Reisner at Jebel Barkal

The directed by Dr. Geoff Emberling investigates the royal聽Egyptian–Nubian site of Jebel Barkal 鈥� a central religious locality that emphasized the omnipresence of聽Amun, linking Egyptian and Nubian ideological thought in one dedicated area. The site was occupied first聽by Egypt in the New Kingdom and was established as the 鈥渃ultic duplicate鈥� of Luxor in Nubia (Kendall,聽2010). It had since been ruled by various Egyptian and Napatan kings, who also contributed to the聽Temple of Amun and administrative buildings up until the Meroitic period. Prior to Dr. Emberling, and聽Dr. Timothy Kendall, Dr. George A. Reisner excavated the site and did not publish his findings in an聽official site report. Recordings of his work from between 1916 and 1920, sponsored by theMuseum of聽Fine Arts, Boston where he served as Curator of Egyptian Art, as well as Harvard University, have since聽been transcribed (unpublished) by Dr. Emberling and Nami Kaneko. Dows Dunham, who became Curator聽Egyptian Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston after Reisner, has also published a series of 5 volumes聽covering the excavation of royal Kushite cemeteries upon which they worked together. Much of the聽information on the objects discovered at these sites, including photography, contextual findspot, and聽provenance, are accessible on the richly comprehensive Museum of Fine Arts, Boston website.
The section of the project that I oversaw as an archival researcher involved reading through the聽transcription from his archaeological excavations at Jebel Barkal and Nuri between 1919 and 1920. 罢丑别听purpose of this research was to locate, organize, and import the information recorded in the field diaries聽into an online metadatabase titled Omeka. Omeka organizes the metadata into a searchable website聽which aids scholars and researchers to easily search interrelated individuals, terms, materials, and聽buildings that relate to the site of Jebel Barkal which have not been previously organized or transcribed.[/vc_wp_text][vc_single_image image=”80902″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][mk_padding_divider][vc_single_image image=”80903″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][mk_padding_divider][vc_single_image image=”80900″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][mk_padding_divider][vc_wp_text]The process of learning Omeka was a fantastic experience which challenged and heightened my knowledge of online data processing on a parallel level, in addition to building expertise in curating the site for both the specialized and general public. Led by the Information Technology team at the University of Michigan, Joe Bauer and Matthew Carruthers, once the data from the transcription is organized by the desirable entry format was decided, it was imported and organized according to Omeka translation. The process is ongoing. This was a seamless experience which contributed to what will become a valuable resource for current and future archaeology at the site.
Annissa is a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto and the Bard Graduate Center/Brooklyn Museum Postdoctoral Fellow in the Arts of Africa. Her doctoral thesis investigates the ceramic production and trade industry during Meroitic Nubia and its potential far-reaching networks linking the Nile Valley to Iron Age West African cultures.[/vc_wp_text][mk_divider][vc_wp_text]
During the summer of 2021, 麻豆直播 supported 27 undergraduate and graduate students through the Summer Stipend Program. These students undertook non-fieldwork archaeological research projects led by 麻豆直播-affiliated project directors. They also took part in monthly cohort group meetings hosted via zoom. Read a summary of聽these cohort meetings here.
Stay tuned for more updates from the 2021 Summer Stipend recipients!
