SUMMARY:"Exploring the life of the Latin city of Gabii through new technologies: the Gabii Project area AB digital publication." Prof. Anna Gallone.
DESCRIPTION:Since 2007\, the Gabii Project has launched archaeological initiative aiming at understanding the long trajectory of a Latin center from its formation phase to the end of its ancient life. Five city blocks have been extensively excavated exposing a continuous sequence of occupation spanning from the Early Iron Age to Late Antiquity. \nThis talk will focus on the evidence uncovered in the so-called A-B areas\, documenting the birth of enucleated settlements in pre-urban centers\, the establishment of a quasi-orthogonal urban grid in the late 5th century BCE\, the construction of private houses in the mid-Republican times\, and the repurposing of the block with a small burial ground and the installation of a quarry of the local bedrock during the Empire. The dynamics that led to this last transformation\, the co-existence of industrial activities and tombs traditionally relegated to outside the perimeter of cities\, give us the opportunity to explore perceptions of “urban” and “not urban” spaces. \nThe talk will explore these dynamics through the digital publication of the final report on area AB city block (A Cemetery and Quarry from Imperial Gabii ) presenting a new holistic approach to archaeological publication. This open access report\, featuring a layered narrative\, combines texts\, traditional illustrations\, and databases with an interactive digital 3D model. \nAnna Gallone is a Roman archaeologist and lecturer at John Cabot University whose research focuses on urban development in Tyrrhenian Italy and the Romanization of central and southern Italy. She has served as the field director of the Gabii Project since 2007\, and was awarded the AIA prize for digital archaeology in 2024 for her editorial work on A Cemetery and Quarry from Imperial Gabii. \nThis lecture has been selected as the 2025–2026 Ernest R. Graham Lecture in Ancient Architecture by the Archaeological Institute of America. \nThe talk will last 40 minutes\, followed by a Q&A session. \nThe event is open to all AIA members\, the general public\, and the JCU community\, but registration is required to access the New Campus in John Cabot University. \nThe event is organized by Prof. Massimo Betello (Secretary of Rome-SPQR AIA; History and Humanities Dept\, JCU) in collaboration with John Cabot University and the Archaeological Institute of America (https://www.archaeological.org/)

SUMMARY:Archaeology-Hour Screening: The People's Arena
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussion of the Archaeology Hour talk by Alison Futrell (University of Arizona). \nIn ancient-Roman ‘arenas’ — structures and spaces like the Colosseum in Rome — mass events were staged that exaggerated\, aestheticized\, and then normalized extreme and shocking forms of violence\, deploying a twisted\, voyeuristic ‘pleasure’ intended to be derived from unreal genres of amplified bloodshed and death reserved *only* for those presented as variously criminal\, exotic/strange\, non-human and/or lesser-human… and fully disposable. This presentation will ask: how did the arena impact the lives of ordinary individuals… in the sands\, the seats\, and the substructures\, beyond the emperor’s box?

SUMMARY:More Than a Cosmetic Fix:  How Experimental Archaeology Can Address the Issue of Burial Goods in the Museum Setting.  Talk and Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, December 13\n2:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2\nIn-person; RSVP required for workshop: https://forms.gle/FTwpThdMhwV7gPhS6\nTalk and Hands-on Workshop\nHoliday Party to follow! \nSpeakers: Isabella Pilla and Dr. Jane Hill \nTitle: More Than a Cosmetic Fix: How Experimental Archaeology Can Address the Issue of Burial Goods in the Museum Setting. Talk and Workshop \nAbstract:\nThe Egyptian mummy as a cultural artifact has for more than a century been a focal point of interest within the Egyptological community and the museum-going public. In more recent years\, however\, the public has begun to raise concerns over the display of human bodies as museum objects. Is there another way to share with the public the richness of Egyptian funerary belief and tradition without invading the bodies of the individuals who were at the center of these practices? In this talk and workshop the authors will argue that by using the imaging\, scanning\, and 3-D printing technologies available to us today\, it is possible to both scientifically study Egyptian mummification practices and share those findings with the public while still respecting the humans who provide us that information. \nLecture attendees will be invited to create their own Predynastic Egyptian style cosmetic palette. All the necessary tools and materials will be provided\, but we ask that you RSVP (https://forms.gle/FTwpThdMhwV7gPhS6) for this event to be sure we have enough materials! \nSpeaker Bios:\nDr. Jane Hill\nDr. Jane Hill holds a doctorate in Egyptian Archaeology from the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. She also holds masters degrees in anthropology and art history/Egyptology from the University of Memphis. She has excavated and done epigraphic work on archaeological projects at the sites of Giza\, Abydos\, el-Amra\, Saqqara\, and Karnak Temple in Luxor Egypt. At el-Amra she discovered evidence of a Predynastic Egyptian town and cult center. In the U.S.\, Dr. Hill has excavated Native American sites of the Mississippian Period in the southeast region. Currently Dr. Hill teaches anthropology\, archaeology and Egyptian Archaeology at Rowan University where she serves as curator of the Museum of Anthropology at Rowan University (MARU). Her research interests include co-development of major elite cemeteries and urbanism in Upper Egypt’s formative period\, and the development of Egyptian administrative and writing systems. \nIsabella Pilla\nIsabella is an emerging museum professional and recent graduate from Rowan University\, where she earned a dual degree in Anthropology and Psychology. During her time as a research assistant at Rowan’s Museum of Anthropology\, she curated a project to explore the ancient Egyptian material culture and public engagement through archaeology. Her research focuses on the ethical concerns of ancient mummified displays and the application of experimental archaeological to research ancient artifacts in a non-invasive manner. Isabella currently works at Edelman Fossil Park and Museum where she continues to support educational programming and visitor engagement. \n******************\nRefreshments are served beginning at 2pm. The ARCE-PA Holiday Party will follow the workshop. You do not have to attend the workshop or party to attend the lecture. \nLectures are FREE to ARCE-PA chapter members\, $7 for University of Pennsylvania Museum Members and UPenn Staff and Faculty\, $5 for Students with ID\, and $10 for the general public. \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. For more information or to learn about the perks of membership\, please send an e-mail to info@arce-pa.org\, or visit our website at www.arce-pa.org.
