SUMMARY:Highly Educated Slaves and Freedmen in Republican Rome
DESCRIPTION:Slaves and freedmen played an important yet understudied role in the literary culture of the Roman Republic. 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.

SUMMARY:Cooking in the Bronze Age: What Ancient Pots Can Tell Us About Everyday Life in Crete
DESCRIPTION:A great variety of cooking pots are found in the archaeological record across geographical areas and time periods. Significant distinctions exist in vessel morphologies\, fabrics\, sizes and manufacturing techniques. To offer one explanation as to why these design differences exist\, I have utilized an experimental approach to building and testing pottery to illuminate the probable pathways ancient people took to prepare cooked food on the Aegean Island of Crete during the Bronze Age. As a case study\, I have applied a specific approach to domestic cooking assemblages that have been unearthed at the East Cretan coastal sites of Mochlos and at Papadiokambos\, where evidence for Late Minoan I (LM I) cooking technology is preserved. This presentation defines the LM I cooking wares from these sites and outlines the experimental exercises that helped provide a greater insight into the individual ways individuals might have used them to prepare food.

SUMMARY:Daniela Solis
DESCRIPTION:Free Hybrid Lecture\nThe Archaeology of Boston’s Revolutionary Past\nThursday\, April 9\, 6:00–7:00 pm ET\, Advance registration recommended for online and in-person attendance \nSpeaker: Joe Bagley\, City Archaeologist and Director of Archaeology\, Boston Archaeology Program \nJoin Boston City Archaeologist Joe Bagley for a presentation on archaeological research that is deepening our understanding of Boston’s role in the American Revolution. Bagley will share new findings on the impact of the Siege of Boston and the 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill—the first major battle of the war—on the people of Boston. Although named for Bunker Hill\, the highest hill in Charlestown\, north of Boston\, the battle actually took place on Breed’s Hill\, located closer to the Charles River. Bagley will outline plans to pinpoint the exact location of the Breed’s Hill redoubt and to search for more than 200 unmarked graves of fallen soldiers. He will also discuss forthcoming investigations of the “lost forts” of Roxbury\, once positioned on a hill overlooking Roxbury Neck\, the only land route out of Boston in the late eighteenth century. Explore the hidden Revolutionary War landscape beneath modern Boston and Charlestown with the city’s lead archaeologist as your guide. \nGeological Lecture Hall\, 24 Oxford Street\, Cambridge\, MA. Free admission. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage starting at 5:00 pm. Presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science and Culture. This lecture is presented to mark the 250th Anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence. \nPhoto © City of Boston Archaeology Program

SUMMARY:A Deep Dive into Deep Time: Archaeology Underwater
DESCRIPTION:A lecture: The phrase “underwater archaeology” conjures notions of shipwrecks\, ships lost at sea\, and the dramatic catastrophes that sank them; however\, the archaeology underwater can also reveal details about ancient landscapes that contain a record of past human occupations. Many of these sites are on the earth’s continental shelves where vast stretches of shallow\, coastal lands were exposed at the end of the last Ice Age. These once dry landscapes supported life for plants\, animals\, and humans for thousands of years. Learn about these ancient submerged sites\, the role they play in the global archaeological record and what unique data they have about the past. The talk will provide a general overview and the focus on 9\,000 year old submerged sites in the North American Great Lakes.

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.

SUMMARY:AIA Atlanta: Rune Nyord on the Egyptian Book of the Dead
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. (RSVP is not required but is appreciated to ensure we plan accordingly.)\nIf you RSVP by this deadline\, you will be entered into a raffle to win a signed copy of Dr. Nyord’s new book! (You must be present to win.) \nFishburne Parking Deck at 1672 North Decatur Road\, Atlanta\, GA 30322\n( see event website for venue details: http://tiny.cc/nyordAIA ) \nLecture Title: “Egyptian Book of the Dead: Ancient Contexts\, New Conclusions: The Ritual Logic of Book of the Dead Imagery”\nby Rune Nyord \nEvent Website: http://tiny.cc/nyordAIA \nSynopsis\nAre we misreading ancient Egyptian art? 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.
