SUMMARY:Recent Research at the Abó and Quaraí Units of Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument
DESCRIPTION:Lecture. Emily Brown (Aspen CRM Solutions). Aspen CRM Solutions recently completed archaeological surveys of the monument units surrounding the Tompiro pueblo of Abó and the Tiwa pueblo of Quaraí at Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument near Mountainair\, New Mexico\, both of which contain the remains of a large pueblo and a Spanish Colonial mission. The occupation sequences for both are now much better understood\, and detailed ceramic analyses have allowed us to identify the general construction sequences for the various roomblocks at both pueblos. We also have a much better understanding of the use of the surrounding landscape by different groups over time. The presentation summarizes the findings of the surveys and discusses the results of the associated research.

SUMMARY:Emily Egan\, “20\,000 Leagues Under the Wine-Dark Sea”
DESCRIPTION:“20\,000 Leagues Under the Wine-Dark Sea”\nDr. Emily C. Egan\, Assistant Professor of Ancient Eastern Mediterranean Art and Archaeology\, Art History and Archaeology at the University of Maryland \nFebruary 18\, 2025\n7:30 p.m. ET\nDavidson College\nBelk Visual Arts Center 117\nDavidson\, NC \nFREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC \nAbout the lecture:\nThis lecture takes a deep “dive” into depictions of marine life in the art of Late Bronze Age Greece (ca. 1600–1100 BCE). Amid a survey of sea creatures including octopods\, dolphins\, and fish\, special attention is given to the enigmatic argonaut motif and its appearance in the wall paintings of the Mycenaean ‘Palace of Nestor’ at Pylos. At the time of their discovery\, painted argonauts – pelagic cephalopods that grow their own shells – were classed among the site’s purely decorative designs on account of their fanciful coloration and stiff presentation in single-file lines like elements in a modern wallpaper border. New research at the Palace of Nestor\, however\, suggests that argonauts were not simple ornaments but powerful royal symbols\, on par with more fearsome Aegean “totems” like lions and griffins. This lecture presents this new theory and the evidence that underpins it\, and also demonstrates how the painted forms of the creatures\, when viewed closely\, offer rare insight into the thought processes and working methods of Greek Bronze Age artists. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Emily C. Egan (Assistant Professor of Ancient Eastern Mediterranean Art and Archaeology\, Art History and Archaeology at the University of Maryland) is an Aegean prehistorian and field archaeologist. She holds a dual B.A. in Classics and Old World Archaeology and Art from Brown University\, an M.Phil. in Archaeology from the University of Cambridge\, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Classics from the University of Cincinnati. Her research focuses on artistic practice in the Bronze Age Aegean\, and particularly on the production\, consumption\, and iconography of Mycenaean painted surface decoration. She has undertaken archaeological fieldwork in Italy\, Turkey\, Jordan\, Armenia\, Cyprus\, and most recently in Greece\, where she is currently studying wall and floor painting assemblages from the Palace of Nestor at Pylos\, and the Petsas House\, Mycenae.

SUMMARY:Worshiping the Ancestors in Egypt’s Tell Edfu
DESCRIPTION:Nadine Moeller\, Professor of Egyptology\, Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations\, Yale University \nTell Edfu\, in southern Egypt\, is an ancient Egyptian city that was occupied for nearly 3\,000 years. This lecture explores recent discoveries at Tell Edfu\, focusing on an elite residential complex from around 1550 BCE. Among the highlights is a large villa containing a rare and well-preserved example of a domestic shrine dedicated to family ancestors. Nadine Moeller will discuss the objects found in the shrine and their significance in private religious practices of the time. She will also provide an overview of other buildings from the same period—including a food production facility\, further enriching our understanding of daily life in early New Kingdom Tell Edfu. \nFree admission. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Presented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture. \nPhoto © Alberto Urcia\, Tell Edfu Project

SUMMARY:Stress\, Sex\, and Death: Health and Survival in the Context of Medieval Famine and Plague presented by Dr. Sharon DeWitte
DESCRIPTION:In the 14th-century\, Afro-Eurasia was struck by a devastating pandemic of bubonic plague\, now often called the Black Death\, that killed an estimated 30-60% of some affected populations. Dr. DeWitte will discuss her bioarchaeological research\, focusing on the skeletal remains of people who died before\, during\, and after the Black Death in London\, England. This work aims to clarify the biosocial factors that shaped vulnerability to historical plague mortality and deepen the temporal scope of understanding of the syndemic interactions that shape epidemic disease experiences and outcomes. Analysis of demographic trends before and after the Black Death in London has revealed evidence of declines in life expectancies and\, by inference\, health for people before the Black Death\, but improvements in health afterwards. Examination of patterns of skeletal indicators of stress reveal differences between males and females\, which might reflect variation in sensitivity to stressors or differences in dietary resources in the aftermath of the Black Death. Dr. DeWitte will highlight future directions in medieval plague bioarchaeology\, including analyses of the potential effects of migration on population-level patterns of health in the context of famine and plague.

SUMMARY:Kushite Royal Priestesses in the House of the God
DESCRIPTION:ZOOM lecture\nSaturday\, February 22\, 3:30 pm EST\nRegistration Required: https://arce.org/event/arce-pa-kushite-royal-priestesses-in-the-house-of-the-god-by-debora-heard/ \nSpeaker: Debora Heard \nTitle: Kushite Royal Priestesses in the House of the God \nAbstract:\nFollowing Egypt’s conquest of all of Nubia in the 18th Dynasty\, one of the ways these New Kingdom rulers expressed their dominance over the region was through the construction of religious temples at various sites in Upper and Lower Nubia. It is not known whether the Nubians continued to operate these temples after regaining their independence around 1\,050 BCE. However\, there is evidence that by the time the Kushite king Piankhy left his capital in Upper Nubia to take control of Egypt as the founder of the 25th Dynasty\, at least some of the Amun temples in Nubia were operational. The worship of the god Amun and the incorporation of Egyptian culture and ideology of kingship were the bases for the legitimate establishment of Kushite rule over Egypt. Yet\, even in apparently “Egyptian-looking” contexts\, these Kushite rulers displayed their own cultural particularities. One of these was the prominent role of women in religious contexts. \nIn the religious temples of the reigning kings and queens of Kush\, we see that it was not only the ruler who was responsible for performing rituals for the gods but also other members of the royal family. In particular\, royal women as priestesses were depicted performing various roles in temple scenes or recorded in royal texts. This lecture will analyze the iconographic\, textual\, and archaeological data to explore what their roles and responsibilities were in ensuring the successful fulfillment of the royal responsibilities to the gods. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDebora Heard is a Ph.D. Candidate in Anthropology at the University of Chicago specializing in Nubian archaeology and Egyptian history and language.

SUMMARY:Living in a culture of the past; the life and work of a scribe in Hellenistic Uruk
DESCRIPTION:The figure of the scribe looms large in our understanding of the culture and history of ancient Mesopotamia. Scribes composed\, copied\, edited\, and collated the thousands of cuneiform tablets that are such a rich source of information on the ancient past. But what can be learned from examining the career of an individual scribe? “Living in a Culture of the Past: The Life and Work of a Scribe in Hellenistic Uruk” is a microhistorical study of the life and work of a particular scribe who lived in the southern Mesopotamian city of Uruk in the time of Alexander the Great. His name was Iqīšā\, the son of Ištar-šum-ereš\, of the Ekur-zakir clan. This talk reconstructs Iqīšā’s career as a scribe\, ritual expert\, and teacher\, examines the ways that Iqīšā identified himself in the traditional cuneiform texts that he copied\, and demonstrates how the study of a single ancient individual’s life and work can lead to productive new insights about continuity\, change\, and power in Babylonia in the fourth century BCE. \nBy Dr. Abigail Hoskins Research Scholar

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Livestream: Zainab Bahrani. “Toward an Archaeology of Preservation”
DESCRIPTION:The history of archaeology as a scientific discipline has received a great deal of attention in recent years. As a result of extensive archival research and the reading of archives against the grain\, alternative or indigenous archaeologies and earlier forms of relationships to the past—such as antiquarianism—have also begun to receive more serious scholarly attention. Since the 1990s\, Zainab Bahrani’s scholarship has contributed to these historical directions in archaeology. She now augments archival and theoretical work with fieldwork\, presenting some of the archaeological evidence of millennia of preservation and conservation practices in the landscape of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan. Please join us in-person to watch this live-streamed Zoom lecture. \nLocation: Whitman College campus\, Maxey Hall\, room 207.

SUMMARY:Life and Death along the Nile: Tales from the Tombs of Tombos
DESCRIPTION:Beginning around 1500BC\, the New Kingdom Egyptian Empire expanded its reach into the territory of its southern neighbor\, Nubia\, in search of resources such as gold and cattle. Over the next few hundred years\, interactions between the ancient Egyptians and Nubians would include violent encounters\, trade and exchange\, political relationships\, and the establishment of interethnic communities. One Egyptian colonial community established in Nubia\, Tombos\, spans the period from Egyptian expansion through the empire’s decline\, allowing for rare perspective on this time of sociopolitical transition. In her talk\, Professor Michele Buzon will explore the processes of change and consequences of contact for the people who once lived at Tombos. Evidence for disease stress\, nutritional deficiencies\, immigration from Egypt to Nubia\, and biological relatedness between inhabitants will be presented. Osteobiographies of specific individuals from Tombos will be described to highlight how the rich archaeological record can be used to understand past societies.

SUMMARY:CFP: JIAAW Spring Symposium 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World (JIAAW) is accepting collaborative proposals for a symposium to be held in the spring semester of 2026. Joukowsky symposia are one- or two-day affairs organized around a topic relevant to the central mission of the Institute. This includes a core strength in archaeological and allied approaches to the study of the ancient Mediterranean and the Near East\, complemented by scholarship focused on the ancient Americas and East Asian antiquity. Proposals should focus on either: 1) a geographical area of particular relevance to the JIAAW; or 2) a methodology or theme relevant to JIAAW research\, while bringing together scholars working in a variety of regions\, including (but not limited to) those relevant to the JIAAW. \nProposals should be submitted by a pair of scholars who practice in relevant disciplines\, at least one of whom must hold a Ph.D. At least one organizer should be based outside Brown University; the other should be a JIAAW Academic Faculty member\, Faculty Fellow\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, or Ph.D. candidate or Graduate Student Fellow (ABD status only\, in both cases). Proposal authors will serve as the organizers of the symposium\, which will be held at Rhode Island Hall\, the home of the JIAAW at Brown University. The JIAAW will cover all programming costs related to the event\, including costs of travel and lodging for symposium organizers and all speakers at the event. JIAAW symposia typically have budgets of $15\,000 to $30\,000 and involve a mix of local\, national\, and international scholars. \nSymposium organizers are encouraged to identify why the symposium is a good fit for the JIAAW and Brown University more broadly and to develop a plan for publication of the symposium\, either in a special issue of a journal or an edited volume. \nThe proposal should include the following:\n● A one- to two-page narrative outlining the scope and aims of the symposium and its potential impact on scholarship on archaeology and the ancient world\n● A bibliography of relevant sources cited in the proposal (no more than 2 pages)\n● A list of the names of 8-12 proposed speakers\, including their current academic or professional affiliations\n● Curriculum vitae of both organizers \nProposals will be evaluated by a committee of JIAAW Academic Faculty based on the following criteria:\n● Innovativeness\n● Potential impact on scholarship related to archaeology and the ancient world\, including publication plans\n● The synergy of the proposed lineup of speakers relative to the proposed topics\n● The symposium’s relevance to the central mission of the JIAAW and potential links to other ongoing academic initiatives at Brown University\n● The relevant experience of the organizers\, their history of publication\, and prior experience planning and overseeing conferences. \nA successful proposal will demonstrate capacity to meaningfully impact scholarship on a particular topic\, help create or support meaningful partnerships with colleagues at other institutions\, while also enriching the greater intellectual community of archaeology and the ancient world at Brown University. \nThe 2026 symposium is being considered a pilot event and if successful will lead to further calls for supported symposia in the future. Questions and completed proposals should be directed to jiaaw@brown.edu. For full consideration\, please submit proposals by March 3\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Blending Art\, Minds\, and Artifacts: Understanding How We See What We See by  Maurizio Forte
DESCRIPTION:Maurizio Forte\, Ph.D.\, Duke University \nThis event is kindly hosted by the Embassy of Italy\, Washington\, D.C. \nIn the DC-area and wish to attend in person? Register here: https://embassyofitaly2.swoogo.com/etruscanAI \nThis lecture looks at how art\, archaeology\, and artificial intelligence come together\, focusing on how our\nminds perceive and understand ancient artifacts. It also explores how experiencing historic spaces can en-\ncourage cultural exchange. Using AI tools like neural networks\, we can rethink archaeological sites and monuments as ever-changing\nrather than fixed objects\, evolving each time they are observed and interpreted. Examples include the fa-\nmous Etruscan Sarcophagus of the Spouses (housed at the Museum of Villa Giulia in Rome)\, which has now\nbeen digitally reconstructed using AI models and brainwave (EEG) analysis to study how people respond to\nvirtual simulations. By combining AI and biometric tools to measure engagement\, this approach shows how\ntechnology can help us see the ancient world in new ways. Dr. Forte challenges us to think differently about\nwhat it means to view something\, suggesting that seeing is an active process that creates rich\, layered sto-\nries shaped by memory\, context\, and technology. \nA pioneer in digital and cyberarchaeology\, Maurizio Forte is the William and Sue Gross Distinguished Pro-\nfessor of Classical Studies Art\, Art History\, and Visual Studies at Duke University in Durham\, North Carolina.\nJoining in the discussion following the talk will be P. Gregory Warden\, Ph.D.\, president of the Etruscan\nFoundation\, who has worked in Mediterranean archaeology for over 50 years.

SUMMARY:Society Sunday 2025 Public Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Communal Government and Forms of Dependency in the K’iche’ State \nJoin us as the AIA Societies Committee presents a virtual presentation and Q&A with Iyaxel Cojtí Ren. This presentation will also be available in American Sign Language. \nIn the Maya highlands during the Late Postclassic period (1250-1524 CE)\, the K’iche’ created an expansive state able to subdue various nations and form a network of dependent polities. Join archaeologist Iyaxel Cojtí Ren as she explains how the key to this lies in the K’iche’ forms of local community organization and how they were integrated into the larger K’iche’ political unit. \nLearn about the most common forms of community organization: chinamit and amaq’. Their members practiced communal solidarity and forms of communal government\, which were vital for reproduction\, problem-solving\, and territorial defense. The K’iche’ state’s strength resulted from incorporating these communities\, chinamit and amaq’\, and adopting some of their values and forms of government. For example\, in the Colonial-period K’iche’ texts\, the term tzuq “to sustain\, to feed” appears frequently to describe the relationship of mutual dependence that existed between rulers and K’iche’ communities. This means that the rulers also had obligations to take care of the population under their authority. And while reciprocity between rulers and those they ruled was far from equal\, the communal form of government employed by the K’iche’ allowed representatives of the people to exert sufficient influence to prevent oppressive rulers and defend the people’s interests. \nIyaxel Cojtí Ren\, originally from Chichicastenango\, Guatemala\, is a K’iche’ cultural archaeologist. Iyaxel completed her PhD in the department of anthropology at Vanderbilt University in Nashville\, TN. Since 2021\, she has worked as an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin. She serves as director of the Baja Verapaz Regional Archaeological Project (PARBEZ) and as co-investigator of the Mayalex Project. Her research and publications focus primarily on the archaeology\, history\, and culture of the Maya highland nations of Guatemala\, especially from the Postclassic period. Cojtí Ren received a fellowship from the Newberry Library in Chicago for 2024-2025 to focus on her forthcoming publications. \nThe lecture will also be available in American Sign Language and we will also enable auto captioning on Zoom. Due to Zoom limitations on mobile devices and tablets\, participants interested in accessing ASL interpretation should log in using the desktop version of Zoom.
