SUMMARY:Beneath an Ancient Neighborhood: Archaeology and History in the Barrio de Analco\, Santa Fe
DESCRIPTION:Lecture. Stephen Post (Museum of New Mexico\, Office of Archaeological Studies). For more than 900 years\, humans have left their mark on the neighborhood on the south side of the Santa Fe River known as Barrio de Analco. Within the Barrio de Analco\, conclusive physical evidence of its past residents often has been difficult to uncover. The vague traces left by Ancestral Puebloan\, Hispano\, Mestizo\, Indio\, Genízaro\, and Anglo peoples offer fleeting glimpses of the past. The physical context of these traces can be compared to mixing a layer cake in a blender and then spreading the result across the land. While well intended\, studies of this jumbled landscape\, most of them mandated by City ordinances\, have been insufficient in scope to yield substantive new information. This talk will highlight a few exceptional studies\, including recent research at the Boyle House located at 327 E. De Vargas St. These studies shed light on the customs\, relationships\, and identities of those who once lived in the ancient location known to modern Pueblo people as O’gha Po’oghe and Santa Fe’s non-Indigenous residents as El Barrio de Analco.

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Livestream: Uzma Rizvi. “Caring for MohenjoDaro”
DESCRIPTION:How do we understand care in the ancient world? This talk will focus on current archaeological research conducted in the city of MohenjoDaro (a World Heritage Site) located in contemporary Pakistan (Sindh Province). Archaeological excavations at Mohenjo-Daro document hundreds of dwelling-houses and large buildings built along streets and lanes oriented towards cardinal points\, which index an architectural sophistication of a well-planned city. This talk will focus on the neighborhood of DK-G South\, and look for indicators of care in the many ways the ancient inhabitants maintained their lived environment over generations. Please join us in-person to watch this live-streamed Zoom event.

In Herodotus’ Histories the scholar describes the region as an idealized utopia notable for its raw materials and a formidable fighting force. However\, Kush’s role extended beyond being just a geographical region to be pillaged for mercenaries and material wealth. It was a crucial trade partner in a period of internationalism and cultural exchange in Northeast Africa and the greater Mediterranean. A perceived dearth of representational evidence from Nubia abroad during this period reinforces the notion that Kush’s only influence was as a place to be exploited. When artistic evidence is marshaled to consider Kush’s influence\, analysis has tended to rely solely on stereotypical depictions of Nubians identifiable through stylistic ethnic markers such as physiognomic features and bodily adornment. While this approach has been used to identify Nubian presence abroad\, it hasn’t accounted for the significance these depictions hold in their local contexts and for their widespread prevalence. This lecture argues that Kushite representational conventions established in the seventh century circulate beyond the borders of Nubia and become integrated into a larger international koine. This process will be presented through a corpus of objects which span both time and place\, charting the development of Kushite influence through the Nile River Valley north to Egypt\, where it then spreads to the Near East and the Aegean. Iron Age networks of cultural exchange have traditionally only considered the bordering civilizations of the Mediterranean; this talk aims to show the influence of this peripheral sub-Saharan African kingdom. By integrating Africa into these networks of exchange\, this analysis will urge for new ways of looking at objects and materials which have traditionally been overlooked by conventional approaches to Western art history. \nAbout the Speaker: \nPeter Moore Johnson is a PhD Candidate at The Institute of Fine Arts\, New York University. He is currently the Marcia and Jan Vilcek Curatorial Fellow at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His research focuses on Kushite-era material culture and self-presentation in ancient Egypt and Nubia. His dissertation\, Aethiopia Abroad\, is a collections-based project that charts the influence and spread of Kushite material culture across the greater Mediterranean in the second half of the 1st millennium BCE. His previous field experience includes the Innsbruck-Leiden Excavations at Satu Qala\, Iraq\, the NYUIFA Excavations at Sanam Temple\, Sudan\, and the NYUIFA Excavations at Abydos\, Egypt. He has several years’ experience in museum and curatorial work\, including internships at the Brooklyn Museum of Art\, Oriental Institute Museum\, Cleveland Museum of Art\, RISD Museum\, and the Delaware Museum of Natural History\, in addition to curating shows in New York\, Chicago\, and Providence. He holds an MA from the Institute of Fine Arts\, NYU and a BA (Hons.) in Egyptology from Brown University.\n———————\nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:A Late Bronze Age “Naval Station” at Kalamianos (Saronic Gulf)\, Greece? presented by Dr. Daniel Pullen
DESCRIPTION:The Saronic Harbors Archaeological Research Project has documented the Late Bronze Age (14th-13th cent. BCE) harbor town at Kalamianos on the Saronic Gulf coast of the Corinthia\, Greece. We suggest this site might be the Homeric town of “Eïones” which later Strabo identified as a “naval station.” The implications of this identification of Kalamianos as a naval station are evaluated in light of our current understanding of the archaeology of maritime culture\, both commercial and military\, of the Mycenaeans and other Late Bronze Age peoples of the Aegean. The lack of identifiable maritime infrastructure – let alone that for specialized military activity – outside of Crete\, including at Kalamianos\, suggests that such installations were not essential for LBA maritime activities elsewhere in the Aegean.

SUMMARY:Colonial Transitions in Ancient Perú: How Osteoimmunology is Reconstructing Hidden Life Histories
DESCRIPTION:How can bioarchaeology be used to illuminate colonial encounters? Dr. Fabian Crespo (UofL Anthropology) addresses this question in his talk\, “Colonial Transitions in Ancient Perú: How Osteoimmunology is Reconstructing Hidden Life Histories.” This presentation will discuss the complex biosocial transition in northwest Peru during the colonial process and how new theoretical and methodological approaches can help reconstruct the immune system in past populations. We explore how different immunological profiles recovered from bones and molecules can help show how complex and heterogeneous the biosocial landscapes were before and after colonial transitions\, challenging and disputing simplistic and unilinear trajectories of life history changes during colonial encounters. \nDr. Fabian Crespo is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Louisville. \n“Colonial Transitions in Ancient Perú” is presented by the Kentucky Society of the Archaeological Institute of America and the UofL Department of Anthropology.

SUMMARY:Jon Frey's The Origins of Roman Bathing at the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Isthmia
DESCRIPTION:Oscar Broneer Memorial Lecture \nIn addition to being one of the most recognizable monuments at the site\, the Roman Bath at Isthmia in Greece continues to yield surprising discoveries. Excavations in the\n1960s through the 1980s revealed not only the 2nd c. CE structure but also parts of an earlier Greek-period pool of impressive dimensions—a fitting monument at a\nSanctuary of Poseidon. Most recently\, a re-investigation of the excavated material and associated documentation has revealed the presence of a third structure that fits in time between the other two. This presentation discusses these buildings by focusing on the discovery in this location of tegula mammata—a peculiar type of tile used in heating systems in Roman-style baths prior to the adoption of the more common tubulus. These artifacts provide evidence for changes both to Roman building practices of the 1st century CE and to the athletic sanctuary as Romans from the re-founded colony of Corinth returned to Isthmia with their own unique needs and expectations.

SUMMARY:Oman & the UAE: Crossroads of the Indian Ocean & Arabian Gulf
DESCRIPTION:Delve into the cultural and geographical diversity of Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the company of seasoned study leader Trevor Marchand. Our custom-designed itinerary highlights ancient sites and historical monuments\, and helps illustrate how influential geography has been on the region’s history and how the region’s maritime history has linked it to elsewhere in Arabia and as far as Africa and southern Asia. Begin with three full days in the UAE. Still a little fishing village as of the 18th century\, Dubai was a center of pearl exports until the 1930s. Similarly\, Abu Dhabi was founded as a simple pearl and fishing village. After the discovery of oil in the Arabian Gulf\, Dubai became one of the wealthiest cities in the world\, and Abu\nDhabi was transformed into a luxurious modern metropolis and the capital of the UAE. But this region was settled many centuries earlier\, and we will observe how the old and the new co-exist in intriguing ways. Spend the balance of our time exploring Oman\, which dominated for centuries the maritime trade routes from Moorish Spain to Canton (modern-day Guangzhou\, China). Here seafaring merchants traded in such commodities of civilization as frankincense\, myrrh\, silk\, gold\, spices\, and coffee. Today\, Oman takes pride in sharing its rich history with visitors\, as demonstrated in its world-class museums. Altogether we will learn about these countries’ histories\, cultures\, art\, and architecture while witnessing their great geographical diversity\, from spectacular deserts and wadis to pristine coastlines\, including a reserve for the endangered green sea turtle. \nHighlights:\n• Six UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Oman’s aflaj irrigation systems\, the protohistoric archaeological complex of Bat and Al-Ayn\, the immense fort at the oasis of Bahla\, the medieval trade city of Qalhat (pending re-opening)\, and the Land of Frankincense;\nplus the UAE’s Hili Archaeological Park\, part of the “Cultural Sites of Al Ain” listing\n• Two full days exploring archaeological sites around Dubai\, including the 4\,000-year-old site of Al Sufouh; and Abu Dhabi\, including the incredible new Louvre Abu Dhabi and the 18th-century Qasr Al Hosn\, the city’s oldest fort\n• Hasat bin Sult (a.k.a. Coleman’s Rock)\, site of Oman’s most significant rock art\n• Nizwa’s lively Friday Market\, whose animal souk is an opportunity to witness the country’s traditional manner of selling livestock\n• A visit with a Bedouin family and a night at a lovely desert camp in Wahiba Sands\, a 6\,000-square-mile desert\n• Sur\, where many of the trading fleets of Omani ships were built\n• Muscat\, with its recently-opened National Museum of Oman

SUMMARY:Women’s Rights in Marriage and Divorce in Ancient Egypt
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 Alison Wilkinson\, Johns Hopkins University: \n“Women’s Rights in Marriage and Divorce in Ancient Egypt” \nSunday February 9\, 2025\, 3 PM Pacific Standard Time\nRoom 56 Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley \nThis is an in-person lecture and is not virtual. No registration is required.\nThe lecture will be recorded. \nAbout the Lecture: \nThis talk presents a deep dive into the textual evidence for marriage and marital separation with a focus on the question: What rights did women have in these processes? New Kingdom and Demotic legal records together with New Kingdom letter correspondences are examined for the answers. The talk incorporates a recently reanalyzed Ostracon Deir el-Medina 439 for insights on a woman’s rights in divorce during the New Kingdom. The focus on textual sources aims to extrapolate the contemporary perspectives of marriage and divorce. The lexical and grammatical analysis presents insights into the process\, social implications\, and consequences of these social acts. Subtle differences arise in the role of men versus women\, most especially within the context of divorce. This “marriage” of gender studies and linguistic analyses uncovers subtle nuances concerning marital unions and separations within the culture of ancient Egypt. \nAbout the Speaker: \nAlison Wilkinson is a PhD Candidate at Johns Hopkins University\, Baltimore\, Maryland. She graduated with a Bachelors of Art with First Class Honors in Egyptology at the University of Liverpool\, Liverpool\, England in July 2018. She obtained her Masters of Art with Distinction in Egyptology at the University of Liverpool in November 2019. Her Master’s Thesis\, “The Language of ‘Divorce’ in New Kingdom Egypt\,” presents textual analyses into the cultural perceptions of marital separation. This research inspired Alison’s current Doctoral work on Hieratic and Demotic correspondences written by and to women. The aim of this research is to analyze gender dynamics through linguistic methodologies. \nIn April 2024\, Alison presented her paper “A Case of Adultery\, or a Woman’s Choice to Leave? A New Interpretation for O. DeM 439” at ARCE National\, Pittsburg. This paper re-examined the transcription\, translation\, and interpretation of Ostracon DeM 439 in order to argue the case of a woman leaving a marital union. For this paper\, she was awarded First Place in the Best Student Paper Competition. \n—————— \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.
