SUMMARY:2026 archaeological investigations with the Scouts at Fort Brewerton
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day of archaeological investigations at Fort Brewerton!\nThis year we will be spending an additional day on the ditch feature found last year on the north side of the location of barracks building we call blockhouse # 4. Previous excavations in this area over the last 5 years have yielded many interesting artifacts and features\, giving us clues about its layout and use. Our plan is to excavate and test for nitrates at different levels. Scouts will be participating to earn their archeology merit badges\, learning proper archaeological fieldwork techniques from Dr. Timothy Abel. Our first excavation on the 6th will be followed up by our second excavation on the 13th.\nCurrent Fort Brewerton Historical Society members are welcome to assist in the excavation\, members of the public are welcome to observe. Please message us if you plan on volunteering to assist in the excavation. The blockhouse museum may not be open for tours.\nAdditionally\, members of the New York State Archaeological Association are welcomed to participate with written permission from their chapter representative. Please contact us for more information.

SUMMARY:2026 Day 2 of archaeological investigations with the Scouts at Fort Brewerton
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a second day of archaeological investigations at Fort Brewerton!\nFollowing our first excavation on the 6th of June \, this day will be used to excavate a new radar anomaly found last year during our survey. Ground penetrating radar seems to indicate 2 intermittent linear features in that area. Like dashed or dotted lines\, these do not match Fort Brewerton’s plans and may be old fence lines.\nScouts will be participating to earn their archeology merit badges\, learning archaeological fieldwork techniques with supervision from Dr. Timothy Abel.\nCurrent Fort Brewerton Historical Society members are welcome to assist in the excavation\, members of the public are welcome to observe. Please message us if you plan on volunteering to assist in the excavation. The blockhouse museum may be open for tours.\nAdditionally\, members of the New York State Archaeological Association are welcomed to participate with written permission from their chapter representative.

SUMMARY:Accessing Abydos: Excavating Bricks and Archives for Answers About Early Kingship
DESCRIPTION:About the Lecture:\nThe site of Abydos is critical for understanding the rise of Egyptian kingship and the foundations of the pharaonic state. The earliest kings built their tombs far in the desert at Abydos\, ringing them with sacrificial burials. But the largest monuments built by these kings were not tombs but temples\, also at Abydos\, and also often provided with sacrificial burials. Built much closer to the floodplain and settlement site\, these structures\, known to archaeologists as funerary enclosures\, remain somewhat enigmatic. \nOne such funerary enclosure still stands today\, its mud-brick walls looming over the landscape some 4700 years after it was built. The standing monument is the last of the line; its predecessors are present only as foundations\, no longer visible except when archaeologists clear the sand from them. Why are all earlier funerary enclosures mere stubs? Published explanations have focused on deliberate destruction\, arguing that each building “died” as its king did\, leaving only one standing at a time. However\, recent work in the unpublished archives of the past 30 years of excavations held in New York suggest that neither the evidence nor its interpretation is nearly so straightforward. \nIn this talk\, we will look first at the history of archaeology at the Abydos funerary enclosures and what knowledge has been produced there. We will then dive into the excavation of an archive\, the work being done to bring unpublished material to light\, and how this is reshaping thoughts about early kingship. In doing so\, we will confront important matters not only about the ancient past\, but about how archaeologists work\, and how exciting it can be to confront evidence that makes us change our minds. \nAbout the Speaker:\n \nDr. Laurel Bestock is the Joukowsky Family Associate Professor of Egyptology and Archaeology at Brown University\, as well as a visiting professor and director of excavations at Abydos at the Institute of Fine Arts\, New York University. A field archaeologist with longstanding interests in kingship and monumentality\, she has directed projects at Abydos and at the Middle Kingdom fortress of Uronarti in the Sudan. She is part of a team that is developing Kiosk\, archaeological recording software that is used by excavations around the world. Though a native Californian\, Laurel left to pursue degrees in the cold way back in 1995 and has missed the West Coast ever since. In her spare time she spins yarn\, and is preparing to bring her obsessions together in the classroom next semester by teaching a course on the Archaeology of Textiles. \n\nRedwood City Woman’s Club location and parking:\nThis month\, we’re meeting on the Peninsula\, in the Redwood City Woman’s Club\, two blocks off Broadway in central Redwood City. The 1911 bungalow\, listed on the National Register of Historic Places\, dates from the year women won the vote in California and worked in groups like this one to secure their roles in public life. The club is fully ramped and wheelchair-friendly. For users of public transit\, it’s walking distance from Caltrain. Best freeway access is from Highway 101’s Whipple Avenue exit. Parking is along the street\, though given advance notice\, we can set up a couple of disabled spots on the north side of the building. \nUseful links:\nRedwood City Woman’s Club \nGoogle map of vicinity \nAbout Northern California ARCE:\nFor more information\, please visit https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://www.facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://arce-nc.org\, https://bsky.app/profile/khentiamentiu.bsky.social\, and https://khentiamentiu.org.
