SUMMARY:No Ordinary Dogs: Canine Behavior in Theban Tombs
DESCRIPTION:In-person lecture\nSaturday\, November 9\, 3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom 2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Chelsea Kaufman \nTitle: No Ordinary Dogs: Canine Behavior in Theban Tombs \nAbstract:\nThe wall scenes of the rock-cut Theban tombs of the New Kingdom are filled with richly painted imagery that captures the lives and beliefs of the people who built them\, offering modern viewers a window through which to recognize and relate to a distant past. Depictions of familiar animals abound in tomb scenes\, but perhaps no animal is more familiar to a modern viewer than the domestic dog. Scholars have long been drawn to and commented on canine imagery in Egyptian tombs\, often remarking on their proficiency as hunting hounds and their status as beloved companions\, many of which were endearingly named and shown alongside the tomb owner receiving offerings. But is there more to the icon than a testament to a cherished pet? Past approaches to dogs in Egyptian art have taken an anthropocentric view\, focusing on what dogs tell us about the lives of people while ignoring the animal’s unique ethology. As this talk will show\, applying an ethological approach to the images of dogs in tomb scenes can offer a nuanced understanding of the dog’s role within the scenes and the scene itself. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Chelsea L. Kaufman recently received her Ph.D in Near Eastern Studies from Johns Hopkins University. Her dissertation research centered on representations of domestic dogs in 18th Dynasty Theban tombs\, applying an ethological approach to better understand the role that dogs played both in funerary art and society. Kaufman holds a master’s degree in archaeology from Yale and a bachelor’s degree in art from Moravian University\, focusing on studio art\, art history\, and archaeology. She has 10 years of archaeological survey\, excavation\, and illustration experience within and outside of Egypt including the Mut Temple Precinct in Karnak\, Deir el-Medina\, the Outer Hebrides\, and various historic and prehistoric sites throughout northeastern Pennsylvania and Alabama. Kaufman’s interests are varied\, being involved in an ongoing experimental Egyptian metalworking project both before and during her dissertation research. Kaufman is currently working on publishing her dissertation and expanding on topics within it through a series of upcoming articles. \n***************************\nRegistration is NOT required. Lectures 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. 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. For more information or to learn about the perks of membership\, please send an e-mail to info@arce-pa.org\, or visit our website at www.arce-pa.org.

SUMMARY:Harry’s Bracelet: a Canadian battlefield archaeology case study
DESCRIPTION:A bracelet found in a slit trench in Normandy in 2014 led to the identification of Harry Edward Fox\, a Canadian Gunner who fought during the Second World War and returned to Canada. Denis Renaud identified this soldier in 2017 and connected with his family. Harry passed away in 2005. This discovery is a case study for Battlefield Archaeology in Canada.\nDenis Renaud is an archaeologist who has been teaching archaeology at the University of Ottawa since 2003.His interest in the military started as a young child and this childhood hobby became his passion. In 2008\, his book of short stories about French-Canadian soldiers was published in France. His field of research shifted from his initial specialization in ancient Greece after completing a degree in battlefield archaeology in Paris in 2013. Over the years\, he participated in digs in Greece\, France\, and Canada.

SUMMARY:Treasures from the Sea Floor: Military Finds from the Battle of the Aegates Islands
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Andrew L. Goldman\, Professor of History\, Gonzaga University \nOn 10 March\, 241 BCE\, the final naval battle of the First Punic War was fought off western Sicily\, where a large Roman fleet engaged an equally large Carthaginian fleet near the Aegates Islands. Almost 2300 years later\, the battle site has been located. Between 2005 and 2024\, a wide scatter of artifacts has been raised from the sea floor\, relics from the first maritime battlefield of ancient times which has ever been explored. This lecture will discuss briefly the field project and its background\, followed by an overview of the major finds\, including some of the earliest Latin inscriptions and Roman iconographic representations ever discovered. Among the more important artifacts brought to the surface are the military equipment finds: helmets\, swords\, and sling bullets.

SUMMARY:Age of Wolf and Wind: The Viking World and the Norse Settlement of the North Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:The Vikings continue to fascinate us because their compelling stories connect with universal human desires for exploration and adventure. In Age of Wolf and Wind: Voyages through the Viking World\, Dr. Davide Zori (Baylor University) argues that recent advances in excavation and archaeological science\, coupled with a re-evaluation of oral traditions and written sources\, inspire the telling of new and engaging stories that further our understanding of the Viking Age. Drawing upon his fieldwork experience across the Viking world\, he proposes that the best method for weaving together these narratives is a balanced\, interdisciplinary approach that integrates history\, archaeology\, and new scientific techniques. The dialogues he creates between these three separate data sets result in an entanglement of confirmation (texts\, archaeology\, and science affirming the same story)\, contradiction (texts\, archaeology\, and science telling incompatible stories) and complementarity (texts\, archaeology\, and science contributing mutually enriching stories). This optimistic yet critical treatment of the sources allows for a holistic picture of the Viking Age to emerge. This lecture presents the general arguments of Dr. Zori’s book before offering a case study of this approach from his research on Viking Age Iceland. He examines the Viking experience in Iceland through the discoveries and excavations of the Mosfell Archaeological Project (MAP) in Iceland’s Mosfell Valley. His team’s work brings together the disciplines of archaeology\, history\, saga studies\, osteology\, zoology\, paleobotany\, genetics\, isotope studies\, place-names studies\, environmental science\, and historical architecture. The decade-long research of MAP has led to the discovery of an exceptionally well-preserved Viking chieftain’s farmstead\, including a longhouse\, a pagan cremation site\, a conversion-era stave church\, and a Christian graveyard. The results of this interdisciplinary work offer a new view into the Viking Age in Iceland.

SUMMARY:Archaeology & Ale: Suhar\, An Early Medieval Port on the Indian Ocean
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation Dr. Derek Kennet\, Howard E. Hallengren Professor in Arabian Peninsula and Gulf States Archaeology\, ISAC\, University of Chicago\, will discuss one of the most important and least understood periods in the development of the world economy. About 1\,200 years ago\, at a time when the early Islamic empire of the Abbasids in the Middle East and Tang China were the two global economic superpowers\, merchant seafarers began—for the first time in history—sailing directly from the Middle East to China. Their activities brought the two ends of the known world into close contact and seem to represent the first steps towards the development of the modern global economy. Despite their important contribution\, almost nothing is known of these seafarers\, who they were or how they operated. All that is left to us is the archaeological evidence at port sites around the Indian Ocean. But how do we turn this evidence into a history of trade? Derek Kennet will set out some examples and ideas and describe the current UChicago (ISAC) excavations at Suhar (Sultanate of Oman). Warning: this talk is really only suitable for people who like long\, hot sandy beaches\, palm groves and exotic locations. Piña coladas are recommended.

SUMMARY:Drawing on History: Creating the  Graphic Adaptation of 1177 BC
DESCRIPTION:How does a cartoonist adapt a scholarly work of history\, specifically Eric H. Cline’s 1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed? Prof. Eric H. Cline and award-winning illustrator Glynnis Fawkes describe the process of interpreting Eric’s text in comics. This meant making historical figures (such as Ramses III) speak\, as well as imagining characters for whom we have no record offering commentary and opinions. Join the co-authors as they discuss the creation of 1177 B.C.: A Graphic History of the Year Civilization Collapsed (Princeton University Press).

SUMMARY:Children in Context: How Mortuary Contexts Inform our Understanding of the Past
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Dr. Erin Bornemann\, Director of Information Management for the Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. The mortuary record affords archaeologists a unique snapshot in time and space\, providing further information surrounding the larger social context of death and burial in archaeological contexts that are often not discernible from other non-burial settings. Studies of such contexts provide material evidence for objects the deceased may have used in life\, but more certainly for objects that the living found significant to include with the deceased in their final resting place. This lecture will present archaeological case studies based on the author’s research in Coastal California and Sudan that demonstrate cross-cultural differences in the expression of death and burial\, with a specific focus on an underrepresented portion of most burial populations: children. Using lenses of materiality\, personhood\, and childhood\, this lecture will discuss how these two cultural spheres—vastly different in time\, space\, and material culture—took great care in the burials of children in their communities\, and how these burial contexts can inform our knowledge regarding the ascription of personhood in these societies.

SUMMARY:Archives in the Crocodile: The Tebtunis Crocodile Papyri As the Missing Link between Ptolemaic and Roman Notarial Practices
DESCRIPTION:The 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 Leah Packard-Grams\, UC Berkeley: \nArchives in the Crocodile: The Tebtunis Crocodile Papyri\nAs the Missing Link between Ptolemaic and Roman Notarial Practices \nSunday November 17\, 2024\, 3 PM  Pacific Standard Time\nRoom 56 Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley \nThis in-person lecture will not be virtual or recorded.\nNo registration is required for the lecture. \nAbout the Lecture: \nOne of the most important finds of Egyptian papyri was discovered entirely by accident. An Egyptian workman (whose name the excavators do not report) broke open a crocodile mummy he had found while digging\, and beneath the linen mummy bandages were hidden papyrus archives that reveal the history of the “lost century” of ancient Egypt. The documents found stashed inside the 36 votive crocodile mummies at the site of Tebtunis are everyday papers\, but their value and uniqueness is hard to overstate: The texts are from the 1st century BCE\, a time when Egypt’s documentary record plummets. In this century\, Egypt was in its last decades of native rule under Cleopatra’s father Ptolemy XII\, and the Roman Republic was peering at the bounty of Egypt with an eye toward conquest. The archives in the Tebtunis crocodiles show a glimpse of everyday life in this period of uncertainty\, offering insights into the economic conditions and state-mandated notary practices of the lost century of Egypt’s history. \nThese crocodile papyri have never been examined in a holistic way that considers their archaeological assemblage of votive artifacts\, the full extent of the subarchives\, or the importance of the crocodile temples to the documents themselves. This is precisely what this project proposes to remedy.  \nAbout the Speaker: \nLeah Packard-Grams an interdisciplinary ancient historian\, papyrologist\, and archaeologist in UC Berkeley’s interdisciplinary program (AHMA) currently writing her dissertation on the topic of today’s lecture. Her primary interests include Greek and Demotic papyrology\, the archaeology of Greco-Roman Egypt\, and the materiality of ancient textual artifacts. She is part of two excavations in Egypt (El Hibeh with UC Berkeley + Amheida with NYU). She is passionate about diversifying the field of ancient history to include those accounts of people who have been historically marginalized\, and strives to bridge the disciplinary divides that artificially separate archaeology\, papyrology\, and Egyptology. \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee. Ticket dispensing machines accept debit or credit cards. Parking is available in lots around the Social Sciences Building\, and in lots along Bancroft. A map of the campus is available online at http://www.berkeley.edu/map/ . \nAbout ARCE-NC: \nFor more information\, please visit https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/\, https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings\, and https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:12th International Round Table on Polychromy in Ancient Sculpture and Architecture Art & Science Unite!
DESCRIPTION:For the first time\, the Polychromy Round Table will take place outside Europe\, in the United States\, where ancient polychromy studies have a long history. Building upon the encouraging experiences in Berlin (2020) and Rome (2022)\, this meeting will explore considerable developments\, focused research projects\, and a growing interest in the topic that characterize the field. Interdisciplinary collaboration within the humanities\, conservation science\, and natural sciences over recent decades have been of decisive importance and have led to breakthroughs in the understanding of ancient polychromy. The 12th Polychromy Round Table\, Art & Science Unite! Interdisciplinary Polychromy Research\, seeks submissions for papers related to innovative projects and methods in interdisciplinary polychromy research under two rubrics\, the principal theme “Art & Science” and\, as customary\, “News from Current Research.” Although data sets remain as vital as ever\, they can no longer be viewed in isolation. Technical studies\, syntheses\, and interpretation in relation to well- defined research questions are necessary to advance the field.Abstract submissions\, max. 400 words\, must include the title of your contribution\, author(s) and affiliation(s)\, and be submitted to PRT12@getty.edu no later than 15 January 2024. Presentations should be no longer than 20 minutes and will be followed by 10 minutes of discussion. A poster session with 10-minute lightening presentations is also planned. Physical presence in Los Angeles is requested for participation and is required of all speakers\, although we intend to live stream the presentations. Please indicate if your contribution falls under the rubric of “Art & Science” or “News from Current Research.” A scientific committee will review the submissions and make decisions in Spring 2024. We anticipate that proceedings of the Round Table will be published by the Getty.\nDuring the conference special tours of the Getty’s art collections\, special exhibitions\, and conservation and scientific facilities will be available\, as well as an optional visit to another cultural institution in Los Angeles. The organizers are also seeking bursaries to help support the costs of travel for presenters without institutional funding. Please indicate with your paper submission if you lack institutional support and require financial support in order to attend the conference. Details about these bursaries\, associated events\, schedules\, hotel accommodations\, etc. should be available by early Summer 2024.\nPossible topics to be addressed include:\n• Pigments: identification\, provenances\, trade routes\n• Pigment data: assembly and access\n• Technical imaging in polychromy research\n• Project design: innovative network organization and resource sharing\n• Polychromy studies: interdisciplinary collaboration–ways forwards\n• Ars\, scientia\, and materia: ancient notions and visual perceptions\n• Polychrome surfaces: natura\, ars\, truth\n• Living matter: wood\, ivory\, and bone\n• Plastike: metals\, terracotta\, and glass\n• Ancient color worlds: in and adjacent to the Mediterranean\n• Communicating ancient polychromy to the public: in galleries and beyond\n• Reconstructions for scholars and the public: 2-D\, 3-D\, and virtual

SUMMARY:Living and Dying as an Immigrant in Classical Athens
DESCRIPTION:The Archaeological Institute of America\, San Francisco Society\, is thrilled to welcome Dr. Camille Acosta (UC Irvine) to the UC Berkeley campus to share her research on immigrant communities in Classical Athens and archaeological evidence for their burials. \nAbstract: \nClassical Athens is widely known for being the birthplace of democracy\, a political system in which any free male could participate in the governing of the city-state. Yet this democratic system excluded a range of individuals from citizenship\, including women\, slaves\, and immigrants. This talk will explore the archaeological evidence for one of these groups: immigrants\, including both Greeks from other city-states and non-Greeks such as Phoenicians or Egyptians. Despite coming from a range of places around the Mediterranean and Black Seas\, all of these immigrants all died in Athens and were laid to rest in one of the city’s cemeteries. The archaeological evidence of these burials will be used to tell the stories of some of these immigrants\, including a man from the island of Chios\, a young girl from the island of Lesbos\, and a community from the region of Messenia. By re-creating these ancient funerals\, this talk sheds light on the lived experience of migrants and centers them as agents rather than “victims” of the Athenian state. \nSpeaker: Dr. Camille Acosta\, Assistant Professor of Art History\, Archaeology\, and Visual Studies\, UC Irvine

SUMMARY:Lecture: Zuni Region in the Post-Chacoan Era.
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Keith Kintigh (Arizona State University). The Chaco Era has received a tremendous amount of archaeological consideration over the last 45 years. Far less attention has been paid to understanding the organization of northern Southwestern societies following the collapse of Chaco–a time was once viewed as a dark age\, a time of cultural backsliding. However\, imposing sites with Chaco-inspired public architecture provide evidence of large communities\, dating between A.D. 1200 and 1275\, that laid the organizational foundations of well-known Pueblo IV towns. We excavated portions of two such Zuni-area settlements and did extensive systematic survey around those two sites and a third\, Spier 81. The Hinkson Site has 32 residential room blocks surrounding a great house complex that includes an unroofed\, oversize great kiva\, a nazha\, and roads. The Hinkson site appears to be the center of a 250 square kilometer community with 70 room blocks and nearly 900 rooms. The Los Gigantes Site in the El Morro Valley has similar expressions of public architecture but many fewer roomblocks in the immediate vicinity. Recognition of these multi-room block communities with public architecture permits a rethinking of post-Chacoan\, Ancestral Pueblo social organization south of Chaco and provides a more plausible bridge between the Chacoan and Pueblo IV periods in the Zuni region.

SUMMARY:Beyond the stone giants: an isotopic perspective on life and death of the people buried at Mont’e Prama
DESCRIPTION:November 19\, 2024\n7:30 p.m. ET\nDavidson College\nBelk Visual Arts Center 117\nFree and open to the public \nLuca Lai\, “Beyond the stone giants: an isotopic perspective on life and death of the people buried at Mont’e Prama” \nAbout the lecture:\nThe accidental 1974 discovery of tens of fragmentary statues at Mont’e Prama\, in central-western Sardinia\, led to one of the most unexpected discoveries in recent Mediterranean archaeology: A unique necropolis with thousands of fragments of stone warriors and athletes representing one of the earliest examples of life-sized 3D figures west of the Aegean.\nAfter a brief summary of the monumental aspects and the main interpretations of the site’s meaning\, the talk will explore the less-publicized insights into the chronology\, burial ritual\, health\, diet\, and mobility as they begin to take shape from mortuary archaeology\, osteology\, and especially the isotopic analyses of their bones. This will also provide an opportunity to discuss the site’s role in today’s public debates surrounding the archaeology of the Nuragic culture and its special place in shaping modern Sardinian identity. \nAbout the speaker:\nLuca Lai\, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at UNC Charlotte\, specializes in stable isotopes\, Western Mediterranean prehistory and particularly Sardinia\, and human-environment interactions. He has conducted research on paleodiet and paleoclimate in prehistoric Sardinia from the fifth through the first millennium BCE\, focusing on long-term continuity and change\, and on differential access to resources based on social status and gender. He grew up in Sardinia and has also lived in Ireland\, the US\, England\, and Lesotho. He has worked on favoring the dissemination of archaeology\, culture and current events awareness with special attention to the perspectives of minorities.

SUMMARY:ArtsThursdays: Celebrating Native American Craft Brewers
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free\, fun night at the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture. Come with a date\, come with friends\, or make new friends while strolling through the galleries. \nExplore the art of craft beer making from 6:00 to 7:00 pm with the founders of Bow & Arrow Brewing Co.\, based in Albuquerque\, New Mexico\, and the executive director of the Beer Culture Center\, a Chicago nonprofit dedicated to sharing global stories of beer (details below).\nParticipate in beer-themed activities.\nPurchase local beers curated for the event at the cash bar (valid government ID required to consume alcoholic beverages).\nEnter a free raffle to win museum gifts and membership. \nFree and open to the public. Let us know you are coming! RSVPs are encouraged\, but walk-in visitors are always welcome. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. \nConversation\, 6:00–7:00 pm\, Geological Lecture Hall\, 24 Oxford Street\, Cambridge\nShyla Sheppard\, Founder\, President & CEO\, Bow & Arrow Brewing Co.\nMissy Begay\, Co-Founder & Creative Director\, Bow & Arrow Brewing Co.\nLiz Garibay\, Executive Director\, Beer Culture Center \nIn 2016\, Shyla Sheppard and Missy Begay officially opened the doors to the first ever Native women-owned brewery in the United States. Their beers are attention-demanding explorations of Indigenous and local Southwestern ingredients. Pilsners\, hazy IPAs\, sours\, and farmhouse ales feature local blue corn\, sumac\, and prickly pear\, and hand-foraged neomexicanus hops\, the only hop indigenous to North America. They’ve translated their love of the land and their rich agricultural histories to incorporate ingredients that are foraged\, sourced from Tribal agricultural enterprises\, or grown on their rural property. They are creating initiatives they believe will make their industry more enduring. While they initially turned heads when they chose to open a brewery\, they’ve since demonstrated the power of their unique voice and perspective and have made their mark on the industry with recent recognition\, including being a 2024 James Beard Foundation Semifinalist.\nThat same year\, the world’s first nonprofit dedicated to sharing stories of how beer has shaped humanity\, was launched. A museum kid since the age 15\, Liz Garibay has spent most of her life and career digging in archives and working in various academic institutions and cultural centers around the world (including the Peabody Museum at Harvard). Inspired by the legacies of these historic establishments\, her own Mexican-American Midwestern heritage\, and her vast work in examining untold tales of beer history\, Garibay created the Beer Culture Center. The organization’s innovative approach to collaborations\, spirited storytelling\, and creative forward-thinking is exhibited in its expansive body of programming and has caused a stir in both the museum world and the beer industry.\nWe invite you to gather with us for a special evening and conversation that digs into the way these women of color are reclaiming Indigenous brewing histories and changing the beer industry.\nThrough Bow & Arrow Brewing\, Shyla and Missy are perfect examples of the Beer Culture Center’s mission that beer is more than just a beverage. It is a dynamic cultural force with the ability to bring people together and the power to make change.

SUMMARY:Cultural Continuity and Persistence in Upland Environments: Insights from an Archaeology Field School in the Homeland of the Okanogan
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Tiffany Fulkerson will discuss her work on PNW studies. Home to the sʔukʷnaʔqín (Okanogan) people\, the Okanogan Highlands of northern Washington is a region characterized by mountainous terrain with diverse habitats ranging from forests to desert shrub-steppe. While oral traditions and archaeological and ethnographic data speak to a long history of cultural use of diverse ecologies by Okanogan people\, archaeological evidence of human habitation in upland areas here and elsewhere on the Plateau remain poorly documented\, in part due to historical sampling biases that have tended to favor river and lake environments. This talk describes ongoing research as part of an archaeology field school in the Mt. Hull-Whistler Canyon area of the Okanogan Highlands that was designed to explore the continuity of culture and place and connections between community\, landscapes\, and ancestral foods in upland environments through time. The field school was developed in partnership with the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation\, Spokane Bureau of Land Management\, and academic institutions and provides a unique opportunity to train early career professionals in collaborative heritage management practices in ways that reflect the expressed interests and goals of the communities who maintain longstanding connections to federally managed lands. This talk will present the results of archaeological excavations of a cultural depression on Mt. Hull in the field school project area that revealed an unusually wide diversity of artifact assemblages\, along with preliminary results of ongoing specialized analyses including aerial Light Detection and Ranging (lidar)\, portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF)\, paleoethnobotany\, zooarchaeology\, and ancient DNA (aDNA) data.  This lecture is sponsored by the AIA’s Frieda Florence Renner Lecture grant.

SUMMARY:Serpent Mound - An Icon of Ancient Ohio
DESCRIPTION:The second presentation in the Archaeological Institute of America Dayton Society’s 2024-2025 Lecture Series presented by Dr. Brad Lepper\, Senior Archaeologist World Heritage Program\, Ohio History Connection \nSerpent Mound in Adams County\, Ohio is one of the largest and most spectacular earthen sculptures in the world. The age of the serpent is a subject of much current debate with some archaeologists arguing that it was built by the Adena culture at around 300 B.C.E. and others favoring the Fort Ancient culture at around 1100 C.E. Although much about Serpent Mound still is shrouded in mystery\, ancient cave paintings in Missouri may provide a key to unlocking some of its secrets. \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 its Dayton Society members this lecture is free and open to the public.
