SUMMARY:An Archaeological Investigation and Interpretation of a Cornerstone Deposit from Louisville's Confederate Monument
DESCRIPTION:Amid recent efforts to remove Confederate Monuments throughout cities in the South\, the City of Louisville removed its monument situated on a public street in the middle of the University of Louisville’s main campus. During disassembly of the monument\, a cornerstone box containing commemorative objects was found. This presentation discusses these objects and their relationship to the “Lost Cause” movement espoused by ex-Confederates. It also examines the battle for the memorial landscape and the monument itself as a symbol of ex-Confederate power that perpetuated the “Lost Cause” narrative into the present day.

SUMMARY:The Qeheq Papyrus: A Bridge Between Egyptology and Berberology
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California Chapter\, and the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures\, University of California\, Berkeley\, invite you to attend a lecture by Jason Silvestri\, UC Berkeley: \n“The Qeheq Papyrus: A Bridge Between Egyptology and Berberology” \nSunday\, November 5\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Standard Time\nNote: Daylight Savings Time ends at 2 AM\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\nUC Berkeley \nAbout the Lecture: \nAmong the ancient documents in the collection of the Museo Egizio in Turin\, there is a papyrus\, thought to be from Deir el-Medina\, which records a set of magical spells for the protection against snakes written in an Egyptian script but in the hitherto unidentified language of the Qeheq people. The Qeheq are an infrequently attested North African ethnic group of the late 2nd millennium BCE\, often associated with other\, more well-known ancient “Libyan” groups like the Libu and the Meshwesh. The language recorded on the papyrus exhibits strong similarities to proto-Berber as reconstructed by linguists using data from the modern Amazigh (or Berber) languages\, indigenous to North Africa and still spoken today by an estimated 30-to-40 million people from the Atlantic in the west to the Siwa Oasis in Egypt in the east\, from the Mediterranean in the north to the Niger River in the south. As the papyrus records what is likely to be the earliest textually-attested Amazigh language\, and does so using the Egyptian hieratic script\, it stands as a unique document\, serving as a bridge between two related but often separated academic fields–Egyptology and Berberology/Amazigh Studies. When held in light of other Egyptian textual and onomastic material attesting so-called “Libyan” groups from the 1st millennium BCE\, the language of the Qeheq can contribute toward a clearer understanding of the geographic and temporal extent of ancient Amazigh languages and their speakers’ interactions with neighboring cultural groups\, like the Egyptians. \nAbout the Lecturer: \nJason Silvestri is a PhD candidate in the field of Egyptian Archaeology in the department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures at UC Berkeley. His dissertation research focuses on the social and administrative history of the Libyan Period in Egypt (Dynasties 21 through 24) and examines numerous social phenomena that are particularly emblematic of that period\, such as the formation and use of diaspora identities and ethnic code-switching\, political identity formation\, factional conflict\, regional identity politicization\, personal piety\, and archaism. Through his interest in Ancient Libyan cultural and linguistic identities\, Jason began studying the modern Amazigh (or Berber) languages\, the indigenous languages of North Africa\, west of the Nile. He founded and coordinated an online language education program through the Center for Language and Culture in Marrakesh\, Morocco\, which operated for several semesters from 2020 through 2022 dedicated to the teaching of Tashelhiyt\, an Amazigh language spoken in Southern Morocco. In addition to his philological work on Egyptian and Amazigh material\, Jason also is a trained archaeologist and has worked on several projects across the Mediterranean\, including in Egypt\, Greece\, and Italy; he is currently starting a project that aims to address a large and mostly unpublished corpus of Third Intermediate Period and Saite Period Egyptian objects excavated from Iron Age indigenous contexts in Southern Italy. \n————————— \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:The Bioarchaeology of the Distinctive Burials of the Phaleron Cemetery\, Archaic Greece
DESCRIPTION:Aviva Cormier\, “The Bioarchaeology of the Distinctive Burials of the Phaleron Cemetery\, Archaic Greece” \nTHIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. If you’re interested in archaeology\, please join us! \nAbout the lecture:\nThe world’s attention has been captured by the 7th century BCE finds that emerged from the coastal sands of Faliro\, the ancient Port of Athens. Most often discussed are the seventy-nine young men who had been violently executed and interred in three trenches. They lived and died during the political upheavals that culminated in the foundational democracy of Classical Athens. These\, however\, are but a fraction (<10%) of those excavated between 2012 and 2017 at the site of Phaleron. Most of the 1000+ individuals buried nearby fall within an expected range of burial forms\, including pits\, cists\, and jars. In this talk\, I focus on those that fall outside of that range\, individuals with mortuary contexts that suggest distinctive experiences in life and death. These distinctive burials include those who were interred collectively in mass graves or buried prone or tightly flexed in single graves\, with some bound at the wrists and/or ankles. I present osteobiographies of these individuals- contextualized life histories from their skeletal remains- and emphasize how their potentially violent life and death experiences may have impacted their identity construction\, physical wellbeing\, and resulting mortuary treatment. \nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Aviva Cormier\, Visiting Assistant Professor in the Anthropology Department at Davidson College\, is a bioarchaeologist who studies human culture\, behavior\, and society through human skeletal remains and their archaeological or historical contexts. She focuses on potentially marginalized individuals\, those whose bodies or mortuary contexts fall outside of what is expected. She studies individuals with physical differences—those whose bodies do not conform to notions of a normal body or to the normal of the society being studied. She pays particular attention to the lived experiences of these individuals\, how they might have navigated their physical and social environments\, and how they might have self-identified or been identified by their community. Currently\, she is a bioarchaeologist with the Phaleron Bioarchaeology Project.\nOur lectures are sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America\, with funding from the Davidson College Public Lectures Committee\, the Dean Rusk Program\, and the departments of Africana Studies\, Anthropology\, Art\, Classics\, Educational Studies\, History\, and Latin American Studies. \nPlease support us by joining the Archaeological Institute of America for $50 (students $25)\, which includes a subscription to Archaeology magazine.
