DC Day of Archaeology 2024

On Saturday, June 1, 17勛圖was pleased to sponsor and participate in the annual DC Day of Archaeology Festival organized by泭. With 22 organizations and over 400 participants, the event gathered archaeological organizations around the DMV at Dumbarton House for a day of community outreach and sharing of local resources. Participants were able to visit the tables of local organizations to learn about a wide variety of archaeological topics, from dendrochronology to cultural heritage to ceramic reconstruction.

The 17勛圖table included several activities for a variety of ages and knowledge levels, as well as informative posters about our organization and Cultural Heritage Initiatives. For children, we provided coloring sheets of two mosaics from the El Jem Archaeological Museum in Tunisia. Additionally, we had trivia sheets for participants to fill out that covered the basics of archaeology (If an archaeologist is a lithic specialist, what material do they study?) as well as more focused questions about our areas of research (Located in modern-day Iraq, what is the central feature of the ancient city of Ur?). Our most interactive activity showcased our cultural heritage work, as participants used GPS technology and KoboToolbox to collect data and document a ���tomb��� that we built.

Mount Zion – Female Union Band Society Cemetery Documentation Event

Mount Zion ��� Female Union Band Society Cemetery Documentation Event

Ever wanted to learn the art of preserving history? Curious about the stories etched in the stones of local cemeteries? Here���s your chance to dive into the fascinating world of cemetery documentation!

泭is a historic cemetery located in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C.泭 The three-acre cemetery is composed of two roughly equal-sized halves, the Mount Zion Cemetery on the east and the Female Union Band Society Cemetery on the west, separated along a subtle north-south ridge in the center of the property.

Historically called the Old Methodist Burying Ground, the cemetery originated as a churchyard burial ground. It was established by the Montgomery Street Methodist Church in 1808, which gathered at the Montgomery Street Meeting House, formerly located on Twenty-Eighth Street between M and Olive Streets, N.W. (formerly Montgomery Street between Bridge and Olive Streets), approximately one-half mile southwest of the cemetery. The Montgomery Street Methodist Church was one of the few churches at the time that accepted white and black members, though on a segregated basis. Nearly half of the congregation consisted of former slaves and free blacks in the years leading up to 1816, when a group of 125 black members, dissatisfied with segregation, established their own congregation under the supervision of the parent church.

The congregation, now called the Mount Zion United Methodist Church and located at 1334 Twenty-Ninth Street, N.W., is thought to be the oldest black congregation in the District of Columbia, as well as the first black Methodist church in the area. The cemetery is the only remaining in D.C. used to inter a significant number of former slaves.

On October 19, 1842, a tract of land along the western border of the Old Methodist Burying Ground was sold for $250 to Joseph Mason in trust for the Female Union Band Society, a cooperative benevolent society founded in the same year by a group of free African American and Native American women. The Female Union Band Society purchased the western lot of Mount Zion to establish a secular burying ground for African Americans, which remained a prominent cemetery for the region���s African American community until 1950.

Introduction to Heritage Documentation

THURSDAY, June 27, 2024

7:00 ��� 9:00pm EDT

Via Zoom

This training will introduce foundational concepts in heritage documentation for historic cemeteries:

  1. Cemetery documentation fundamentals
  2. Data collection: Kobotoolbox
  3. Basics of Photogrammetry

泭is a free and open source software package for location and descriptive data collection. Information can be collected at heritage sites through tablets and phones using the KoBoCollect app or through the web browser interface, even when those devices are offline. Location and descriptive data recorded in the field can then be synched up with GIS software once an internet connection has been reestablished.

Photogrammetry泭is the use of two dimensional (2D) images to provide measurement data. Measurement data includes the creation of 3D models for heritage documentation and preservation. Processing heritage data through photogrammetry offers a transformative lens into the past. By meticulously capturing and analyzing images, we unveil hidden dimensions of cemeteries and tombs. This method not only preserves archaeological sites digitally but also facilitates precise measurements and reconstructions, fostering deeper insights into the legacies of African Americans in the Washington D.C. area.

Pp. 64���72:泭���Evidence for Pastoral Nomads and Travelers in the Eastern Desert: Site 51 and Beyond at Wadi el-Hudi, Egypt,��� by Kate Liszka

In the Egyptian Eastern Desert, southeast of Aswan, the Wadi el-Hudi Archaeological Expedition discovered extensive evidence of pastoral nomads living, working, and grazing animals at several archaeological sites. Site 51, newly discovered in January 2023, is a short-term domestic shelter with natural alcoves used by pastoral nomads for millennia. It includes over fifty newly discovered rock inscriptions of cows, ibexes, tally marks, and graffiti. Several grinding stones and nearly a hundred cupules demonstrate the nomads��� collection and processing of local plants while they tended their animals. Additionally, other travelers also sheltered at Site 51 throughout the millennia. This discovery adds to the increasing evidence that, in addition to being an ancient Egyptian site for the mining of amethyst and gold, Wadi el-Hudi was an important zone for pastoral nomads.

Pp. 74-99:泭���The Cemetery of Hala Sultan Tekke, Cyprus: Further Evidence of Interculturality and Burial Customs in the Late Bronze Age,��� by Peter M. Fischer

This study deals with the results from the 2018���2023 fieldwork at the cemetery of Hala Sultan Tekke. The aim of the project is the safeguarding, excavation, recording, and study of tombs exposed to farming, erosion, and looting. The stratigraphy of the tombs that were used over generations represents an excellent complement to the sequence of occupation in the city. The mortuary gifts and personal belongings date mainly to the fifteenth to thirteenth centuries BCE and confirm far-reaching trade, further underlining the role of the city as a trading center in the Mediterranean economic system. The material evidence corroborates connections with societies of the Mycenaean, Minoan, Hittite, Levantine, and Egyptian spheres of culture as well as networks with regions as far away as Sardinia, the Baltic Sea, Mesopotamia, Afghanistan, and India. In addition, several find contexts provide valuable information about the complex mortuary customs of the Late Cypriot period.

Pp. 100-109: ���As Time Goes by: Identifying the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of the Hala Sultan Tekke Coastal Area (Cyprus) by Means of Surface Surveying,��� by Polte De Weirdt, Ralf Vandam, Jan Coenaerts, and Karin Nys

Contrary to the idiosyncratic ���tell-type嚙�? urban settlements that epitomize Late Bronze Age societies in the eastern Mediterranean and the Near East, a handful of major urban settlements on Cyprus, such as Hala Sultan Tekke and Maroni, embodied a completely different notion of urban engineering. Instead of dense urban city centers where numerous residents resided close to each other, these ���atypical嚙�? settlements were apparently organized with broad areas of open space between smaller occupational ���clusters.嚙�? By means of archaeological survey combined with a landscape archaeological approach, the Hala Sultan Tekke Hinterland Survey Project (HST-HASP) aims to (re)evaluate this unique type of spatial organization at the Late Bronze Age settlement at Dromolaxia-Vyzakia, as well as to reconstruct the long-term, multiperiod lifecycle of the settlement and its surrounding landscape. The project by the Vrije Universiteit Brussel aims to investigate the site���s hinterland and its relation and position within the broader Tremithos Valley region.

Pp. 110-120:泭���The Trail of Sennacherib���s Siege Camps,��� by Stephen C. Compton

Images of military conquest on Sennacherib���s palace walls often featured his siege camps. By comparing the visual and textual references to these camps with the surroundings of the cities he besieged (on site and via aerial and satellite imagery, archaeological and historical data, and early maps and surveys), likely locations are proposed for Sennacherib���s royal camps. These sites are found to have all had the same name on early maps, Mudawwara, which, in Arabic in the Middle Ages, denoted the enormous tent that housed the sultan on military expeditions. (At times, this name was prefaced with Khirbet al, indicating the ancient stone ruins thereof.) Examining all occurrences of this toponym within Judah and Philistia reveals a distribution consistent with what is known of Sennacherib���s invasion route and of the cities besieged. It also resolves some long-standing questions and contributes to identifying the locations of the cities of Libnah and Nob.

Pp. 122-131:泭���Dawn and Descent: Social Network Analysis and the 17勛圖Family Trees,��� by Diane Harris Cline, Eric H. Cline, and Rachel Hallote

The development of ancient Near Eastern archaeology, especially that of the southern Levant, is usually presented through several standard narratives. For American scholars it frequently begins with William F. Albright, who is often referred to as ���the father of biblical archaeology.嚙�? We undertook to test this narrative by surveying current scholars and using three separate metrics of social network analysis (SNA) on the resulting academic genealogies. Our preliminary results indicate that while a portion of active American archaeologists and biblicists do indeed trace their academic lineage back to Albright, an even larger portion, including Israeli archaeologists and various American Egyptologists and Assyriologists, are scholarly descendants of Albright���s academic cousins, all of whom can trace themselves back to the German Assyriologist Friedrich Delitzsch, who seems to have been the real father of the discipline, genealogically speaking. We also determined that academic lineage does not inhibit intellectual diversification.

Pp. 132-136:泭���Expanding the World of Biblical Studies to Scholars Who Are Blind: Creation and Implementation of a Coptic Braille System,��� by Daniel Charles Smith and Sarah Blake LaRose

Until 2016, braille readers had little or no access to ancient languages beyond Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. Thus access to the study of ancient languages was difficult for blind students who needed braille texts. This article describes the history that led to the development of a braille system to represent the Coptic language. It also discusses the process of implementing the Coptic braille system in the translation of a textbook from print to braille and what was learned from the use of this braille system in the translation process. The information can provide guidance to other universities wishing to ensure access to ancient language texts for students who are blind and possible new directions for the study of this corpus.

A17勛圖75: Amman Theater Statue

Ammonite Iron Age Tower in Jordan

New Annual of 17勛圖Publication

The Amman Theater Statue in its Iron Age Contexts

by泭Joel S. Burnett

A colossal basalt statue was uncovered through rescue excavation in downtown Amman, Jordan in 2010. Despite the statue���s Roman period find context, its form and motifs show it to be an Iron Age sculpture, and geoscientific testing indicates a regional quarry source. Comparison with an established corpus of Iron Age stone sculpture from Amman shows the Amman Theater Statue shares the distinct iconography of a series of Amman male statues portraying deities and human rulers. Broader art-historical comparisons from Egypt, the Levant, and Mesopotamia indicate that the statue dates ca. 850-825 B.C.E., that it belonged to an Ammonite royal ancestor cult, and that in that setting it portrayed a deified, deceased Ammonite king. Archaeological and epigraphic evidence accompanying those broader Near Eastern comparisons, especially those from Syro-Anatolian political capitals from Iron Age II, and archaeological evidence from Amman indicate that the Amman Theater Statue was incorporated into an architectural structure, either a building fa癟ade or monumental gate, on the Amman Citadel (Jabal al-Qal���a), along its southern ascent, or just beyond its southern slope.

Paths to Urban Growth in the Nineveh Plain (PUG), Tepe Gawra and Tell ���Arna/Gogjeli, Iraq (Khaled Abu Jayyab)

[/vc_wp_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_wp_text]

Aerial view of Tepe Gawra.

Paths to Urban Growth in the Nineveh Plain (PUG) explores the origins of early urbanism in Northern Iraq during the 5th and 4th millennia BC through excavations at the sites of Tepe Gawra and Tell ���Arna/Gogjeli. Tepe Gawra has been the hallmark site for the development of complexity during the Ubaid and Late Chalcolithic periods in the ancient Near East. Past excavations at the site revealed a local development of a sophisticated infrastructure manifest in construction of temples, monumental architecture, and elaborate administrative technologies. Due to these features, Tepe Gawra has been characterized as an administrative centre atop of a regional polity. However, recent survey carried out by our team at Tepe Gawra has identified the presence of a lower town, potentially indicative of the presence of domestic occupation. Further, due to the lack of excavated sites of the same time period in the surrounding region, it is difficult to determine if the features identified at Tepe Gawra are unique, or if the features that characterize it are common at other sites in the Nineveh Plain, such as Tell ���Arna/Gogjeli. Excavations at Tell ���Arna/Gogjeli allow us to compare the processes occurring at the two sites, test regional assumptions on the centrality of Tepe Gawra, assess networks of interactions within the region, and build a more complete picture on the process of urban developments in northern Iraq.

A Clash of Kings ��� South-central Anatolian political geography between Phrygia and Assyria, Cappadocia, Turkey (Michele Massa)

Carved depiction of Great King Hartapu, who ruled in the 8th century BCE in the Konya Plain.

Carved depiction of Great King Hartapu, who ruled in the 8th century BCE in the Konya Plain.

This three-year project aims to reconstruct the political geography of the Tabalian confederation, a group of small kingdoms in south-central Anatolia (Tu��rkiye) that existed during the late 9th-early 7th centuries BCE squeezed in between the two major powers of the time, Phrygia and Assyria. While we have extensive written sources (including Assyrian annals and local Luwian monumental inscriptions) and significant archaeological data (excavated and surveyed settlements and forts, landscape monuments) covering this period, very little interdisciplinary research has been done to synthesize them into a coherent picture.

Our goal is to reassess this varied evidence within an integrative analytical environment where we can combine conceptual frameworks and methods stemming from history, philology, landscape archaeology and digital archaeology. We plan in particular to (a) create high-resolution 3D and RTI models of key Luwian inscriptions; which in turn (b) provide improved translations of these monuments, particularly those shedding light on relations between different Tabalian rulers; and (c) integrate textual-borne evidence with a GIS-led analysis of human and natural landscapes to sketch the diachronically changing Tabalian power networks and map them onto real-world geographies.

Cad覺r H繹y羹k Archaeological Excavations,泭Turkey (Sharon Steadman, Jennifer Ross, Burcu Yldr)

Cad覺r H繹y羹k.

Cad覺r H繹y羹k.

C怬ad覺r Ho��yu��k is located on the north central Anatolian plateau. There has been continuous occupation at C怬ad覺r for at least 6,000 years (late 6th millennium BCE to the 13th century CE). Excavations commenced in 1994, continuing to the present time. Steadman is the fourth project director, preceded by Gorny (1994-2009), McMahon (with whom she co-directed, 2010-2019), and S怬erifog��lu (2020-2021). Excavations include (trenches are 10 x 10 m): ten trenches exposing the Chalcolithic occupation (lower S slope); over ten trenches dedicated to Byzantine occupation (summit); six trenches focused on Hittite/Bronze Age occupation (N and E slope); four trenches dedicated to the Iron Age (various areas); previous excavations and a few current trenches having investigated the Classical/Hellenistic periods.

We have a housing/research compound which comfortably houses 30 people. A four room-lab provides ample research area. A newly-built conservation lab is separate. We have a two-room equipment storage facility, and a three-room storage depot for archaeological materials. A guard lives at this compound year-round.

Our senior research team has been with the project for a decade or more. Each year we train undergrad/grad students, from Tu��rkiye and elsewhere, in field and lab methods. We have a strong and inclusive publication history.

Horvat Midras Excavation Project, Israel (Orit Peleg-Barkat, Gregg E. Gardner)

[/vc_wp_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_wp_text]This project aims to enhance our understanding of rural life in the Southern Levant by excavating Horvat Midras, Israel, the site of an ancient village with several phases of occupation over two millennia. We are especially interested in understanding the village���s social and religious character, how it changed, its daily life, and the impact of military conflicts, migration, and resettlement efforts. Located between Jerusalem and the Mediterranean coast, in the Shephelah or Judean Foothills region, Horvat Midras was inhabited by several different groups from the 4th century BCE to 16th century CE, including Idumeans, Jews, Roman polytheists, Byzantine Christians, and Muslims under the Umayyads, Mamluks, and Ottomans. Our initial surveys and excavations suggest that the site was profoundly transformed following the Roman suppression of the Second Jewish Revolt in 132-136 CE, which was followed by Roman resettlement of the village and construction projects that would have an enduring impact. This project began in 2015 with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem���s Institute of Archaeology and since 2018 has been a joint-venture together with the University of British Columbia (Canada).[/vc_wp_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][mk_padding_divider][vc_single_image image=”96589″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][vc_single_image image=”96590″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][mk_divider][vc_wp_text]

Exploring Continuity and Transition in Southern Jordan (Jennifer Ramsay, Bjorn Anderson, Craig Harvey)

The Exploring Continuity and Transition in Southern Jordan (CTSJ) project is a multi-disciplinary group of American and Canadian collaborators that plan to conduct a survey focusing on sites previously identified as having evidence of multiperiod occupation between Petra and Humayma in southern Jordan. The main aim of this survey is to investigate these archaeological sites for signs of continuity or shifts in cultural practices over time, specifically between the Iron Age and the Nabataean period. While several sites in the region have undergone preliminary surveys noting material culture from various periods, only a few have been extensively excavated. Many of the sites identified have very limited information and no chronological verification from excavations. Therefore, our primary interest lies in enhancing our understanding of Nabataean prehistory, particularly regarding cultural activities (ritual, funerary, agriculture, engineering) during the Iron Age and their continuity or transition into the Nabataean period. There is a significance gap in our understanding of this period (approx. 539-300 BCE) in the prehistory of Jordan, which needs to be addressed. A review of published archaeological findings in the area has revealed this gap in our comprehension of this period, which has prompted new research inquiries that can only be addressed initially through a survey of specific sites in the region.

at Motya (Sicily), Italy (Paola Sconzo)

Island of Motya.

Island of Motya.

Since 1977, the University of Palermo has led research at the site of ancient Motya, an island city in western Sicily founded by Phoenician colonists in the 8th century BCE that grew into a strategic Carthaginian center. This project made several noteworthy contributions to the scholarship of the Mediterranean in its early years, including the documentation of a large pottery workshop that features kilns of Levantine tradition and the revelation of the world-renowned ���Youth of Motya��� statue, a mid-5th century BCE masterpiece crafted of Parian marble. After 2013, the Palermo Archaeological Mission has grown to become a multinational project with active collaborations with the University of Pennsylvania and the University of T羹bingen. Current research foci at Motya include the excavation of pre-Phoenician contexts to understand Bronze Age land use and settlement, excavation of Punic monumental buildings and public spaces, excavation of the archaic necropolis coupled with bio-archaeological and genetic research, and extensive geophysical prospection, surface survey, and test excavations to understand the development of Motya���s urban structure and changes in the ethnic identities of its residents over time. These ongoing research efforts are integrated with education including a field school where students from the University of Palermo and elsewhere come together to gain experience in all facets of archaeological fieldwork.

at Sebittu Cluster (Erbil Plain), Iraq (Timothy Matney)

The Sebittu Project is a long-term study of the agrarian economies and environmental impacts of imperial expansion during the Iron Age of Iraqi Kurdistan. Centered on a cluster of seven villages, hamlets, and farmsteads in the Erbil Plain, the Sebittu Project looks at Neo-Assyrian imperial economy through a ���bottom-up��� perspective. The Sebittu Project focuses on the collection and intepretation of paleobotanical, zooarchaeological, and environmental data from primary contexts to address broad research questions regarding models of Assyrian imperial expansion, internal organization of agrarian settlements, regional economies, paleoenvironment conditions, and human impacts on the landscape.
