SUMMARY:Two Lands\, Two Worlds\, One Human | International Archaeology Day
DESCRIPTION:TWO LANDS\, TWO WORLDS\, ONE HUMAN | IAD 2026 \nSATURDAY | 17 OCTOBER 2026 | 9:00–16:00 | FREE ENTRY \nArcheopark Pavlov invites you to International Archaeology Day on Saturday\, 17 October. This year’s programme will connect two seemingly distant worlds: Palaeolithic southern Moravia and Tierra del Fuego at the very southern tip of South America. The full-day programme will include guided tours\, a lecture\, an exhibition and a themed game\, all available free of charge throughout the day. \nGuided tours of the permanent exhibition will take place at 10:00\, 12:00 and 14:00\, introducing visitors to the world of the mammoth hunters who lived beneath the Pálava Hills 30\,000 years ago. \nAn important part of the programme will also be the accompanying exhibition Tierra del Fuego\, which has been on display at Archeopark Pavlov since May this year. \nThe exhibition explores the lives of the Indigenous peoples of Tierra del Fuego\, one of the most remote and harshest regions on our planet. Drawing on archaeological\, ethnological and ethnoarchaeological knowledge\, it presents their everyday lives\, subsistence strategies\, rituals and mythology. It also highlights the remarkable ability of humans to adapt to extreme conditions and reflects on how easily our first impressions of another culture can distort our ideas of what “civilisation” means. \nAt 13:00\, the programme will continue with a lecture by Jiří Svoboda\, the exhibition’s author\, who will take visitors deeper into the world of Tierra del Fuego and the themes explored in the exhibition. \nThroughout the day\, visitors will also be able to take part in a themed game directly in the exhibition\, exploring the stories of Tierra del Fuego\, and in particular the stories of travellers and researchers who set out to discover and study this distant world. The game is aimed primarily at older children and adults and offers another way to explore the subject. \nThis year\, International Archaeology Day at Archeopark Pavlov will connect two distant parts of the world and two different periods of human history. Although they are separated by thousands of kilometres and tens of thousands of years\, both bring us face to face with the human being\, their ability to adapt to their environment\, create their own culture and find ways to live and survive in the world around them. \nProgramme subject to change. The programme is conducted in Czech only.

SUMMARY:International Archaeology Day Celebration at the Passaic County Archaeology Center
DESCRIPTION:Grab your curiosity and gear up for a day of discovery at the Passaic County Archaeology Center in Ringwood\, New Jersey! We are throwing open our doors from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM for an action-packed day of hands-on history. Whether you are a lifelong history buff looking to sharpen your skills\, seeking a unique weekend outing\, or a family ready for an interactive adventure\, there is something incredible waiting for everyone. Come connect with local history\, try something completely new\, and help us celebrate the cultural treasures of our community. \nThe day begins with fresh pastries and coffee paired with a lecture introducing the world of archaeology and the hidden history buried right here in Passaic County. From there\, visitors can step behind the scenes for a guided lab and gallery tour to see exactly where real historical discoveries are analyzed and how. The excitement continues outdoors with a live flintknapping demonstration where you can watch sparks fly as stone tools are crafted by hand. Attendees can also master the compass in an interactive grid-mapping challenge\, learning exactly how to survey a site just like professional archaeologists. A realistic mock excavation sandbox offers an authentic\, hands-on dig experience\, though space is strictly limited to ten eager participants. Finally\, history enthusiasts of all ages can test their skills at an artifact mending station\, sorting and piecing together broken pottery fragments to learn how experts identify and catalog artifacts. We cannot wait to see you there!

SUMMARY:Knapping the First Tools: Teen Saturdays Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Knapping\, or chipping sharp edges into stone\, is one of the earliest known technologies. Millions of years ago\, our ancestors learned to shape stone tools for hunting and survival. In this workshop\, teens (ages 13–18) will explore how early stone tools were made and why they matter. \nWork with Dylan Flicker\, a PhD student in Archaeology\, to see how striking a rock in just the right way can turn it into a useful tool. Try your hand at safely shaping and using stone tools to understand the skill\, precision\, and problem-solving involved in this ancient technology. Participants attending this workshop should wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. \nTeen Saturdays Workshops are offered bilingually in Spanish and English. They are designed to build community and improve the museum experience for multicultural teens. Snacks provided! \n$10 fee includes free admission to all HMSC museums immediately following the workshop. \nTeens will receive a free admission pass (worth $15) for a return visit if they attend one of the three sessions. \nOctober 17: Knapping the First Tools: Teen Saturdays Workshop\nNovember 14: Making Paleolithic Cave Art\nDecember 12: Animal Stories from the Past \nPresented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.

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.

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: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. She specializes in the study of ceramics and other archaeological artifacts to explore production\, economic patterns\, and connectivity across the Byzantine Mediterranean. Since 2012\, she has worked at Ancient Corinth\, where she has directed excavations of Late Roman\, Byzantine\, and Frankish domestic and artisanal complexes. She is also involved in archaeological projects across Greece\, including research on Byzantine Sparta\, the religious complexes at Hephaestia on the island of Lemnos\, and the rural landscapes of Naxos and western Megaris. \nSYMPOSIUM SPONSORS:\nArchaeological Institute of America- Nashville Society \nADDITIONAL SYMPOSIUM SPONSORS:\nThe Parthenon\, part of Metro Parks & Recreation\, would like to thank the following organizations that provide underwriting support for its exhibition and educational programming\, including Symposia\, through grants and corporate partnerships with Centennial Park Conservancy: Amazon\, the Sandra Schatten Foundation\, HCA Healthcare Foundation\, Tennessee Arts Commission\, Hays Foundation\, and Advance Financial Foundation

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:“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.
