SUMMARY:Early Peoples in the Plateau:  Nimíipuu Knowledge and Landscape Adaptation in the Bitterroot Mountains
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture by WSU grad Student Jordan Thompson on early Northwest culture.\nAbstract: Mountain environments and resources have played a significant role in Indigenous cultural and subsistence lifeways and knowledge systems yet remain underrepresented in landscape research. Recent archaeological evidence points to the Southern Columbia Plateau as an early entry point for the Peopling of the Americas. Understanding the landscape is essential to adaptation in new and changing environments\, and archaeological methods combined with Indigenous knowledge are uniquely positioned to investigate these human-environment relationships. Indigenous oral narratives\, correlated with geologic processes\, reveal a deep record of landscape knowledge that may offer insight into early migration\, environmental adaptation\, and landscape exploration. In this talk\, I will present on collaborative research which integrates geoarchaeology and ethnogeology to examine how land use\, mobility\, and placemaking shaped the establishment of seasonal subsistence cycle among the Nimíipuu (Nez Perce). Ethnogeology foregrounds Indigenous perspectives of place\, complementing archaeological investigation by contextualizing the cultural meanings of stone artifacts. This talk will focus on Nimíipuu subsistence in an understudied portion of the western Bitterroot Mountain uplands\, a segment of the Northern Rockies\, in the North Fork Clearwater River watershed of Idaho by examining toolstone sources\, their distribution across the landscape\, and how these features acquire meaning. By combining geoarchaeological and ethnogeological frameworks\, this talk explores how people come to know\, understand\, and connect to landscapes while developing a sense of place with reciprocal subsistence systems.

SUMMARY:The Southern Mani Archaeological Project: Fieldwork at the End of the World
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Chelsea A.M. Gardner (Acadia University) \nThe Mani peninsula is the literal (geographical) and metaphorical “end of the world”\, since it occupies the southernmost point of mainland Greece and the mythical entrance to Hades\, the ancient Greek underworld. Mani’s occupation history includes being home to the earliest hominid caves in Greece up to modern tower-houses and intergenerational feuding. I have been working in Mani since 2012\, and this talk will introduce Mani\, its liminality\, and its storied past through three separate archaeological initiatives: the Diros Project (2012-2015)\, the CARTography Project (2018-2022)\, and the first season of the Southern Mani Archaeological Project\, a SSHRC-funded survey that began in May 2025.

SUMMARY:Seeing the Past Anew: The Digital Epigraphy and Archaeology’s Toolkit for Accessible 3D Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer: Dr. Eleni Bozia\nAssociate Professor\, Department of Classics\nHead of the Data-Driven Humanities Research Group\nUniversity of Florida \nArchaeology\, epigraphy\, and heritage sites point to and recall the past\, and reasonably so. People usually turn to them for Instagram photos or contemplate on them because they are told that “history may not repeat itself\, but it does rhyme.” However\, in reality\, there is still a large disconnect between the past and the present\, the value of one for the other\, and overall\, the purpose of sustaining\, supporting\, and engaging with these fields and their objects of interest. This talk will traverse the history of digital preservation and dissemination\, and digital world heritage through the lens of the Digital Epigraphy and Archaeology project to emphasize that nothing is more urgent for the present than the past\, and how technology and AI can bring archaeology and epigraphy to a new\, more responsible ecosystem of valued knowledge. Ultimately\, this talk advocates for a future in which the digital humanities not only preserve the traces of antiquity but also empower new ways of engaging with them\, transforming the past into a living\, collaborative resource for global society.

SUMMARY:The Past Keeps Getting Bigger: Living with the Past in the Present and the  Future at Tell Dhiban\, Jordan
DESCRIPTION:The AIA Helene J. Kantor Memorial Lecture (link: https://www.archaeological.org/endowment/the-helene-j-kantor-memorial-lecture/) \nProfessor Bruce Routledge (University of Liverpool) \nTell Dhiban is a large mound in central Jordan occupied since 3000 BCE. It is best known as the capital of the biblical kingdom of Moab and the site of a significant Nabataean temple. However\, focusing on separate moments in time does not do justice to a site where the past has always formed the ground beneath one’s feet. This talk will consider how for 5\,000 years inhabitants of Dhiban have lived with the past\, including current residents for whom the past also plays a key role in their futures.

SUMMARY:The (Beautiful) Men and Women of Jaina Figurines
DESCRIPTION:Lifelike Maya figurines from the Island of Jaina have been collected for almost 200 years\, with hundreds now known in collections around the world\, from Berlin to Brooklyn\, and Los Angeles to Mexico City. These figurines also present the largest corpus of female representations of the ancient Americas\, comprising roughly one-third of all known examples. Many examples are rattles or whistles\, and trace of brilliant pigments remain in place. In this talk\, Mary Miller will look at their meaning and their making\, all c 700-900 CE.

SUMMARY:“She is the Son of Bastet”: Gender in Papyrus Louvre 32308
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 Rachel Barnas\, UC Berkeley: \n“She is the Son of Bastet”: Gender in Papyrus Louvre 32308\nSunday\, January 25\, 2026\, 3 PM PST\nMELC Lounge\, Room 254 Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley\nBecause of nearby construction\, please allow extra time to park your vehicle. \nThis is an in-person lecture and is not virtual. No registration is required.\nThe lecture will be recorded for later publication on the chapter’s YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE \nAbout the Lecture: \nMagic was a tool for dealing with a host of everyday problems in ancient Egypt\, from headaches and snakebites to bad luck and nightmares\, and employed a wide variety of strategies accordingly. Underlying many of these different strategies was a shared reliance on the power of analogy\, which was used to impose a desirable mythological template on immediate\, everyday reality. To accomplish this superposition\, tools\, problems\, and even the speaker or subject of a spell could all be assigned mythic identities\, ensuring that success was already predestined. \nWhat happened\, though\, when there was a mismatch between the divine identity needed and some aspect of the subject’s everyday self? This situation presents itself in the case of one amuletic papyrus\, Papyrus Louvre 32308\, in which a female patient is cast as multiple male deities. Such casting raises a number of questions: Was this gender conflict seen as a problem? How does the text navigate this apparent conflict? Why not just pick some female deities and avoid the problem altogether? Exploring the answers to these questions through close reading of the Louvre papyrus and comparison to similar spells can help us refine our notions of when the bounds of gender could or could not be pushed in ancient Egypt and why\, revealing just how much ancient magical texts can tell us about their users. \nAbout the Speaker: \nRachel Barnas is a PhD candidate in the Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures department at UC Berkeley. She received her B.A. in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures from Yale University in 2013 and her M.A. in Near & Middle Eastern Civilizations from the University of Toronto in 2020\, both with a focus in Egyptology. Her dissertation project examines patterns of literary and grammatical device usage in Ramesside non-funerary magical texts\, as a means of analyzing the relationship between how the ancient Egyptians used language and how they experienced and understood their world. She has also worked in both curation and epigraphy\, including as Terrace Research Associate at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and as a member of the IFAO team documenting the tomb of Padiamenope (TT33). \nAbout Northern California ARCE: \nFor more information\, please visit https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://www.facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://arce-nc.org\, https://bsky.app/profile/khentiamentiu.bsky.social\, and https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:Boxes\, Banks\, Bags\, and Bones: Carrying and Storing Money in Ancient Rome
DESCRIPTION:About the lecture: \nHow did the Romans carry\, store\, and save their money? This talk surveys the archaeological evidence for the wallets\, purses\, bags\, boxes\, and chests in which the ancient Romans placed their coined money at home and on the go. From reused cooking pots to bronze arm purses and ceramic “piggybanks\,” we will explore what the methods and means of containing coined money reveal about Roman daily life\, religious practice\, and the social and cultural norms around the function of physical currency in the ancient world. \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Robyn Le Blanc\, Assistant Professor of Ancient Mediterranean Studies and Archaeology at UNC Greensboro\, specializes in the archaeology and coinage of the Roman provinces. Her current research explores how Roman colonies used their coinages to negotiate a local identity. She is also developing a project on Roman money boxes. In 2021-2022 Dr. Le Blanc was the Kershaw Lecturer in Near East Archaeology for the Archaeological Institute of America\, and she has recently given invited talks for the American Numismatic Society and the Oxford Numismatic Society. She has participated in excavations in Israel\, England\, and Montenegro\, and she is co-director of WIRE: Women in the Roman East (see more at wireproject.org).

SUMMARY:AIA Archaeology Hour January 2026: NAGPRA as a Path to Healing and Reciprocity
DESCRIPTION:Join the AIA for the first AIA Archaeology Hour talk of the new year as new AIA President Brian I. Daniels hosts Danyelle Means for “NAGPRA as a Path to Healing and Reciprocity.” \nThis presentation will be given at 8pm Eastern/7pm Central/6pm Mountain/5pm Pacific. \nHave you noticed empty exhibit cases at museums over the past two years as museums move to comply with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA)? \nMeans’ presentation reframes NAGPRA not as a legal obligation but as a vital opportunity for healing\, reciprocity\, and relationship-building between archaeologists\, museums\, and Indigenous communities. Drawing from Indigenous perspectives\, the talk explores how NAGPRA challenges institutions to move beyond compliance and toward practices rooted in respect\, sovereignty\, and shared stewardship. By centering Native voices and experiences\, this session invites the audience to consider how honoring ancestors and returning cultural items can transform the field into one of accountability\, trust\, and long-term collaboration. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Provenance Research in the Fight Against Looting
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 Zoom lecture by Sara Aly\, Griffith Institute: \n“Provenance Research in the Fight Against Looting”\nSunday\, February 22 2026\, 3 PM PST \nRegister in advance for this lecture:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/MvauTi1wT0OHniyDLJXJHw \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the lecture. \nThere are a few things you should know before you join the lecture: \n* Advance registration is required. When you click on the link to “Register in advance for this lecture” you will receive instructions by email on how and when to join\, along with a link on which you will click to join the meeting. Save the email\, as you will need the link it contains to join the meeting. Please register now. Please do not share the join link with anyone\, it is unique to your email address. Try to join at least 10 minutes before the meeting. When you do join the meeting\, be prepared to be put in the waiting room until the lecture starts at 3 pm. This is a security measure. \n* If you haven’t already installed Zoom\, you should download and install the Zoom program (app) well before you try to join the meeting. There IS an option to use your web browser to join the meeting instead of the Zoom program\, but the browser interface is limited and depends greatly on what browser and what operating system you’re using. \n* For tutorials on how to use Zoom\, go to https://learn-zoom.us/show-me. In particular\, “Joining a Zoom Meeting” should show you what you need to do to join our lecture. \n* All meeting attendees can communicate with everyone\, or with individual participants\, using the chat window\, which can be opened by clicking on the chat button and which you can probably find at the bottom middle of your Zoom viewing screen. Participants will be encouraged to hold their questions for the speaker until after the lecture\, and will also be encouraged to address their questions for the speaker to everyone\, not just to the speaker\, so that all can see them. “Everyone” is the default chat option. \nIf you have any questions\, please email glenn@glennmeyer.net or arcencZoom@gmail.com. \nAbout the Lecture: \nSince the days when the pharaohs ruled over Egypt\, funerary materials have been affected by the greed of people. An enormous amount of wealth was invested in preparations for the afterlife\, but often this richness represented by gold and precious minerals in the funerary equipment became the booty of many\, rather than the resting place for one. Unfortunately\, the scale of destruction due to the ongoing looting is greater today than ever and several illegally sourced artefacts from Egypt constantly appear on the art market. Authorities consistently work to detect these objects by tracing the activity of dealers and galleries\, but a lot still needs to be done. Source countries require tougher laws and international legislation needs to become stricter. Moreover\, the knowledge of specialists must be employed in a systematic way to assist in the rescue of these objects. Museum curators should implement due diligence\, learn about the art market\, and understand how to conduct provenance research. This practice helps with the identification of looted artefacts by analysing an object and comparing it with published examples of the same kind\, allowing its origins to be identified and some lost archaeological context to be recovered. \nAbout the Speaker: \nSara Aly’s research focuses on the circulation of illicitly sourced Egyptian artefacts on the art market\, following a collaboration that started 6 years ago with the Circulating Artefacts project at the British Museum. Her MA dissertation at the University of Manchester (2023) examined upper coffin fragments appearing on the art market. Since 2023\, she has been a member of the Franco-Egyptian Archaeological Mission of Western Thebes\, working at the Ramesseum\, where she analyses coffin and cartonnage fragments. From 2023 to 2025 she worked as an Art Market Expert at the British Museum helping to identify and recover missing items from the museum’s collection. Now based at the Griffith Institute\, Sara is studying the archival material of J.J. Clère related to his documentation of Egyptian objects in the possession of antiquities dealers and collectors between the 1930s and the 1980s. \nAbout Northern California ARCE: \nFor more information\, please visit https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://www.facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://arce-nc.org\, https://bsky.app/profile/khentiamentiu.bsky.social\, and https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:The Unknown Ottawa Project – working with colonial and indigenous assemblages from the Ottawa region
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Laura Banducci – Carleton University \nThis project involves the re-studying and digitization of artefacts from several assemblages from Lake Leamy Park\, at the confluence of the Ottawa and Gatineau Rivers. This was a central meeting place from the earliest days of human occupation of the region\, yet the materials are not well-published or easily accessible. National Capital Commission archaeologists and members of Carleton University are working together to bring decades of archaeological investigation in the park to light for the general public and for scholars. Site 18\, a beachfront stretch along the Ottawa\, contains thousands of fragments of stone tool debris and pottery attesting to its frequent use 2000 years ago. Site 24\, along the Gatineau River\, reveals the remains of the earliest settlers in the region\, who travelled North from the US to Hull Township at the turn of the 19th century. This lecture discusses the beginning of work on these assemblages and highlights some of the stories about Ottawa’s past we’ve learned so far.

SUMMARY:Daniel Healey\, Provenance Researcher\, Worcester Art Museum: "Orphaned Antiquities & Cold Case Files: Investigating Provenance in the New Era of Museum Restitution"
DESCRIPTION:The Clarence and Anne Dillon Dunwalke Lecture \nProvenance refers to an artwork’s history of ownership\, from the time of its creation or archaeological discovery to the present. Provenance researchers track down a wide range of sources—scholarship\, auction catalogs\, financial records\, inventories\, correspondence\, photographs\, markings on artworks themselves\, and more—to reconstruct an object’s past and retrace its path to the museum. This work has been compared to that of an investigator\, and provenance researchers routinely described as “art detectives.” Over the past decade\, these metaphors have become increasingly relevant as law-enforcement agencies across the U.S. have arrested dealers\, seized antiquities from the nation’s leading museums\, and made hundreds of repatriations to countries around the world—all to great fanfare and press coverage. The collision between the worlds of law enforcement and museums has revolutionized the field of provenance research and redefined the standards of ethical and legal collecting in this country. As a former Antiquities Trafficking Analyst for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and now the Provenance Research Specialist at the Worcester Art Museum\, I will share stories from the frontlines of provenance research—stories of looting\, forgery\, and repatriation—that explain why museums need “art detectives” now more than ever.

SUMMARY:The Ecstasy and the Agony:Excavations at La Venta\, Mexico\, an Olmec Capital
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer: Dr. Susan Gillespie\nProfessor of Anthropology\, University of Florida \nIn 1942 and 1943\, excavations revealed fabulous buried deposits of jade and other precious items in a very unexpected place: La Venta on Mexico’s southern Gulf coast\, an area of swamps and tropical forest. These finds produced an “ecstatic” reaction in the world of archaeology and shed light on the Olmecs\, a mysterious early civilization in Mesoamerica (c. 1150-400 BC). Subsequent fieldwork in 1955 revealed even more astonishing discoveries: tons of jade and other greenstone objects recovered at an “agonizing” cost. The archaeologists encountered tremendous problems excavating La Venta. The site was already suffering damage by development\, and subsequent looting destroyed much of what was left. The story of the ecstasy and agony of La Venta’s excavations is reconstructed through archival archaeology\, analyzing the field records\, maps\, and photographs.
