SUMMARY:Great Lecture: Marshland of Cities: Lagash and its Neighbors ca. 2500 BCE
DESCRIPTION:The earliest cities in the world arose in a dynamic wetland environment at the intersection of the Tigris-Euphrates delta and the shore of the Persian Gulf during the 4th- and 3rd-millennia BCE. Recent work at the site of Lagash\, led by the Penn Museum\, in collaboration with the University of Pisa and Cambridge University\, focuses on reconstructing the ancient environment of southern Iraq through remote sensing\, geological coring\, and excavation. This illustrated lecture will bring this formative chapter of human history to life through an overview of this work to date\, including geological\, ethnographic\, and archaeological evidence. \nSpeakers: Holly Pittman\, Bok Family Professor in the Humanities; Professor\, History of Art; Director\, Lagash Archaeological Project and Curator\, Near East Section\, Penn Museum and Reed C Goodman\, Ph.D. Candidate in the Art and Archaeology of the Mediterranean World.

SUMMARY:ARCE-PA Lecture by Dr. Ellen Morris\, Barnard College
DESCRIPTION:ARCE-PA Lecture\nSaturday April 15 at 3:30pm\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Ellen Morris\, Associate Professor of Ancient Studies\, Barnard College\, Columbia University \nLecture Topic: Famine and Festival in Ancient Egypt \nAbstract:\nIn pharaonic and Greco-Roman Egypt\, two occurrences had the power to radically transform the status quo: revolts and episodes of mass mortality. When the two co-occurred\, they destabilized a rigid social hierarchy. Such moments – at which underlings threatened to gain the upper hand or at least exhibited a marked reluctance to return to their former subservience – caused an immense degree of anxiety among Egypt’s elites. Extremely severe famines and the plagues that often engendered this destabilization occurred infrequently. The magnitude of the upheavals and social transformations that happened in their wake\, however\, ensured that their memory was passed down (and needed to be passed down) through generations as a caution. For people who knew only strong kings and times of plenty\, it was necessary to “remember” hunger\, suffering\, and terror in order that warning signs be taken seriously. Although written testimony and prophesy helped keep such memories alive\, echoes of social upheavals incorporated into festivities surrounding the Egyptian New Year may have been far more effective agents of intergenerational transmission. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Ellen Morris\, an Associate Professor of Ancient Studies at Barnard College\, Columbia University\, writes on imperialism\, political fragmentation\, state formation\, sexuality and sacred performance\, retainer sacrifice\, landscape theory\, and divine kingship in Egypt’s social history. Since receiving her Ph.D. in Egyptology at the (esteemed) University of Pennsylvania\, she has published a great many articles (most of which are freely available on academia.edu) and two books: The Architecture of Imperialism: Military Bases and the Evolution of Foreign Policy in Egypt’s New Kingdom (Brill\, 2005)\, Ancient Egyptian Imperialism (Wiley-Blackwell\, 2018). A Cambridge Element titled Famine and Feast in Ancient Egypt is forthcoming in 2023. She has also excavated at Abydos\, Mendes\, Deir el-Ballas and Amheida at Dakhleh Oasis. \nLectures are FREE for ARCE members. For non-ARCE members admission is as follows: $10 general admissions; $7 for Penn Museum members\, Faculty & Staff; $5 for Students with ID (12 and under FREE).

SUMMARY:Great Lecture: North American Mounds as World Heritage
DESCRIPTION:A millennium ago\, Native people constructed over 120 earthen mounds at the site of Cahokia\, a World Heritage site in Illinois. Built entirely by hand\, the largest of these constructions towered 100 feet over a city that was more densely populated than the contemporary medieval city of London. Over two thousand years before Cahokia’s construction\, Native people in Louisiana built Poverty Point\, another World Heritage site\, and one of the only earthwork complexes that rivals Cahokia’s size and complexity–and they did so without agriculture or permanent settlements. These sites highlight the incredible engineering ability of ancient Americans\, and remind us that we don’t need a passport to visit sites of outstanding universal value. \nSpeaker: Megan C. Kassabaum\, Associate Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, UPenn

SUMMARY:ARCE-PA Lecture by Dr. Rune Nyord\, Emory University
DESCRIPTION:ARCE-PA Annual Felix Korsyn Lecture\nSaturday March 18 at 3:30pm\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Rune Nyord\, Assistant Professor of Ancient Egyptian Art at Emory University and Samuel H. Kress Senior Fellow (2022/23) at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts in Washington\, D.C.\nLecture Topic: “No other satisfactory reason can be given”: The European discovery of the ancient Egyptian afterlife \nAbstract:\nThe modern understanding of the ancient Egyptians as bent on a quest for eternal life is the result of a long history of Western engagements with ancient Egypt. Associations like the preservation of bodies for eternity and initiation into religious mysteries interacted with textual sources of the Biblical and Classical traditions to shape images of the ancient culture that could be deployed in a variety of contexts for theological\, philosophical\, colonial\, and other purposes. This lecture examines some key formative moments in this tradition\, suggesting that many aspects of the modern understanding of Egyptian afterlife beliefs owe as much to the contemporary concerns of the milieus that helped shape them as to the ancient Egyptian sources that were only gradually becoming known as these ideas were crystalizing. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Rune Nyord is Assistant Professor of Ancient Egyptian Art at Emory University in Atlanta\, GA\, and Samuel H. Kress Senior Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (2022/23) in Washington\, D.C. His research focuses on conceptions and experiences of representation\, ontology\, and personhood in ancient Egypt\, especially as evidenced in ancient Egyptian funerary culture\, as well as the history of Western engagements with ancient Egypt. He is the author of Breathing Flesh: Conceptions of the Body in the Ancient Egyptian Coffin Texts (Museum Tusculanum Press 2009) and Seeing perfection: Ancient Egyptian images beyond representation (Cambridge University Press 2020)\, and has edited and co-edited of several volumes\, the most recent being Concepts in Middle Kingdom Funerary Culture (Brill 2019). \nLectures are FREE for ARCE members. For non-ARCE members admission is as follows: $10 general admissions; $7 for Penn Museum members\, Faculty & Staff; $5 for Students with ID (12 and under FREE).

SUMMARY:Great Lectures: Teotihuacan: Rome of the Ancient Americas
DESCRIPTION:Around 100 CE\, a huge metropolis began to emerge in the Basin of Mexico\, one the Aztecs would later call Teotihuacan\, or “Birthplace of the Gods.” It quickly came to dominate the region\, and\, with its completely new urban grid-plan\, contained as many as 150\,000 people. Its two gigantic buildings\, the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon\, were surrounded by smaller temples\, plazas\, and a thousand or more apartment compounds. They were all once richly painted in dazzling colors and complex designs depicting twisting feathered serpents\, prowling jaguars\, storm gods and water goddesses\, priests\, warriors\, and lords. But its history has long been a mystery\, and we are only now beginning to understand its importance and impact on ancient Mesoamerica. \nSpeaker: Simon Martin\, Associate Curator and Keeper in the American Section\, Penn Museum and Adjunct Associate Professor Anthropology\, UPenn

SUMMARY:Excavations at Ancient Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:The first excavations at ancient Phoenix (in southwestern Turkey)\, beginning in 2022\, have yielded extensive evidence for the existence of an Apollo Sanctuary at the site\, which was in use from the early Hellenistic period. The archaeological data have shown that the Doric temple transformed into a basilica in late antiquity\, serving as a church until the late Byzantine Period. This lecture focuses on the material culture that witnessed the ritual activities\, dedications\, and architectural transformation of the Apollo Sanctuary.

SUMMARY:Great Lecture: Histories of Historic Preservation in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Historic preservation has rarely been a subject taken up by historians. In an effort to address this ironic situation\, this talk recounts some of the main themes and critiques shaping the development of built heritage and its preservation in the U.S.—and how this process was itself shaped by periodic reimagining of the American past\, as well as by international movements such as UNESCO’s World Heritage Convention. \nSpeaker: Randall Mason\, Professor of City & Regional Planning/Historic Preservation\, Weitzman School of Design

SUMMARY:Stolen Legacy: A Conversation with the Artist and Curator
DESCRIPTION:Adult Events \nIn partnership with internationally-renowned artist\, composer\, and educator Hannibal Lokumbe\, the Penn Museum presents Stolen Legacy\, a libretto and musical commentary on the removal of art from the African continent. This provocative piece responds to how\, in Lokumbe’s own words\, “the exchange of money for art created expressly for the spiritual maintenance of a tribe and/or nation can create a lasting physiological wound to the culture from which it was removed.” He adds that “nowhere is this more evident than in the case of African art.” This program is part of the Museum’s own reflective process about our institutional history\, which is tied to colonialist and racist narratives\, and our work to reconcile our past with restorative practices. \nBe a part of this ongoing conversation about the history of museums and about ethical stewardship of the legacy of the past. \nAs part of a multi-tiered experience that includes classroom visits and a free public performance\, join Hannibal Lokumbe\, composer/author of Stolen Legacy\, for a conversation about the the intersections of art\, the cultural legacy of colonialism\, and monetary exchange\, open to both University of Pennsylvania students and the general public at the Penn Museum on January 13 at 3 pm. Dr. Tukufu Zuberi\, Curator of our Africa Galleries and Lasry Family Professor of Race Relations in Penn’s Sociology Department\, will facilitate the discussion between the artist and the audience. \nAbout Hannibal Lokumbe \nClassic composer and jazz trumpeter Hannibal Lokumbe (né Marvin Peterson) has been celebrating and commemorating the African-American experience through music and words for over four decades. Lokumbe’s work has been commissioned and performed by symphonies and orchestras across the country\, including the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra\, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra\, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra \, and the Philadelphia Orchestra. His oratorio “African Portraits” has been performed over two hundred times by orchestras across America since its Carnegie Hall debut in 1990\, and was recorded with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Daniel Barenboim. He has received numerous fellowships and awards\, including from the NEA\, and is a Lifetime Inductee to the Harlem Jazz Hall of Fame.

SUMMARY:American Research Center in Egypt- Pennsylvania Chapter (ARCE-PA) Lecture: Dr. Luigi Prada
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 15 \nDr. Luigi Prada\nAsst. Professor of Egyptology\, 
Uppsala University (Sweden) \n“If a crocodile has sex with her\, she will die swiftly”:
 Dreams and Divination in Ancient Egypt” \n3:30pm\nClassroom L2

\, Penn Museum \nAbstract \nIn the ancient world\, the Egyptians had a reputation for excelling in divination\, the practice of gaining knowledge about the future via occult channels. Many types of divination were known and habitually practiced in ancient Egypt\, primarily by temple priests who employed specific handbooks for this purpose. Such arts included astrology\, the study of the behavior of animals (so-called animal omina)\, oil divination (aka lecanomancy)\, and more. But one particularly popular branch of divination was oneiromancy\, that is\, dream interpretation. \nThis talk will introduce the audience to new research on ancient Egyptian oneiromancy\, discussing in detail the workings of dream interpretation manuals and what light they shed on our knowledge of the ancient Egyptian mind. \nBiography:\nDr. Luigi Prada is Assistant Professor of Egyptology at Uppsala University\, Sweden. Formerly\, he was a member of the Egyptology departments of Oxford\, Heidelberg\, and Copenhagen University. Within Egyptology\, he specializes in textual\, religious\, and social studies\, with particular focus on the Late and Graeco-Roman Periods. He is passionate about fieldwork\, and is the Assistant Director of the Oxford/Uppsala epigraphic team working with Egyptian colleagues in Elkab in southern Egypt; he has also participated in fieldwork in Sudan. He is currently President of the Society of Friends and Collaborators of the Museo Egizio in Turin (ACME).

SUMMARY:Artifacts and Archaeological Processes: The Lives and Afterlives of Objects in Pompeii
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Catherine Baker\, Bryn Mawr College\nFrom the chipped corners of an ancient die to the mortar on a reused inscription\, artifacts tell stories. Archaeologists reconstruct these object biographies\, tracing the lives of ancient artifacts from their creation to their final deposition. In this talk\, I explore the stories of some of the artifacts excavated by the Pompeii Archaeological Research Project: Porta Stabia (University of Cincinnati)\, including dice and gaming pieces\, statuettes\, tools of potters\, and even nails. These object biographies shed light not only on the way people first used these objects\, but on their afterlives – the ways in which objects were discarded\, recycled\, and reused. These lives and afterlives of objects\, in turn\, shape the archaeology of a site\, allowing us to trace the complex patterns of use\, reuse\, and discard which characterized the history of one neighborhood in the Roman city of Pompeii.\nHybrid Event. Register at Penn Museum for entry.
