Archaeology-Hour Livestream: Rosemary Joyce. “Complex Society Without Rulers”
2025-03-19 17:00 - 18:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Whitman College Maxey Hall 207, 173 Stanton St., Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
For many people, the word “archaeology” conjures up images of monuments, often interpreted as traces of the lives of powerful rulers who can seem to be inevitable parts of any urban, agricultural society. But there are other stories archaeology can tell about societies in which there was no apparent ruler, but nevertheless show the hallmarks of “complexity.” This lecture explores one such society, the ancient Ulúa culture of northern Honduras, neighbors to Classic Maya states. In Ulúa culture, people used religion to reinforce social relations in a society of wealthy farmers who enjoyed artworks of extraordinary beauty… without rulers. Please join us in-person to watch this livestreamed Zoom lecture.

Spring 2025 National Lecture by Dr. Kiersten Neumann: Collecting the Ancient World: Early Explorations, Encyclopedic Museums, and World’s Exhibitions
2025-03-20 17:30 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | MA
Where is this artifact from? Who does it belong to? How did it get here? Who’s telling its story? Critical inquiry into the practice and politics of museums has reached a new zenith in contemporary discourse. From discussions of acquisition and repatriation to provenience (archaeological findspot) and provenance (an object’s ownership history) and the ethics of curation and modes of display, museum and art professionals—and the general public alike—are deliberating on the concept of museums and the responsibilities of such institutions towards the collections in their care. This talk will explore the early history of museums and collecting practices with a focus on cultural heritage collections from West Asia—beginning with the archaeological explorations of “the Orient” and colonial collecting practices dating back to the nineteenth century, followed by the creation of the “encyclopedic museum,” the popularity of world’s exhibitions, and the politics of representation and reception.

Remembered Places, Significant Spaces: Room Closure Practices in the Pueblo Southwest
2025-03-20 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture, 2316 W 1st Ave, Spokane, WA, 99201, United States
Dr. Samantha Fladd, Washington State University., is an anthropological archaeologist who focuses on the Southwest United States, specifically the Ancestral Pueblos of the Four Corners region.
Architectural spaces create and are created by the social practices of and relationships among the people who occupy and interact within them. Just as spaces become places, people become communities through the accumulation of these actions. Because of this intimate relationship, modifications to spaces make physically manifest negotiations of identities and memories that occur within their walls. In this talk, I examine two ways modifications to space can be seen in the archaeological record of the Pueblo Southwest: architectural alterations and material deposition. Drawing largely on examples from Chaco Canyon and the Homol’ovi Settlement Cluster, I utilize detailed excavation records from the Chaco Research Archive and Homol’ovi Research Program to identify patterns of room modifications. By combining traditional architectural analyses with depositional, the full trajectory of a space, from foundation and occupation through closure, can be analyzed as it relates to constructions of identity and memory. I argue that the accumulation of practices of spatial preparation, modification, and closure speak to the identities of groups in the past and continue to manifest tangible connections with descendent communities today.

Alternate Realities: Reconsidering Power, History, and Representation - Mary L. Cornille
2025-03-21 09:00 - 2025-03-22 17:00 (America/New_York) | Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 465 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, 02115, United States
The 41st Annual Mary L. Cornille (GRS ’87) Boston University Graduate Symposium on the History of Art & Architecture
Submissions due: February 1st, 2025
Symposium dates: March 21st – 22nd, 2025
Alternate Realities: Reconsidering Power, History, and Representation
The 41st anniversary of the Mary L. Cornille (GRS ’87) Boston University Graduate Symposium in the History of Art & Architecture invites proposals for papers exploring themes of alterity through critically interrogating dominant historical narratives, canonical art prejudices and hegemonic power structures in visual and material culture, and in the field of art history.
Alternate realities exist beyond the accepted canon and the archive within the field of art history. This symposium will give emerging scholars a platform to unearth, illuminate, and honor those narratives and voices that have been marginalized, silenced, or erased within the dominant historical record. As educators and museum professionals, we are constantly at risk of reifying the elite and hegemonic potential of cultural institutions. Mining the museum and excavating the archive are at the heart of this symposium, but to combat complacency and ignorance, histories and realities that have been pushed to the margins must also be recognized. We seek papers that center alternative, subversive and resistance-oriented worldviews proffered by artists and communities through strategies that amplify community truths, cultural beliefs, and oral traditions, while questioning accepted canonical and archival structures. In the pursuit of expanding our perception of what is real and true, some of the questions we may ask include: which people and places have been left out of the art historical narrative? What accepted ideas in art history can be dismantled, expanded, or eradicated? How can we, as scholars in the field, be proactive and shape the field to handle alterity?
Possible subjects include but are not limited to: critical fabulation, global modernisms, reassessing archives, restitution and repatriation, collecting practices and institutions, the innovation of institutional pedagogical practices; art academies; workshops; counter-colonial and decolonial practices; south-south alliances; reclaiming visual autonomy; myth-making; alternate mediums; alternate time frames.
Submissions should align with the goal of this symposium to center BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, feminist, and counter-colonial voices, fostering a space for these perspectives to resonate within the academy and beyond. We encourage interdisciplinary approaches, bringing together art history, philosophy, architectural history, cultural studies, literature, and more. We welcome submissions from graduate students at all stages and from any area of study in the global history of art and architecture. Papers must be original and unpublished. Please email as a single Word document: title, abstract (250 words or less), and CV to artsymp@bu.edu. The deadline for submissions is February 1st, 2025. Selected speakers will be notified in early February. Presentations will be 15 minutes in length, followed by a question-and-answer session and keynote lecture. The symposium will be held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, on Friday, March 21st and Saturday, March 22nd, 2025.
This event is generously sponsored by Mary L. Cornille (GRS ’87). For more information, please visit our website or email artsymp@bu.edu.

2025 Mesoamerican Symposium
2025-03-22 09:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Cal State LA, 5151 State University Drive, Los Angeles, CA, 90032, United States
Cal State LA’s Art History Society presents the 2025 Mesoamerican Symposium on Saturday, March 22, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., at the University-Student Union Theatre. The full-day event is organized as a homage to acclaimed archaeologist John M. D. Pohl and art historian Manuel Aguilar-Moreno.
John M. D. Pohl is an adjunct professor in the Department of Anthropology at Cal State LA. A specialist in ancient Mesoamerican art and writing systems, Pohl has directed numerous archaeological excavations and surveys in Canada, the United States, México, and Central America as well as Europe. He is the author of several books on the ancient worlds of Mesoamerica including Exploring Mesoamerica, The Aztec Warrior: 1325-1519, and The Legend of Eight Deer. His unusual background in archaeology, art history, theater, and film production have taken him from museum exhibition design and development to writing, producing, designing, and directing feature and television productions.
Manuel Aguilar-Moreno is a professor in the Department of Art at Cal State LA. An expert in the art and culture of Latin America, he conducts research in the art and history of pre-Columbian and Colonial Latin America. He has co-directed an interdisciplinary research project about “Ulama: The Survival of the Mesoamerican Ballgame” and the research project, “Walls of Passion: The Murals of Los Angeles,” that featured documentations and analysis of approximately 500 murals of the city of Los Angeles. He also has written countless articles in edited books, journals, magazines, and newspapers on the history of Mexican art as well as world art in the United States, Mexico, and Europe.
Both Pohl and Aguilar-Moreno will be presented the Tlamatini Awards honoring their invaluable contributions to the field of Mesoamerica during the 4:45 p.m. closing ceremony. The awards presentation will include Stephen Trzaskoma, dean of the university’s College of Arts and Letters, and Carlos González Gutiérrez, Consul General of Mexico.
The theme for this year’s symposium is “At the Crossroads of Civilizations: The Cultures of West Mexico Through Time.” This conference will present a spectrum of interdisciplinary research through innovations in archaeological methods and historical and ethnographic studies, revealing West Mexico’s critical role in over two millennia of Pacific coastal influence extending from the Greater American Southwest, through northern Mexico to Mesoamerica and beyond.

“Barbarians” and Bronzes: The Origins of Civilization in Ancient Vietnam
2025-03-23 14:00 - 15:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | AIA-LA, 1201 9th St., Manhattan Beach, United States
Two thousand years ago, China’s Han Empire stretched its imperial grasp beyond the mountains far to the south of the Central Plains, reaching into the domains of “barbarians”. Along its southernmost periphery lay the Red River Valley (RRV) of present-day Vietnam. In their chronicles, the Han claimed that they “civilized” the RRV’s “barbarians”. In contrast, many Vietnamese believe this time and location represents the birthplace of an indigenous, Vietnamese civilization that predates Han arrival. This view has been traditionally based on colorful tales and legends. One of the most enduring accounts tells of the Au Lac Kingdom and its capital city, known as Co Loa. Thus, at the heart of ongoing, intense, and sometimes nationalistic debates are two contrasting views. One sees “civilization” as a byproduct of Han arrival, while the other sees it as the outcome of local, indigenous cultural traditions. This lecture presents new and ongoing archaeological research that addresses these themes and questions. Specifically, it highlights recent investigations at the Co Loa site, considered to be the first capital and earliest city of ancient Vietnam.

Free Public Lecture – Online & In Person
Margaret Geoga, Assistant Professor of Egyptology, The University of Chicago
“The Teaching of Amenemhat” is the only ancient Egyptian literary work to describe the assassination of a king. Told from the perspective of the murdered Pharaoh Amenemhat I, the poem is remarkable for its grim subject matter and popularity in ancient Egypt and Nubia. While previous scholarship on “Amenemhat” has focused on the poem’s composition, Geoga’s lecture will focus on its enduring legacy after 1,000 years in circulation. Margaret Geoga will explore who read “The Teaching of Amenemhat,” how they understood it, and how ancient interpretations differ from those of modern Egyptologists.
Advance registration recommended for in-person and online attendance. Free event parking at 52 Oxford Street Garage.
Margaret Geoga is assistant professor of Egyptology at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures and the Department of Middle Eastern Studies at The University of Chicago. Her research focuses on ancient Egyptian literature, scribal culture, textual transmission, and reception in both ancient Egypt and later periods. Her other research interests include ancient Egyptian intellectual history, translation, literary theory, and the history of Egyptology. Her work has been supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, and the American Philosophical Society. She is also a Junior Fellow in the Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography (2023–25). Geoga holds a PhD in Egyptology from Brown University, where she also completed a concurrent MA in Comparative Literature. Prior to The University of Chicago, she was an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Humanities at the Wolf Humanities Center of the University of Pennsylvania. She also taught at Brown University and Providence College. Her current book project focuses on “The Teaching of Amenemhat,” an enigmatic Middle Egyptian poem depicting the murder of a pharaoh. Combining textual criticism, material philology, and reception theory, the monograph investigates how this unusual and highly popular text was passed down, edited, and reinterpreted over the course of approximately 1,000 years by its many ancient readers in both Egypt and Nubia.

Argilos After Philip II: Fortifying Lands, Cultivating Wealth
2025-03-27 18:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Concordia University, SGW, LB-322, Montreal, Canada
Following its conquest by Philip II of Macedon in 357 BCE, the city of Argilos was abandoned, and its land redistributed to a Macedonian general. Responsible for overseeing his territory within the expanding Macedonian realm, he also capitalized on the region’s olive oil production, as evidenced by the remains found on the Acropolis of Argilos. This talk will explore the dual role of Argilos in the post-conquest period, highlighting its strategic significance and economic exploitation under Macedonian rule.

Using AI and Remote Sensing to Fight Looting and the Archaeo-Mafie
2025-03-27 18:00 - 19:30 (Europe/Rome) | John Cabot University – Aula Magna Regina, Via della Lungara 233, Roma, Roma, 00165, Italy
Looting of historical sites and monuments still happens in Italy, every day. There is only one reason for this criminal activity: money. And with illegal revenues comes organized crime. Indeed Italian Mafias are involved in trafficking illicit antiquities and supporting professional looters who can now use tools like drones for rapid site identification and theft.
To counter these threats, the Centre for Cultural Heritage Technology (CCHT) of the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (ITT) has pioneered the use of Artificial Intelligence. Their tools can now sift through vast amounts of satellite imagery to pinpoint illegal excavations and analyze online communications to reconstruct major trafficking groups and their criminal networks.
In this talk, CCHT Director Dr. Arianna Traviglia will detail how these tools can be used to detect and prevent looting and to provide intelligence against illicit trafficking of cultural goods.

Amelia Edwards’ United States Lecture Tour and the Beginnings of American Egyptology

ANNUAL KORSYN LECTURE
In-Person Lecture
Saturday, March 29 at 3:30 pm EST
Penn Museum, Classroom L2
Speaker: Dr. Kathleen Sheppard
Lecture Topic: Amelia Edwards’ United States Lecture Tour and the Beginnings of American Egyptology
Abstract:
On 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.
Often 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.
Obviously 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.
Speaker Bio:
Dr. 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.

2025 Gordon R. Willey Lecture
David M. Carballo, Professor of Anthropology, Archaeology, and Latin American Studies, Boston University
Teotihuacan, 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.
Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Advance registration recommended for in-person and online attendance
Presented 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.
