SUMMARY:Amelia Edwards’ United States Lecture Tour and the Beginnings of American Egyptology
DESCRIPTION:ANNUAL KORSYN LECTURE\nIn-Person Lecture\nSaturday\, March 29 at 3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Kathleen Sheppard \nLecture Topic: Amelia Edwards’ United States Lecture Tour and the Beginnings of American Egyptology \nAbstract:\nOn a cold November evening in 1889\, Amelia Edwards took the stage at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in Brooklyn\, New York. The lecture she gave to 2\,400 people that night\, entitled “The buried cities of Ancient Egypt\,” was a success. Over the next four months\, Edwards gave over 100 lectures all over the northeastern US\, and as far West as Chicago and Minneapolis\, exciting interest in Egypt everywhere she went. Alongside her every step of the way was her secretary\, assistant\, hair and makeup artist\, and friend\, Kate Bradbury. \nOften we talk about Egyptology in the US beginning in Chicago with the Cairo exhibit on the Midway at the World Columbian Exhibition in 1892. Or we say interest in Egypt began when the University of Chicago was founded\, with a department and a museum dedicated to the subject\, in 1895. Others place importance in the earlier collections\, like the Abbott Collection in New York as early as the 1860s. However\, using Bradbury’s letters home during the tour\, newspaper reports\, Edwards’ lectures\, and other contemporaneous materials\, I argue that it wasn’t wealthy men who started building Egyptological institutions in the US. Instead\, the catalyst for widespread public interest in Egyptology in the United States was the initial encounters with ancient Egypt made possible by a women-led lecture tour in the winter of 1889-90. \nObviously these women did not travel a thousand miles on the Hudson River\, but they easily traversed that distance in the time they were in the US\, speaking to and meeting with influential people across the country. This presentation will outline the journey of Amelia Edwards and Kate Bradbury and the impact they had on the Egyptology in the US. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Kathleen Sheppard is a Professor in the History and Political Science department at Missouri S&T in Rolla\, Missouri. 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. She has spent her whole career telling the stories of women in Egyptology. Her most recent book\, Women in the Valley of the Kings: The Untold Story of Women Egyptologists in the Gilded Age (St. Martins Press\, 2024) is a grand retelling of the history of Egyptology through the work that women did. \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. For more information or to learn about the perks of membership\, please send an e-mail to info@arce-pa.org\, or visit our website at www.arce-pa.org.

SUMMARY:Hybrid lecture: Teotihuacan: Origins\, Urbanism\, and Daily Life
DESCRIPTION:2025 Gordon R. Willey Lecture \nDavid M. Carballo\, Professor of Anthropology\, Archaeology\, and Latin American Studies\, Boston University \nTeotihuacan\, one of the largest cities in the world over 1\,500 years ago\, stands today as a premier archaeological site and a powerful symbol of Mexico’s precolonial heritage. Despite its enduring fame and millions of annual visitors\, much remains misunderstood about the Teotihuacanos who built and inhabited this extraordinary city. This lecture delves into the intricate history of Teotihuacan\, exploring its rise as a multiethnic metropolis and a center of innovation. David Carballo will examine the city’s immediate antecedents and urbanization\, its unique architectural hallmark of apartment-style living\, and the dynamic networks of migration and cultural exchange that shaped its identity. By connecting the iconic pyramids to the daily lives of the city’s inhabitants\, this talk offers a deeper understanding of one of the ancient world’s most fascinating urban centers. \nFree event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Advance registration recommended for in-person and online attendance \nPresented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and Harvard Museums of Science & Culture in collaboration with the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies\, Harvard University. \nPhoto: Jennifer Carballo

SUMMARY:The Paracas Phenomenon in the Andes (First Millennium BCE): Social Materiality and the Perspective from the Chincha Valley\, Peru
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 3 (12pm-1:30 pm) Penn State is excited to host the Peruvian archaeologist Dr. Henry Tantaleán to talk about the Andean archaeological phenomenon of Paracas (First Millennium BCE) and his ongoing research on the Chincha Valley. Dr. Tantaleán is a Professor of Archaeology at the oldest university in the Americas\, the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos\, and is the former curator of that university’s archaeological museum\, founded by the pioneering archaeologist Julio César Tello in the late 1910s. Dr. Tantaléan’s excavations and historical research advance our understanding of Peru’s early archaeological horizons\, as well as their study in the late 19th and early 20th century by Tello (who made Paracas famous) and others. With support from Latin American Studies\, the departments of History\, Anthropology\, CAMS\, and Latin American Studies\, and the Archaeological Institute of America\, his talk next Thursday will be of interest to more general students and scholars of archaeology and anthropology\, of the history and art history of the Andes\, and of 19th and 20th century post-colonial intellectual history in Latin America. \nFor further details\, please write to Dr. Christopher Heaney at cuh282@psu.edu and Dr. José Capriles at juc555@psu.edu.

SUMMARY:Making a Spectacle of Oneself: Reflections on Mirrors and Dress in Classical Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:A joint program sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America Dayton Society\, the Miami University Department of History\, and the Richard and Carole Cocks Art Museum at Miami University. \nAlthough we often take them for granted\, mirrors in antiquity were powerful tools for the construction of feminine identity. Building on the idea of the mirror as speculum\, we will explore how the mirror reflected concepts of beauty\, care of the body\, economic status\, marital status\, and social role\, throughout the female life-cycle. The ritual functions of mirrors connected women to the divine\, and even determined their fate. We will also consider the post-classical “lives” of ancient mirrors\, several of which can be found in museums throughout Ohio. This public lecture is in association with HST 210S “Roman Civilization and Roman Spectacle” \nMireille Lee is the Founder and Executive Director of the Foundation for Ethical Stewardship of Cultural Heritage (FESCH)\, and Project Director for the Mediterranean Antiquities Provenance Research Alliance (MAPRA). A classical archaeologist by\ntraining\, she earned her AB from Occidental College\, and her MA and PhD from Bryn Mawr. She has published widely on ancient Greek art\, gender studies\, and object biography. Her first monograph\, Body\, Dress\, and Identity in Ancient Greece\, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2015. Her current book project\, on ancient Greek mirrors\, is under contract with Oxford University Press.

SUMMARY:Hands-on Greek Vases
DESCRIPTION:“HANDS-ON GREEK VASES” with AAR curator Prof. Valentina Follo and professional potter Roberto Paolini.\nThe popularity of Greek pottery transcended the Greek world. These artifacts\, beyond their aesthetic beauty and role in spreading Greek myths\, underscore the advanced technical skills required for their creation\, a process that remains poorly understood.\nToday’s event offers participants a hands-on experience with original Greek vases\, but also with their creation process\, from wheel-forming to intricate decoration. \nThe event will be composed of two activities:\n1) guests will be allowed to touch and handle a selection of ancient Greek vases from the Archeological Collection of the AAR while curator Prof. Follo will discuss the peculiarities of each of them (e.g. technique\, dating\, iconography);\n2) guests will meet Roberto Paolini\, a professional ceramist who\, through his study and experimental research (e.g. with Arizona University)\, has recreated the ancient techniques using only materials and technologies available in antiquity\, eschewing modern chemical varnishes. He employs animal hair brushes\, personally sourced clay slip\, and a high level of skill and dedication – the same elements used by ancient potters.\nPaolini will explain how to reproduce a vase and demonstrate how to use slip to decorate in the black-figure and red-figure techniques. Also in this case\, participants will be allowed to touch and feel the vase reproductions. \nThe event will be open to 40 participants who will need to register in advance due to the limited space at the American Academy in Rome. Please sign up using this form https://forms.gle/WHfXaWK27CEWJu878 \nThis activity will be offered free of charge and is open to anyone.

SUMMARY:Aegean Sea Odyssey: Cruise the Greek Isles & Historic Türkiye
DESCRIPTION:Join Archaeological Institute of America lecturer and host Joanne Murphy\, a classical archaeologist and an engaging professor\, on a captivating journey cruising the Aegean Sea among the cultural coastal gems of Greece and Türkiye. Set out from Athens’ port of Piraeus for the sacred\, uninhabited island of Delos\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cruise into the iconic caldera of Santorini and visit the island’s haunting site of Akrotiri\, which was buried yet preserved by a volcanic eruption around 1600 B.C. Wander through the medieval town of Rhodes\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site\, and perhaps take an optional excursion to the Acropolis at Lindos with its 4th-century B.C. temple; and then hop over to nearby Kuşadasi\, Türkiye\, for a visit to the vast Greco-Roman city of Ephesus\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our last port of call is Çanakkale\, for an excursion to legendary Troy\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site\, before we disembark in deeply historical Istanbul. Optional pre- and post- cruise extensions in Athens and Istanbul are available. Aboard ship a team of experts\, including AIA lecturer/host Joanne Murphy\, will share their knowledge through a series of enriching lectures and informal discussions. Our luxury vessel\, Le Dumont-d’Urville\, which has only 92 staterooms and suites\, will be a floating sanctuary of sophistication and comfort\, where you will indulge in gourmet dining\, unwind in spacious staterooms\, and savor panoramic views throughout the vessel.

SUMMARY:In search of Artemis-Tyche: the cult and sanctuary of Artemis in the Decapolis city of Gerasa
DESCRIPTION:The AIA San Francisco Society is thrilled to welcome Dr. Rubina Raja (Aarhus University) back to Berkeley. Please join us to hear Dr. Raja speak about the archaeology and history of ancient Gerasa. This will be the final lecture of the AIA San Francisco Society’s 2024-2025 lecture series. \nAbstract: The Antonine period Artemis sanctuary in the Decapolis city Gerasa is one of the largest sanctuaries in the Roman world. With its impressive architecture and central location in the city\, which also was named Antioch on the Gold River\, the sanctuary has received a lot of attention in scholarship for more than a century. What is less known\, however\, is the fact that the sanctuary had a forerunner\, which has until now not been located. This presentation takes its point of departure in new research undertaken on the archaeology and history of Gerasa\, which has been aimed at\, among other things\, reinvestigating the pre-Antonine Artemis cult in Gerasa. \nSpeaker: Dr. Rubina Raja\, Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art\, Director of The Danish National Research Foundation’s Centre of Excellence for Urban Network Evolutions\, Aarhus University\, Denmark

SUMMARY:Research and Excavations at Sardis
DESCRIPTION:In this year’s Sardis Biennial Lecture\, Professor Nicholas Cahill of the University of Wisconsin–Madison will discuss recent excavations at Sardis in Türkiye. The Archaeological Exploration of Sardis has been sponsored by Harvard University and Cornell University since 1958 and is authorized by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Discoveries include monumental remains of the early Lydian palace and a new sector of well-preserved houses destroyed by Cyrus the Great in 547 BCE. Work continues on the largest Roman arch in the world and on late antique houses built atop a sanctuary to the emperor Claudius. A protective roof was built over the Lydian fortification\, and a team of local women conserved the mosaics of the Synagogue—the largest in the ancient world. \nSpeaker: Nicholas D. Cahill\, Field Director\, Archaeological Exploration of Sardis\, and Professor of Greek and Roman Art and Archaeology\, University of Wisconsin–Madison \nFree admission\, but seating is limited and registration is encouraged. For more information and to register\, please click on the Event Website link noted below. \nThis lecture will be recorded and made available for online viewing; check the Event Website link after the event for details on how to view.

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Livestream: Mark Aldenderfer. “Archaeology and the Tibetan/Himalayan Afterlife”
DESCRIPTION:Although historians and Tibetologists since the early 20th C have collected and interpreted religious documents describing in general terms rituals of death and safe passage to the afterlife among the early peoples of the Himalayas\, the archaeological record offered little insight into them. But recent research by archaeologists across the region have made extraordinary discoveries that both challenge and corroborate current understandings as well as identifying previously unknown traditions for both commoners and kings. Please join us in-person to watch this live-streamed Zoom event.

SUMMARY:The Past in the Past: The Power of Monuments in Ruin presented by Dr. Art Joyce
DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines two ruined monumental architectural complexes in prehispanic Oaxaca\, Mexico: The Main Plaza of the mountaintop city of Monte Albán in the Valley of Oaxaca and the acropolis of Río Viejo on the coastal floodplain of the Lower Río Verde. Both complexes were built during the Formative period and became the ceremonial centers of important cities and foci of politico-religious life for larger regions. The two complexes\, however\, had vastly different histories from their initial construction through their time as ceremonial centers and their afterlives as decaying ruins. Although both fell to ruin during the prehispanic era\, they continued to be places of intensive affect that were central to the constitution and transformation of broader communities in their respective regions. Drawing on new materialist approaches as well as on Native American ontological perspectives in Oaxaca and elsewhere in Mesoamerica\, I argue that even as ruins\, both complexes were powerful animate beings linked to agricultural fertility\, sacrifice\, ancestors\, and cycles of creation. The presentation considers how the material vibrancy of these ruins differed in ways that both brought together and destabilized community and hierarchy. After the abandonment of Monte Albán\, its Main Plaza\, viewed from afar by the people in the valley below\, continued to assemble substances important to human well-being including rain\, earth\, mountain\, sky\, ancestors\, and divinities. People from communities in the valley periodically journeyed to the plaza to make sacrificial offerings thereby constituting a broader identity and community\, although one that was much changed relative to the time when Monte Albán was a city. In contrast\, the earthen architecture of the acropolis\, located in the center of Río Viejo\, rapidly eroded and decayed in the tropical lowland climate. The Late Classic period reemergence of hierarchy in the lower Río Verde Valley activated material memories of rupture held in the ruins that threatened and resisted new forms of community and political authority. As a result\, nobles were drawn back to the architectural complex to appropriate that power though the emplacement of a complex offering that may have healed and reanimated the building. The processes of ruination at the two monumental complexes discussed here therefore actualized different capacities contributing to the gathering of a new kind of community in one case\, and its resistance and eventual dissolution in the other. This presentation makes the broader point that even ruined buildings can be powerful in ways that threaten\, resist\, empower\, or transform human projects.

SUMMARY:Archaeology of the Ọyọ Empire: Domesticity of Governance & Politics of Dependency\, 1600-1836
DESCRIPTION:Martha Sharp Joukowsky Lectureships \nDr. Akin Ogundiran\, “Archaeology of the Ọyọ Empire: Domesticity of Governance and Politics of Dependency\, 1600-1836” \nThursday\, April 10 at 5:30pm EST\nUMass Amherst\, Integrated Learning Center S211\nFor Zoom attendance\, register here: https://umass-amherst.zoom.us/meeting/register/UU0SqUeGS8mVuL6k98vAnA \nBetween ca. 1650 and 1800\, the Ọyọ Empire was the largest political formation in West Africa\, south of the River Niger. Over the past twenty years\, Akin Ogundiran has conducted archaeological research in the capital\, colonies\, and provinces of the empire to understand the strategies of Ọyọ expansion and the everyday lives of different segments of its population. In this talk\, Ogundiran juxtaposes the materialities of military conquest\, colonization strategies\, and household politics to tell an intimate story of one of the most important imperial formations in Africa during the Early Modern Period. Here\, the regional and multi-sited scope and the residential contexts of the archaeological research allow for a fine-scale understanding of how domesticity\, gender\, class\, labor\, technology\, mobility\, and the landscape were manipulated to fashion the Ọyọ Empire. In the process\, ideas about personhood\, family\, and sexuality were also transformed. The archaeology of the Ọyọ Empire contributes to a truly global understanding of the Early Modern Period. \nAbout the Speaker\nAkin Ogundiran is the Cardiss Collins Professor of Arts and Sciences\, Professor of History\, and Courtesy Professor of Anthropology and of Black Studies at Northwestern University. He is the current President of the Society of Africanist Archaeologists. His research interests include the topics of empire and community formation in West Africa and the African Diaspora over the past 2\,500 years\, with emphasis on the archaeology and cultural history of the Yoruba World. Professor Ogundiran’s publications include The Yoruba: A New History (Indiana University Press\, 2020)\, recipient of the 2022 Vinson Sutlive Book Prize and the 2022 Isaac Oluwole Delano Prize for Yoruba Studies. He is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London and a Member of the Nigerian Academy of Letters. \nThis year’s AIA National Martha Sharp Joukowsky Lecture is co-sponsored by the AIA–Western Massachusetts Society\, UMass Amherst Department of Classics\, UMass Amherst Department of Anthropology\, and W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies

SUMMARY:Lecture: Susan Downie (Carleton University)\, "Sparta and Totalitarianism"
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 10th\, at 600pm\, Dr. Susan Downie (Carleton University) will deliver the lecture\, “Sparta and Totalitarianism\,” in room LB 322 of Concordia University’s Webster Library. \nAbstract\nThe ancient Greek city-state of Sparta has never really left the imagination of western civilization. From political philosophers like Plato and Aristotle to modern political parties such as Greece’s Χρυσή Αυγή “Golden Dawn”\, the Spartan state and its citizens have represented an “ideal” for which to strive. What elements of the ancient Spartan state and society have made it the poster-child for modern Totalitarianism? Given the significant problems with our sources about ancient Sparta\, can we ever understand exactly how the state and its citizens functioned\, or must we forever deal with the “Spartan mirage”?
