SUMMARY:Reading Matthew’s Gospel in the Cemeteries of Roman Syria and Judea
DESCRIPTION:Why does the Gospel of Matthew prefer a different word for burials\, taphoi\, than the other New Testament gospels? And why does Matthew consistently revise his sources to describe Jesus’s burial as costly? Matthew emphasizes that Jesus was anointed with expensive spices and buried in a rich patron’s new tomb\, which makes it appear as though he wanted to portray Jesus as receiving an elite burial. If\, however\, we read Matthew’s descriptions of burials in light of archaeological evidence of changing mortuary practices in provincial Syria and Judea\, where the gospel was composed sometime in the late first century\, his motives appear more complicated. Quick though he is to indicate that Jesus received a rich man’s burial\, Matthew is clear that this did not include any of the lavish displays of status that were increasingly common on elite tombs in Matthew’s context. Through a critical analysis of both text and funerary archaeology\, this presentation explores how the author of Matthew and his earliest audiences responded to and participated in cultural and socioeconomic changes induced by geopolitical shifts in the Roman East. \nBiography\nDr. Tony Keddie is Associate Professor of Ancient Mediterranean Religions and Fellow of the Ronald Nelson Smith Chair in Classics and Christian Origins at the University of Texas at Austin. An award-winning social historian\, Keddie’s interdisciplinary research focuses on the intersections of religion and economics in the Roman East\, particularly among Jews and Christians in Judea and Asia Minor. He is the author of four books\, including Class and Power in Roman Palestine; co-editor of five books\, including Revelation and Material Religion in the Roman East; and author of more than two dozen articles. \nRegistration required.

SUMMARY:Archaeology of the Bone Objects in the Eastern Mediterranean\, Near East\, the Black Sea area and the Balkans during the Hellenistic\, Roman and Early Byzantine periods
DESCRIPTION: in honour of Hector Williams\nWe are glad to inform you that an international e-conference on bone objects in the Hellenistic\, Roman and Early Byzantine periods in the eastern Mediterranean\, Near East\, Black Sea area and Balkans will take place on May 14\, 2025 on Zoom.us. Ancient bone objects were found in relatively large quantities in the entire Mediterranean\, from Spain to Syria and Egypt to France\, where they were manufactured between the Neolithic and Medieval periods. The art of carving animal bones involves especially antler and horn. However\, the spectrum of the worked bone objects recovered from Anatolia\, rest of the eastern Mediterranean\, Near East\, the Black Sea area and Balkans is very varied\, and reflects different characteristics of Graeco-Roman and Early Byzantine daily life. In these areas they were also utilised as grave goods secondarily. They were exported or imported over the entire ancient Graeco-Roman and Early Byzantine worlds. \nIn this conference papers dealing with ancient artefacts or objects manufactured by worked bone\, antler\, ivory\, animal teeth\, mother of pearl and cockleshell will be included. Main material groups made by bones are as follows: items connected to personal grooming\, weaponry\, artifacts used for spinning or in pottery decoration\, artifacts related to cosmetics\, jewellery\, combs\, pins for clothing and women’s hair\, items related to dressmaking and textile (particularly sewing needles\, weaving implements or buttons)\, parts of soldiers’ equipment\, items used for leather working\, amulets and other magical items\, knife handles\, musical instruments\, playing stones (e.g.\, lopsided dices)\, frames of various kinds (e.g.\, of mirrors)\, furniture (including fittings\, wood sidings and inlayed decoration)\, boxes\, plaques\, writing items (for example\, κάλαμοι\, calami in Lat.)\, liturgical and religious items (e.g.\, crosses and reliquaries)\, half-finished products and miscellania. Just in the rest of the Roman world\, hairpins are the most numerous artifacts made of bone or antler in the Eastern part of the Empire. Gaming pieces represent the other widespread and customary instrumentum category of the worked bones. Several other material groups also used during the processing of bone artefacts\, for example\, some objects may have been filled with coloured wax to make them to stand out. \nSo far the study of this material group has been overlooked\, whereas there is still a huge amount of unpublished material from excavations\, field surveys and museums in the entire Mediterranean and rest of the ancient world. There is a regular conference series of the Worked Bone Research Group (WBRG; cf. ) which include almost all periods and areas. In our e-meeting in 2025 we only focus on bone objects between the fourth century B.C. and the sixth century A.D.\, and attempt to set out a comprehensive model for the study of bone objects\, including their definition\, typology\, chronology\, contexts\, function\, regional characteristics\, production and distribution patterns in the whole eastern Mediterranean geographies\, including the Near East\, Black Sea area and Balkans. The increasing number of recent finds in the concerned areas over the last thirty years\, thanks to the development of preventive archaeology\, has tended to challenge our previous observations and assumptions on Graeco-Roman and Byzantine worked bone objects. \nIt is also our intention to create a complete bibliography of previous publications on bone objects for several areas and chronologies. \nWe warmly invite contributions by scholars and graduate students from a variety of disciplines related to this material group. Intended to bring together scholars of Greek\, Roman and Early Byzantine instrumenta / artefacts’ archaeology to discuss a range of issues concerning this material group characteristics\, this video conference should be an excellent opportunity to increase our knowledge about ancient worked bones. The following theme groups are the main questions of the conference which are prescriptive: \n– Bone objects from archaeological field projects\, museums and private collections\,\n– Graeco-Roman bone objects in comparison with the bone objects of the Paleolithic\, Mesolithic\, Neolithic periods\, Bronze and Iron Ages\,\n– Graeco-Roman bone objects in comparison with the Minoan and Mycenaean bone objects\,\n– Etymology of bone objects in ancient Near Eastern\, eastern Mediterranean and Aegean languages\,\n– Ancient Greek\, Latin and Byzantine textual sources on bone objects\,\n– Typological evolution and design of bone objects\,\n– Selection criteria for some certain animal genres for bone-working\,\n– Decoration of bone objects\, as detailed chronologies should be established for both the produced forms and their decoration\,\n– Chronologies of these objects that can highlight the social spread of these products\,\n– Manufacturing technics\, manufacturing tools\, major production centres and workshops of bone objects in the Hellenistic\, Roman and Early Byzantine periods\, their organisation and interactions.\n– Distribution of bone objects\, economic and social aspects: in what type of socio-economic context are they found?\,\n– Typological and functional features of bone objects during the Hellenistic\, Roman and Early Byzantine periods: what might the utilitarian\, social and/or symbolic functions or practices of these objects have been?\n– Identification of the economic factors that contributed to the standardization in the bone-working\,\n– What ancient Greeks\, Romans and Byzantines thought about afterlife? Bone objects in the eastern Mediterranean funerary contexts\,\n– The role of monastic or religious economy in Early Byzantine bone-working\,\n– Commodities and their trade through bone objects\,\n– Relations of bone objects to metal\, terracotta\, glass\, wooden or stone objects: how did this material group fit in with objects made from different materials\, particularly metal\, glass\, or wood? Can any stylistic links be found between them?\n– Roman bone objects in the eastern and western Mediterranean and Europe\, and their differences\,\n– Hellenistic and Roman gravestones and other iconographic media depicting bone objects\,\n– Conservation of worked bone objects\, especially excavated finds: current strategies and future approaches\,\n– Archaeometric analyses of these objects\,\n– Miscellanea. \nOn these themes and questions\, all approaches and methods susceptible to bring some progress to our current knowledge are of course welcome: archaeology\, physical anthropology\, archaeozoology\, osteoarchaeology\, bioarchaeology\, palaeohistology\, ancient history\, history of art\, cultural anthropology etc. \nA special focus of the workshop is the identification of workshops from different regions\, cities and areas\, in particular capital cities (such as Byzantium\, Ephesus\, Pergamum\, Antioch-on-the-Orontes\, Alexandria\, Athens\, Rome etc.) with main workshops. A regional approach will enable us to understand the influences and contacts between workshops. Were these exclusively urban activities\, or also rural? What motivated their establishment? Political powers\, raw materials\, the development of urban centres and the urban elite (merchants\, craftsmen\, religious orders\, etc.) or economic outlets? And\, are there any imitations or copies in certain localities suggesting competition between workshops? \nAnother important topic is the manufacturing techniques which were varied and depended on the composition and morphology of each raw material type as much as on the artefact to be produced. Regardless of the raw material\, the manufacturing process of an ancient bone object was usually multi-stage: \n1. Selection and acquisition of the raw material;\n2. Preparation of the raw material\, including cleaning\, drying and cutting into pieces;\n3. The appropriate working processes using instruments like knives\, chisels\, files\, lathes and bow-drills;\n4. Finishing the worked objects by grinding\, polishing and colouring. \nThe previous finds reflect that mostly manufacturing techniques were related to an organized production where the different manufacturing stages were standardized and predefined\, which can be identified as a chaîne opératoire. Particular attention should be paid to these technical aspects\, which are the integral parts of the uniqueness of most of the ancient worked bone objects.\nWe also need to look at the distribution of these objects on a local\, regional\, and even supra-regional scale\, and trade networks. Some have crossed the overseas\, such as Anatolian products unearthed in England. How can these exchanges be explained? \nOur conference is primarily virtual\, and will take place on Zoom; but if any of the participants will wish to appear in Izmir physically\, she/he is welcome to present her/his paper in our conference room to the audience which will also be livestreamed and broadcasted simultaneously on Zoom. \nAll the readings and discussions in our e-conference will be in English\, and recorded for later viewing as a podcast on YouTube. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the forthcoming issues of the Archaeology of western Anatolia (AwA) in 2026. The conference is free of charge. \nWe would be delighted\, if you could consider contributing to our conference and contact us with the registration form below until March 1\, 2024. Our e-mail address is paphlagonia@deu.edu.tr \nFor all your queries concerning the conference our phone and WhatsApp number is +90.544.540 78 34. The organizers seek to widen participation at this conference\, and would like to encourage colleagues from all parts of the world to attend. We kindly request that you alert any interested researches\, colleagues and students within your research community who would be interested in participating at this e-conference\, either by forwarding our first circular and poster through your Academia\, Researchgate\, Instagram\, X\, YouTube\, Facebook accounts\, or other similar social media\, or by printing them and displaying in your institutions.

SUMMARY:Archaeology of the Oyo Empire (West Africa): Chivalry\, Colonies\, and Household Politics in the Early Modern Period
DESCRIPTION:Between ca. 1650 and 2800\, the Oyo Empire was the largest political formation in West Africa\, south of the River Niger. Over the past twenty years\, Akin Ogundiran has conducted archaeological research in the capital\, colonies\, and provinces of the empire to understand the strategies of Oyo expansion and the everyday lives of different segments of its population. In this talk\, Ogundiran juxtaposes the materialities of military conquest\, colonization strategies\, and household politics to tell an intimate story of one of the most important imperial formations in Africa during the Early Modern Period. Here\, the regional and multi-sided scope and the residential contexts of the archaeological research allow for a fine-scale understanding of how domesticity\, gender\, class\, labor\, technology\, mobility\, and the landscape were manipulated to fashion the Oyo Empire. In the process\, ideas about personhood\, family\, and sexuality were also transformed. The archaeology of the Oyo Empire contributes to a truly global understanding of the Early Modern Period.

SUMMARY:How the Egyptian state formation impacted and transformed the socio-spatial landscape of the First Nile Cataract region between the 4th and the 3rd millennia BCE
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Lecture on Zoom\nSaturday\, February 10 at 1:oopm EST\nFREE event\, but registration is required: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0kcemprjoiGNEokVuvL42ACyOqXzkyhoWn#/registration \nSpeaker: Dr. Maria Gatto\, Assistant Professor\, Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures Polish Academy of Sciences \nLecture Topic: The BORDERSCAPE Project – How the Egyptian state formation impacted and transformed the socio-spatial landscape of the First Nile Cataract region between the 4th and the 3rd millennia BCE \nAbstract:\nThe ancient Egyptian state\, traditionally known as the earliest territorial polity of human history\, developed in the Lower Nile region at the end of the 4th millennium BCE. Alongside the political transformations\, the complex process of state formation instigated far-reaching and profound changes in the socio-economic structure of its territory. With the example of our modern nation-states and geopolitical borders in mind\, we expect such changes to have especially marked its newly established borders. However\, current scholarship has determined that the ancient Egyptian state did not function as our modern states do\, and this\, of course\, has consequences on the nature of its borders. While many studies have discussed the ancient Egyptian borders in dynastic times\, none has focused on understanding how they came into being. The BORDERSCAPE Project at the Polish Academy of Sciences has taken up the challenge by focusing on the ancient Egyptian southern border with Nubia\, geographically corresponding to the First Nile Cataract region. The talk discusses the preliminary results of the project investigation of the time and nature of discontinuities in settlement patterns\, land use and community structuring between the 4th and the 3rd millennia BCE. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Gatto is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures Polish Academy of Sciences\, where she directs the BORDERSCAPE Project and the Division of Ancient Egyptian Borderlands. Previously she held research and teaching positions in Egyptology and Archaeology at the University of Leicester\, University of Birmingham\, Yale University and at the British Museum. In recent years\, Maria has been a Visiting Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo\, a Visiting Professor of Archaeology at the University of Bologna\, and a Guest Lecturer in Prehistory at the Sapienza University of Rome. Since 2017\, she is an Honorary Visiting Fellow at the School of Archaeology and Ancient History of the University of Leicester. Since 2005 she is the PI and co-director of the Aswan-Kom Ombo Archaeological Project.

SUMMARY:Everything but a Bath?: The Small Bath at Antiochia ad Cragum
DESCRIPTION:“Everything but a Bath?: The Small Bath at Antiochia ad Cragum” with Dr. Leticia R. Rodriguez\, UC Berkeley\, Center 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.

SUMMARY:Making Stone Tools Across the Millennia: Results from the Bandafassi Regional Archaeological Project survey in southeastern Senegal
DESCRIPTION:Matthew V. Kroot\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\nArizona State University\nSchool of Human Evolution & Social Change \nStone tools in Africa are the earliest evidence we have of human material culture. Their shifting roles in societies over millions of years provide us with unparalleled insights into long-term human histories. As a part of a broader program of archaeological survey and excavation\, the Bandafassi Regional Archaeological Project collected chipped stone artifacts from over 100 sites in southeastern Senegal. In this talk\, I will present our analysis of these stone tools. Results show dramatic changes through time in raw material use\, production methods\, and the roles of stone tool economies in society. Additionally\, our work highlights the essential role of chipped stone technology well after the introduction of iron smelting and access global trade markets during the Atlantic Period. This research demonstrates that large-scale regional studies of stone tool economies and a focused interest on chipped stone after the Stone Age can provide significant insights into the structures and practices of local communities embedded in regional and global social networks.
