SUMMARY:Alexander Hollman (University of Washington): Magic\, Underworld Gods\, Competition: The Newly Published Curse Tablets of Antioch & Caesarea (Rumpakis Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Ancient curse tablets\, with texts usually scraped into thin\, soft lead sheets\, then rolled up and hidden in tombs\, wells\, or walls\, represent some of the most fascinating sources of ancient beliefs in magic and dark powers. \nCurses could target rivals in business or love\, circus charioteers racing against one’s own favorite faction\, or even a humble green grocer who had done the writer some unnamed wrong. \nProfessor Hollmann (University of Washington)\, in collaboration with Robert Daniel of the University of Cologne\, has been working on a on a two-volume edition\, translation\, and commentary of Ancient Greek lead curse tablets from ancient Antioch and Caesarea and will introduce us to some of his newest discoveries.

SUMMARY:Studying & Publishing Theban Tomb n°7: (A) Tomb of the Scribe Ramose at Deir el-Medina
DESCRIPTION:RE-SCHEDULED\nSaturday\, Sept. 26\n3:30 pm EST\nIn-person only at the Penn Museum\, Classroom L2\nNo registration required \nSpeaker: Prof. Marie-Lys Arnette\, Assistant Professor and Alexander Badawy Chair in Egyptian Art & Archaeology\, Dept. of Near Eastern Studies\, Johns Hopkins University \nTitle: Studying & Publishing Theban Tomb n°7: (A) Tomb of the Scribe Ramose at Deir el-Medina \nAbstract:\nRamose served first as “Scribe of the Place of Truth” and later as “Royal Scribe” at Deir el-Medina during the reign of Ramesses II. A prominent member of the community\, closely connected to the royal administration\, he was probably the wealthiest inhabitant the village ever knew. More than one hundred monuments associated with him have survived\, including statues\, stelae\, ostraca\, and other inscribed objects. Despite the importance of this individual\, his tombs (TT 7 and TT 212) have never been fully published\, probably because of their poor state of preservation. My current research project aims to produce the first comprehensive study and publication of both monuments. The project is accompanied by a conservation and restoration program for TT 7\, undertaken in preparation for its future opening to the public.\nThis paper focuses on TT 7. It will present the project’s main research questions and methodology\, before examining the tomb’s architecture and its remarkable decorative program. TT 7 stands out in several respects. Its paintings are of exceptional quality\, executed by one or more highly accomplished artists working within the refined artistic tradition that still characterized the early years of Ramesses II’s reign. The decoration also preserves otherwise unattested iconographic details and artistic techniques that are only rarely encountered elsewhere. The tomb’s decorative programme further testifies to the importance of the Sokar festival in the Theban region during the Ramesside period. Finally\, it contains religious texts of major significance\, including the earliest known version of the ritual text for the protection of the Neshemet bark.\nThe paper will also present the conservation and restoration strategy adopted for the monument\, discussing the methodological choices that have guided the intervention in view of its future accessibility to visitors. By combining archaeological research\, art historical analysis\, and the history of religions\, the project seeks to provide a new foundation for the study and long-term preservation of one of the most remarkable monuments of Ramesside Deir el-Medina. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Marie-Lys Arnette studied at the École du Louvre (History of Art and Museology) and at the University of Paris-Sorbonne (Egyptology). After completing her PhD\, she served as Director of Publications and then as Scientific Member at the Institut français d’archéologie orientale (Ifao\, Cairo). Before joining Johns Hopkins University\, she taught Egyptian art history\, archaeology\, and Middle Egyptian language at the École du Louvre (France)\, the University Lumière Lyon 2 (France)\, and the University of Fribourg (Switzerland). She is a member of the Archaeological Mission at the Precinct of the Goddess Mut in South Karnak (JHU/Liverpool University) and of the Mission for the Study and Restoration of Deir el-Medina (Ifao).\nHer research falls within the field of historical anthropology\, approached through cultural history\, with particular interests in perceptions of the body and emotions\, food practices\, funerary imagery\, and\, more recently\, ludic practices. Across diverse topics\, her work consistently combines Egyptian textual sources\, iconography\, and material culture within a long-term perspective. Her research is characterized by a sustained engagement with interdisciplinary approaches drawn from the humanities and social sciences\, a perspective that is also central to her teaching. \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.

SUMMARY:Lives Beneath the City: Archaeology at Indianapolis’ Greenlawn Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Construction of the Henry Street Bridge brought renewed attention to portions of Indianapolis’ historic Old and New Burying Grounds\, later known collectively as Greenlawn Cemetery.\nArchaeologists documented more than 1\,700 burial shafts within the project area\, revealing a complex landscape shaped by nineteenth-century burial\, earlier relocation efforts\, and more than a century of urban development. This talk explores how archaeology\, bioarchaeology\, historical research\, and community collaboration are helping reconstruct the cemetery’s history and the lives of the people buried there\, while guiding their respectful care and eventual reburial.

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Screening: Homer\, Hollywood\, and Historical Context
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussion of the Archaeology Hour talk by Eric Cline (George Washington University). \nTwo movies\, twenty-two years apart: Wolfgang Peterson’s Troy with Brad Pitt in 2004\, and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey with Matt Damon in 2026. Discussions swirling around both have centered on faithfulness to Homer’s original stories\, but what about the actual historical context and content? This lecture will briefly put these two movies\, which have brought Homer’s epics to the silver screen\, into historical context by discussing what we know (or think we know) about the end of the Late Bronze Age\, the identity of the Sea Peoples\, whether there was actually a Trojan Horse\, and other questions that are likely to have come up around the dinner table. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:The History of Archaeology in Africa
DESCRIPTION:This talk by Dr. Tim Forssman (University of Mpumalanga) explores the development of archaeology on the African continent through four broad historical eras. It considers how colonialism\, independence\, changing intellectual traditions\, and African scholarship have shaped the questions archaeologists ask and the histories they produce\, before turning to a broader question: why does archaeology matter in contemporary Africa?

SUMMARY:Imperial Barge: Cleopatra the Goddess
DESCRIPTION:Charles Eliot Norton Memorial Lectureship \nSpeaker: Dr. Alison Futrell\, University of Arizona  \nAbstract:\nOne of the key motifs in popular representations of the last of the Ptolemies is Cleopatra’s Barge\, a nexus of seduction\, pleasure\, gratification. For the historical Cleopatra VII\, the barge was a political and religious platform for shaping positive interactions with diverse audiences in the ancient Mediterranean\, meant to stabilize and secure her realm and shape a vision for future authority\, with power strongly founded in the past. In Egypt\, Cleopatra reinforced connections with local powerbrokers and processed between ritual centers\, a dynamic divine ruler enacting key functions that ensured the practical and sacred continuity of her realm. Her famous Nile Cruise with Julius Caesar was a sacred pageant that featured her newly secured strength as queen\, goddess\, partner and chosen of the gods. Her notorious meeting with Antony on the barque of Isis was both a ritualized performance of royal leadership and the reassertion of dynastic claims\, the launch of a new Empire rising in the Eastern Mediterranean.

SUMMARY:Symposium Vesuvianum: Slavery and Humanity Revisited: The Impact of Slave Systems on Personal Experience
DESCRIPTION:Organizers: John Bodel\, Brown University; William Owens\, Ohio University; Roberta Stewart\, Dartmouth College \nIn his 1965 book Sklaverei und Humanität\, Joseph Vogt offered a description of Roman slavery in which the enslaved accommodated themselves to the moral universe created by their enslavers. A dozen years later Moses Finley delivered a riposte to Vogt in a lecture at the Collège de France on “Slavery and Humanity\,” in which he insisted on “a sharp distinction between more or less humane treatment of individual slaves by individual masters and the inhumanity of slavery as an institution”. Finley considered “the ambiguity inherent in slavery” to be “an excellent starting-point from which to examine the theme” but in the end concluded that the topic\, “slavery and humanity\, is plunged into the centre of modern moral and ideological controversy\, as much a field for the philosopher and the theologian as for the historian” (Ancient Slavery and Modern Ideology\, p. 122). \nNow\, nearly fifty years after Finley’s pronouncement\, we propose to return to the issue of slavery and humanity and to convene a group of scholars with diverse interests and methodologies to consider the impact of ancient Mediterranean slave systems on persons\, both the enslaved and the enslavers. What effect did systemic slavery have on the personal experiences and worldview of enslavers and the enslaved in ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern societies? What new insights into this question can be gained through methodologies developed over the past fifty years? Of particular relevance to the focus on persons are the distortions in the archive created by systems of domination. Such distortion is especially true for ancient Mediterranean slavery. Consideration of an enslaved person’s point of view often entails reading the ancient archive against the grain and increases our reliance on the comparative method and other heuristic devices as well as our obligation to employ them self-consciously and critically. \nWe solicit papers that consider any aspect of human experience in ancient Mediterranean or Near Eastern slavery. Possible topics include: the contexts of economic activity and social relations; affectual relations among the enslaved and between enslavers and enslaved; modes of resistance or accommodation; solidarity among the enslaved and among enslavers; religion and other aspects of cultural memory among the enslaved; trauma\, or the psychic assault of enslavement and its consequences. \nThe symposium will include three and a half days of papers and discussion. Papers will be 25-30 minutes long with time for discussion. The schedule will also include visits to selected sites nearby. Meals and housing will be provided by the Villa Vergiliana (a bed in a double room with breakfast and dinner is approximately €70 a day; single rooms are available at private hotel/B&B accommodations within walking distance of the Villa).

SUMMARY:Regions and Other Constructs in Pre-Hellenistic Western Anatolia
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Prof. Jana Mokrišová (Brown University) \nThe AIA’s 2026 Rodney S. Young Memorial Lecture  \nAbstract:\nWestern Anatolia was a multicultural space\, with much scholarly attention given to the interaction between Greeks and non-Greeks and maritime connectivity with the Greek world. A crucial reason for this is the tradition of post-Bronze Age migrations and the fact that by the Archaic period many coastal communities here were ‘Greek’\, explicitly claiming Greek identity as well as employing Greek institutions\, cult\, and language. This happened in Ionia and most of Aeolis\, while Karia and Lydia maintained a stronger connection to indigenous western Anatolian traditions. Surprisingly\, the way in which this process unfolded is still incompletely understood and often contested. \nDrawing on settlement patterns from the end of the Late Bronze Age to the Classical period\, this talk will shed light on the way in which archaeologists and historians have drawn cultural regional boundaries in western Anatolia. It will discuss their use as markers of connectivity and trace their development over time. It will then zoom onto the coastal and riverine corridors between Ephesos and Lydia to show that regionalization as a framework fails to account for cultural ambivalence that many communities there must have felt in their daily lives.

SUMMARY:AIA Türkiye: From Göbekli Tepe to Mount Nemrut & the Tigris River tour
DESCRIPTION:Travel with us beyond classical Türkiye\, with its monumental\, Greco-Roman ruins and Aegean sea backdrops. Find more history–and prehistory–amid the beauty of southeastern Türkiye\, on a route less traveled\, between Tarsus\, the birthplace of St. Paul\, and Diyarbakır\, set along the banks of the famous Tigris River that helped form the cradle of civilization. Along the way you will see the world’s earliest monumental temples\, dating back over 10\,000 years; explore excellent archaeological and mosaic museums; and enjoy diverse architecture\, from beehive-style mud houses to rock tombs\, and early monasteries to mosques. Enjoy local cuisine\, perhaps especially during our two-night stay in Gaziantep\, a city famous across Türkiye for its cuisine; and explore bazaars and workshops with local artisans and craftspeople. Our AIA lecturer is intimately familiar with this region’s deep history and diverse cultures. \nHighlights include: \n– Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe\, two prehistoric sites dating back to 9500-8000 B.C.\, suggesting that complex societies and monumental architecture existed well before the advent of agriculture\n– The world-famous\, 19-foot-tall statues and burial sanctuary of King Nimrod (Antiochus I Theos)\, at more than 7\,000 feet above sea level in Mount Nemrut National Park\n– Karatepe-Aslantaş National Park\, Türkiye’s first open-air museum\, with well-preserved Hittite ruins and statues dating from the 8th century B.C.\n– Dara\, one of the most important trade centers of ancient Mesopotamia\, featuring rock tombs dating back to the 5th century A.D.\n– The flooded ancient city of Hasankeyf (flooded in 2020 for dam construction)\, whose artifacts were removed to the Batman Archaeological Museum that we will visit\, and some of whose important structures we will visit at a new\, nearby location\n– Diyarbakır’s city walls\, the second-longest on Earth (after China’s Great Wall)\, which contain a castle and a medieval church\n– Fascinating museums\, such as the Zeugma Mosaic Museum\, the world’s largest mosaic museum\, with exquisite Hellenistic Greek and Roman mosaics; and the Haleplibahçe Mosaic Museum\, a domed structure protecting a Roman villa complex that was saved from a 2006 urban construction project\n– An optional\, post-tour extension to Lake Van\, including visits to Van (Tushpa) Castle\, center of the Kingdom of Urartu in the 9th to 6th centuries B.C.\, and the ruins of the Urartian fortress of Sarduri-Hinili at Çavuştepe
