SUMMARY:Spooky Archaeology: Myth and the Science of the Past
DESCRIPTION:The first presentation in the AIA Dayton 2026-27 Lecture Series presented by Dr. Jeb Card\, Associate Teaching Professor in Anthropology at Miami University\, Oxford\, Ohio sponsored by an AIA R.S. Webster Lectureship grant. \nOutside of scientific journals\, archaeologists are depicted as searching for lost cities and mystical artifacts in news reports\, television\, video games\, and movies like Indiana Jones or The Mummy. This fantastical image has little to do with day-to-day science\, yet it is deeply connected to why people are fascinated by the ancient past. People today continue to find the mystical and archaeology and have a fascination with exotic artifacts and eerie practices. Exploring the development of archaeology helps us understand what archaeology is and why it matters. In this presentation by Jeb J. Card\, the audience will follow a trail of clues left by adventurers and professional archaeologists through haunted museums\, mysterious hieroglyphic inscriptions\, fragments of a lost continent that never existed\, and deep into an investigation of magic and murder. \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 our Dayton Society members this lecture is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Medicalized technologies: ingredient patterns in ancient Egyptian therapeutic recipes as informants on food processing diversity
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, and the UC Berkeley Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures (MELC) invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Jonathan (Jonny) Russell\, Brown University: \n“Medicalized technologies: ingredient patterns in ancient Egyptian therapeutic recipes as informants on food processing diversity” \nFriday October 23\, 2026\, 4 PM Pacific Daylight Time\nNote the time and day change!!!\nMELC Lounge/Rm 254 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\, UC Berkeley \nThis is a hybrid lecture\, both in-person and virtual (Zoom). The lecture will not be recorded.\nMELC is not requiring registration\, so to attend this lecture\, click on the following join link at the time of the lecture:\nhttps://berkeley.zoom.us/j/2071243853?pwd=1dq3SwaoPnJCLGwKQs1sbTLG4Nobd0.1 \nAbout the Lecture: \nMuch has been written on ancient Egyptian food processing technologies\, especially in the domains of brewing and baking (for which Samuel 2000 remains a valued survey). Certain aspects of these technologies\, such as the varieties of yeast cultures used\, remain somewhat elusive. Others\, such as milk processing\, have received little to no attention. These lacunae are\, in many cases\, the result of the kinds of source material commonly consulted to elucidate ancient processes – tomb depictions and archaeological remains being chief among them. Notably\, medical texts list a wealth of food or food-adjacent products as ingredients in medicinal recipes but have been less appreciated in understanding food processing. The many constellations of ingredients are\, after all\, notoriously challenging if not impossible to translate\, and modern analyses are often mired by a compulsion to identify pharmacological activity as the primary motivation for their initial selection. \nThis lecture takes a fresh look at these problems. It will first explore a sample of representative manuscripts\, such as Papyrus Hearst (in Berkeley!)\, Ebers\, and a demotic manuscript in Vienna: all of which are compilations of recipes\, or “recipe compendia”. It will then examine the social and ritual contexts of the recipes recorded in these manuscripts\, to better understand both by and for whom the recipes were used. Following a careful analysis of recipe data\, the new hypothesis that many entries can be considered “medicalized” receptions of known processing technologies will be presented and explored. Focusing on recipes that manipulate brewing and cheese processing as case studies\, the lecture will demonstrate how aspects of these processes are “fossilized” in various ways within medicalized recipes. In addition to offering new insights into healing practices\, the presented results suggest more significant variety in food processing than presently assumed. \nAbout the Speaker: \nSince 2024\, Jonathan (Jonny) Russell has been assistant professor of Egyptology at Brown University\, where he teaches classes in ancient Egyptian history\, Middle and Late Egyptian\, hieratic\, and demotic\, as well as in Egyptian and Mesopotamian medicine and magic. Armed with a knowledge of Akkadian\, his research explores the similarities and differences in contents and social contexts of healing manuscripts from Egypt and Mesopotamia\, and how observations modify impressions of knowledge transmission across ancient communities in Northeast Africa and Western Asia. He is presently working on a monograph titled Variety and Versatility in Ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian Specialist Healing: A Comparative Study\, in addition to a new English-language anthology of therapeutic compendia from Middle Kingdom to Roman Period Egypt. \nJonny submitted his PhD thesis to Leiden University (The Netherlands) in 2023 – a project which was funded by the Dutch Scientific Research Organisation (NWO) and titled: Towards a Historical Contextualisation of Ancient Egyptian Perspectives of the Inner Body\, Sickness\, and Healing. Before coming to Brown\, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for the History of Pharmacy and Medicine at the Philipps-Universität Marburg (Germany)\, where he began exploring the intersections between food and therapeutic technologies. \nVisitor Parking: \nKeep in mind that restricted parking at UC Berkeley ends at 5 p.m. For Friday\, October 23\, 2026\, here are the best visitor-parking options near UC Berkeley’s Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall): Lower Sproul Parking Garage\, 2465 Bancroft Way; RSF Garage\, 2299 Bancroft Way.

SUMMARY:Luxury from the Provinces: Reading Morality on the Walls of a Roman Villa
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our second event of the Fall 2026 cycle. Event description from the author:\nRoman writers often condemned luxury in domestic art. Drawing on repairs to the decor of Villa A at Oplontis\, one of the grandest complexes on the Bay of Naples\, Dr. Andrew Crocker explores how older\, austere styles and inexpensive local pigments could become a deliberate performance of Roman humility and virtue. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Andrew Crocker is Assistant Professor of Art History in the Department of Art History and Museum Studies at Florida Southern College. His research focuses on the social and political significance of Roman art\, especially the role of art in negotiating identity and status in the Roman provinces.

SUMMARY:Revelation & Archaeology at Sardis
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exploration of the archaeological history of an ancient capital that became a historic Christian city. \nSardis\, a UNESCO World Heritage site\, is known from the Bible as one of the seven cities of Revelation. But before that\, it was the capital of Lydia\, a legendary ancient empire where coinage was first invented. Excavations at this ancient Turkish city have revealed major changes in pagan sanctuaries during the fourth and fifth centuries AD—a period shaped by the recognition and spread of Christianity in the eastern Roman Empire. \nFor the last 18 years\, University of Wisconsin– Madison professor Nick Cahill has directed the excavations at Sardis. In this lecture\, he will reflect on what he has learned through decades of fieldwork.

SUMMARY:The Many Lives of Theban Tomb 16
DESCRIPTION:The ancient Egyptian tomb known as Theban Tomb 16 dates to the reign of Ramesses II in the Nineteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom (around 1250 BCE). Originally\, it served as the burial place of a priest named Panehsy and his wife\, Tarenu\, a chantress. Long after their lifetimes\, the tomb remained an important resting place and was reused for more than a thousand years by members of the Theban elite. By the late-nineteenth or early-twentieth twentieth century\, the tomb had been looted\, and it suffered further plundering in the 1970s. Since 2008\, however\, a team from the University of Memphis has been working to document and conserve both the tomb and its many secondary burials. In this program\, Egyptologist Suzanne Onstine will present the latest research on the tomb’s beautifully painted plaster scenes\, exploring what they reveal about life in ancient Egypt as well as funerary culture during the first millennium BCE. \nFree admission. Free event parking is available with registration. Register by October 20 to receive parking registration instructions. Presented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science and Culture.

SUMMARY:Jacob Lauinger - The Assyrian Siege of Jerusalem: History as Metaphor and Simile
DESCRIPTION:Jacob Lauinger\, Johns Hopkins University\nGilman Hall room 50\nThe Assyrian Siege of Jerusalem: History as Metaphor and Simile\nIn 701 BCE\, the Assyrian army besieged the city of Jerusalem. Different narratives describing this siege are preserved both in the Hebrew Bible and also in the Assyrian king Sennacherib’s own royal annals. In this lecture\, we will look at the Judahite and Assyrian accounts of the siege\, focusing on their differences. Comparing the two accounts\, we will ask not just if we can determine “what actually happened\,” but also why the ancient scribes on either side of the conflict narrated their histories of this same event in these different ways.

SUMMARY:“Sex in the Roman Arena”
DESCRIPTION:A lecture in celebration of International Archaeology Day by Alison Futrell\, Professor of History at the University of Arizona. Futrell’s research is guided by her interest in the performance and imagery of power in the Roman Empire\, with particular focus on spectacle and gender. She is also fascinated by representations of the ancient Mediterranean in modern popular culture. Her talk tackles the sexualized nuances of the arena\, touching on the relative masculinity of gladiators as a group\, within Roman society\, as well as the how the different styles of combat demonstrated different levels of virility. And what about female performers? How did spectacularization of sex enhance demonstrations of moral and political authority by imperial sponsors? Women in the arena attracted the audience’s focus and disrupted messages of imperial power and challenged audience assumptions about strength\, about blood\, and about humanity.

SUMMARY:Life of a Medieval Village: The Town of Nebo in the Byzantine and Early Islamic Periods.
DESCRIPTION:From the 5th through the 8th centuries\, the Nebo region became the home of numerous religious and secular communities. The region was dotted with both ascetic and communal monasteries that were interspersed with larger urban centres and smaller rural villages. By focusing on the results of the 2026 field season of the Town of Nebo Archaeological Project\, this lecture will explore how these different communities may have interacted with and benefitted from each other. \nSpeaker: Debra Foran (Wilfred Laurier University) – specialist in the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods in the southern Levant

SUMMARY:Discovering Byzantine Corinth and Its People
DESCRIPTION:Discovering Byzantine Corinth and Its People \nJoin AIA-Nashville Society for a free virtual talk on Sunday\, October 18\, at 11 AM Central. This Virtual Symposium is free and open to the public. It will be recorded. Register on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_EZz5ABV4RJu6psOXovgnZQ#/registration \nABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM:\nAncient Corinth is renowned as one of Greece’s most iconic archaeological sites\, famous above all for its Classical and Roman past. Yet the city remained an important urban center for centuries afterward\, evolving throughout the Byzantine period (4th-13th centuries CE). Drawing on recent archaeological research and excavations\, this talk examines how material culture\, including pottery\, stone vessels\, tools\, and evidence of craft production and long-distance exchange\, illuminates the lives of Byzantine Corinthians. These objects reveal a dynamic community that continued to produce\, trade\, and adapt to changing political\, economic\, and social realities long after the city’s famous Classical and Roman monuments were built. Looking beyond those monuments reveals a rich and often overlooked medieval chapter in the history of one of Greece’s most celebrated archaeological sites and demonstrates why Byzantine Corinth deserves a place in the broader story of Greek history. This lecture is sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA)- Nashville Society. \nRegister: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_EZz5ABV4RJu6psOXovgnZQ#/registration \nABOUT THE SPEAKER:\nDr. Rossana Valente is a Byzantine archaeologist whose research focuses on households and the technological\, social\, and cultural practices of medieval societies\, with particular attention to material culture.

SUMMARY:Annual Cyprus Event: Cyprus at the Center of the Mediterranean Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:This lecture places Cyprus as a central cultural landscape in the ancient Mediterranean\, demonstrating how this large island shaped regional networks of trade\, technology\, and ritual practice from the Neolithic to the Late Roman period. \nJoin Anastasia Christophilopoulou\, George D. and Margo Behrakis Chair of Ancient Greece and Rome at The Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, and faculty of Classics at University of Cambridge\, to learn how major archaeological discoveries\, new field research\, and the advancement of scientific techniques—from residue studies to ancient DNA analysis—have reshaped our understandings of Cyprus\, painting a more dynamic\, relational\, and interdisciplinary picture of the island’s evolution. \nThis lecture will also explore how museum initiatives that focus on tracing the movement of materials\, ideas\, and art forms\, are now crucially asking how island communities negotiated identity\, power\, and memory. Ultimately\, we will examine how research in the past\, or current community-driven work\, can bridge themes of identity\, connectivity\, and belonging. \n*This lecture is free and open to the public.\n**Registration is required. \nThe Michael C. Carlos Museum’s Annual Cyprus Event is funded through the generous support of Christo and Susan Makrides\, and is programed in partnership with the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Cyprus in Georgia.

SUMMARY:New Insights into the Ancient Landscape of Abydos and the Early Town of Abydos
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, Oct. 17\nInternational Archaeology Day Event!\n3:30 pm EST\nIn-person only at the Penn Museum\, Classroom L2\nNo registration required \nSpeaker: Dr. Sameh Iskander\, Co-Director of the New York University mission to the temple of Ramesses II in Abydos \nTitle: New Insights into the Ancient Landscape of Abydos and the Early Town of Abydos \nAbstract:\nIn this lecture\, I will share our recent archaeological findings at Abydos\, conducted under the auspices of New York University-ISAW. Our work has uncovered significant insights into the ancient landscape of Abydos\, spanning several key periods during the Late Old Kingdom\, Ramessides\, and Late Antiquity.\nOne of our noteworthy findings is a massive mud brick enclosure wall dated to the Late Old Kingdom\, which runs under parts of the temples of Ramesses II and Ramesses IV and extends further north. This wall includes a well-preserved limestone gateway. Excavations within this enclosure space revealed two mud brick houses dating to the late Sixth Dynasty. Additionally\, in a separate area within this enclosure to the south\, we unearthed a large number of kilns\, all dated also to the same period. These findings provide compelling evidence of an early Sixth Dynasty town situated on the edge of the Abydos floodplain.\nElsewhere to the south\, we conducted comprehensive excavations and restorations of the entire precinct surrounding Ramesses II’s temple. Our research revealed that the temple precinct was occupied almost continuously from the time of its construction in the thirteenth century B.C. until the eighth century A.D. providing fascinating insights into the subsequent historical periods. I’ll also briefly review the restoration work at the temple of Ramesses IV.\nDated to a much later period\, we uncovered a late 5th-century A.D. mud brick church that showcases early Coptic architectural style\, adding another layer to site’s long history data and its evolving landscape through the ages. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Sameh Iskander is a Research Associate and co-Director of the New York University-Institute for the Study of the Ancient World Expedition to the Temple of Ramses II in Abydos. He is the co-author of three books (with Dr. Ogden Goelet) entitled The Temple of Ramesses II in Abydos Volumes 1\, 2 and 3 (Lockwood Press 2015\, 2021\, and 2022). He is also the editor of two books entitled Archeological Discoveries at the Temple of Ramesses II in Abydos\, Volumes 1 and 2 (Lockwood Press 2025\, and 2026). \nDr. Iskander received his PhD from New York University in Ancient Egyptian History and culture. His main research and publications are primarily concerned with the archeology and history of the ancient Egyptian Ramesside Period. More recently\, he also focused on the history and archeology of the ancient Egyptian settlements during the Late Old Kingdom and First Intermediate Period. Dr. Iskander is also a civil engineer\, with a BS from Cairo University\, Egypt and MS in engineering from the New York University-Polytechnic Institute. \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. 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.
