SUMMARY:Living Room Lecture - Recycling for Death: Coffin Reuse in Ancient Egypt and the Theban Royal Caches
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Kara Cooney will discuss her latest book\, Recycling for Death\, a meticulous study of the social\, economic\, and religious significance of coffin reuse during the Ramesside and early Third Intermediate periods. Funerary datasets are the chief source of social history in Egyptology\, and the numerous tombs\, coffins\, Books of the Dead\, and mummies of the Twentieth and Twenty-first Dynasties have not been fully utilized as social documents\, mostly because the data of this time period is scattered and difficult to synthesize. This book is the culmination of fifteen years of coffin study\, analyzing coffins and other funerary equipment of elites from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-second Dynasties to provide essential windows into social strategies and adaptations employed during the Bronze Age collapse and subsequent Iron Age reconsolidation. \nCost: Pay what you wish \nRegistration is closed. \n\nAbout the Author \nKara Cooney is a professor of Egyptology at UCLA and Chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures. Specializing in social history\, gender studies\, and economies in the ancient world\, she received her Ph.D. in Egyptology from Johns Hopkins University. Her popular books include The Woman Who Would Be King: Hatshepsut’s Rise to Power in Ancient Egypt\, When Women Ruled the World: Six Queens of Egypt\, and The Good Kings: Absolute Power in Ancient Egypt and the Modern World. Her latest books include Ancient Egyptian Society: Challenging Assumptions\, Exploring Approaches (Routledge\, 2023) and Recycling for Death: Coffin Reuse in Ancient Egypt and the Theban Royal Caches (The American University in Cairo Press\, August 2024).

SUMMARY:Save Our Heritage Organization: Penning the Past Zoom Lecture - Little Italy
DESCRIPTION:Join the Save Our Heritage Organization to learn about the unique character of San Diego’s historic neighborhoods through the eyes of impassioned writers and historians. Brought to life by esteemed local authors\, Penning the Past promises to be an enriching exploration of San Diego’s architectural legacy and historical tapestry.  The series is free for SOHO members\, $10 per lecture for non-members. Your participation supports SOHO’s mission of education and advocacy to preserve the historic architecture\, sites\, and cultural landscapes that surround us and add meaning to our daily lives. \nLittle Italy by Dr. Thomas J. Cesarini\n \nItalian immigrants settled along San Diego’s waterfront in the early 1900s and formed the “Italian Colony\,” a tightly knit community that provided refuge\, shared culture\, and heritage. Extended families\, new businesses\, and church traditions formed the foundation for a lasting social code. It was no coincidence that the area would become known as Little Italy—it was exactly that for its inhabitants—a home away from their native land. But by the mid-1960s\, changes brought by war and urban modernization began to unravel the community. Take a compelling journey through this unique immigrant enclave. Vivid images and descriptive captions highlight essential elements of this community\, such as labor and longing\, fishing and family\, ritual and revitalization. Through photographs contributed by local community members\, this volume traces the evolution of a humble fishing village into the chic urban neighborhood that is Little Italy today. \nAuthor bio Dr. Thomas J. Cesarini\, a distinguished academic and nonprofit leader\, founded Convivio\, a nonprofit dedicated to Italian humanities. Holding a PhD in leadership studies and an M.A. in nonprofit leadership and management from the University of San Diego\, he is known for his advocacy for San Diego’s Italian community and was appointed as the Italian Honorary Consul in 2019. He established the Italian Historical Society of San Diego in 2006\, aiming to create a comprehensive Italian cultural center and museum. Dr. Cesarini’s commitment to fostering Italian arts\, culture\, and heritage makes him a stalwart advocate in the San Diego Italian-American community. \nThis event is hosted by the Save Our Heritage Organization.

Located among the rolling hills and mesa lands between San Diego and El Cajon\, today’s suburban city of over 56\,000 is still renowned for its small-town character\, featuring its historic village business district\, family-friendly neighborhoods\, good schools\, and ample retail and recreational amenities. The area’s centuries-old prehistory and history can be traced to the natural springs that attracted stockman Robert Allison in 1869. Allison Springs\, later renamed\, prospered and grew after the arrival of the railroad in 1889. After incorporation\, the young city grew steadily\, reaching 3\,925 residents by 1940. Post World War II La Mesa exemplified the exponential suburban growth of the region\, expanding to the north and west of the old downtown to accommodate 50\,000-plus residents by 1980—all were attracted\, as today\, to the “Jewel of the Hills.” \nAuthor bio Historian and planner for the California State Parks Department\, James Newland has been a stalwart in the field of historic preservation since 1991\, and is past president of the La Mesa History Center. He has an MA in public history from San Diego State\, has authored four insightful books on local history—Cleveland National Forest\, Grossmont Hospital: A Legacy of Community Service\, Around Mt. Helix\, and La Mesa—and has made countless contributions to our community’s heritage. \nThis event is hosted by the Save Our Heritage Organization.

Recent Investigations of the Ancestral Maya Ground Stone Tool Industry in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve\, Belize by Dr. Jon Spenard\nWhile conducting opportunistic regional survey in summer 2022 in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve\, Belize\, Dr. Jon Spenard’s Rio Frio Regional Archaeological Project was informed of a series of granitic rock debitage piles nearby. Investigations revealed them to be ancestral Maya quarries and ground stone tool workshops\, the first of their kind recorded anywhere in the Maya region. Naming the site the Buffalo Hill Quarries\, the project mapped over a dozen extraction features (quarry pits and cut faces) surrounded by debitage piles spread over an area of approximately 16 hectares (40 acres). Aided by data from an aerial LiDAR survey of the region\, the project returned in summer 2023 to finish mapping the site and conduct test excavations on an extraction locus to investigate ancestral Maya quarrying methods and techniques. In this talk\, Dr. Spenard will present the results of those two field seasons\, introduce more results from the LiDAR survey\, and discuss the next stages of the project\, including examining who the quarry workers were and how their products may have been distributed. \n12:30 PM – The Skeletons of La Consentida\, Oaxaca\, Mexico by José “Pepe” Aguilar\nTwelve burials\, comprising 14 individuals\, were excavated from an Early Formative Period (1950–1525 BC) site called La Consentida\, in Oaxaca\, Mexico in 2009 and in 2012. These burials were later analyzed in 2012 and 2019. Collectively\, they represent the earliest formal cemetery in the Mesoamerican west coast. Note: this presentation will show photographs of human skeletal remains.

Lecture screenings start at 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM and are included with museum admission. No reservations needed. Seating is first come\, first served. \n10:30 AM – Ethnozoology of the Kumeyaay People by Richard Carrico\nFor the Kumeyaay people of San Diego County\, animals\, birds\, insects\, and other creatures hold a special place in the cosmos and played a variety of important roles. Their embodiment is not always easily visualized because some creatures\, large and small\, exist in worlds not always seen by most humans\, and rarely acknowledged by archaeologists. For many of the native people\, there was a time when animals were actually human. In the mythic\, ancient time what we now know as humans\, or more correctly as mortals\, did not exist. The world was inhabited by animals and by animals who were humans but not mortals—these were the Early People and some creatures could embody traits of what came to be known as the mortal humans and animals. Only later in time did the separation grow between animals and humans\, and at that time the humans became mortal. This presentation will provide an analysis and discussion of the role and place of non-human creatures within the world and cosmos of the Kumeyaay people of San Diego County. \n12:30 PM – The First Chicken Burrito in Western North America: Zooarchaeology of Avian Remains for the San Diego Royal Presidio by Dr. Aharon Sasson\nThe San Diego Presidio\, established in AD 1769\, was the first European settlement in Upper California. Very little is known about chicken husbandry in colonial America\, which makes this study the first comprehensive analysis of chicken remains in North America. Chickens are scarcely mentioned in historical accounts describing early California\, and information on their sex\, age\, or management is rare. Small-scale poultry production\, likely managed by women and children\, provided California presidios with a form of subsistence independence.

Magnificent sea cliffs and caves\, bathing coves\, and sandy beaches have attracted visitors\, developers\, and residents since the 1880s. By the early 1900s\, a small community developed with artists congregating to the internationally known Green Dragon Colony. Newspaper heiress Ellen Browning Scripps and her half-sister Eliza Virginia established residences and became the community’s renowned philanthropists. Many beautiful homes and institutions\, along with a growing commercial district next to the sea\, owe their designs to architect Irving Gill. Today La Jolla still attracts visitors from around the world and is home to the rich\, the famous\, the avant-garde\, and intelligentsia. \nAuthor bio Author Carol Olten is the historian for the La Jolla Historical Society and a former journalist on subjects of art\, film\, history\, and architecture. She is a longtime La Jolla resident and currently owns and resides in one of the community’s oldest homes. Working with Heather Kuhn the society’s archivist and curator she traced La Jolla’s history with many rare and never before published photographs selected from the archives of the La Jolla Historical Society. Carol’s writing is educational\, investigative\, and intriguing\, and covers a wide range of topics from the history of movie theaters in La Jolla to the development and construction of some of its most iconic historic buildings. \nThis event is hosted by the Save Our Heritage Organization.
