SUMMARY:Highland\, Lowland: Chlorite Landscapes of the Iranian Plateau in the Third Millennium BCE (Lecture by Breton Langendorfer)
DESCRIPTION:In 2001\, flooding near the city of Jiroft in southeastern Iran exposed a vast Bronze Age cemetery. Large quantities of vessels made from a dark soft stone known as chlorite or steatite began to appear on antiquities markets\, the majority of which were successfully repatriated by Iranian authorities. These events spurred new archaeological exploration in the Jiroft area\, leading to the discovery of a previously unknown urban polity located just south of the modern city in the valley of the Halil Rud river. The discovery also prompted scholars to recontextualize these distinct objects\, found across the Middle East in the later 3rd millennium BCE and formerly referred to by the appellation “Intercultural Style\,” as grave goods of the so-called Jiroft Civilization. This project explores the aesthetic values expressed within this class of artifacts\, using an example now held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a window into evocations of sensory experience\, funerary otherworlds\, and an extremely early tradition of landscape depiction I argue they present. \nThis Robert J. Braidwood Lecture is presented by Breton Langendorfer.

SUMMARY:Life\, Death\, and Disease: Insights form Petra’s Tombs and Cemeteries
DESCRIPTION:Kershaw Lectures in Near East Archaeology \nDr. Megan Perry\, “Life\, Death\, and Disease: Insights from Petra’s Tombs and Cemeteries” \nThursday\, February 26 at 5:00pm Eastern\nUMass Amherst\, Herter Hall 301\nFor Zoom attendance\, register here: https://umass-amherst.zoom.us/meeting/register/GD44nDLmTwKs_QZUh44AFw \nABSTRACT\nEnsconced within the sandstone hills of southern Jordan\, evidence from mortuary structures in the ancient Nabataean city of Petra tells powerful stories about life\, illness\, death\, and commemoration of its residents. This talk will focus on their experiences across the life course through bioarchaeological evidence of disease\, diet\, and immigration from the skeletal remains recovered from tombs within the city. In addition\, evidence of mortuary behaviors within these tombs will reveal the rich and varied forms of remembrance after their deaths. This integrated approach\, shifting away from Petra’s temples and monuments\, offers new perspectives on resilience\, identity\, and memory in a dynamic ancient city. \nSPEAKER BIO\nDr. Perry is a Professor of Biological Anthropology at East Carolina University. She teaches courses on human osteology\, death and disease in Classical antiquity\, and human diseases and ancient environments. Most of her research focuses on 1st century B.C. – 7th century A.D. Jordan\, but she supervises graduate students interested in numerous aspects of bioarchaeology. She has been working on archaeological projects in Jordan for 30 years and is a member of the Board of Trustees of the American Center of Research (ACOR) in Amman\, Jordan. She is currently Director of the Petra North Ridge Project\, which focuses on the excavation of 1st century A.D. tombs and 1st – 4th century domestic structures. \nThis year’s AIA National Lecture (Kershaw Lectures in Near East Archaeology) is co-sponsored by the AIA–Western Massachusetts Society and the UMass Amherst Department of Classics.

SUMMARY:Monumental Ritual Texts in Ancient Egyptian Pyramids
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid Lecture\nMonumental Ritual Texts in Ancient Egyptian Pyramids\nWednesday\, February 25\, 6:00–7:00 pm ET\, Advance registration recommended for online and in-person attendance\nGeological Lecture Hall\, 24 Oxford Street\, Cambridge\, MA \nSpeaker: Christelle Alvarez\, Assistant Professor of Egyptology\, Brown University \nThe earliest large-scale records of ancient Egyptian religious literature come from Saqqara\, an important royal cemetery from Egypt’s Old Kingdom period. For nearly two centuries\, the subterranean chambers beneath some of Saqqara’s pyramids were inscribed with hundreds of ritual texts carved in hieroglyphs. In this lecture\, Christelle Alvarez will discuss the final Old Kingdom pyramid to bear such inscriptions: the tomb of King Qakare Ibi. Smaller than its predecessors\, badly damaged\, and marked by architectural and textual idiosyncrasies\, this monument has often been dismissed as marginal to the main Pyramid Text tradition. Alvarez argues that Qakare Ibi’s pyramid actually provides a rare glimpse into the process of monumentalizing ritual texts\, revealing how this tradition was composed\, transmitted\, and continually reshaped over time. \nFree admission. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage starting at 5:00 pm. Presented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science and Culture. \nFragment photo by Christelle Alvarez

SUMMARY:The Origins of the Alphabet and How It Spread Across the World
DESCRIPTION:Public Lecture by Professor Wayne T. Pitard \nAbstract:\nEssentially all of the alphabetic scripts in the world descend from a single script invented probably during the 20th century BCE by a Canaanite in the southern Levant. This lecture will provide a tour of the extraordinary development of the alphabet from its beginnings to its eventual spread across the Mediterranean and the world. We will examine the script’s origin and how the signs were conceptualized by their creator(s). We will look at the alphabet’s extension\, first across the eastern Mediterranean where it developed into the distinctive Ugaritic\, Phoenician\, Hebrew\, and Aramaic scripts\, and then moved southward into the Arabian Peninsula\, where it evolved into the Arabic system. Then we will examine how the early alphabet\, which only expressed consonants\, was revolutionized by the Greeks\, who began using some of the letters as vowels. We will follow the development of the Greek alphabet into both the Latin and the Cyrillic alphabets that exist throughout Europe and much of northern Asia. Finally\, we will touch upon the spread of the Arabic alphabet across northern Africa and eastward into India\, and the Latin alphabet’s movement to the Americas and parts of southern Africa during the European colonial period of the 15th-20th centuries. All of this has made the alphabetic writing system the most widespread method of writing in the world.

SUMMARY:Society Sunday 2026 Public Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Marketing the Etruscans—From Mystery to Modern Media \nJoin us as the AIA Societies Committee presents a virtual presentation and Q&A with Jessica Tilley. This presentation will also be available in American Sign Language. \nOften deemed the ‘mysterious’ Etruscans\, this pre-Roman civilization of early Italy has fought a hard-won battle in finding its place in the field of Classical Archaeology. Various titans of American Etruscology\, including this year’s AIA Gold Medalist Nancy de Grummond\, have dedicated decades of research to highlighting the value of Etruscan material in answering larger questions related to ritual practice\, cross-cultural interaction\, and Mediterranean trade networks. In recent years\, Etruscan material has been at the foreground of widely publicized repatriation cases and cultural heritage protection conversations. This buzz culminated in the globally acclaimed 2023 film La chimera about a band of Etruscan tomb robbers. Looking ahead\, Etruscology is primed for engaging in the development of current archaeological theory\, with ongoing research relevant to our multi-cultural\, interconnected world. In this lecture\, Dr. Jessica Tilley outlines the dynamic history of the Etruscan civilization’s modern reception and highlights the ways in which it is uniquely positioned to contribute to ongoing dialogue around decolonialism\, queer theory\, globalization\, and network theory in Mediterranean archaeology. \nDr. Jessica Tilley is currently the Visiting Assistant Professor of Classics at Centre College. Her research explores questions of postcolonialism and globalization theory in the ancient Mediterranean world through examination of cross-cultural funerary practices. She has excavated at sites across Italy\, Greece\, and the southeastern U.S. and is actively involved in cultural heritage public outreach. \nThe lecture will also be available in American Sign Language 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.

SUMMARY:Piramesse – from the City of Wonders to Terra Incognita
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 21\n3:30 pm EST\nVirtual on ZOOM\nFREE lecture; RSVP required for Zoom link \nSpeaker: Dr. Henning Franzmeier\, Senior Research Associate\, The Cyprus Institute\, Nicosia \nTitle: Piramesse – from the City of Wonders to Terra Incognita \nAbstract:\nWhere today just a typical Egyptian village is located\, surrounded by fertile\, green fields\, 3300 years ago\, Ramesses II founded his capital Piramesse. In contrast to Akhenaton’s Akhetaton\, Piramesse was not founded at a virgin site but instead Ramesses II chose a site with a lot of tradition to which he could connect. During his long reign\, the city became the one of the largest settlements not only of Egypt but the whole koiné spanning the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia. Texts portray Piramesse as a place where food is abundant\, where temples and colossal statues were erected\, and where the king would receive the envoys bringing the silver tablet with the famous peace treaty with the Hittite Empire. A few years later\, the king received his Hittite wife after the god Seth had made winter become summer so that the long journey could be finished safely. Moreover\, it was a military headquarters and center of trade between Egypt and the outside world. When entering Egypt\, Piramesse was the first city the traveler would have seen\, serving as a showcase and a stage of pharaoh’s power. \nBut what does remain of the city and what can we say after nearly a century of excavations? And what happened so that the memory of Piramesse only survived via its mention in the bible as Ramses\, while the location remained disputed and was only identified by Mahmoud Hamza in 1930? \nThis lecture will tell the biography of Piramesse from its beginnings before Ramesses II through its heydays in the 19th Dynasty until its decline when it finally vanished almost completely from the surface after the end of the New Kingdom. Using the results of the excavations since 1928\, the major features of the city will be shown and finds will be used to illustrate the long and rich history of the city. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Henning Franzmeier has been working at Qantir-Piramesse for the past 20 years and directed the excavations since 2015. Over the past ten years\, he has taught at UCL Qatar in Doha\, the University of Innsbruck\, and the University of Bologna\, and also worked for the Humboldt-University in Berlin and The Cyprus Institute in Nicosia. In 2014\, he received his PhD from the Free University of Berlin with a thesis on the New Kingdom cemeteries at the Middle Egyptian site of Sedment – a reassessment of the 1920/21 excavations of William Matthew Flinders Petrie. His MA thesis at the University of Göttingen dealt with a well of Ramesses II at Samana near Qantir-Piramesse. His interests range from settlement archaeology to the history of Egyptology and the analysis of funerary assemblages. \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:Egyptian Blue\, humanity’s first inorganic pigment
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture by Professor John McCloy\, Washington State University\, who will present results of an investigation into the materials science and processing parameters to fabricate Egyptian blue faience. \nRecently\, our group at Washington State University\, with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute\, recreated Egyptian blue to uncover the science behind its color\, ranging from gray or green to deep blue. We produced 12 versions of Egyptian blue and compared them with artifacts\, using advanced X-ray techniques\, spectroscopy\, and quantitative color measurements. We found Egyptian blue is a complex mixture of phases\, with hue controlled by particle size\, glass content\, and cuprorivaite–silica ratios. Even small changes in materials or heating could dramatically shift its color. \nThese findings reveal ancient craftspeople as skilled materials scientists. Beyond cultural insights and conservation\, Egyptian blue’s infrared glow continues to inspire modern technologies\, linking past creativity with future innovation.

SUMMARY:U-2 Over Egypt: A Remote Survey of the Nile Delta using Cold War Aerial Photography
DESCRIPTION:The KY Society of the AIA and the University of Louisville Department of Anthropology present a free public lecture by Dr. Oren Siegel (University of Toronto). During the height of the Cold War\, the United States flew a series of reconnaissance missions using U-2 spy planes over Egypt. Film negatives from two flights that cover much of the Nile Valley and Nile Delta from 1959 have recently been declassified\, and the resulting imagery is both earlier and higher resolution than publicly available CORONA satellite imagery. This talk will discuss the ongoing work by the Brown-Toronto U2 Aerial Photography of Egypt Project to digitize this imagery from the National Archives and Records Administration and make these photographs publicly available to all interested researchers. Beyond this\, I will showcase the results of our ongoing remote survey of Beheira Governorate using U-2 imagery\, highlighting how this imagery gives us a unique window onto a landscape that has changed significantly over the last 5 decades. The talk will close by looking at how this compares to other satellite imagery and aerial photography and highlight the potential of this dataset for archaeological research.

DESCRIPTION:About the lecture: \nIn 2023\, excavators in Pompeii found a bakery in the Casa di Rustio Vero that was separated from the house—and the rest of the world—by metal bars. The excavators interpreted the bars as an indication of incarceration and the use of convicts as labor. This lecture explores the evidence for convict labor in bakeries and argues that the material consequences of enslavement and incarceration are probably indistinguishable in the setting of commerical activity. Deploying both textual and material evidence\, Benton will show the various ways that punitive labor grafted onto different systems and scales of production. \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Jared Benton\, associate professor of art at Old Dominion University\, is co-director of the Saïss Plain and Zerhoun Massif archaeology project\, a survey of the plain SE of Volubilis in Morocco. He has previously excavated workshops in Volubilis and was a field supervisor for the American Excavations at Morgantina from 2013-2020. His book\, The Bread Makers\, explores Roman commercial baking\, with a focus on how production would differ not only between communities but also between operators with different investment tolerances. With a number of co-authors\, he recently published an article on the structure and archaeobotany of a bakery at Volubilis in Mouseion.

SUMMARY:From Farmers to Kings: The Emergence of Social Hierarchy in Prehistoric Europe
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by William Parkinson; William (Bill) Parkinson is an archaeologist who specializes in European and Eastern Mediterranean Prehistory. His anthropological and archaeological research explores the social dynamics of early village societies and the emergence of early states. He has over 30 years of experience conducting archaeological fieldwork and developing museum exhibitions for the Field Museum. \nThe modern world is plagued with unprecedented levels of social\, economic\, and political inequalities. But these inequities did not happen overnight; in places like southeastern Europe they emerged over the course of thousands of years as the small egalitarian farming villages of the Neolithic gave way to some of the earliest hierarchical kingdoms in the Iron Age. This is the story that was told in the First Kings of Europe exhibition\, an ambitious international collaboration between twenty-six museums in eleven countries in southeastern Europe. In this presentation\, Bill Parkinson gives an overview of his archaeological research into the emergence of social hierarchy in the region\, as well as an overview of the exhibition he co-curated with his long-time collaborator\, Attila Gyucha.
