Spain\, Portugal\, Sardinia\, Sicily\, and North Africa. In this talk\, we will look at the evidence for when and how this happened\, and also ask why. What was the situation back home in the Levant that triggered this remarkable venture? And what impact did western exploration and colonization have on the Phoenicians in their homeland\, as well as on the places where they settled. Presented by Dr. David Schloen.

SUMMARY:Ecology\, Mimesis\, and Humor: Shining A Different Light on Ancient Egyptian Frog Lamps
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit: \nLamp decorated with frog legs and wheat ears\, baked clay – Museo Egizio Turin P 2126\n(Courtesy Wikimedia Commons) \n——————— \nThe 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 Clara McCafferty Wright\, Cornell University: \nEcology\, Mimesis\, and Humor: Shining A Different Light on Ancient Egyptian Frog Lamps \nSunday\, April 19\, 2026\, 3 PM PDT\nRoom 223 Dwinelle Hall\, UC Berkeley\nThis is an in-person lecture\, not virtual. The talk will not be recorded. \nAbout the Lecture: \nIn the Greco-Roman period\, a rather curious form of oil lamp emerged—the Egyptian frog\nlamp. Much of the scholarship about “frog lamps” focuses on potential religious symbolism\nin Egyptian associations with frog deities\, and how frogs as symbols might have functioned\nin early Christianity in Roman Egypt. In this presentation\, I do not attempt to refute these\nlines of research\, but rather to propose a different perspective\, informed by Egypt’s\necology and by other examples of mimesis in Greco-Roman Egyptian antiquity. From these\ncomparisons\, I investigate how we might move beyond sacralizing approaches to more\nwholistically understand the function frog lamps had in Greco-Roman Egypt. This talk\nexplores the many ways in which frog lamps mimic the real frogs and toads of Egypt.\nAdditionally\, by comparing the effect of Egyptian frog lamps to other mimetic\, humorous\nartifacts from the ancient world\, I argue that there is room for interpreting frog lamps as\nobjects of visual humor—not merely humble light sources or objects of religious\nsignificance. \nAbout the Speaker: \nClara McCafferty Wright is a graduate student at Cornell University in Classical Archaeology and Art. Her primary research foci include Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt\, and Greco-Roman reception of Egypt. She recently completed an MPhil degree in Egyptology at the University of Cambridge with a dissertation entitled\, “Reconsidering Cleopatra VII: The Lost Narrative of Egypt’s Last Queen.” Clara earned her A.B. at Bryn Mawr College in 2019\, where she double majored in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology & Classical Cultures and Societies. At Bryn Mawr\, she was a Hanna Holborn Gray Research Fellow and authored a thesis on Cleopatra VII’s political influence on the Isis cult in Italy. During her undergraduate degree\, she also studied in the Egyptology programs at the University of Pennsylvania and the American University in Cairo. In addition\, she established The Bryn Mawr College Magic Lantern Slide Digitization Project. Clara currently serves as the Public Outreach Officer of The American Research Center in Egypt—Missouri Chapter\, and a team member of the Egyptology State of the Field Survey Project. Clara is passionate about diversifying our understanding of the ancient world to one which includes the narratives of disenfranchised members of societies\, including women\, enslaved people\, and the working class. She has a strong interest in using the study of the past to empower people today by making information on the ancient world accessible to rural and underprivileged communities. \n——————— \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:Expanding the Ancient World K-12 Educator Workshop | Digital Approaches to Global Art History: The Example of the Human Figure
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will take place online; a Zoom link will be provided via email to registered participants. \nRegistration is required at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdnphF1cS7-JSnFxoe7HAAelGJ4ufS2P1l8CEY8LC1NOgQQ4A/viewform \nExpanding the Ancient World is a series of professional development workshops and online resources for teachers. Keyed to the NYC Department of Education Social Studies Scope and Sequence\, this program is designed to offer K-12 educators opportunities to develop their knowledge of the ancient world and to provide classroom-ready strategies for teaching the past with reliable sources. Featuring inquiry-based workshops\, flexible lesson plans\, and up-to-date research\, Expanding the Ancient World aims to equip teachers with information and skills that they can share with their students. CTLE credits will be offered to New York State teachers. \nThis workshop uses the prompt of a newly started digital project to consider how large scale narratives and individual objects can be integrated into curriculums and into classroom experiences. The project is Global Approaches to Early Representations of the Human Figure\, currently browseable at https://gaerhf.org. GAERHF – as it’s known – starts with the broad premise that we as a species – as a group – have been looking at ourselves for a long time and have been making images of ourselves for a long time. The phenomenon is pervasive enough so that representing it in digital form and encouraging exploration via a website supports an art history that allows for many narratives to be present at the same time. Many cultures made images of the human figure. Sometimes those cultures were in dialog with others\, thereby creating narratives of mutual influence. But that is not always the case. Regardless of degrees of contact\, GAERHF can be a tool for recognizing complexity and sophistication in many pre-modern societies. Its scope is approximately 50\,000 BCE to 1500 CE and it includes figures from anywhere they are made and in any medium. Within this large-scale context\, individual objects are represented in such a way that users – educators or students – can define and explore flexible ranges of time and space as they consider how to frame the global approach inherent in GAERHF. \nThe workshop will start with an introduction to GAERHF. This will include an introduction to the digital technologies underlying the site but the focus will be on the content and the interactions it supports. Breakout groups will be given prompts as to possible uses of GAERHF in the classroom and for assignments. Because GAERHF is a very new project\, these prompts will be practical but it is also hoped that the educators present will provide feedback that will inform the future development of this resource. \nWorkshop led by Sebastian Heath (Clinical Associate Professor of Computational Humanities and Roman Archaeology\, ISAW). \nParticipants will receive 1.5 CTLE hours. \nIf you have any questions regarding the Expanding the Ancient World program please email ETAW@nyu.edu. \nPlease check isaw.nyu.edu for event updates. \nISAW is committed to providing a positive and educational experience for all guests and participants who attend our public programming. We ask that all attendees follow the guidelines listed in our community standards policy.

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Screening: Ecology and Slavery in St. Croix
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussion of the Archaeology Hour talk by Justin Dunnavant (UCLA). \nThe development of plantation slavery radically transformed societies and environments in the Americas. In this talk\, Dunnavant will delve into the colonial practice of coral mining and its environmental impacts in the Danish West Indies. Drawing from archaeological\, historical\, and environmental data\, Dunnavant reveals how the use of coral as the dominant construction material for colonial buildings left a lasting legacy on the landscape and seascape that is still evident today on the island of St. Croix. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Social Justice and Archaeology at the Bade Museum
DESCRIPTION:Since the recent global pandemic\, the Bade Museum has hosted a variety of online talks focused on the ancient Mediterranean and Middle Eastern world on a variety of themes related to modern social justice issues. Together with various partner institutions\, but always the Archaeological Research Facility at UC Berkeley\, staff has hosted over five and a half years of scholarly talks\, all of which are posted on our YouTube channel\, https://www.youtube.com/@bademuseum. While limited few can watch the talks through live streaming\, most views come later after each zoom video is uploaded to the web. In less than 6 years\, these videos have well over 50\,000 views\, a number that cannot be replicated in person. While topics like new approaches to ancient Nubia\, unsilencing the archives\, women and gender in the ancient world\, Phoenician women and gender in the homeland and diaspora\, and Disability in the ancient Middle East and Mediterranean might seem anachronistic; junior scholars and scholars on the margins of their fields have shown that they can study and publish work on antiquity relevant to modern issues while they themselves are breaking barriers in presenting their work to a globalized audience.\nA lecture by Dr. Aaron Brody\, Robert and Kathryn Riddell Professor of Bible and Archaeology and Director of the Badè Museum of Biblical Archaeology. We will begin at Berkeley time\, 5:10pm\, at the Badè Museum of Biblical Archaeology – 1798 Scenic Ave\, Berkeley\, CA.
