In 2022, the Griffith Institute archive commemorated the anniversary of the rediscovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun with an exhibition at the Bodleian Libraries and an accompanying publication, “Tutankhamun: Excavating the Archive.” The lecture this year will discuss the contemporaneous receptions that influenced the initial planning of the book and the exhibition, through the cultural attitudes expressed in early 20th century popular narratives, and the ways in which the exhibition tried to address these stereotypes in order to showcase the archive as a partial product of its historical context.
The lecture is accessible to the public, and will take place on November 18, 2023 at 2:00pm ET and 9:00pm EET. Register here now.

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
Abstract: This lecture focuses on a central question – how did domesticates alter societies? Responding to this query depends on tracking cultivated species, understanding human-animal-plant partnerships, and clarifying the process by which species were integrated into societies. Here I examine the trajectories of human societies in north-central Asia long after initial domestication to demonstrate the lasting impacts of domestic species. Over time economies shifted from foraging and fishing to the adoption of ruminant livestock and dairying, from horse as food to traction and then riding. As domesticates and new technologies were adopted there were fundamental changes to landscapes, mobilities, and the organization of societies. Through the management of domesticated species, communities built complex societies and expanded long-distance networks, which linked cities and supported Empires.

The HCDG is a network run out of the Cambridge Heritage Research Centre that brings together a large, diverse community of people actively engaging with a vast array of topics surrounding heritage and colonialism. For the upcoming academic year (2023-2024), the HCDG invites proposals for presentations centred around the theme: “It’s Complicated”.
BUT WHAT DOES “COMPLICATED” MEAN?
The term “complicated” has often been used to dismiss or excuse action when heritage matters related to colonialism are discussed. The theme “It’s Complicated” seeks to reclaim the word as a tool for unravelling nuanced colonial issues throughout time and exploring the barriers as well as the potential avenues for engaging with them in the present.
By this call, we encourage submissions from all disciplines and professions that address colonial issues that may be characterised as “complicated” with the view to exploring their complexity.
Potential themes include but are not limited to:
- Museum Studies and Praxis
- Heritage Narratives and Representations
- Institutional Policies and Practice
- Cultural Heritage and the Law
- Heritage Ethics
PRESENTATION AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The HCDG will hold one-hour online sessions from October 2023 – March 2024.
Speakers will have 20-25 minutes to give their presentations, which will then be followed by a moderated 30 minute Q&A session. Participants have the option of having their presentations recorded and published on the HCDG YouTube channel.
To submit a proposal, please send the following to hcdg.universityofcambridge@gmail.com:
- An abstract of maximum 250 words
- A bio of maximum 100 words
Application deadline: 20 AUGUST 2023 (GMT 23:59)
Applicants will be notified about the outcome of their submissions by 31 August 2023.
