SUMMARY:Great Lecture: Saving the Archaeology and Monuments of Lower Nubia
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in 1902\, the archaeological sites and monuments of Lower Nubia were increasingly threatened by the construction of the series of dams on the Nile River at Aswan. By the early 1960s\, the ancient land of Lower Nubia had vanished forever beneath the waters of Lake Nasser. Through international efforts\, some of the cultural heritage of Lower Nubia was saved (including monuments like the temples of Abu Simbel and Philae); most other sites\, such as the fortress of Buhen\, a focus of work for the Penn Museum\, were destroyed. This talk will examine these sites\, the program of rescue archaeology\, and the role of the Penn Museum in rescuing the archaeological heritage of Lower Nubia. \nSpeaker: Josef Wegner\, Associate Professor of Egyptian Archaeology\, Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and Curator\, Egyptian Section\, Penn Museum

SUMMARY:ARCE-PA Symposium in Honor of Dr. David B. O'Connor: Abydos Through the Ages
DESCRIPTION:ARCE-PA Symposium in Honor of Dr. David B. O’Connor\nSaturday\, June 10\, 9am-5pm\nHybrid Event: Penn Museum\, Rainey Auditorium & Webinar \nLecture is FREE to attend\, but requires registration for in-person and virtual options. Register here: https://www.penn.museum/calendar/1584/arce-pa-symposium \nSymposium Topic: Abydos Through the Ages \nAbstract:\nARCE-PA’s June 10 2023 symposium on the archaeology of Abydos will honor the legacy of Dr. David B. O’Connor. In 1967 O’Connor\, then Curator of the University Museum’s Egyptian Section\, started the Pennsylvania-Yale Expedition to Abydos. During the 1960s-1990s his research at Abydos focused on North Abydos with its cemeteries and temples linked with the cult of the Egyptian funerary god Osiris. Over the course of his later career\, both at Penn and then at the Institute of Fine Arts\, New York University\, O’Connor was instrumental in fostering a broadening range of intensive archaeological activity at Abydos. New archaeological research occurred in numerous areas such as the late Old Kingdom to Middle Kingdom mortuary landscape of the Middle Cemetery\, the royal funerary complexes of Kings Senwosret III and Ahmose at South Abydos\, and the memorial temples of Kings Thutmose III and Ramses II. In 2009 O’Connor published Abydos: Egypt’s First Pharaohs and the Cult of Osiris\, a book that examined the rich and ever-changing archaeological picture of ancient Abydos. With the continued sponsorship of the Penn Museum\, Institute of Fine Arts/New York University\, University of Michigan\, and other institutions\, the program of North American and Egyptian archaeologists working at Abydos\, and in Egypt\, has grown and prospered thanks to the foundation provided by O’Connor’s long dedication to Egyptian archaeology and the site of Abydos. The symposium will include lectures by scholars who started their careers under David O’Connor\, examining past discoveries\, their most recent archaeological research at Abydos\, and the ways in which O’Connor shaped their own careers. \nAbydos Symposium Speakers:\nDr. Matthew D. Adams\, Senior Research Scholar\, Institute of Fine Arts\, NYU\nDr. Janet Richards\, Professor of Egyptology in the Department of Middle East Studies\, Univ. of Michigan and Curator of Dynastic Egyptian Collections at the Kelsey Museum\nDr. Josef Wegner\, Professor of Egyptian Archaeology in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and Curator in the Egyptian Section of the Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology\nDr. Stephen Harvey\, Director of the Ahmose and Tetisheri Project\nDr. Michelle Marlar\, Director of Egyptian Archaeological Missions at the Houston Museum of Natural Science\nMr. Hazem Salah Abdullah\, Senior Inspector\, Sohag Antiquities Office\, Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities\, EGYPT\nMr. Mohamed Abu El-Yazid\, Senior Inspector\, Sohag Antiquities Office\, Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities\, EGYPT\nMr. Ayman Damarany\, Inspector\, Sohag Antiquities Office\, Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities\, EGYPT\nDr. Sameh Iskander\, Research Associate\, Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW)\nDr. Diana Craig Patch\, Lila Acheson Wallace Curator in Charge\, Dept. of Egyptian Art\, Metropolitan Museum \nCoffee & Tea will be available starting at 8:30am. There will be a 1.5 hour break for lunch.

SUMMARY:Hiking Scotland's North Highlands & Isle of Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Join archaeologist Mary MacLeod Rivett and a small group of like-minded travelers on this 12-day tour of Scotland’s remote north Highlands and the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. Mostly we will explore off the well-beaten Highland tourist trail\, and along the way we will be treated to an abundance of archaeological and historical sites\, striking scenery – including high cliffs\, sea lochs\, sandy and rocky bays\, mountains\, and glens – and\, of course\, excellent hiking. Scotland’s long and varied history stretches back many thousands of years\, and archaeological remains ranging from Neolithic cairns and stone circles to Iron Age brochs (ancient dry stone buildings unique to Scotland)\, medieval castles\, and deserted clearance villages cover these landscapes. Seven of our touring days involve hikes of 4.5 to 6 miles per day\, and we will rest and reflect in comfortable hotels that extend Highland warmth and hospitality.

SUMMARY:Oman & the UAE: Crossroads of the Indian Ocean & Arabian Gulf with optional\, pre-tour extension to Qatar!
DESCRIPTION:Delve into the cultural and geographical diversity of Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the company of seasoned study leader Trevor Marchand. Our custom-designed itinerary highlights ancient sites and historical monuments\, and helps illustrate how influential geography has been on the region’s history and how the region’s maritime history has linked it to elsewhere in Arabia and as far as Africa and southern Asia. Begin with three full days in the UAE. Still a little fishing village as of the 18th century\, Dubai was a center of pearl exports until the 1930s. Similarly\, Abu Dhabi was founded as a simple pearl and fishing village. After the discovery of oil in the Arabian Gulf\, Dubai became one of the wealthiest cities in the world\, and Abu\nDhabi was transformed into a luxurious modern metropolis and the capital of the UAE. But this region was settled many centuries earlier\, and we will observe how the old and the new co-exist in intriguing ways. Spend the balance of our time exploring Oman\, which dominated for centuries the maritime trade routes from Moorish Spain to Canton (modern-day Guangzhou\, China). Her seafaring merchants traded in such commodities of civilization as frankincense\, myrrh\, silk\, gold\, spices\, and coffee. Today\, Oman takes pride in sharing its rich history with visitors\, as demonstrated in its world-class museums. Altogether we will learn about these countries’ histories\, cultures\, art\, and architecture while witnessing their great geographical diversity\, from spectacular\ndeserts and wadis to pristine coastlines\, including a reserve for the endangered green sea turtle.

SUMMARY:Second International Symposium on the ARCHAEOLOGY OF WESTERN ANATOLIA
DESCRIPTION:We are glad to inform you that an international symposium on Archaeology and history of the Cayster (Küçük Menderes) Valley in south-eastern inland part of Izmir\, Turkey will take place on November 17-18\, 2023 on Zoom. Küçük Menderes (“Little Meander”)\, Cayster River or Kaystros River (Ancient Greek: Κάϋστρος\, French: Caÿstre) or Caystrus River is a river south of İzmir\, Turkey. It flows westward between the ranges of Mount Tmolos and Mount Messogis through “wide\, thickly settled and productive” plains (Strabo 13.4.13). Cayster (Küçük Menderes) Valley had an economy based on agriculture in ancient and medieval times as well as today. Although the settlement history of the Cayster (Küçük Menderes) Valley begins with prehistoric times\, it can be said with the help of archaeological data that the urbanization extends to the Hellenistic Period. Intended to bring together scholars of Greek\, Roman and Byzantine archaeology to discuss a range of issues concerning Cayster (Küçük Menderes) Valley\, this electronic conference is an excellent opportunity to increase our knowledge about this region. Papers engageging the following themes and topics are invited: \n– Cayster (Küçük Menderes) Valley during the Archaic\, Classical\, Hellenistic\, Roman and Byzantine periods\,\n– Archaeological field projects in Cayster (Küçük Menderes) Valley\,\n– Ancient Greek\, Latin and Byzantine authors and other textual as well as cartographic sources\,\n– Miscellanea. \nOn all themes and questions\, all approaches and methods susceptible to bring some progress to our current knowledge are of course welcome: archaeology\, ancient history\, historical geography\, epigraphy\, numismatic\, history of art\, cultural anthropology etc. The symposium will take place virtually on Zoom. All the readings and discussions in our e-conference will be in English\, and recorded for later viewing on YouTube. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in 2025. The symposium is free of charge.\nWe would be delighted\, if you could consider contributing to our symposium and contact us with the required information below before September 9\, 2023. Our e-mail address is: ergun.lafli@deu.edu.tr\nThe organizers seek to widen participation at this symposium\, and would like to encourage colleagues from all parts of the world to attend. We kindly request that you alert any interested researches\, colleagues and students within your research community who would be interested in participating at this e-conference\, either by forwarding our first circular and poster through Academia\, Researchgate\, Facebook\, Twitter\, Instagram or other similar social media\, or by printing them and displaying in your institution. Please share them also on your ListServs. We hope that you will be able to join us on Zoom\, and look forward to seeing you!
