SUMMARY:Great Lecture: Marshland of Cities: Lagash and its Neighbors ca. 2500 BCE
DESCRIPTION:The earliest cities in the world arose in a dynamic wetland environment at the intersection of the Tigris-Euphrates delta and the shore of the Persian Gulf during the 4th- and 3rd-millennia BCE. Recent work at the site of Lagash\, led by the Penn Museum\, in collaboration with the University of Pisa and Cambridge University\, focuses on reconstructing the ancient environment of southern Iraq through remote sensing\, geological coring\, and excavation. This illustrated lecture will bring this formative chapter of human history to life through an overview of this work to date\, including geological\, ethnographic\, and archaeological evidence. \nSpeakers: Holly Pittman\, Bok Family Professor in the Humanities; Professor\, History of Art; Director\, Lagash Archaeological Project and Curator\, Near East Section\, Penn Museum and Reed C Goodman\, Ph.D. Candidate in the Art and Archaeology of the Mediterranean World.

SUMMARY:A World Within Reach: Greek and Roman Art from the Loeb Collection
DESCRIPTION:A World Within Reach invites visitors to explore the experiences and imaginations of people who lived in the Mediterranean basin some 2\,000 to 2\,500 years ago. Clay and bronze depictions of ordinary people (with a few gods and heroes as well)\, small-scale animal sculptures\, and stunning jewelry are all arranged under three themes—power\, desire\, and wonder—reflecting human concerns then and now. \nThe more than 60 ancient Greek and Roman objects at the core of this exhibition are drawn from the collection of James Loeb (1867–1933)\, who graduated from Harvard College in 1888. Convinced that ancient literature could enrich contemporary lives\, he established the Loeb Classical Library. This series\, now published by Harvard University Press\, makes ancient Greek and Roman texts widely accessible by placing them side by side with their English translations. The objects from the Loeb Collection have come to Cambridge with the generous collaboration of Munich’s Staatliche Antikensammlungen und Glyptothek\, where they reside today. \nAs a collector\, Loeb was particularly attracted by small terracotta figurines. He felt that encounters with these humble objects brought ancient Greek and Roman lives within reach\, transmitted humanity and values across the ages\, and had the potential to expand modern perspectives. Today\, we ask different questions about antiquity than Loeb did a century ago. These fresh views help us query the past in new ways and reconsider our own presence in the world. \nThe final component of the exhibition reflects how members of the local community see ancient Mediterranean objects today. Teens in Cambridge Community Television’s 2022–23 School Year Production Program made short videos catalyzed by encounters with ancient Greek and Roman objects in the Harvard Art Museums collections. These films can be viewed on a monitor in the exhibition. \nJoin the dialogue and allow James Loeb’s objects to help you see worlds\, ancient and modern\, with fresh eyes. \nCurated by Amy Brauer\, Curator of the Collection; Caitlin Clerkin\, 2021–23 Frederick Randolph Grace Curatorial Fellow in Ancient Art; and Frances Gallart Marqués\, 2018–20 Frederick Randolph Grace Curatorial Fellow in Ancient Art\, all in the Division of Asian and Mediterranean Art at the Harvard Art Museums. \nSupport for this exhibition is provided by the Kelekian Fund.

SUMMARY:New Perspectives on the African Empire of Kush: Excavation at Jebel Barkal
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California Chapter\, and the Near Eastern Studies Department\, University of California\, Berkeley\, invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Geoff Emberling\, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, Univ. of Michigan: \n“New Perspectives on the African Empire of Kush: Excavation at Jebel Barkal” \nSunday\, May 7\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\nUC Berkeley \nAbout the Lecture: \nKush was the dominant political power in the Middle Nile region of northern Sudan for over 2000 years (ca. 2000 BCE – 300 CE). Our understanding of this extensive ancient empire has long been constrained by the long legacy of focus on monumental remains (palaces\, temples\, pyramids) at the expense of investigation of settlements that would broaden our understanding of Kushite economy and social identities. \nA joint project of the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums of Sudan and the University of Michigan has begun work on a newly discovered area of settlement at Jebel Barkal (ancient Napata)\, one of the major cities of Kush (and a UNESCO World Heritage site). This talk will present the results of our first seasons of work on Meroitic levels of settlement at the site\, contemporary with the Roman occupation of Egypt (1st century BCE – 1st century CE). \nAbout the Lecturer: \nDr. Geoff Emberling is an archaeologist and museum curator who has worked extensively on ancient cultures of North Africa and the Middle East. His research has focused on identities\, urbanism and empires in Mesopotamia and in Nubia. He has directed projects in northern Sudan over the past 15 years and his team is just beginning its work at Jebel Barkal\, the “pure mountain” of the ancient Egyptians and capital city of ancient Kush. \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee. Ticket dispensing machines accept debit or credit cards. Parking is available in lots around the Social Sciences Building\, and in lots along Bancroft. A map of the campus is available online at http://www.berkeley.edu/map/ \nAbout ARCE-NC: \nFor more information\, please visit https://www.youtube.com/channel/NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/\, https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings\, or https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:ARCE-PA Lecture by Dr. Jessica Tomkins\, Wofford College
DESCRIPTION:ARCE-PA Lecture\nSunday\, May 7 at 3:30pm\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Jessica Tomkins\, Assistant Professor of History\, Wofford College \nLecture Topic: Rethinking Old Kingdom Kingship \nAbstract:\nFollowing Champollion’s decipherment of hieroglyphs\, our understanding of Egyptian society advanced at lightning speed with every new text published. However\, this rapid pace of scholarship also caused certain early ideas to become engrained in the field as facts rather than interpretations or opinions. In recent decades\, scholars have begun to question and break down some of these perceived “truths” such as that of a highly centralized government and the redistributive economy model for early Egyptian society. In doing so\, it became clear that these earlier interpretations were based on Eurocentric understandings of the monarchy model of government. This lecture traces how and why the nascent Egyptian state was understood through this Eurocentric lens and the subsequent impact such modes of thinking have had in understanding the Egyptian political state\, from the period of state formation through the Old Kingdom. This paper will contribute to the dialog on replacing our Eurocentric understanding of early ancient Egyptian kingship\, statehood\, and government with one based on African models\, with an aim to place our interpretation of ancient Egypt back into its original African context. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Jessica Tomkins is Assistant Professor of History at Wofford College. She was previously the Terrace Research Associate in Egyptian Art at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston and was the inaugural W. Benson Harer Egyptology Scholar in Residence at California State University\, San Bernardino. Jessica was awarded a PhD in Egyptology from Brown in 2019 with a dissertation that examined the display and negotiation of power between the central and provincial governments as seen through Old Kingdom provincial mastabas at Dendera and El Kab. Her current research questions the model of government and modes of power in Old Kingdom Egypt. \nLectures are FREE for ARCE members. For non-ARCE members admission is as follows: $10 general admissions; $7 for Penn Museum members\, Faculty & Staff; $5 for Students with ID (12 and under FREE).

SUMMARY:Colloquia Anatolica et Aegaea Congressus internationales Smyrnenses XIII    STUDIA BITHYNICA. An e-conference on the archaeology and history of Bithynia in north-western Anatolia
DESCRIPTION:We are glad to inform you that an international symposium on the region Bithynia in north-western Turkey will take place on May 11-12\, 2023 on Zoom. Bithynia was an ancient region and Roman province located on the south-eastern edge of the Marmara Sea in the north-western part of present-day Turkey. It was bordered by Mysia\, Paphlagonia and Phrygia. From the fourth century B.C. it was an independent Hellenistic kingdom\, and around 74 B.C. it became a Roman province. During the seventh century A.D. it was incorporated into the Byzantine theme of Opsikion. It became a border region to the Seljuk Empire in the 13th century\, and was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in the early 14th century. Several major cities of Bithynia set on the fertile shores of the Propontis or in the forested inland\, such as Nicomedia (İzmit-Kocaeli)\, Nicaea (İznik)\, Chalcedon (Kadıköy)\, Cius (Gemlik)\, Prusa ad Olympum (Bursa) and Apamea Myrlea (Mudanya). Beside being a coastal region\, it is also occupied by mountains as well as forests\, and has valleys of great fertility. Since the studies of F.K. Dörner in the 1950s\, archaeologically and historically Bithynia became a special focus in the fields of ancient Anatolian studies.\nThe aim of this online video conference is to report on the state of research concerning Bithynia during the Greek\, Roman and Byzantine periods between ca. early sixth century B.C. and early 14th century A.D. We warmly welcome submissions from senior and junior scholars\, including advanced graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from a variety of disciplines related to this Anatolian region. We intend to bring together researchers who can present new syntheses of archaeological data from Bithynia and enter into dialogue with scholars working on the same material subsets. Intended to bring together scholars of Greek\, Roman and Byzantine archaeology to discuss a range of issues concerning Bithynia\, this electronic conference is an excellent opportunity to increase our knowledge about this region. Papers engageging the following themes and topics are invited: \n– Bithynia during the Archaic\, Classical\, Hellenistic\, Roman and Byzantine periods\,\n– Archaeological field projects in Bithynia\,\n– Museum studies in Kocaeli\, İznik\, Bursa\, Istanbul\, Bolu and Düzce as well as abroad\,\n– Ancient Greek\, Latin and Byzantine authors and other textual as well as cartographic sources on Bithynia and Bithynians\,\n– Bithynia during the Late Iron Age\,\n– Bithynia and the Achaemenid Persian Empire during the sixth and fifth centuries B.C.\,\n– The Hellenistic kingdom of Bithynia and its rulers\,\n– Pre-Roman tumuli in Bithynia and their archaeology\,\n– The coinage of the Kingdom of Bithynia and Roman province of Bithynia\,\n– The Roman province of Bithynia et Pontus (after the two legendary volumes of Chr. Marek in 1993\nand 2003)\,\n– Roman provincial administration in Bithynia\,\n– Historical geography and settlement patterns in pre-Hellenistic\, Hellenistic\, Roman and Byzantine Bithynia\,\n– Bithynia and Propontis\,\n– Two Bithynian cities and their interregional relationships: Nicomedia and Nicaea (after the 2020\nvolume of Asia Minor Studien no. 96 on the recent studies about Nicomedia and Nicaea)\,\n– Epigraphic and numismatic studies in Bithynia during the Hellenistic\, Roman and Byzantine periods\,\n– Geographical\, cultural and ethnic borders of Bithynia\,\n– Relationships between Bithynia and neighbouring regions\,\n– Roads\, routes and population in Bithynia\,\n– Military archaeology in Roman Bithynia\,\n– The province Bithynia under the tetrarchy reform of Emperor Diocletian in A.D. 296\,\n– Roman Bithynia and Christianity to the mid-fourth century A.D. (after the Michigan dissertation of G.J. Johnson in 1984)\,\n– Religious conflict in Late Roman Nicomedia and the rest of Bithynia\,\n– The Christian martyrs of the late third-early fourth century A.D. in Bithynia\,\n– Forms of Christian presence in Late Roman and Early Byzantine Bithynia\,\n– Episcopal sees of the Late Roman Bithynia\,\n– Jews and Jewish heritage in Roman and Early Byzantine Bithynia\,\n– Bithynia’s companion for the Christianity and early eastern Orthodox Church\,\n– Notable personalities of Hellenistic\, Roman and Byzantine Bithynia (e.g.\, Arrian\, Cassisus Dio and Helena)\,\n– The Byzantine province of Opsikion (after the TIB volume no. 13 in 2020 on Bithynia and Hellespontus by K. Belke)\n– Middle and Late Byzantine studies in Bithynia\,\n– Miscellanea. \nOn these 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.

SUMMARY:The Archaeological Technicians of Quft and the Art of Excavation as Cultural Heritage in Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe small town of Quft in southern Upper Egypt is unique in the history of archaeology for having developed a specialized craft industry of highly skilled archaeological excavators\, whose skills and networks in the field have been passed down through several generations of family “guilds” from the late nineteenth century to today. This talk traces the historical origins of the Qufti excavation system\, as well as the economic trajectory of its rise and decline as an archaeological “commodity;” describes the documentation and historical record it has left behind; and makes the case for conceptualizing the Quftis’ work as a kind of intangible cultural heritage in Egypt. \nBio: \nWendy is an historian of archaeology and modern Egypt. She is currently writing a history of archaeology and the Egyptian economy under the khedives (c.1850-1914)\, based on her doctoral research at the University of Pennsylvania. She has written several articles on the history of archaeological labor and fieldwork and is also a member of the Institute of Fine Arts\, NYU excavations at Abydos\, Egypt\, and the Arabic Diaries Project of the Harvard University-MFA\, Boston Expedition to Egypt and Sudan Archive. She holds a PhD in History from the University of Pennsylvania\, an MA in Museology from the University of Washington\, and a BA in Linguistics and Anthropology from the University of Washington.
