Oman: Crossroads of the Indian Ocean & Arabian Gulf
2022-10-06 - 2022-10-20 | KY
Oman’s Bronze Age, Iron Age, pre-Islamic, and Islamic sites are spectacular. This custom-designed itinerary with seasoned study leader Trevor Marchand delves into the historical monuments and cultural history of Oman, while also sampling the country’s great geographical diversity, from spectacular deserts and wadis to pristine coastlines, including a reserve for the endangered green sea turtle. On this program, maximize your time in-country with group flights between Muscat in the far north and Salalah in the far south. Oman was historically the link between Arabia, Africa, and South Asia. For centuries, Oman dominated the Indian Ocean’s commerce, governing Gwadar (on the coast of modern-day Pakistan) and Zanzibar. Indeed, Oman dominated the trade routes from Moorish Spain to Canton (modern-day Guangzhou, China); her ships and seafarers sailed into harbors worldwide, and her merchants traded in the commodities of civilization, such as frankincense, myrrh, silk, gold, spices, and coffee.
Today, the country takes pride in sharing its rich history with visitors, as demonstrated in its world-class museums.

The “Mummy Portraits” of Roman Egypt: Status, Ethnicity, and Magic
2022-10-06 18:00 - 19:15 (America/New_York) | Geological Lecture Hall, 24 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138, United States
Lorelei H. Corcoran, Professor of Art History; Director, Institute of Egyptian Art & Archaeology University of Memphis
In ancient Egypt, one of the final steps in the mummification process was to equip the body with a permanent face covering that helped to protect the head and also to ritually transform the deceased into a god. The earliest examples of these were stylized masks, later replaced by more realistic-looking, painted portraits. Using evidence from the archaeological record and
the Book of the Dead—a series of spells meant to guide the dead as they sought eternal life— Lorelei Corcoran will discuss the production and function of the “mummy portraits” that were popular throughout Egypt in the Roman period and what these images reveal about the religious beliefs and multi-layered ethnicities of their subjects.
Free parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage.
Presented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture in collaboration with the Harvard Art Museums
Related exhibition at the Harvard Art Museums: Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt open through December 31, 2022

About the Lecture:

After the New Kingdom, wealthy Egyptians were sent to their afterlives in dazzling decorated and inscribed coffins which were nested like Russian dolls. Our understanding of these vessels for rebirth centers on the city of Thebes, and focuses on dating the coffins through changes in their layout. Local traditions have long been neglected and assumed to be derivative of the Theban tradition; the work of artists and scribes outside of Thebes is often dismissed as “naive” or “provincial”–though, in reality, we know very little about the workshops that produced coffins, or the training of the artists and scribes who worked in them.
A large number of coffins are thought to come from the city of Akhmim, two hundred kilometers north of Thebes, and these present an excellent opportunity to characterize and evaluate a regional tradition. Unfortunately, the cemeteries of Akhmim were thoroughly plundered in the late 19th century, flooding the art market with coffins that had no find context and which can only be stylistically dated relative to similar Theban pieces.
A careful study and comparison of the artistic and scribal hands that produced these coffins opens the door to a more detailed understanding of the development of a vibrant regional style over a period of nearly seven-hundred years between the end of the New Kingdom and the beginning of the Ptolemaic period. Driving this development were artists working in multi-generational workshops. Their work expresses not only the desires of their clientele, the Akhmim elite, but the methods, training, creativity, and skill of the scribes and painters who decorated coffins at Akhmim.

About the Speaker:
Dr. Kea M. Johnston graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a PhD in Egyptology in 2022. Her PhD thesis deals with workshops that produced coffins at the Egyptian site of Akhmim in the period between 1100 and 330 BCE. She is interested in both the content and materiality of textual inscription on coffins, and Egyptian funerary art generally. She is also interested in using her skills as a software engineer to build tools that can be used for answering questions in the study of the Humanities. Kea is both a researcher and a technological lead on “The Book of the Dead in 3D” project (https://3dcoffins.berkeley.edu/) and has done fieldwork at the site of el-Hibeh with the UC Berkeley Expedition. She has taught multiple courses, including most recently an intensive summer course at Berkeley called “Digital Humanities and Archival Design” in which students learned how to build online archives while exploring the ethical issues and technical challenges surrounding digital cultural heritage.

King Midas of the Golden Touch in Context: Death, Belief, Behavior, and Society in Ancient Phrygia
2022-10-12 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Denver) | CU Museum of Natural History, Broadway, Boulder, CO, 80309, United States
Professor Elspeth Dusinberre will present her current work on the spectacular burial tumuli at Gordion (Turkey), the capital of ancient Phrygia and seat of the legendary (but historical) King Midas of the Golden Touch. This talk will consider material ranging from ca. 850-525 BCE. It will begin with Gordion’s oldest burial tumuli and look at the largest, the so-called Midas Monument, but it will focus ultimately on the last century or so of tumulus construction. The later tombs, which include both inhumations and cremations, display radical changes that reflect Gordion’s complex and shifting society. This talk will use mortuary remains to investigate such issues as power structures and display, gender, burial customs, belief in an afterlife, shifting populations, and developments in society overall in ancient Phrygia.
