SUMMARY:The Nubian Pharaohs of Egypt\, a Lecture by Aidan Dodson
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 lecture by Dr. Aidan Dodson\, University of Bristol: \n“The Nubian Pharaohs of Egypt”\nSunday April 28\, 2024\, 3 PM Pacific Time\nRoom 20\, Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley\nThis in-person lecture will be recorded for later publication on YouTube. \nAbout the Lecture: \nFor a few decades during the 8th to 7th centuries BC\, there was a remarkable reversal of the age-old imperial domination of Nubia by Egypt. In the wake of the fragmentation of the Egyptian state during the 8th century\, the Kushite state that had evolved in Nubia since Egyptian withdrawal at the beginning of the 11th century expanded northwards\, ultimately absorbing the south of Egypt\, including Thebes itself. Having established themselves as overlords of the various regional rulers in Egypt\, the Nubian pharaohs led a national revival in Egypt\, until an Assyrian onslaught drove them back into Nubia\, where their composite of Egyptian and Nubian culture would survive into the 4th century AD. \nAbout the Speaker: \nAidan Mark Dodson is an English Egyptologist and historian. He has been honorary professor of Egyptology at the University of Bristol since August 1\, 2018. Born in London on September 11\, 1962\, he studied at Langley Grammar School (1975–81)\, before moving to Collingwood College\, Durham (1981-2). He completed a BA at the University of Liverpool (1985)\, and an MPhil (1986\, museum practice and archaeology) and PhD (1995\, Egyptology) at Christ’s College\, Cambridge. He began teaching at the University of Bristol in October 1996\, also holding the post of Simpson Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo from January to July 2013. Dodson was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 2003. His primary research interests concern Ancient Egypt\, including dynastic history and chronology\, tomb architecture\, sarcophagus and coffin design\, canopic equipment\, and the history of Egyptology; he is also a historian of late 19th and early 20th century navies\, and has written on the royal tombs of Great Britain. He is the author of some 27 books and 400 articles and reviews. His latest book\, The Nubian Pharaohs of Egypt: Their Lives and Afterlives\, was published by the American University in Cairo Press at the end of 2023. \n—————- \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:Body Ornaments and Communities of Practice in the Egyptian Predynastic
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 lecture by Maryan Ragheb\, UCLA: \nBody Ornaments and Communities of Practice in the Egyptian Predynastic\nSunday\, February 11\, 2024\, 3 PM Pacific Time\nRoom 20\, Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley\nThis lecture will not be recorded. \nAbout the Lecture: \nOur bodies and body images are manufactured through one’s treatment of their body surface: Through clothing\, jewelry\, hairstyles\, makeup\, or tattooing\, we create and recreate certain images that can be readable to others. These body accessories and modifications are not only to reflect identities\, but also to be utilized as tools by the wearers to enact their social roles\, which are prescribed and promoted by society. Body ornamentation is thus important for affirming social cohesion and shared ideologies of identities both in life and death. In Predynastic Egypt\, body ornamentation of the deceased was practiced to varying degrees. This talk discusses the shared community practices in the making and use of Predynastic body ornaments to adorn the deceased’s body. Through a microscopic study of beaded ornaments\, their manufacturing processes\, and wear marks\, I can reconstruct the technical and social processes that were invested in their making\, and by extension\, the making of the deceased’s image at the time of the funeral. \nAbout the Speaker: \nMaryan Ragheb is a PhD candidate in Archaeology at UCLA\, with a special focus on ancient Egyptian archaeology. Her dissertation research is concerned with identity expression pre and post state formation in ancient Egypt\, through the study of body ornamentation. Her research interests include identity expressions of different minority groups and the cultural entanglement between different ethnicities within Egypt. In addition to archaeological work in Egypt and Ethiopia\, she is interested in community outreach and preservation of cultural heritage initiatives. As such\, she is currently involved in the Waystation initiative and the voluntary return of cultural objects to China\, while building a skillset in cultural heritage laws in the USA\, and in provenance research. \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:Contexts and Circumstances in Designing the Divine in Ancient Egypt
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 Dr. Jennifer Miyuki Babcock\, Pratt Institute: \n“Contexts and Circumstances in Designing the Divine in Ancient Egypt” \nSunday\, December 10\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Standard Time\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\, UC Berkeley \nThis lecture will be recorded. \nAbout the Lecture: \nHow do we decide what a god looks like? Some ancient Egyptian texts describe the gods generally\, and others are more precise. Yet a divinity’s true\, underlying form is unknown. Nonetheless\, depictions of deities on monumental and small-scale artworks are seen throughout ancient Egyptian history. \nIn this talk\, we will look at some basic\, common forms that ancient Egyptian gods adopt\, and uncover the reasons behind these design choices. We will not only consider how the images illustrate a god’s specific divine power\, but also how their representation may be determined by the context and placement of the god’s image. \nAbout the Lecturer: \nDr. Jennifer Miyuki Babcock is Assistant Professor and Coordinator for the History of Art and Design at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. She is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture\, Education\, and Human Development\, and at the Fashion Institute of Technology\, SUNY. Before teaching\, Dr. Babcock was a Postdoctoral Curatorial Associate at The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at NYU\, and has held research and fellowship positions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, The Museum of Fine Arts Boston\, and the Brooklyn Museum. She earned her Ph.D. at the Institute of Fine Arts\, NYU. \nAmong Dr. Babock’s extensive list of publications is the book Animal Fables in Ancient Egypt: Tree Climbing Hippos and Ennobled Mice (Brill 2022)\, which examines how drawings of anthropomorphized animals are linked to oral folklore and the religious environment of New Kingdom Thebes.  Her interests include the cross-cultural and temporal transmission of artistic iconography in the ancient world\, and studying cultural parallels between ancient and modern and contemporary lives. \n————— \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:Preparing for Eternity: Funerary Models & Wall Scenes from the Old and Middle Kingdoms
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 Dr. Georgia Barker\, Macquarie University/CSU San Bernardino: \nPreparing for Eternity: Funerary Models & Wall Scenes from the Old and Middle Kingdoms \nSunday\, September 10\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\nUC Berkeley \nAbout the Lecture: \nDuring the late Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom\, there were two principal types of artistic representation in the ancient Egyptian elite tomb: funerary models and wall scenes. The two media exhibit several similarities in design\, with both depicting people and animals engaged in activities of everyday life. This has caused scholars to regularly label funerary models duplicates or substitutes of wall scenes\, implying that they served the same purpose in the tomb. However\, there are several notable differences yet to be acknowledged. This lecture presents the results of a detailed comparative analysis of the two artistic media\, focusing on representations from the sites of Meir\, Deir el-Bersha and Beni Hassan in Middle Egypt. It will highlight the distinguishing characteristics of each medium and propose that funerary models should be understood as a distinct type of representation that was specifically conceived to provision the deceased for eternity. \nAbout the Lecturer: \nDr. Georgia Barker is the W. Benson Harer Egyptology Scholar in Residence at California State University\, San Bernardino\, for Fall 2023. Before joining CSUSB\, she completed a Doctor of Philosophy and a postdoctoral research fellowship at Macquarie University in Sydney\, Australia. Her research investigates the purpose and historical significance of funerary art from the Old and Middle Kingdom periods. She has worked extensively with museum collections\, including the Macquarie University History Museum and Sydney Living Museums in Australia as well as being a member of the British Museum’s Circulating Artefacts Project and an intern at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She is also a member of the Australian Centre for Egyptology’s expeditions at Meir and Beni Hassan. \n————– \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

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.

SUMMARY:The Hidden Treasures of Elephantine Island
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 Prof. Dr. Verena Lepper\, National Museums\, Berlin: \n“The Hidden Treasures of Elephantine Island” \nSunday\, April 16\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time \nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\nUC Berkeley \nAbout the Lecture: \nElephantine was a militarily and strategically very important island on the river Nile at the southern border of Egypt. No other settlement in Egypt is so well attested through texts over such a long period of time\, 4000 years. Its inhabitants form a multi-ethnic\, multicultural and multi-religious community that left us vast amounts of written sources detailing their everyday lives from the Old Kingdom to beyond the Arab Conquest. Today\, several thousand papyri and other manuscripts from Elephantine are scattered in more than 60 institutions in 24 different countries across Europe and beyond. Their texts are written in ten different languages and scripts\, including Hieroglyphs\, Hieratic\, Demotic\, Aramaic\, Greek\, Coptic and Arabic. 80% of these manuscripts were unpublished or unstudied before. \nThus\, access was gained to these texts\, making them publicly available in an open access online research database. Links could be identified between papyrus fragments from different collections\, and an international ‘papyrus puzzle’ undertaken\, incorporating cutting-edge methods from digital humanities\, physics and mathematics (e.g. for the virtual unfolding of papyri). For the first time in the history of papyrology\, papyrus packages can now be read virtually\, without physically opening them. Using this database with medical\, religious\, legal\, administrative\, even literary texts\, the everyday life of the local and global (i.e. ‘glocal’) community of Elephantine can be studied. Elephantine can thus be used as a case study and a model for the past\, present and future. \nAbout the Lecturer: \nProf. Dr. Verena Lepper is the Curator of the Egyptian and Oriental Papyrus Collection of the Egyptian Museum\, National Museums Berlin (Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation) and Honorary Professor at the Humboldt University Berlin. She is in charge of a collection with around 30\,000 objects in ten different languages and scripts and has managed several exhibition and research projects in Germany and abroad (Abu Dhabi\, Berlin\, Bonn\, Doha\, Harvard) with a team of employees.\nShe conducts research on topics such as Egyptian and Oriental papyri\, literary and cultural history\, and the history of science and art. To this end\, she has published numerous books and exhibition catalogues with international publishers.\nDr. Lepper studied Egyptology\, Semitic Philology\, Christian Orient Studies and Hebrew Bible at Bonn\, Cologne\, Tuebingen\, Oxford and Harvard University. She has received several awards for her scientific and curatorial work\, including the highly renowned ERC-Grant from the European Research Council for the project: “Elephantine”.\nTo promote Arab-German academic exchange\, she founded the Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA) in 2013. She is involved in numerous committees in the field of scientific and cultural policy and diplomacy. Visiting professorships and fellowships have also taken her to Harvard and Princeton University.\n——-\nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

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. Branko van Oppen\, Tampa Museum of Art: \nRoman Egyptian Mummy Portraits and the Artistic Circle of the St. Louis Painter \nSunday\, March 12\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\nUC Berkeley \nDaylight Savings Time Begins March 12. \nAbout the Lecture: \nIn his publications Mummy Portraits in the J. Paul Getty Museum (1982)\, David L. Thompson attributed three Roman Egyptian funerary portraits to the same artist\, whom he named the St. Louis Painter on the basis of a portrait of an elderly woman in the St. Louis Art Museum (SLAM inv. no. 128:1951; Thompson 1982\, pp. 20–22\, figs. 35–37). Without further information\, Thompson acknowledged that “a number of other portraits are related to those by the St. Louis Painter and some to each other by these differences\,” and dated the activity of the artist’s workshop to around 300 CE. Before and since\, several other scholars have recognized the stylistic similarities between about a dozen funerary portraits from ancient Philadelphia (confusingly still called “Rubayat”) with estimated dates ranging between 165-350 CE. \nThis paper will re-examine the attribution of the portrait panels to the St. Louis Painter (also known as the Würzburg Painter)\, and suggest that some two dozen examples can be assigned to this anonymous painter\, workshop or circle. Stylistic elements by which these paintings can be grouped together include a distinctively graphic hatching style. The portraits generally lack a sense of depth and perspective\, though some foreshortening is often indicated on the left side of the face. The basic outline is usually drawn with a broader brush\, while the individual details are applied with a thinner brush. The outline tends to follow basic physiognomic proportions that are not only common with other Roman Egyptian portraits\, but with Roman portraits from contexts such as the wall paintings of Pompeii and Herculaneum. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Branko F. van Oppen de Ruiter is the Richard E. Perry Curator of Greek & Roman Art at the Tampa Museum of Art. He received his PhD in ancient history from The City University of New York (’07)\, where he specialized in queenship during the period from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra. Before coming to Tampa\, van Oppen worked for five years at the Allard Pierson Museum\, Amsterdam. His academic interests further include clay seal impressions\, animals in ancient material culture\, Romano-Egyptian funerary portraits\, as well as ancient religion and art history in general. \n———————- \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:Funerary Papyri as Social Reflections of the Living and the Dead
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. Marissa A. Stevens\, UCLA: \nFunerary Papyri as Social Reflections of the Living and the Dead \nSunday\, September 11\, 2022\, 3 PM Pacific Time\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\nUC Berkeley \nPlease note that no Zoom meeting is scheduled for this lecture. \nGlenn Meyer\nARCE-NC Publicity Director \nAbout the Lecture: \nTwenty-first Dynasty funerary papyri – consisting of texts and images from the Book of the Dead\, the many Underworld Books\, and other cosmographic scenes – have always fascinated Egyptologists for what they reveal about Egyptian afterlife beliefs and their understanding and conceptualization of the underworld. But these documents are also social objects. The creation\, ownership\, and use of these papyri can shed much light about the deceased who reap the religious benefit of the texts and on the family of the deceased\, who also benefit from these objects in social and ideological ways. Studying these papyri as objects of social life\, we can learn about temple life\, titles and rank\, family structure\, inheritance\, and social status of the deceased and the families they left behind. Funerary papyri were therefore used as a form of social competition\, and reveal much about the mindset of the elite priests of 21st Dynasty Thebes. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Marissa Stevens is the Assistant Director of the Pourdavoud Center for the Study of the Iranian World. Trained as an Egyptologist who studies the materiality\, social history\, and texts of the Third Intermediate Period and Late Period\, she completed her Ph.D. at the University of California\, Los Angeles\, in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures. Combining art historical and linguistic approaches\, her research interests focus on how objects can solidify\, maintain\, and perpetuate social identity\, especially in times of crisis when more traditional means of self-identification are absent. \nAbout ARCE-NC: \nFor more information\, please visit https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/\, https://arce-nc.org/\, https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings\, or https://khentiamentiu.org.
