Maritime Archaeology & Ancient Egypt at ASU Tempe Campus, Business Administration C Wing (BAC) Room 116

April 19, 2012 from 6pm to 7pm
Speaker: Pearce Paul CreasmanSponsored by the Archaeological Research Center in EgyptMaritime archaeology is a multifaceted field that has long been practiced in Egypt, though often not recognized as such. Seeds of the discipline can be found in Egypt as early as 1798, when Napoléon’s expedition sought to locate an ancient canal that linked the Nile River and Gulf of Suez. Simply, maritime archaeology focuses on understanding sacred and secular human interactions with the water through…See More

January 26, 2012 from 6pm to 7pm
Speaker: William Fitzhugh "Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire" will present new historical and archaeological evidence for one of the most remarkable military and political achievements of all time. Arising as a poverty-stricken outcast, Temujin--later to be renamed Genghis Khan—unified warring clans into a Mongol nation and proceeded to assemble the largest empire the world has ever known, stretching from Korea to India and Hungary. Much maligned by early historians, Genghis proved to be an…See More

Amazons, Roma, and the Virtuous Breast at ASU Tempe Campus, Business Administration C Wing (BAC) Room 116

February 23, 2012 from 6pm to 7pm
Speaker: Lillian Joyce, University of Alabama HuntsvilleRoma embodied Roman culture in complex ways from the Republic into the Principate. Most representations of Roma, almost 70% of the surviving images, portrayed her in Amazonian dress. This became the preferred costume during the Principate. Of these images, over 40% had one breast exposed. While numerous studies have explored Roma's appearance using attributes such as her helmet, weapons, globes, trophies, and inscriptions, the significance…See More

Preserving Maya Heritage: Examples from the Ancient and Historic Past at ASU Tempe Campus, Business Administration C Wing (BAC) Room 116

March 29, 2012 from 6pm to 7pm
Speaker: Richard Leventhal The Maya past is looked upon with great interest as the evidence and remains of a once great civilization lost in the jungles of Central America.  Both Mexican and American cultures have tied themselves back to this ancient culture – either as the basis for an indigenous past or as the basis for a culture of exploration and study.At the same time, the Maya people today see continuities and connections to the ancient Maya cities and civilization as well as a direct…See More

Barge of Heaven: Cleopatra the Goddess at Neeb Hall 105

December 1, 2011 from 6pm to 7pm
Speaker: Alison Futrell For Shakespeare’s Cleopatra, a yearning after immortality is the last of her many and varied carnal desires, as she abandons physical pleasures for her final self-presentation as eternal queen, her final reality in reunion with Antony. The historical Cleopatra VII, as a prominent political figure, likewise developed multiple personae to enable positive interactions with a range of audiences in the ancient Mediterranean. Her deployment of divine identities, far from the…See More

Thanks for the information. Where dinner is, will not be my deciding factor but the administration of antibiotics to Hatshepsut will. If I don't like the place ( I hate Mexican) I can always eat before when I get to the area as I usually don't stop for lunch when I drive to Phoenix. But it is fun to meet with the speaker after the talk. And I enjoy the social contact. I really feel isolated from a group and if I lived closer, I would have a more active part.

Where will we be having dinner for the upcoming lecture? I assume it will be before the lecture. I think I will be coming depending on the progress of Hatshepsut's ear. She had surgery as she had a huge hematoma and is currently on antibiotics. If she is off them by then, I will come. If not I can't leave her for two days without the medication. I bring her home tomorrow so will know by then.

Before I plan on attending the Sept lecture I need some information. With great difficulty and much enlarging I finally located the building where the lecture will be. I note that we will be on the third floor. Does this building have elevators? My stair climbing is restricted.
Also will we be eating dinner with the speaker? Before the lecture or after the lecture? The lecture hall is quite far from where we usually eat. Or will there be a new dinner site? If there is no dinner involved then I can easily eat beforehand. But I am concerned about handicapped access to the new lecture site.

Thanks so much for scheduling a program about Southwest archaeology for September. You might remember that last year I repeatedly asked for something about regional sites. Though if you have ever been to Chaco you might think it is in a foreign country, remote and not on any main roads, but it is a significant regional site. I am sending Jane a donation to be used for programs like this.

Thanks for all your hard work over the summer to set up the new lecture year. It looks great. I should be able to attend all except January when hopefully I will be in Egypt. So please, if you can, don't schedule the Lesko lecture for January as my trip is planned for Jan 13 to 30. I will be doing private travel with two friends, one who has never been to Egypt. Should be fun.

OK. Sigh. I already feel like I am in Limbo and now there is mumbo jumbo. Thanks for helping.

Tom asked that we send nominations for officers for the upcoming year to the secretary. I sincerely hope that we can keep the same officers for at least one more year. What you four have accomplished in the time since June 2008 is fantastic. And we have had and are having the best year we have ever had. Though I don't expect that you will stay in office for the next ten years I sincerely hope you will consider taking at least one more year as vice president.

If this meets with your approval and the approval of the other officers perhaps there is some way we can use this website to contact all participants for approval of this slate of officers. Today I am writing to Tom, Jayne, and Adele with the same request.

I realize that the last nine months have been a tremendous learning experience for you all. But now with this experience it may just be easier the second time around.

I just sent a comment to Tom. The Egyptologist Leonard Lesko is a friend of our speaker and was at the last lecture. I spoke with him briefly and knew his name was familiar but wasn't sure of details. Turns out he is, among other things, the author of a fascinating book The Wine Cellar of the Pharaohs and is an authority on wine and beer of pharaonic times. This would be a fascinating lecture and as long as he is a Phoenix area resident he would not be too expensive. Or he might have another topic also. He is a retired Egyptologist from Brown who has now moved to our area. This is an idea for next season. I have no idea what he would want for a stipend but we could find out. I'm sure he will be at dinner on Monday.

I just received a message from you but only the first few words came through. I assume it was telling me about dinner. We'll be there. I'll see you tomorrow.

PS when I selected you to send this message all the messages you have received from anyone appeared received from January 1-Dec.5.
