The Gabii Project is an international archaeological initiative promoted by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology at the University of Michigan. They have been excavating the Latin city of Gabii since 2007 in order to study the formation and growth of a city-state that was, as neighbor and rival to Rome in the first millennium BCE, an important player in early Roman history. Their research tackles big questions about the emergence and evolution of urbanism in ancient Italy: from city planning to social stratification and the definition of elite and non-elite spaces and activities; from the development of monumental civic architecture to the abandonment and repurposing of the cityscape; and much else, through the integration of spatial data, architecture and stratigraphy, and a wide variety of finds spanning from the Early Iron Age to Late Antiquity.
You will learn: The archaeology of Rome and Latium, including guided trips to select sites and museums and off site lectures; excavation and interpretation of ancient Gabii; digital, cutting-edge recording techniques; and scientific processes, including environmental and biological analysis.
What is provided: accommodations in downtown Rome; Insurance, equipment, local transportation, weekday lunches, and select museum fees; 24/7 logistical support; apartments include kitchen facilities, washing machines and wireless internet; and they are willing to facilitate arrangements to help students get credit from their home institutions.
Total cost: $5,990 USD (or $5,600 for returners). International flight not included

The American Research Center in Egypt is hosting their 2024 Annual Meeting, and are welcoming submissions for papers to be presented.
Submissions must be received through ARCE’s All Academic site by December 15, 2023. This earlier submission period allows both organizers and participants to better plan for the continued dual aspect of the Annual Meeting.
Paper presenters must choose between presenting in-person or virtually at the time of submission. Due to the dual nature of the conference, schedule changes cannot be accommodated. In emergency situations, presenters may submit a written request to change their selection by emailing AMHelp@arce.org
Posters, Panels, Best Student Paper, and Poster Competition proposals are only accepted for the in-person component.
Please review our updated submission guidelines and complete your entry via this link.
Submissions can only be accepted from ARCE members in good standing. Please join or renew your membership online or contact us by email.
More information on the 2024 Annual Meeting will be posted on the ARCE website as it become available.
To increase opportunities and access to the ARCE Annual Meeting for students from typically underrepresented groups, ARCE will offer the 2024 ARCE Annual Meeting Grant for Underrepresented Students (ARCE Grant) to a maximum of five (5) eligible undergraduate or graduate students whose studies are related to (or who have an interest in studying) Nile Valley cultures through the disciplines of Egyptology, Nubiology, Africology, Art History, Archaeology, Anthropology, Classical, Coptic, Islamic, Middle East, and African Studies, or other related fields. Awardees will be paired with Ph.D. students or early career scholars who will act as mentors during the Annual Meeting.
Up to five grants will be awarded annually. The ARCE Grant will pay all fees related to (i) Annual Meeting registration; (ii) lodging costs and breakfast at the host hotel for each night of the Annual Meeting; and (iii) transportation costs (up to a maximum of $500) incurred in attending the Annual Meeting.

Patrizia Piacentini, University of Milan “La Statale”
In recent years more than four hundred ancient tombs, dating from the 6th century BCE to the 3rd century CE, have been discovered on the West Bank at Aswan, Egypt, near the Aga Khan mausoleum. A multidisciplinary team, including the Egyptian-Italian Mission, has found more than a hundred individuals along with their funerary equipment. Piacentini will share the first results of this archaeological research, highlighting the multicultural environment of the necropolis and possible diverse geographical origins of the people buried there.
Free and open to the public. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Presented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.
Advance registration required for both in-person and online attendance
