SUMMARY:Emeralds
DESCRIPTION:Emeralds is a new\, intimate collection of stunning crystals\, gemstones\, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery. \nHighly coveted by a wide variety of cultures\, emeralds have played a significant role in shaping human history\, helping to facilitate trade and even build empires. From rough stones to sophisticated jewelry\, emeralds continue to captivate with their beauty and historical significance\, symbolizing luxury and power across cultures and eras. While emeralds are rare\, they can be found in countries throughout the world\, including Colombia\, Madagascar\, and Egypt\, to name a few. Emeralds formed inside rocks millions of years ago. Those from South Africa are known to be about 2.9 billion years old\, while Colombian emeralds date back over 48 million years! The unique characteristics of emeralds provide valuable insights into the processes that formed them. With the use of new AI technologies\, scientists are making major advances in unraveling their stories and tracing their origins. \nThrough November 30 \nPhoto: Metamorphosis.

SUMMARY:A DEM-onstration of Quantitative 3D Analysis: Lower Nubia in the Recent and Distant Past
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 12\n3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2\nIn-person; no registration required \nSpeaker: Rolland Long\, PhD Candidate\, UPenn \nTitle: “A DEM-onstration of Quantitative 3D Analysis: Lower Nubia in the Recent and Distant Past” \nAbstract:\nSoon after the declassification of satellite imagery from the CORONA satellite spy-mission in the mid-1990’s\, archaeologists working around the world recognized quickly recognized their value. The spy mission\, which had originally been designed to provide intelligence on Soviet bomber and missile capabilities during the Cold War\, also recorded the appearance of archaeological sites and landscapes heavily altered or destroyed by recent urban development. This talk focuses on a burgeoning new application of CORONA imagery: the generation of historical Digital Elevation Models (DEM) from such images\, which can yield important quantitative insights about terrain no longer in existence.\nSpecifically\, this talk will produce several DEM’s produced over Lower Nubia\, which has been subject to flooding and rising water levels since the establishment of the Aswan High Dam about half-a-century ago. Though a heroic international effort had sought to salvage as much archaeological information as possible prior to its construction\, much about the ancient history of the area has been swept away forever. These DEM’s will situate the Egyptian forts of several areas\, including Semna and Askut\, within their larger geographical context. Certain physical features of these fortresses\, such as intervisibility between forts and their proximity to overland routes\, can now be verified quantitatively with these DEM’s in conjunction with GIS toolkits. \nSpeaker Bio:\nRolland Long is a PhD Candidate in Egyptian archaeology at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to attending Penn\, he earned his BA from the University of Chicago\, where he graduated with honors in Egyptology. His research focuses on the post-Middle Kingdom occupation of Wah-Sut\, on which he currently dissertates\, as well as the general character of ancient urbanism in Egypt. He works primarily as a field archaeologist\, and has worked 7 field seasons in South Abydos with Penn. \nIn addition\, Rolland is interested in the larger\, quantitative problems that concern ancient Egypt\, such as demography\, as well as remote sensing and the analytical utilization of 3D modeling. He also possesses a strong curiosity regarding philology and grammar; he worked several years as a research assistant at the Chicago Demotic Dictionary (CDD) during his graduate career. \n******************\nLectures are FREE to ARCE-PA chapter members\, $7 for University of Pennsylvania Museum Members and UPenn Staff and Faculty\, $5 for Students with ID\, and $10 for the general public.\nCoffee\, tea\, and cookies 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:11th Century Turkey Management in the Mimbres Valley
DESCRIPTION:Lecture. Sean Dolan (Los Alamos Laboratories). For nearly two millennia\, people in the US Southwest and Mexican Northwest have maintained a significant relationship with turkeys\, a bird they domesticated for their feathers\, meat\, and other resources. Recent archaeological studies reveal diverse regional and temporal patterns in turkey management\, but how and why did people in the Mimbres Valley of southwestern New Mexico from CE 1000-1130 manage and interact with these birds? In this presentation\, Sean Dolan incorporates Mimbres pottery iconography\, bone isotope analysis\, and ancient DNA to explore the role and treatment of turkeys in this region.

SUMMARY:Exploring Human Origins at Kenya’s Lake Turkana
DESCRIPTION:Free Public Lecture – Online & In Person \n2025 Hallam L. Movius\, Jr. Lecture Series \nLouise Leakey\, Director\, Koobi Fora Research Project; Research Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, Stony Brook University; National Geographic Explorer at Large \nKenya’s fossil-rich Turkana Basin has been—for over five decades—a cornerstone in unraveling the story of human origins in Africa. In this lecture\, renowned paleoanthropologist Louise Leakey will delve into the groundbreaking discoveries at Lake Turkana\, including hominins and fossil fauna that have reshaped our understanding of human ancestry. She will discuss the challenges of early exploration\, and the impact of the Koobi Fora research camp\, the National Museums of Kenya\, and the Turkana Basin Institute\, in advancing paleoscience. In closing\, she will address opportunities to enhance research\, collections care\, and capacity-building at Lake Turkana through innovative funding\, collaborations\, and citizen science projects. \nAdvance registration recommended for in-person and online attendance. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. \nPresented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology\, the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture\, and the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology\, Harvard University. \nLouise Leakey is a third-generation Kenyan paleoanthropologist who is carrying on the legacy of the famed Leakey family in the search for human origins in Kenya’s fossil-rich Turkana Basin. A National Geographic Explorer at Large\, Leakey\, daughter of Meave and Richard Leakey\, and granddaughter of Louis and Mary Leakey\, all renowned paleoanthropologists\, became actively involved in fossil discoveries at age five when she was proclaimed the youngest documented person to find a hominid fossil. Educated in the UK\, she earned a PhD in Biology from University College London in 2001. Leakey also serves as a research professor in Anthropology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and a research associate at the National Museums of Kenya. Louise directs the paleo-anthropological expeditions of the Koobi Fora Research Project in northern Kenya. New discoveries by her team in recent years include multiple hominin fossils\, as well as the 1.5 million-year hominin trackway published in Science in 2024. A new species discovered at Lake Turkana in 1999 extended human fossil diversity back to 3.5 million years and\, according to the New York Times\, “overturns the prevailing view that a single line of descent stretched through the early stages of human ancestry.” Additional fossils recovered from this time period in recent years have contributed to the understanding of the diversity in the hominin fossil record. In addition to her long-term field studies in the Turkana Basin\, Leakey also works closely with local communities and alongside wildlife authorities to preserve Kenya’s unique plants and animals of Kenya’s north. A lively lecturer\, she gives talks and distributes science stories to Kenyan school children as part of the outreach efforts of her research project through her organization Leakey Journeys and Expeditions. Born and brought up in East Africa\, she has travelled widely throughout the continent. Her family has been involved in the field of human origins for several generations and has contributed enormously to the understanding of our African origins through their work in both Kenya and Tanzania. Her family has been involved in politics and government\, national museums\, and wildlife conservation. Her husband\, Emmanuel de Merode\, is Director of Virunga National Park in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo\, Africa’s oldest national park and home to endangered mountain gorillas. His team has worked tirelessly to secure the future of this protected area through significant investments in renewable energy in this war-torn region. Louise is a mother of two adult daughters\, a pilot\, and an educator. She has many colorful experiences and insights to share.

SUMMARY:Uncovering the Lake George Battlefield
DESCRIPTION:Uncovering the Lake George Battlefield \nSpeaker: Siobhan M. Hart\, Ph.D. Associate Professor and Chair Anthropology Department\, Skidmore College\nLocation: Rye Free Reading Room\, Rye\, NY (Virtual)\nDate: April 17\, 2025\nTime: 6:00 pm to 7:15 pm \nThe Lake George Battlefield State Park (Warren County\, New York) contains the remains of twenty-five years of military action and encampment spanning the French and Indian War through the American Revolution. Within the park are the intact remains of notable battles and evidence of the daily life of soldiering in the 18th century. In 1776\, the area became home to the largest smallpox hospitals in the American colonies\, with several thousand smallpox patients brought and cared for here. This presentation will discuss past and current archaeological research at the Lake George Battlefield State Park and a shift towards the use of non-invasive geophysical techniques\, limited excavation\, and existing collections research. \nSiobhan Hart (she/her) is an anthropologist and professor at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs\, New York. Her work is concerned with using material culture\, place\, and community collaboration to address inequities in the world today. As an anthropological archaeologist\, she is interested in what we know about the past\, how we know it\, and how it matters to people today. She is curator of the Skidmore Archaeological Collection and author of the book Colonialism\, Community\, and Heritage in Native New England (2019\, University Press Florida).

SUMMARY:Dr Eleanor Breen\, "Buried Beneath the Waterfront: The Ships That Built Alexandria"
DESCRIPTION:Dr Eleanor Breen\, Alexandria Archaeology  \nFounded in 1749\, Alexandria\, Virginia\, is a vibrant city just seven miles south of Washington\, D.C. In recent years\, the City of Alexandria has embarked on a major revitalization of its historic waterfront\, integrating new development with park and infrastructure improvements. With a nearly 50-year-old Alexandria Archaeology program and a pioneering Archaeological Protection Code\, the city remains deeply committed to preserving its buried history. The code ensures that archaeological review and excavation are factored into the development process. \nAs plans to transform the waterfront took shape\, archaeologists launched an intensive exploration of some of the most historically significant sites within the National Register Historic District. Over the past decade\, excavations have uncovered the remnants of wharves\, warehouses\, industries\, houselots\, privies\, and four ship hull remnants—preserved in the waterlogged soil along the Potomac River’s edge. This talk will trace the remarkable journeys of these four ships: from their time at sea to their reuse as landfill\, their rediscovery centuries later\, and the efforts to preserve them for future generations.

SUMMARY:Repair and Restore: Embracing Change\, Preserving Memory\, and Building Community through the Conservation of Cultural Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Though often understood as a purely technical or aesthetic pursuit that focuses on restoring historical objects to their former splendor\, the conservation of cultural heritage is a profoundly human and complex endeavor. Objects and places gain significance from the people who make\, value\, and care for them. Change is inevitable and becomes part of the history of any object or place. Thus\, heritage conservation is a collective undertaking that involves collaboration and community to understand both what is to be safeguarded and how to pass the object on to future generations. \nThrough case studies on conservation projects dealing with the Tomb of Tutankhamen in Egypt and archaeological mosaics in the Mediterranean region\, this presentation by architectural conservator Jeanne Marie Teutonico will highlight the fundamentally collaborative nature of cultural heritage conservation and how it engages and builds community. \nSpeaker: Jeanne Marie Teutonico\, Architectural Conservator \nFree admission\, but seating is limited and registration is encouraged.

SUMMARY:The Daily Lives of Ancient Egyptian Artists
DESCRIPTION:Hana Navratilova\, Fellow\, Royal Historical Society\, UK; Supernumerary Fellow\, University of Oxford\, Harris Manchester College \nJaroslav Černý (1898–1970) was a distinguished Egyptologist known for his groundbreaking work on the social and cultural history of ancient Egypt\, particularly the community of artisans at Deir el-Medina\, a village near the Valley of the Kings. His research on ostraca (pottery sherds and limestone flakes bearing written inscriptions) and Theban “graffiti” texts is fundamental for understanding the daily lives\, literacy\, administration\, and religious practices of ancient Egyptian artisans. In this lecture\, Hana Navratilova will explore Černý’s lifelong research at Deir el-Medina\, his groundbreaking studies of texts\, artifacts\, and the Western Theban landscape\, and his indelible mark on twentieth-century Egyptology. \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 and Culture. \nPhoto: Detail of Ipuy and Wife Receive Offerings from Their Children (substantially restored)\, facsimile (tempera on paper) by Norman de Garis Davies (1865–1941); Rogers Fund\, 1930\, 30.4.114; The Metropolitan Museum of Art CC0 \nThe original is from Deir el-Medina\, New Kingdom\, Ramesside\,Dynasty: Dynasty 19\, Reign: reign of Ramesses II\, ca. 1279–1213 B.C.E.

SUMMARY:Constructed Realities: Ancient Roman Triclinium Grottoes
DESCRIPTION:Humanity has long sought escape from reality. Today\, the options to do so are numerous and varied\, from 3D movies to augmented or virtual reality\, which immerse users through headsets\, speakers\, and other devices. However\, experiential immersion existed long before the advent of modern technology. In ancient Rome\, an early form of “virtual reality” could be found in artificial grottos. Triclinium grottoes and “chamber nymphaea” became incorporated into residences ranging from large scale villas to moderately sized urban houses. Though the viewer’s experience varied depending on the setting\, the goal was always the same: to artificially construct the reality of a grotto in a domestic setting. Focusing on examples from the Julio-Claudian and Flavian periods\, such as the dining grottoes of the Domus Transitoria in Rome and the Praedia of Julia Felix in Pompeii\, this paper explores not only how the constructed realities of triclinium grottoes differed from real grottoes but also examines the various methods through which viewers were manipulated to accept these artificial grottoes as reality in different settings.

SUMMARY:Classical Washington: Greece and Rome in the Art and Architecture of DC
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free virtual talk on Wednesday\, May 1\, at 6 PM Central. Registration required. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qGNBDPkWRKWJUSOevFDg_A#/registration\nJoin art historian Elise Friedland for a free virtual talk on her investigation of the meaning and reception of Classical art and architecture in our nation’s capital. \nWashington\, D.C.\, is a city like no other in the United States. A Greek Doric temple (the Lincoln Memorial) sits at one end of the city’s central forum (The Mall)\, housing a colossal cult statue (Abraham Lincoln). A Roman triumphal arch monumentalizes the front of the main train depot (Union Station). Roman equestrian statues stand amidst circular plazas\, celebrating victorious American generals (Andrew Jackson in Lafayette Plaza). This talk explores the role of Greek and Roman art and architecture in the planning\, building and decorating of America’s capital city. \nThis discussion provides broader historical perspective for Neoclassical architecture in Nashville\, especially the choice of Neoclassical models and styles used for the Centennial Exposition of 1897. \nThis lecture is the Archaeological Institute for America John H. and Penelope Biggs Lecture for 2025\, a grant awarded to the AIA Nashville Society.

SUMMARY:Excavating a Shipwrecked Marble Column Destined for the Temple of Apollo at Claros
DESCRIPTION:Excavating a Shipwrecked Marble Column Destined for the Temple of Apollo at Claros \nDr. Deborah N. Carlson\nProfessor\, Sara W. and George O. Yamini Endowed Family Chair in Nautical Archaeology\nPresident of Institute of Nautical Archaeology\nNautical Program Coordinator\nTexas A&M \nBetween 2005 and 2011\, researchers from the Institute of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University excavated and raised the remains of an ancient ship that was wrecked off the Aegean coast of Turkey at Kızılburun in the first century B.C. This ship was transporting about 60 tons of white marble blocks and architectural elements that originated in the quarries on Proconnesus Island in the Sea of Marmara. Ceramic artifacts and coins help narrow the date of the shipwreck\, but the pieces of a single monumental Doric column suggest that the ship was destined for one of the most important oracular sanctuaries in the ancient Mediterranean. Join underwater archaeologist Deborah Carlson as she lays out the evidence to solve this maritime mystery!

Head over to Parnassus Books and mention the Archaeological Institute of America-Nashville Society book club at the Parthenon for a 10% discount. \nABOUT THE BOOK: The Last Painting of Sara de Vos by Dominic Smith\nDescription from Nashville Public Library: \n“Written in prose so clear that we absorb its images as if by mind meld\, “The Last Painting” is gorgeous storytelling: wry\, playful\, and utterly alive\, with an almost tactile awareness of the emotional contours of the human heart. Vividly detailed\, acutely sensitive to stratifications of gender and class\, it’s fiction that keeps you up at night — first because you’re barreling through the book\, then because you’ve slowed your pace to a crawl\, savoring the suspense.” — Boston Globe \nAmsterdam\, 1631: Sara de Vos becomes the first woman to be admitted as a master painter to the city’s Guild of St. Luke. Though women do not paint landscapes (they are generally restricted to indoor subjects)\, a wintry outdoor scene haunts Sara: She cannot shake the image of a young girl from a nearby village\, standing alone beside a silver birch at dusk\, staring out at a group of skaters on the frozen river below. Defying the expectations of her time\, she decides to paint it. \nNew York City\, 1957: The only known surviving work of Sara de Vos\, At the Edge of a Wood \, hangs in the bedroom of a wealthy Manhattan lawyer\, Marty de Groot\, a descendant of the original owner. It is a beautiful but comfortless landscape. The lawyer’s marriage is prominent but comfortless\, too. When a struggling art history grad student\, Ellie Shipley\, agrees to forge the painting for a dubious art dealer\, she finds herself entangled with its owner in ways no one could predict. \nSydney\, 2000: Now a celebrated art historian and curator\, Ellie Shipley is mounting an exhibition in her field of specialization: female painters of the Dutch Golden Age. When it becomes apparent that both the original At the Edge of a Wood and her forgery are en route to her museum\, the life she has carefully constructed threatens to unravel entirely and irrevocably. \n2024 BOOK CLUB DATES:\nMonday\, August 4\, 2025 — Lifestyles of Gods and Monsters by Emily Roberson\nMonday\, November 3\, 2025 — The Feather Thief by Kirk W.

SUMMARY:Cleopatra and the Queens of Meroë
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will focus on the many sole-ruling kandakas (‘queens’) of the ancient kingdom of Meroë (Kush/Nubia)\, including those who ruled contemporaneously with Cleopatra and with Roman aggressions and occupation along the Nile valley. We will learn about the Nubian warrior queens who led troops in battle (and to victory) against Rome\, and deconstruct the reductive stereotypes often peddled about the powerful female rulers of the Nile. We will contrast the queens’ self-presentation with the ways in which Roman-imperial authors attempted to re-inscribe them. Please join us for this in-person lecture given by a leading scholar of ancient Nubia and Egypt.
