In Puritan New England\, religious leaders condemned tobacco as sinful while early practitioners used it as medicine. Clay tobacco pipes commonly found at 17th-century archaeological sites in Massachusetts reveal widespread use despite strict social and religious restrictions. Drawing from her new book\, The Tobacco Takers: Puritanism\, Smoking\, Health\, and the Archaeology of Bodily Care (Bloomsbury Publishing\, 2026)\, Diana DiPaolo Loren\, deputy director for curatorial affairs and senior curator at Harvard’s Peabody Museum\, will share archaeological\, archival\, and visual evidence that recasts tobacco and tobacco pipes as tools of bodily care for both physical and metaphysical ailments. The program will include a conversation with archaeologist Stephen W. Silliman. \nCopies of The Tobacco Takers will be available for purchase after the program. Advance registration is recommended. \nFree event parking is available with registration at the 52 Oxford Street Garage\, starting at 5:00 pm. Register by October 12th\, 2026 to receive parking registration instructions. \nPresented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.

Originally\, it served as the burial place of a priest named Panehsy and his wife\, Tarenu\, a chantress. Long after their lifetimes\, the tomb remained an important resting place and was reused for more than a thousand years by members of the Theban elite. By the late-nineteenth or early-twentieth twentieth century\, the tomb had been looted\, and it suffered further plundering in the 1970s. Since 2008\, however\, a team from the University of Memphis has been working to document and conserve both the tomb and its many secondary burials. In this program\, Egyptologist Suzanne Onstine will present the latest research on the tomb’s beautifully painted plaster scenes\, exploring what they reveal about life in ancient Egypt as well as funerary culture during the first millennium BCE. \nFree admission. Free event parking is available with registration. Register by October 20 to receive parking registration instructions. Presented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science and Culture.
