SUMMARY:Accept No Imitation? Amphora Packaging and Roman Wine Consumption on the Bay of Naples
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Jennifer L. Muslin (Loyola University Chicago\, Classical Studies) \nMost ancient Romans enjoyed wine and believed that everyone\, from emperors to enslaved peoples\, should drink it daily. To meet such high demand\, viticulture\, winemaking\, packaging\, and trading happened all over the Mediterranean\, with the highest quality vintages coming from Central and Southern Italy and Sicily. Roman wines were stored and traveled in large\, ceramic containers called amphorae that were durable\, heavy\, and built to withstand multiple fillings. Winemaking regions in the Empire often manufactured their own versions of these vessels\, perhaps to insure brand identification\, and refurbished and reused amphorae from other regions to store and export their products. When different wines were packaged using the same recycled amphorae\, how could a buyer trust that she was getting a good quality vintage and not a hangover in disguise? New research at the first century C.E. packaging facility of Oplontis B near Pompeii is changing what we know about the social history of Roman wine\, amphora use and reuse\, and consumer choices on the Bay of Naples and the ancient Mediterranean world. \n**The event is free and open to those who are 21 and over** Please register at eventbrite \nDr. Jennifer L. Muslin (PhD\, University of Texas at Austin) is the Director of Pottery Studies and Finds at the Roman industrial site of Oplontis B for the Oplontis Project\, a UT Austin-sponsored archaeological excavation based in Torre Annunziata (NA)\, Italy. She has published articles and book chapters on Roman pottery\, Roman houses\, and Pompeian wall painting and is currently writing two books on more 1\,500 amphorae that the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Pompei excavations of Oplontis B recovered from 1973-1991. She teaches classical studies at Loyola University Chicago.

SUMMARY:From Fish Skin Bags to Coconut Fiber Armor: Revitalizing Anthropological Collections in an Era of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Amy Margaris\, Oberlin College \nSpecimen collecting was a cornerstone of 19th century science and anthropology. 150 years later anthropological collections can still be found at many colleges\, lingering in closets or forgotten on storeroom shelves. Using cultural heritage items at Oberlin College as my starting point\, I’ll explore the question: What use are they today\, and for whom?

SUMMARY:Recent Work at Memphis and the Fayum: An Overview of Methodologies and Results
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, and the UC Berkeley Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures invite you to attend a Zoom lecture by Raghda (Didi) El-Behaedi\, University of Chicago: \n“Recent Work at Memphis and the Fayum: An Overview of Methodologies and Results” \nSunday\, January 21\, 2024\, 3 PM Pacific Time \nZoom Lecture. This meeting will not be recorded. A registration link will be automatically sent to ARCE-NC members. Non-members may request a registration link by sending email with your name and email address to arcencZoom@gmail.com. Non-members\, please send any registration requests no later than Friday\, January 19. Registrations are limited to 100\, so the sooner you register\, the better. \nAbout the Lecture: \nThis lecture will present an overview of two cases studies\, Memphis and the Fayum\, to illustrate different methodologies of site exploration in Egypt. Memphis\, the first capital of unified Egypt and one of the ancient world’s most recognizable cities\, continues to be an enigma in the present day. Located at the confluence of Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt\, Memphis’ strategic placement evoked the symbolic and geographic union of a once fragmented country. Despite its profound historical significance over more than 3\,000 years\, very little is known about the city itself. This is especially true for the area of Kom el-Fakhry\, which houses the oldest in-situ remains found at Memphis so far. A preview of the results from the 2023 excavation season conducted at Kom el-Fakhry will be presented. \nThe Fayum\, a natural depression located 100 km southwest of Cairo\, is bounded by the Sahara Desert except for in the east\, where a branch of the Nile River once fed its massive freshwater lake\, Lake Moeris. For thousands of years\, anthropic activity in the form of settlements\, religious centers\, harbors\, and quarry sites continued in the Fayum\, along the very shores of Lake Moeris. However\, starting in the Holocene epoch\, changing environmental and climatic conditions caused fluctuations of floodwaters from the Nile\, which in turn caused drastic instabilities in the lake’s water level. The present work attempts to understand how the ancient Egyptians adapted to the shrinking lake from the Neolithic to Ptolemaic period\, using cutting-edge satellite remote sensing\, GIS\, and geophysical techniques. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDidi El-Behaedi is an Egyptian Archaeology PhD candidate at the University of Chicago and a National Geographic Explorer. Her research interests include understanding ancient Egyptian settlement patterns and ancient landscapes through the lens of remote sensing\, GIS\, and 3D modeling. Didi is the co-director of the Memphis-Kom el-Fakhry Archaeological Project (MKAP) and has conducted archaeological fieldwork at several other sites in Egypt\, including Tell Edfu\, Deir el-Bahri\, Asasif\, and Hermopolis. She has also previously served as a research consultant at NASA Langley Research Center and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. \nAbout ARCE-NC: \nFor more information\, please visit https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/\, http://www.arce-nc.org\, https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings\, and https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:Everything but a Bath?: The Small Bath at Antiochia ad Cragum with Dr. Leticia R. Rodriguez
DESCRIPTION:Everything but a Bath?: The Small Bath at Antiochia ad Cragum \nLeticia R. Rodriguez\, PhD\nVisiting Scholar\nUniversity of California\, Berkeley\nCenter for Middle Eastern Studies \nExcavations at the Small Bath at Antiochia ad Cragum began in 2018. With now five seasons completed\, our efforts have not only provided insight into the general structure and use of this particular bath type (a Hall Bath); we have also uncovered a wealth of information about the complex after it was retired as a bath. More precisely\, each season has presented us with a series of questions with regard to the ways in which the various rooms of the bath were adapted to meet industrial needs\, if and how the installations and finds from distinct rooms relate to each other\, and their respective chronologies. This lecture will present findings to date\, current and evolving hypotheses about the function(s) of the complex in its post-bath phases\, and also consider the discovery of several sets of human remains in non-burial contexts.
