Teaching & Research 2015-2016 Penn Museum-Sponsored Field Projects

Curator, Keeper, & Consulting Scholar Research Projects

Penn Museum-affiliated researchers in 2015–2016 included 51 curators, project managers, and keepers and 162 consulting scholars across 11 curatorial sections and two teaching and research centers, most of them engaged in active field research around the globe. Of the numerous recent and current research projects directed or co-directed by these scholars, the Penn Museum was pleased to support, through the Director’s Field Fund, 16 projects in the United States and 8 other countries, which took place in the fall of 2015 or the winter, spring, or summer of 2016, and are summarized in the pages that follow.

Student Fieldwork

Through these and other projects, the Penn Museum provides opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to gain invaluable experience working as part of a team (often with both international experts and local workers) in the field. A total of 33 students (8 undergraduate and 25 graduate) were team members on six of the Museum-supported projects referenced above and other projects. All told, in 2015–2016, Penn students gained Museum-sponsored experience in the following countries:

Working with Egypt’s Ministry of State for Antiquities, our goal is to return the skeletal remains of king Seneb-Kay to his tomb where it will form an important addition to the accessible monuments at Abydos. Conservation and protection of the tomb of Seneb-Kay is part of a long-range plan in which several of the most signifcant tombs at the site will be opened to visitors, thereby contributing to the long-term protection of the cultural heritage of ancient Abydos.

THE SITUATION IN SYRIA AND IRAQ is beyond tragic. The conflict has resulted in over 450,000 dead and millions of displaced people. Syria’s heritage—its ancient cities, famous archaeological sites, and religious centers—have been substantially damaged or destroyed. Iraq’s historic religious and ethnic plurality is being erased. Shattered cultural landscapes prompt fears that there will be little to return to the day when reconstruction comes. The Safeguarding the Heritage of Syria and Iraq (SHOSI) Project is an intervention intended to address these conditions by supporting Syrians and Iraqis in their efforts to protect cultural heritage in conflict affected areas. The SHOSI Project began in 2013, as the Syrian civil war began to worsen. Alongside the Smithsonian Institution, American Association for the Advancement of Science, International Council of Museums, and other organizations, the Penn Cultural Heritage Center has spearheaded efforts to work directly with Syrian and Iraqi archaeologists, museum professionals, and conservators who are working to protect the endangered sites and collections in their care in often desperate conditions. Despite the difcult circumstances, the SHOSI Project has achieved a number of preservation successes. In Syria, emergency sandbagging at the Ma’arra Museum allowed the mosaic collection to survive two aerial bombing attacks. Emergency site consolidation at the Bronze Age site of Ebla protected ancient architecture from risk of collapse due to extensive site looting. Top Ongoing efforts in the Ancient Cities of Northern The SHOSI Project sponsored emergency efforts to conserve a wall in danger of collapse, Syria World Heritage Site are focused on working seen here, due to conflict-related looting at with communities displaced by the conflict who have ancient Ebla in Syria.

Like many Native American tribal communities, Shasta descendants are keenly interested in the preservation of their language. In prior years, the Wayka Heritage Project hosted a monthly language training program, drawing from the work of linguist Shirley Silver (Sonoma State University), who studied, learned, and spoke Shasta with the last fluent Native speakers in the 1950s and 1960s. Dr. Silver passed away in September 2015, and much of the Wayka Heritage Project’s work this year has focused on archiving her extensive notes on the Shasta language. Additionally, discussions with the tribal elders identifed a number of sites not known widely among the Shasta community.

In fact, the material culture recently excavated is dominated not by pottery and stone tools, but by the large ecofactual assemblage, which resulted from the intensive collection of over 300 soil samples. In contrast, the vast majority of the finds from the early seasons consist of Late Neolithic pottery. Numerous animal bone and chipped and ground stone tools were also recovered. The excellent preservation and massive quantity of the skeletal and seashell remains is taxonomically rich due to the aggressive soil sampling regime employed by the excavation. It includes rarely recovered examples of large fish (e.g. grouper >50 cm in length) and many bird bones, which are critical paleoenvironmental indicators, and a very large amount of unintrusive microfauna (e.g. mice, shrews, and lizards).

The Life and Times of Emma Allison, Lady Engineer (Canada)

Project Director: Louise Krasniewicz, Ph.D., Consulting Scholar, Penn Cultural Heritage Center

IN 1876, AT THE Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia that celebrated the founding of the United States, a young Canadian woman named Emma Allison was hired to operate a steam engine in the frst-of-its-kind Women’s 22 Pavilion. For six months, according to newspaper accounts that appeared throughout the country, Emma was the 23 perfect symbol of the New Woman who would have a significant place in the increasingly industrialized nation. Emma was described as the only woman who had her hands on the growing source of power, the steam engine, which would change industry. She apparently did this in the proper Victorian manner, with a “neat and cleanly appearance” rather than as a “soot-begrimed and oil-covered Amazon.” Sounds like the perfect story for the American birthday celebration, but beneath this seemingly simple tale of one woman’s job is a complex story of ambition, adventure, identity, constructed history, feuding suffragists, early photography, world’s fairs, embezzlement, gold mining, hot air balloons, female journalists, Native American issues, and the wonders of California. While only one version of Emma Allison continues to this day to define that moment in World’s Fair history, the more complex version, found in bits and pieces in archives across the world, provides a better view of the lives of 19th- century women. This year’s research involves a search for Emma’s records in her hometown and in the Canadian government archives to understand how and why she was institutionalized in the Toronto Provincial Lunatic Asylum for “mania” before she came to Philadelphia. As a coverall term for women’s misbehavior, mania was also Emma’s diagnosis at the end of her life when she died in a California asylum after 11 more years of institutionalization. Emma’s life may well be explained by the ways Victorians categorized her and other women as disturbing characters in need of reform and supervision in an asylum.

THE SMITH CREEK ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROJECT (SCAP) completed its second season of excavation during Summer 2016. The project serves both a research purpose, focusing on important social, political, and economic changes that took place within the Native groups in the late prehistoric American South, and as an opportunity for training students in archaeological feld methods. Smith Creek is a Coles Creek and early Plaquemine period (700–1350 CE) site in Wilkinson County, Mississippi. It consists of three earthen mounds surrounding an open plaza. Excavations during 2015 suggested that the mounds were built primarily during the Coles Creek period while the site served as a residential center during the Plaquemine period. This suggests that the site’s history spans the transition from hunter-gatherer subsistence to corn agriculture and from vacant ceremonial centers to semi-hierarchical villages. The data from the 2015 excavations was analyzed in the Penn Department of Anthropology and the Center for the Analysis of Archaeological Materials and led to two honors theses and eight conference presentations during the 2015–2016 school year. In 2016, the SCAP crew excavated on the summit of the largest mound at the site, which measures about 35 feet tall, and in the northeastern corner of the plaza. The mound summit excavations uncovered the penultimate mound surface and showed evidence of large posts being set on this floor. The plaza excavations revealed dense trash deposits containing ceramics, stone tools, and food remains. Under these trash deposits, the excavation exposed a portion of an enormous, circular structure that likely represents Top a ceremonial building.

THE PENN MUSEUM is funded through a variety of sources, including investment income; gifts from individuals, foundations, and corporations; grants; subvention from the University of Pennsylvania; and earned revenue from admissions, catering, and rental fees, artifact loan fees, traveling exhibition fees, publications, and K-12 and public programs. The fluctuation in performance from Fiscal Year 2015 to Fiscal Year 2016 was driven primarily by capital transactions and their associated timing of funding.

This year in particular, we would like to recognize the extraordinary contributions of the members of the Penn Museum Women’s Committee who — since the group was first founded in 1937 — have contributed an astonishing number of hours bringing their initiative and individual talent to found programs across every area of the Museum.

So completely successful have the efforts of this group been in firmly establishing events, programs, and even Museum departments, that during 2015–2016, feeling their mission to be fulfilled, the members decided to cease official operation as a 501(c)(3) organization. We look forward to continuing to welcome them on an individual basis, and express profound appreciation for their collective and individual efforts as unparalleled ambassadors and volunteers for the Penn Museum.
