SUMMARY:Archaeology and Ale and Book Release with Andrew Lawler
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Lawler will introduce us to his new book\, UNDER JERUSALEM: The Buried History of the World’s Most Contested City. Sacred to three faiths and revered by more than half the people on the planet\, Jerusalem conjures up powerful images of the celestial. Yet beneath its narrow alleys and holy places\, the ancient city conceals a labyrinthine\, three-dimensional time capsule recording five millennia of bustling prosperity\, brutal war\, and repeated religious innovation that altered the course of human history.\nSince the days when Abraham Lincoln was in the White House\, adventurers\, archaeologists\, and religious zealots have flocked here to hunt for buried treasure\, unearth sacred artifacts like the Ark of the Covenant\, and find proof of the Bible’s veracity. That digging to reveal the past continues today—and\, in so doing\, continues to alter the city’s future.\nIn this book he takes us into the tombs\, tunnels\, and trenches of the Holy City and brings to life the indelible characters who have investigated this subterranean landscape.\nYou can pre-order the book at the Seminary Coop Bookstore https://www.semcoop.com/under-jerusalem

SUMMARY:Sardis:  Recent Discoveries from the Bronze Age until the End of Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Nicholas A. Cahill\, UW-Madison\nThe Archaeological Exploration of Sardis expedition has\ncarried out large-scale\, scientific excavations at the site in western Turkey since 1958. Over these 5+ decades\, archaeologists have documented the emergence and development of Sardis\, the capitol of the Lydian Empire of the 6th and 7th centuries BCE\, and one of the great cities of the ancient world. Utilizing spectacular aerial imagery\, Dr. Cahill\, Director of the Sardis Expedition since 2008\, will discuss the geography\, history\, and challenges of excavating such a large\nand complex site and will provide a backdrop for understanding recent discoveries and research. The speaker will address current archaeological questions including: Who were the Lydians? What does the early development of the city look like? What cultural transformations are evident when the native capitol becomes a Greek polis? What can the collapse of Sardis tell us about the “End of Antiquity” in the 7th c AD? On-going site conservation efforts will also be featured.

SUMMARY:Female Benefactors in the Roman Empire (Dr. Rachel Meyers)
DESCRIPTION:The Iowa Society of the Archaeological Institute of America presents: “Female Benefactors in the Roman Empire” by Dr. Rachel Meyers (Iowa State University) \nEvidence for the Roman practice of public generosity comes from ancient texts\, inscriptions\, and archaeological remains. This philanthropic activity\, including endowments\, bequests\, construction projects\, and entertainment\, was a common way for the wealthy to show off their resources\, promote their family’s standing\, and position themselves for public office. Until recently\, however\, most female benefactors were pushed to the margins of scholarly inquiry or omitted entirely. While Roman women could not hold civic offices or military commands\, they could acquire substantial wealth and engage in public life through priesthoods and public benefaction. This presentation features a large corpus of inscriptions from the Roman West that gives evidence for the numerous ways in which women used their financial resources for civic munificence. The data reveal geographical and chronological differences that help us gain a new understanding of women’s autonomy in the Roman Empire. \nThis is a virtual talk only.

SUMMARY:Reconstructing Queen Amanishakheto’s Musical Instruments (Free Virtual Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Susanne Gänsicke\, Senior Conservator and ​​Head of Antiquities Conservation\, J. Paul Getty Museum\, Los Angeles \nDouble reed pipes\, known as auloi\, were popular musical instruments in the ancient Mediterranean. In 1921\, archaeologists exploring the necropolis of Meroë (northern Sudan)—as part of the Harvard University-Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition—found a large collection of auloi in the pyramid of Nubian Queen Amanishakheto. Susanne Gänsicke will discuss the discovery’s importance and what it reveals about the connections between Nubia and the Mediterranean world as well as the significance of far-reaching musical traditions. She will also share recent efforts to conserve and reconstruct these ancient musical instruments. \nPresented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Pompeii on the Potomac
DESCRIPTION:Constantino Brumidi’s Roman-Style Wall Paintings for the US Capitol \nDr. Elise Friedland (George Washington University\, D.C.) \nThe US Capitol—America’s central federal building—echoes ancient Greece and Rome\, not only in its architecture and architectural sculpture\, but even in its decorative murals. This talk presents new research on the 1858 fresco cycle in the Senate wing’s Naval Affairs Committee meeting room\, painted by Constantino Brumidi\, the Italian-born artist\, turned American citizen\, who is most famous for his Apotheosis of George Washington in the Rotunda. Art historical and archival evidence demonstrate how Brumidi adapted Graeco-Roman motifs from a nineteenth-century publication of newly-discovered Pompeian frescoes to proclaim US naval power in the young nation’s main hall of government.

SUMMARY:Çatalhöyük: The Bioarchaeology of an Early Farming Society in Transition (Clark Spencer Larsen)
DESCRIPTION:The Neolithic is a period of fundamental changes in living circumstances\, much of which is tied to the shift from a lifeway based exclusively on hunting\, gathering\, and collecting wild plants and animals to one where domesticated plant and animals form a significant portion of the diet. For Western Asia\, the human remains of early farmers recovered from Çatalhöyük (7100-5950 BC) in south-central Turkey provide a highly contextualized setting for addressing key issues relating to living circumstances\, conditions in a proto-urban setting\, and the context in general for much of the world we live in today. \nRegister by clicking the button below.

SUMMARY:“Masada: From Jewish Revolt to Modern Myth”
DESCRIPTION:Sienkewicz Lecture on Roman Archaeology\nJodi Magness\, Kenan Distinguished Professor for Teaching Excellence in Early Judaism\, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (magness@email.unc.edu)\nIn the first century B.C.E.\, Herod the Great\, who ruled Judea as client king on behalf of Rome\, built a fortified palace atop the mountain of Masada overlooking the Dead Sea. Seventy years after Herod’s death\, the First Jewish Revolt against Rome broke out and Jewish rebels occupied Masada. According to the ancient historian Flavius Josephus\, at the end of the revolt the Romans besieged the mountain and the Jewish rebels committed mass suicide. In this slide-illustrated lecture\, we survey the history and archaeology of Masada\, including the results of excavations in the Roman siege works which Magness co-directed in 1995. We conclude by considering the current debates surrounding Josephus’s mass suicide story.\nThursday\, November 18\, 2021\, 7:30 pm\, Pattee Auditorium\, Room 100 Center for Science and Business (CSB)\, Monmouth College\, Monmouth\, IL 6142\nPlans are to zoom this lecture live.

SUMMARY:“The shipwreck in a diamond mine”: Identifying Elephant Herds from the ivory cargo in the 16th century
DESCRIPTION:Whilst mining for diamonds in 2008\, mine workers in Oranjemund\, Namibia found over 40 tons of cargo from a shipwreck buried under the sand for centuries. The ship is likely the Portuguese vessel Bom Jesus\, which wrecked off the coast of Namibia in 1533 AD\, and the artefacts found reveal aspects of European trade and contact with the western African coast in the early 16th century. The wreck was excavated as a rescue operation\, and diamond mining continues along this stretch of the Namibian coastline. Among gold and silver coins\, copper ingots\, and navigational equipment\, 100 complete tusks of elephant ivory were excavated and are currently being curated in the mine. \nIn order to build a research and heritage project on the wreck\, together with colleagues from the USA\, South Africa\, and Namibia\, we started a program of biomolecular analyses on the 100 elephant tusks. We used a combination of ancient DNA and stable isotope analyses (δ13C and δ15N) to source the ivory to African habitats. Our results show that the shipwreck ivory comes from 17 different elephant herds of African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) which lived in mixed savanna habitats in inland western Africa. Our study shows that a combination of techniques can be employed to determine the provenance of shipwreck cargo\, to compare the genetic characteristics of ancient and modern wildlife populations\, and to highlight the connectivity of African exchange networks with maritime trade routes. We hope that these data will aid in the exhibition of the shipwreck and artefacts in the National Museum of Namibia\, as well as showcase the outstanding potential of research on these materials. \nAshley Coutu is a Research Fellow and Deputy Head of Research at the Pitt Rivers Museum. She is an archaeologist with interests and training across fields such as historical and medieval archaeology\, African archaeology\, isotope ecology\, zooarchaeology and historical ecology. Over the last decade\, she has researched African exchange networks from the last 2\,000 years\, focusing on ivory as a material. She is also interested in the use of scientific techniques to understand how past people utilised ivory\, and to explore its trade\, use\, and value over time in different cultures. \nShe received a BA from Boston College\, USA in 2005\, then moved to the UK to complete an MPhil in World Archaeology from the University of Cambridge in 2007. From 2007-2011\, she completed her PhD as a Marie Curie Early Career Researcher on the EU-funded Historical Ecologies of East African Landscapes project at the University of York. Her PhD used a combination of archival\, archaeological\, and biomolecular data to understand the impacts of the 19th century ivory trade on elephants\, humans\, and landscapes along caravan routes in East Africa. In 2012\, she moved to Denmark as a postdoctoral researcher on the Entrepôt project and from 2013-2017 was based at the University of Cape Town\, South Africa\, holding a Claude Leon fellowship and then a Marie Curie International fellowship. The two fellowships centred on a project to map African ivory trade networks from the last 2\,000 years by analysing ivory working materials\, ivory objects\, and other small finds from archaeological sites across southern Africa. After moving back to the UK in 2017\, Ashley spent time as a Visiting Research fellow at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts at the University of East Anglia and then took up a post as a Lecturer in Archaeology at Newcastle University before landing in Oxford in 2019.

SUMMARY:Colonizing Provincial Egypt: Pyramids and the Early State presented by Professor Richard Bussmann\, PhD\, University of Cologne
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWhen we think of the pyramids of Egypt\, we usually refer to the gigantic pyramids of Giza. These were statements of power in the early ancient Egyptian state. Yet\, power does not become effective simply by building monuments. It rests on the ability of rulers to manipulate social relationships. In Egypt\, the relationship between centre and the hinterland was key for governing the country. The early state struggled for over one thousand years\, ca. 3000 to 2000 BC\, with defining this relationship. One attempt to colonize the hinterland was by the crown to build small pyramids at provincial sites in order to impose royal authority locally. This lecture presents fresh archaeological fieldwork from one of the provincial pyramids. It discusses challenges archaic states were facing in early history and the ways people accommodated their lives within them. \nBio:\nRichard Bussmann studied Egyptology\, Assyriology and Theology at the Univeristy of Heidelberg\, the Free University of Berlin\, Humboldt University Berlin and Goettingen University. He received his PhD in Egyptology from the Free University of Berlin in 2007. His PhD thesis focused on the archaeology and history of local community shrines in the times of the pyramids. In 2010\, he held a post-doctoral research fellowship of the Humboldt Foundation at Cambridge University. In the same year\, he was appointed Lecturer\, and in 2014 Senior Lecturer in Egyptology and Egyptian Archaeology at University College London. In 2016\, he took up his current position as professor of Egyptology at the University of Cologne. Dr Bussmann combines archaeology and philology in his research. He is interested in the society and culture of provincial Egypt in the Old and Middle Kingdoms (ca. 2700 to 1700 BC)\, using theories from social anthropology\, archaeology\, and cultural history. He directs a project on the early inscriptions of ancient Egypt and is co-director of an archaeological fielwork project at Zawyet Sultan\, in Middle Egypt. Dr Bussmann is currently finalising a book for Cambridge University Press\, provisionally entitled “Egypt in the shadow of the pyramids: archaeology of society and culture\, 2700-1700 BC”.

SUMMARY:Ancient Roads of the Chaco World: Monumentality\, Religion\, and Power
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Rob Weiner will discuss his recent fieldwork throughout the Chaco World\, which combines LiDAR\, drone aerial photography\, and on-the-ground documentation to investigate the history\, use\, and meaning of monumental roads in Chacoan society. He will focus on new insights regarding the destinations of roads and ritual practices carried out on them\, with particular attention to their role in perpetuating inequality. Insights from collaboration with the Navajo Nation and comparative examples of ritual pathways from throughout the ancient world offer new understandings of the role of linear earthwork features in the ancient Southwest.

SUMMARY:Society Sunday: Disability and Infanticide in Ancient Greece
DESCRIPTION:Ring in the new year as the AIA Societies Committee presents a virtual presentation and Q&A with Debby Sneed. \nThis presentation will also be available in American Sign Language. ASL interpretation will be provided by Trail Blazing Interpreters 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. \nJoin Debby Sneed and take a deeper look at life in ancient Greece with a focus on disability and infanticide. Despite the widely embraced notion that ancient Spartans killed infants born with any kind of physical impairment\, there is little literary\, archaeological\, or bioarchaeological evidence for this being regularly practiced. Debby will discuss how the archaeological record gives us a glimpse of the experiences of disabled members of ancient Greek society. \nAfter the presentation there will be a 20 minute Q&A period\, so bring your questions! \n\nDebby Sneed is a Lecturer in the Department of Classics at California State University\, Long Beach. She received her B.A. from the University of Wyoming\, her M.A. from the University of Colorado\, and her Ph.D. from the University of California at Los Angeles. Her research interests are disability\, identity\, and marginalization in ancient Greece\, and the archaeology of ancient Greece. Her article “The Architecture of Access: Ramps at Ancient Greek Healing Sanctuaries” (Antiquity 94\, 2020) was awarded the 2021 Ben Cullen Prize by the journal Antiquity for outstanding work in archaeology. She has an article on disability and infanticide published with Hesperia (90\, 2021) and is currently working on her monograph\, entitled Not Another Other: Physical Disability\, Ableism\, and Disablism in Ancient Greece.
