IN SUMMER 2014, the Naxçıvan Archaeological Project completed its eighth season of excavation and survey. The team is currently investigating the ancient societies that flourished in southwestern Azerbaijan during the 1st millennium BCE, focusing its attention on the relationships between the ruling fortresses and the local communities that dotted the surrounding valleys. This summer, we excavated areas in the lower town and steppe that surrounded the fortress of Oğlanqala, and undertook geophysical and field-walking surveys, in order to delimit the extent and characterize the nature of this settlement. While six seasons of excavations on the citadel mount have yielded much valuable information about the fortress of Oğlanqala, we are just beginning to study the settlement that surrounded it. Surprisingly, excavation revealed intriguing new evidence for the origins of urbanism in this part of the Ancient Near East. We excavated several large burial mounds with large quantities of local and imported goods dating from the very end of the Middle Bronze Age, and an enigmatic ritual installation associated with one of them. These results suggest that this area was already important for religious Above: the beginning RAP collaborated with the Soran Directorate-General, reasons before it become a center of settlement here. of excavations on the road in a small salvage excavation at Banahilk on the outskirts of Above: Rachel Cohen oversees the excavation of grave offerings. cut at Gund-i Topzawa.

PENN MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT 2013–2014 Penn Museum Annual Report 2014/15 THE GIFT OF TIME Penn Museum Volunteers

Our volunteers are active in almost every section and department of the Museum, doing everything from greeting and instructing our tens of thousands of visiting school children and members of the public, to photographing objects for the KE EMu data base, researching NAGPRA issues, organizing Women’s Committee events, working hands-on with objects in storage, creating inventories of collections, and everything in between. During 2013–2014, Penn Museum volunteers gave at least 15,444 hours of their time, which is the equivalent of a $348,250.92 donation to the Museum. On May 12, 2014, the Williams Director and Museum staff celebrated the tireless work of our volunteers at the annual Volunteer Luncheon. Gretchen R. Hall, Ph.D., CGS97 was named 2014 Volunteer of the Year. In 14 years of service to the Museum, Dr. Hall has contributed at least two full days each week, and often more than that as needed. As a Ph.D. working in analytical chemistry at the Mobil Corporation, her “second career in Archaeological Chemistry” has contributed greatly to the Museum’s mission, especially in the Biomolecular Archaeology Laboratory and Program and, more recently, the Conservation Department. She has maintained the laboratory, given lectures, carried out auxiliary studies at the Winterthur Museum, and been a co-author on numerous articles in high-profile scientific journals. She epitomizes the dedication, knowledge, and cooperative, enthusiastic spirit of a true volunteer, who shows no signs of slowing down, and we hope she will stay with us for years to come.

PENN MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT 2013–2014 THE GIFT OF TIME The Women’s Committee

The Women’s Committee has made extraordinary contributions to the Penn Museum for over 75 years. Its members remain among the Museum’s most active volunteers, running several programs including “Meeters and Greeters,” in which members welcome visitors to the galleries, archaeological tours, and special events. In the spring of 2014, the Women’s Committee published a beautiful food book entitled Culinary Expeditions: A Celebration of Food and Culture Inspired by Penn Museum Treasures, the result of a two-year collaboration between Penn Museum staff and Women’s Committee members. This full-color publication includes photographs of food-related Museum artifacts, and sections describing foods, food-making techniques, and stories about the cultures and cultural regions represented in the Museum’s international collection, along with recipes. On May 5, 2014, the Women’s Committee hosted a sold-out book launch and luncheon event at the Museum, which featured lectures from the Museum’s Williams Director, Julian Siggers, Ph.D., and the book’s editor (and the Museum’s Expedition magazine Editor), Jane Hickman, Ph.D., as well as dishes from the book itself. The Women’s Committee and the Penn Museum thank Nancy Freeman Tabas, PAR, who completed her two-year term as Chair of the Women’s Committee in 2014, for her leadership and dedicated service. The Penn Museum also thanks all the members of the Women’s Committee for their untiring efforts to raise friends and funds. Their successful programs and events introduced many new friends, and their contributions supported, among other projects, the Museum’s new partnership with the School District of Philadelphia, Unpacking the Past, and professional development for Penn Museum staff.
