SUMMARY:Reconstructing Osiris: Dismemberment\, Decapitation\, and Mummification in Predynastic Egypt
DESCRIPTION:In-Person Lecture\nSaturday\, October 21 at 3:30pm\nPenn Museum\, Anthro Classroom 345 \nSpeaker: Dr. Jane Hill\, Asst. Prof. of Anthropology\, Rowan University \nLecture Topic: Reconstructing Osiris: Dismemberment\, Decapitation\, and Mummification in Predynastic Egypt \nAbstract:\nCases of well provisioned Predynastic graves containing both disarticulated skeletons and plentiful and costly burial goods have invited various interpretations since their earliest documentation by W.M.F. Petrie and James Quibell in their publications of the excavation of the great Predynastic cemeteries of Naqada and Ballas. While Petrie’s initial interpretation of cannibalism is not supported by the surviving osteological or material records\, the presentation of these burials nevertheless raises interesting questions about the beliefs and ritual behind these postmortem skeletal arrangements. More recent discovery of a collection of disembodied skulls at the site of el-Adaima seems to indicate a more sinister practice. Evidence suggests that while the dissolution of the body in death was to be carefully avoided in some cases\, it was actively sought in others\, depending on the social role that each of these individuals inhabited. How may we understand decapitation\, dismemberment\, and re-articulation within the developing religious practice of Predynastic Egypt? Using the Predynastic mummy of a mature male in the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology collections as a lens through which to analyze these burials\, the author will discuss the possible religious and ecological reasons for the treatment of these bodies. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Jane Hill holds a doctorate in Egyptian Archaeology from the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. She also holds masters degrees in anthropology and art history/Egyptology from the University of Memphis. She has excavated and done epigraphic work on archaeological projects at the sites of Giza\, Abydos\, el-Amra\, Saqqara\, and Karnak Temple in Luxor Egypt. At her project site of el-Amra she discovered evidence of a Predynastic Egyptian town. In the United States\, Dr. Hill has excavated Native American sites of the Mississippian Period in the southeast. Currently Dr. Hill teaches anthropology\, archaeology and Egyptian Archaeology at Rowan University where she serves as co-curator of the Museum of Anthropology at Rowan University (MARU). Her research interests include co-development of major elite cemeteries and urbanism in Upper Egypt’s formative period\, and the development of Egyptian administrative and writing systems. Most recently she participated in the analysis of human remains found in the Second Intermediate Period royal cemetery at Abydos under the direction of Dr. Josef Wegner. \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:The Life Cycle of Theban Tomb 16 in Luxor\, Egypt
DESCRIPTION:In-Person Lecture\nSaturday\, September 16 at 3:30pm\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Suzanne Onstine\, Associate Professor of History\, University of Memphis \nLecture Topic: The Life Cycle of Theban Tomb 16 in Luxor\, Egypt \nAbstract:\nSince 2008\, the University of Memphis mission to Theban Tomb 16 has been documenting\, clearing\, and studying this non-royal monument located on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor\, Egypt in the so-called “Valley of the Nobles”. It was originally built for a priest named Panehsy and his wife Tarenu who lived during the time of Ramesses II (ca. 1250 BCE). Their beautifully painted tomb contains interesting details related to the posthumous cult of the deified Amenhotep I and Ahmose Nefertari\, as well as funerary motifs and “daily life” scenes. The tomb was also reused for nearly 1000 years by later pharaonic-era Egyptians as their tomb. Their looted remains have provided many insights in health and mummification practices in post-New Kingdom Egypt. In this lecture we will explore Panehsy and his life\, based on what is in his tomb\, and the lives of the 100+ individuals who were also buried there. As part of the life cycle of the tomb\, we will touch on issues such as the re-use of tombs\, modern looting\, and how our modern investigations can create a more holistic view of this monument. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Suzanne Onstine is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Memphis. She received her B.A in Anthropology at the University of Arizona and her M.A and Ph.D. in Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations at the University of Toronto. In addition to being a co-PI for the National Science Foundation funded project “Methodology for Reconstructing Prior River Flow”\, she currently directs the University of Memphis mission to Theban Tomb 16\, the tomb of Panehsy in Dra abu el-Naga\, Luxor and has done archaeology in Egypt for more than 25 years. She has published many works on religion and gender in addition to various aspects of work in TT16. \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:ARCE-PA Symposium in Honor of Dr. David B. O'Connor: Abydos Through the Ages
DESCRIPTION:ARCE-PA Symposium in Honor of Dr. David B. O’Connor\nSaturday\, June 10\, 9am-5pm\nHybrid Event: Penn Museum\, Rainey Auditorium & Webinar \nLecture is FREE to attend\, but requires registration for in-person and virtual options. Register here: https://www.penn.museum/calendar/1584/arce-pa-symposium \nSymposium Topic: Abydos Through the Ages \nAbstract:\nARCE-PA’s June 10 2023 symposium on the archaeology of Abydos will honor the legacy of Dr. David B. O’Connor. In 1967 O’Connor\, then Curator of the University Museum’s Egyptian Section\, started the Pennsylvania-Yale Expedition to Abydos. During the 1960s-1990s his research at Abydos focused on North Abydos with its cemeteries and temples linked with the cult of the Egyptian funerary god Osiris. Over the course of his later career\, both at Penn and then at the Institute of Fine Arts\, New York University\, O’Connor was instrumental in fostering a broadening range of intensive archaeological activity at Abydos. New archaeological research occurred in numerous areas such as the late Old Kingdom to Middle Kingdom mortuary landscape of the Middle Cemetery\, the royal funerary complexes of Kings Senwosret III and Ahmose at South Abydos\, and the memorial temples of Kings Thutmose III and Ramses II. In 2009 O’Connor published Abydos: Egypt’s First Pharaohs and the Cult of Osiris\, a book that examined the rich and ever-changing archaeological picture of ancient Abydos. With the continued sponsorship of the Penn Museum\, Institute of Fine Arts/New York University\, University of Michigan\, and other institutions\, the program of North American and Egyptian archaeologists working at Abydos\, and in Egypt\, has grown and prospered thanks to the foundation provided by O’Connor’s long dedication to Egyptian archaeology and the site of Abydos. The symposium will include lectures by scholars who started their careers under David O’Connor\, examining past discoveries\, their most recent archaeological research at Abydos\, and the ways in which O’Connor shaped their own careers. \nAbydos Symposium Speakers:\nDr. Matthew D. Adams\, Senior Research Scholar\, Institute of Fine Arts\, NYU\nDr. Janet Richards\, Professor of Egyptology in the Department of Middle East Studies\, Univ. of Michigan and Curator of Dynastic Egyptian Collections at the Kelsey Museum\nDr. Josef Wegner\, Professor of Egyptian Archaeology in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and Curator in the Egyptian Section of the Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology\nDr. Stephen Harvey\, Director of the Ahmose and Tetisheri Project\nDr. Michelle Marlar\, Director of Egyptian Archaeological Missions at the Houston Museum of Natural Science\nMr. Hazem Salah Abdullah\, Senior Inspector\, Sohag Antiquities Office\, Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities\, EGYPT\nMr. Mohamed Abu El-Yazid\, Senior Inspector\, Sohag Antiquities Office\, Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities\, EGYPT\nMr. Ayman Damarany\, Inspector\, Sohag Antiquities Office\, Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities\, EGYPT\nDr. Sameh Iskander\, Research Associate\, Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW)\nDr. Diana Craig Patch\, Lila Acheson Wallace Curator in Charge\, Dept. of Egyptian Art\, Metropolitan Museum \nCoffee & Tea will be available starting at 8:30am. There will be a 1.5 hour break for lunch.

SUMMARY:Great Lecture: Saving the Archaeology and Monuments of Lower Nubia
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in 1902\, the archaeological sites and monuments of Lower Nubia were increasingly threatened by the construction of the series of dams on the Nile River at Aswan. By the early 1960s\, the ancient land of Lower Nubia had vanished forever beneath the waters of Lake Nasser. Through international efforts\, some of the cultural heritage of Lower Nubia was saved (including monuments like the temples of Abu Simbel and Philae); most other sites\, such as the fortress of Buhen\, a focus of work for the Penn Museum\, were destroyed. This talk will examine these sites\, the program of rescue archaeology\, and the role of the Penn Museum in rescuing the archaeological heritage of Lower Nubia. \nSpeaker: Josef Wegner\, Associate Professor of Egyptian Archaeology\, Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and Curator\, Egyptian Section\, Penn Museum

SUMMARY:ARCE-PA Lecture by Dr. Jessica Tomkins\, Wofford College
DESCRIPTION:ARCE-PA Lecture\nSunday\, May 7 at 3:30pm\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Jessica Tomkins\, Assistant Professor of History\, Wofford College \nLecture Topic: Rethinking Old Kingdom Kingship \nAbstract:\nFollowing Champollion’s decipherment of hieroglyphs\, our understanding of Egyptian society advanced at lightning speed with every new text published. However\, this rapid pace of scholarship also caused certain early ideas to become engrained in the field as facts rather than interpretations or opinions. In recent decades\, scholars have begun to question and break down some of these perceived “truths” such as that of a highly centralized government and the redistributive economy model for early Egyptian society. In doing so\, it became clear that these earlier interpretations were based on Eurocentric understandings of the monarchy model of government. This lecture traces how and why the nascent Egyptian state was understood through this Eurocentric lens and the subsequent impact such modes of thinking have had in understanding the Egyptian political state\, from the period of state formation through the Old Kingdom. This paper will contribute to the dialog on replacing our Eurocentric understanding of early ancient Egyptian kingship\, statehood\, and government with one based on African models\, with an aim to place our interpretation of ancient Egypt back into its original African context. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Jessica Tomkins is Assistant Professor of History at Wofford College. She was previously the Terrace Research Associate in Egyptian Art at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston and was the inaugural W. Benson Harer Egyptology Scholar in Residence at California State University\, San Bernardino. Jessica was awarded a PhD in Egyptology from Brown in 2019 with a dissertation that examined the display and negotiation of power between the central and provincial governments as seen through Old Kingdom provincial mastabas at Dendera and El Kab. Her current research questions the model of government and modes of power in Old Kingdom Egypt. \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: 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.

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.
