  • The Future of Egypt's Past: Protecting Ancient Thebes
    The Oregon Archaeological Society and the Oregon Chapter, American Research Center in Egypt present OREGON CHAPTER THE FUTURE OF EGYPT’S PAST: PROTECTING ANCIENT THEBES By Dr Kent R Weeks, Director, The Theban Mapping Project In 1978, the Theban Mapping Project (TMP) was an ambitious plan to record, photograph and map every temple and tomb in the Theban Necropolis (modern Luxor, Egypt) within a few years. However, it took nearly two decades before the enormous task was realized and the Atlas of the Valley of the Kings was published. Dr Weeks has guided the TMP on a sometimes surprising journey. In 1995, an effort to pinpoint where early explorers had noted an “insignificant” tomb led to the re-discovery of KV5. Recognized now as the tomb for sons of Ramesses II, it is the most important find since the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb. Once primarily aimed at treasure, gold, jewels and mummies, today archaeology in the Valley of the Kings targets information, accessibility and protection. The TMP remains relevant, developing an online Egyptian Archaeological Database, a newly upgraded TMP website, and a program of local public education to encourage archaeological awareness, site conservation and site management, as well as continuing work in KV5. Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at 7:30 Empirical Theater at Oregon Museum of Science & Industry 1945 SE Water Ave., Portland Free admission, free parking and open to the public. DR KENT WEEKS has directed the Theban Mapping Project since its inception in 1978. Born in Everett and having grown up in Longview, Washington, he obtained his master’s degree at U of Washington and later, a doctorate from Yale.

  • D'auria on Meltzer, 'In the Days of the Pharaohs: a Look at Ancient Egypt'
    H-AfrTeach D'Auria on Meltzer, 'In the Days of the Pharaohs: A Look at Ancient Egypt' Review published on Saturday, June 1, 2002 Milton Meltzer. In the Days of the Pharaohs: A Look at Ancient Egypt. New York and London: Franklin Watts, 2001. 159 pp. $32.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-531-11791-0. Reviewed by Sue D'Auria (Huntington Museum of Art) Published on H-AfrTeach (June, 2002) In the Days of the Pharaohs is an interesting and well-written and -illustrated volume that seeks to capture ancient Egyptian society for the older student. It is organized thematically, rather than chronologically, into twelve chapters, an approach that is successful for the most part, but does have its drawbacks. The book would have benefited greatly from an early chapter on Egyptian history to provide a contextual setting for the later discussions. Chapter 1, titled "How We Know What We Know," covers the sources used in Egyptological investigation written, archaeological, and art historical. The author also touches on the origins of the ancient Egyptians, a thorny issue from which he does not shy away. He carefully delineates the strengths and limitations of each type of resource, and even discusses minor sources such as the scrap pieces of inscribed stone called ostraca. He mentions the beginnings of mummification in 2600 B.C., a date that may be revised significantly back in the light of recent discoveries in Egypt. Chapter 2, "The Nile," discusses early Egyptian culture, the cycle of the Nile, crops, animals, and taxation. The following chapter, "Pharaohs, Laws, and Government," covers the beginning of the Egyptian state, the division of Egyptian chronology into dynasties, as well as such concepts as the divine kingship and "maat," or order, the maintenance of which was a responsibility of the king.

  • Giza Plateau Mapping Project. Mark Lehner
    GIZA PLATEAU MAPPING PROJECT GIZA PLATEAU MAPPING PROJECT Mark Lehner Ancient Egypt Research Associates (AERA) Season 2017: The Old and the New This year AERA team members busied themselves with the old and very new in research. I had the opportunity to return to some of my earliest work at the Sphinx, thanks to a grant from the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) Antiquities Endowment Fund (AEF) for the Sphinx Digital Database. This project will digitize, conserve, and make available as open source the archive from the 1979–1983 ARCE Sphinx Project, for which Dr. James Allen was project director and I was field director. My work at the Sphinx started three years earlier, in 1977, with Dr. Zahi Hawass, so that makes it exactly forty years ago.1 Search for Khufu We launched a new initiative, directed by Mohsen Kamel and Ali Witsell, to explore the older layers of the Heit el-Ghurab (“Wall of the Crow,” HeG) site. In some areas we have seen an older, different layout below what we have so far mapped, which dates to Khafre and Men- kaure. We believe that the older phase settlement and infrastructure, which was razed and rebuilt, served Khufu’s building of the Great Pyramid. The discovery in 2013, and publication this year, of the Journal of Merer2 piques our interest all the more in the early phase of Heit el-Ghurab. Pierre Tallet and a team from the Sorbonne and the French Institute in Cairo discovered the inscribed papyri at Wadi el-Jarf on the west- ern Red Sea Coast, in a port facility used only in the time of Khufu.

  • Complicity with International Core Crimes and Business Dealings
    Complicity in international criminal law: A fragmented law in need of a new approach By Patrick Lamarre A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Law in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Laws Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2015 Copyright © Patrick Lamarre, 2015 Abstract Since the advent of the concept of complicity in international crimes in the years following the end of World War 2, the international jurisprudence has had difficulties in conclusively establishing the content of this concept. To that effect, the ICTY, ICTR, SCSL, STL, and the ICC’s jurisprudence contain complicated, unresolved issues that need to be addressed in order to safeguard coherence in ICL. An example of the results of these issues is the discrepancy between the outcome in the cases of Charles Taylor and of Momcilo Perisic where, for essentially the same conduct, the former was convicted and sentenced to 50 years in prison while the latter was acquitted of all charges. In the current situation of on-going legitimacy deficit of international criminal law, this problem must be tackled efficiently. To do so, in this paper, I identified the issues of complicity in ICL and tried to find solutions for them through a proposed definition of the concept of complicity which could be incorporated in the statutes of international criminal tribunals or in the international jurisprudence. According to my proposition, an aid, assistance, or support that has a substantial effect on the commission of the crime by the perpetrator given while the accomplice knew or was wilfully blind that the crime was being committed or that the perpetrator wanted to commit the crime and that, in the normal course of events, it was almost inevitable that the crime would be committed would be the new legal standard for complicity in ICL.
