SUMMARY:A Tour of Two Prehistoric Rock Effigy Mounds\, Putnam County\, GA
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, this listed event has been cancelled. We appreciate the interest shown by the few persons who inquired. The Athens Society will continue hosting public lectures in 2026-2027. \nThe Athens Society will sponsor a guided tour of two prehistoric rock effigy mounds located in Putnam County\, Georgia. Both effigy mounds are well-known archaeologically but are enigmatic is terms of their actual ages. Surveys and excavations at the effigies began in the late 19th century continuing into the 20th century. Rock Eagle and\, its lesser known near-neighbor\, Rock Hawk\, lie 30 miles apart in the Georgia Piedmont. Noted Georgia authors to include Alice Walker have written about the Rock Eagle mound. Both sites have park-like settings with viewing towers overlooking the mounds’ enclosures. Garrison and University of Georgia (UGA) colleagues\, who are society members\, have conducted non-invasive studies of the effigies in 2024-2025. He\, together with these research colleagues\, propose to enter both enclosures with tour participants to facilitate a more intimate experience. On-site drone-based mapping of an effigy will be demonstrated. Handicap access is provided at both sites with a walkway around the Rock Eagle effigy. The Rock Hawk effigy site does not have a walkway around the mound but it has a broad entryway complete with information-signage along its entire length. The site has handicap accessible restrooms and small on-site museum kiosk.

SUMMARY:Women’s Work in Abydos: Margaret Murray\, Amice Calverley and Myrtle Broome
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, invites you to attend a Zoom lecture by Dr. Kathleen Sheppard\, Missouri U. of Science and Technology: \nWomen’s Work in Abydos:\nMargaret Murray\, Amice Calverley and Myrtle Broome \nSunday\, September 20\, 2026\, 3 PM PDT\nThis meeting is virtual\, not in person. \nZoom registration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/LjEuB54-RlaCCDgV4RzTvw \nAbout the Lecture: \nIn 1902\, Margaret Alice Murray got invited to work in the field—finally. Training with Flinders Petrie for the last eight years\, she had taught plenty of students in London\, but had never been to Egypt to work herself. She spent only one season at Abydos\, working in the Osireion\, a special temple that no one had yet fully understood. Two years later\,Murray’s publication\, The Osireion at Abydos upended all previous theories about the site. By 1938\, Amice Calverley and Myrtle Broome were leaving Abydos\, having spent almost a decade copying the art in the Temple of Seti I. Their own publications\, The Temple of Sethos I at Abydos were four volumes of brilliantly painted art from the temple walls\, in exacting detail. This talk will detail the ways in which the work women did on site at Abydos in the early 20th century impacted our understanding and reception of one of the most important sites in all of ancient Egypt. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Kathleen Sheppard is a Professor in the History and Political Science department at Missouri S&T in Rolla\, Mo. She earned her MA in Egyptian Archaeology at University College London in 2002\, and her PhD in History of Science from the University of Oklahoma in 2010. Her first book was a scientific biography of Margaret Alice Murray (2013) that focused on Murray’s life and career\, both in and out of Egyptology. Sheppard has spent her career telling the stories of women in Egyptology. Her book Women in the Valley of the Kings: The Untold Story of Women Egyptologists in the Gilded Age (St. Martin’s Press\, 2024) is a grand retelling of the history of Egyptology through the work that women did. \nHow to Register: \nRegister for the lecture by clicking on this link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/LjEuB54-RlaCCDgV4RzTvw \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.

SUMMARY:SAIG 2026 Dissertation Lecture: "Remembering Collapse: Understanding Ritual at Abandoned Late Bronze Age Sites on Crete through the lens of Social Trauma Theory" with Sarah Malik Bell
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Student Affairs Interest Group for their annual Dissertation Lecture featuring Sarah Malik Bell\, who received her PhD from Brown University in 2025\, for her talk\, “Remembering Collapse: Understanding Ritual at Abandoned Late Bronze Age Sites on Crete through the lens of Social Trauma Theory” on Tuesday\, September 22nd at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT. The lecture will be held on Zoom – please register here. \n  \n \nAbstract: \nThis talk will discuss social trauma theory—a theory that is currently applied almost exclusively to social traumas originating in the contemporary moment—and its applicability to ancient archaeological contexts. Bell will discuss the ritual practices covered in her dissertation and map the periodic renewal of these practices against the material evidence for subsequent episodes of social change on the island of Crete. She will show that\, as social trauma theory allows us to predict\, embodied ritual practices became vital resources in the repeated reification of post-collapse identities during times of increased social threat on the island. She will also touch on regional variation and sociopolitical change to discuss long-term sociopolitical developments on Crete\, including the development of the Cretan Poleis. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nSarah Malik Bell\, PhD is Assistant Professor of Art History and Archaeology at Berea College. She received her PhD in archaeology from the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University\, specializing in the ritual visitation of abandoned sites associated with social trauma in both the ancient and the contemporary worlds. Her current research continues to focus on the material legacies of difficult heritage and the role these legacies play in healing and/or perpetuating past trauma.

SUMMARY:Something Old\, Something Blue: The Color of Innovation through Ancient Western Asian Seals
DESCRIPTION:Stone and clay may dominate archaeological narratives of Ancient Western Asian museum galleries\, shaping our understanding through what has survived best. Yet\, ancient craftspeople worked within a far richer material world that included glass\, glazes\, pigments\, faience\, and one of history’s earliest synthetic materials: Egyptian blue or zagindurû in Akkadian. Drawing on the Ancient Western Asian seal collection at the Morgan Library & Museum made famous by the glyptic scholarship of Edith Porada\, this lecture explores how seals can open a window into broader questions of material performance and innovation. Rather than viewing stone as the pinnacle medium in traditional hierarchies of value\, it argues for a more expansive perspective on seal materials that recognizes experimentation\, technical knowledge\, and creativity. \nDr. Pınar Durgun is an art-historically trained archaeologist with a strong background in anthropology. She has a Ph.D. from Brown University’s Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World. Dr. Durgun has worked as a researcher\, educator\, and curator at various museums including the Pergamon Museum’s Vorderasiatisches Museum in Berlin and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Her research focuses on death and burial practices\, copies and copying\, images and identity making\, materials and makers in the ancient world.

SUMMARY:The Shabaqo Stone: From Egyptian Myth to Kushite Identity
DESCRIPTION:The Shabaqo Stone is a monument that preserves some of the most important religious writings to survive from ancient Egypt. It was carved for Shabaqo\, a Kushite king who ruled Egypt during the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty (ca. 722–655 BCE). One of its central texts is the so‑called “Memphite Theology\,” which portrays the god Ptah as a universal creator who brings the world into being through the powers of thought and speech. In this talk\, Joshua Roberson will introduce the Shabaqo Stone’s historical and religious significance\, and reveal a behind-the-scenes look at the first-ever digital documentation of this remarkable monument\, carried out at the British Museum in 2019. Explore new insights\, recent discoveries\, and the cutting‑edge technologies that are transforming our understanding of one of Egypt’s most fascinating theological texts.

SUMMARY:Alexander Hollman (University of Washington): Magic\, Underworld Gods\, Competition: The Newly Published Curse Tablets of Antioch & Caesarea (Rumpakis Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Ancient curse tablets\, with texts usually scraped into thin\, soft lead sheets\, then rolled up and hidden in tombs\, wells\, or walls\, represent some of the most fascinating sources of ancient beliefs in magic and dark powers. \nCurses could target rivals in business or love\, circus charioteers racing against one’s own favorite faction\, or even a humble green grocer who had done the writer some unnamed wrong. \nProfessor Hollmann (University of Washington)\, in collaboration with Robert Daniel of the University of Cologne\, has been working on a on a two-volume edition\, translation\, and commentary of Ancient Greek lead curse tablets from ancient Antioch and Caesarea and will introduce us to some of his newest discoveries.

SUMMARY:Studying & Publishing Theban Tomb n°7: (A) Tomb of the Scribe Ramose at Deir el-Medina
DESCRIPTION:RE-SCHEDULED\nSaturday\, Sept. 26\n3:30 pm EST\nIn-person only at the Penn Museum\, Classroom L2\nNo registration required \nSpeaker: Prof. Marie-Lys Arnette\, Assistant Professor and Alexander Badawy Chair in Egyptian Art & Archaeology\, Dept. of Near Eastern Studies\, Johns Hopkins University \nTitle: Studying & Publishing Theban Tomb n°7: (A) Tomb of the Scribe Ramose at Deir el-Medina \nAbstract:\nRamose served first as “Scribe of the Place of Truth” and later as “Royal Scribe” at Deir el-Medina during the reign of Ramesses II. A prominent member of the community\, closely connected to the royal administration\, he was probably the wealthiest inhabitant the village ever knew. More than one hundred monuments associated with him have survived\, including statues\, stelae\, ostraca\, and other inscribed objects. Despite the importance of this individual\, his tombs (TT 7 and TT 212) have never been fully published\, probably because of their poor state of preservation. My current research project aims to produce the first comprehensive study and publication of both monuments. The project is accompanied by a conservation and restoration program for TT 7\, undertaken in preparation for its future opening to the public.\nThis paper focuses on TT 7. It will present the project’s main research questions and methodology\, before examining the tomb’s architecture and its remarkable decorative program. TT 7 stands out in several respects. Its paintings are of exceptional quality\, executed by one or more highly accomplished artists working within the refined artistic tradition that still characterized the early years of Ramesses II’s reign. The decoration also preserves otherwise unattested iconographic details and artistic techniques that are only rarely encountered elsewhere. The tomb’s decorative programme further testifies to the importance of the Sokar festival in the Theban region during the Ramesside period. Finally\, it contains religious texts of major significance\, including the earliest known version of the ritual text for the protection of the Neshemet bark.\nThe paper will also present the conservation and restoration strategy adopted for the monument\, discussing the methodological choices that have guided the intervention in view of its future accessibility to visitors. By combining archaeological research\, art historical analysis\, and the history of religions\, the project seeks to provide a new foundation for the study and long-term preservation of one of the most remarkable monuments of Ramesside Deir el-Medina. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Marie-Lys Arnette studied at the École du Louvre (History of Art and Museology) and at the University of Paris-Sorbonne (Egyptology). After completing her PhD\, she served as Director of Publications and then as Scientific Member at the Institut français d’archéologie orientale (Ifao\, Cairo). Before joining Johns Hopkins University\, she taught Egyptian art history\, archaeology\, and Middle Egyptian language at the École du Louvre (France)\, the University Lumière Lyon 2 (France)\, and the University of Fribourg (Switzerland). She is a member of the Archaeological Mission at the Precinct of the Goddess Mut in South Karnak (JHU/Liverpool University) and of the Mission for the Study and Restoration of Deir el-Medina (Ifao).\nHer research falls within the field of historical anthropology\, approached through cultural history\, with particular interests in perceptions of the body and emotions\, food practices\, funerary imagery\, and\, more recently\, ludic practices. Across diverse topics\, her work consistently combines Egyptian textual sources\, iconography\, and material culture within a long-term perspective. Her research is characterized by a sustained engagement with interdisciplinary approaches drawn from the humanities and social sciences\, a perspective that is also central to her teaching. \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:Lives Beneath the City: Archaeology at Indianapolis’ Greenlawn Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Construction of the Henry Street Bridge brought renewed attention to portions of Indianapolis’ historic Old and New Burying Grounds\, later known collectively as Greenlawn Cemetery.\nArchaeologists documented more than 1\,700 burial shafts within the project area\, revealing a complex landscape shaped by nineteenth-century burial\, earlier relocation efforts\, and more than a century of urban development. This talk explores how archaeology\, bioarchaeology\, historical research\, and community collaboration are helping reconstruct the cemetery’s history and the lives of the people buried there\, while guiding their respectful care and eventual reburial.

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Screening: Homer\, Hollywood\, and Historical Context
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussion of the Archaeology Hour talk by Eric Cline (George Washington University). \nTwo movies\, twenty-two years apart: Wolfgang Peterson’s Troy with Brad Pitt in 2004\, and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey with Matt Damon in 2026. Discussions swirling around both have centered on faithfulness to Homer’s original stories\, but what about the actual historical context and content? This lecture will briefly put these two movies\, which have brought Homer’s epics to the silver screen\, into historical context by discussing what we know (or think we know) about the end of the Late Bronze Age\, the identity of the Sea Peoples\, whether there was actually a Trojan Horse\, and other questions that are likely to have come up around the dinner table. \nThis event is free and open to the public.
