He is particularly interested in theidentification of ethnicity in the archaeological record and the ethnic dynamics of colonial encounters. The origins of\nthe Napatan state\, whose rulers conquered Egypt\, becoming Pharaohs of the 25th Dynasty\, provides the focus of his\ncurrent archaeological research. He has published on the dynamics of Egyptian imperialism and royal ideology\, the\nuse of sealings in administration\, death and burial in ancient Egypt and Nubia\, and the ethnic\, social and economic\ndynamics of interaction between ancient Egypt and Nubia. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Identity RFG. \njwil 28.x.2011\, hm 10/28 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/identity-commemoration-and-remembrance-funerary-practice-and-contested-identities-in-sudanese-nubia-during-the-time-of-the-kushite-pharaohs-c-750-650-bce/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20111103T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20111103T000000 DTSTAMP:20260427T104803 CREATED:20150928T112834Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112834Z UID:10002012-1320278400-1320278400@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Jerusalem: The Biography DESCRIPTION:Montefiore has written an epic history of the world’s most contested place through the lives of those who created\, destroyed\, conquered\, wrote about–and believed in–the Holy City.\nSee this October 22 review in the Wall Street Journal. \nhm 10/29/11 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/jerusalem-the-biography/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20111103T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20111103T000000 DTSTAMP:20260427T104803 CREATED:20150928T112834Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112834Z UID:10002016-1320278400-1320278400@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Building the City of the Future: ...

How\, by whom\, and for what purpose was this work of art brought to the residence of the Persian king? Moreover\, Roman marble copies testify to a second\, contemporary version of this work\, destined for collocation in one of the centres of Greece. Close analysis allows the conclusion that one replica was erected in Athens and the other brought to Persia as a gift to the Great King on the occasion of the ‘treaty’ of Kallias by which the Persian Wars were concluded. Penelope serves as a mythical example representing the disturbances brought about by continuous far-reaching warfare.\nThis event is sponsored by the Department of Classics\, the UCSB Ancient Mediterranean Studies Program\, and the Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group. \njwil 27.x.2011 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/penelope-in-persepolis-or-the-power-of-images-to-stop-war-with-an-arch-enemy/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20111104T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20111104T000000 DTSTAMP:20260427T104803 CREATED:20150928T112834Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112834Z UID:10002015-1320364800-1320364800@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:The Frontier of Leisure:  Southern California and the Making of Modern America DESCRIPTION:The Frontier of Leisure: Southern California and the Making of Modern America (Oxford 2010)\nwinner of the Spur Prize for Best Western Contemporary Nonfiction Book \nLawrence Culver\nAssociate Professor of History\nUtah State University \nall are welcome \nhm 10/31/11 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/the-frontier-of-leisure-southern-california-and-the-making-of-modern-america/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20111105T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20111105T000000 DTSTAMP:20260427T104803 CREATED:20150928T112832Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112832Z UID:10001763-1320451200-1320451200@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Early California Dance DESCRIPTION:Experience the dances of early California in the historic Presidio Chapel withdancer and teacher Diana Replogle-Purinton.
