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:2nd Saturday Lecture Screenings
DESCRIPTION:Join us every 2nd Saturday of the month for two screenings of our Living Room Lectures by archaeologists\, experts\, and authors. 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 – It’s Grind Time! 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.
