Stein The academic year 2005/2006 marked a major transition for the Oriental Institute, with the completion of our museum reinstallation and the development of an ambitious new program to reinvigorate the infrastructure that supports the core areas of our research. In February 2006 we opened the last two of the nine galleries that make up the Oriental In- stitute Museum. The Robert F. Picken Family Nubia Gallery is one of only three display spaces in the United States exclusively devoted to the ancient history and material culture of Egypt’s southern neighbor. Geoff Emberling, Steve Harvey, Bruce Williams, and their colleagues on the reinstallation committee did a superb job of presenting the complex history of Nubia in a way that is factually accurate and clearly presented so as to make it accessible and interesting to the general public and scholars alike. They have succeeded brilliantly in the challenge of presenting Nubia as a civilization in its own right, rather than a mere reflection of Egyptian civilization. At the same time the exhibit shows very clearly how Nubia’s relationship with Egypt changed over time. Over the course of three millennia, the two regions traded, fought, conquered, and colonized each other. Thus, for example, New Kingdom Egypt ruled Nubia, but in the first millennium b.c., Nubian kings conquered and ruled Egypt as the Twenty-fifth Dynasty. By exploring both the Joseph and Mary Grimshaw Egyptian Gallery and the Robert F. Picken Family Nubia Gallery, visitors can see for themselves the fascinating similarities and differences between these two civilizations. In tandem with the opening of the Picken Family Nubia Gallery, we also celebrated in Febru- ary 2006 the opening of the Marshall and Doris Holleb Gallery for Special Exhibits with its first exhibit — lost Nubia — featuring a haunting series of historical photographs curated by Orien- tal Institute Archivist John larson from James Breasted’s 1905–1907 expedition to Nubia. The Holleb Special Exhibits Gallery plays an extremely important role for the Oriental Institute

  • Chronology of Illinois History 20,000 B.C.E.-8,000 B.C.E
    CHRONOLOGY OF ILLINOIS HISTORY 20,000 B.C.E.-8,000 B.C.E. — Paleo-Indians migrate into Illinois. They gather wild plants and hunt animals, including the giant bison, wooly mammoth and mastodon. 8,000-1,000 B.C.E. — During the Archaic Period, Illinois inhabitants cultivate plants and create specialized tools for hunting and fishing. 700-1500 — Mississippian Native American culture builds large planned towns with flat- topped temple mounds along rivers. Near present-day Collinsville, 120 mounds are built in a city with a population of more than 20,000. Monks Mound is the largest prehistoric earthen construction in North America. Extraction of salt from Saline County begins. 1655 — The Iroquois invade Illinois and defeat the Illini. Native American wars continue sporadically for 120 years. 1673 — The Illiniwek (tribe of men), a Native American confederation consisting of Cahokias, Kaskaskias, Mitchagamies, Peorias and Tamaroas, encounter French ex plor - ers who refer to the people and country as “Illinois.” Frenchmen Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet descend the Mississippi to Arkansas and return to Lake Michigan by way of the Illinois River. 1680 — La Salle builds Fort Creve coeur on the Illinois River near pres ent Peoria. SEPTEMBER — The Iroquois chase the Illini from Illinois. Twelve hundred Tamaroas are tortured and killed. 1682 — La Salle builds Fort St. Louis on Starved Rock. 1691-92 — Tonti and La Forest build the second Fort St. Louis, better known as Fort Pimitoui, on Lake Peoria. 1696 — Jesuit priest Francois Pinet organizes the Mission of the Guardian Angel, the first permanent place of worship in the pre-Chicago wilderness.

  • Mhairi Gass & Andrew Bleloch
    "If, in some cataclysm, all scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis (or atomic fact; or whatever you wish to call it) that all things are made seeing atoms of atoms." Mhairi Gass & Andrew Bleloch It is not an unreasonable paraphrase of this famous statement by Richard Feynman (1964) to say that "to understand the properties of all material things we need only to know which atoms are where". Electron microscopy is a technique that in the last decade has been able to image and analyse the atomic structure of a range of materials with atom by atom sensitivity and has led to a greater understanding of materials properties, from nanotubes and nanowires through to grain boundaries in metal alloys and ferritin particles in cells. The specimen is a 70 nm thick ultra-microtomed section of lung cell from a mouse. The specimen was osmicated and the section poststained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate. The Z-contrast STEM image shows detailed cross sections of a number of cilia consisting of an outer ring of nine microtubial doublets and two central microtubial doublets. The primary function of cilia is to sweep dirt and mucus out of the lung and they are found in the lining of the trachea. The field of view for the image is 3 microns. 70 Issue 18 JuNe 2010 71 Forty years ago, Albert Crewe (Crewe et al.
