“Egypt, Illinois”
Tuesday, 7 Jan 2020, 8pm, Burns and McDonnell Campus, 9400 Ward Parkway, Kansas City, Missouri
Kansas City Archaeological Society, January meeting
The Southern tip of the state of Illinois has been known as “Egypt” and later “Little Egypt” since at least the 1830s. The regional connection to ancient Egypt and the origin of the moniker is shrouded in mystery. Egyptologist and Southern Illinois native Stacy Davidson will explain possible origins of the association, how the connotation has changed from positive to negative then back to positive over the years, the reception of “Egypt” in the United States in the 19th Century (including the politically and socially tumultuous 1850s), and the legacy of “Egypt” on the ground in Southern Illinois today.
“Ancient Materials, Modern Analysis”
Wednesday, 29 Jan 2020, 6pm, CC 211, JCCC
“Ask an Egyptologist”
Thursday, 6pm, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO

Past International Tours
JCCC Study Trip 2016
JCCC’s study trip to London, Oxford, and Berlin in May-June 2016 is officially open for registration! This will be the first international study trip in the region to focus on ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian objects in European museums. We will also be visiting several organizations dedicated to the research and preservation of Egyptian and Near Eastern sites and artifacts. We have a unique lineup of activities planned including handling sessions with ancient artifacts and guided tours by leading experts in the fields of Egyptology and ancient Near Eastern studies. A detailed listing of sites, museums, organizations, and monuments we will be visiting can be found in brochure below; highlights include the British Museum, the Egypt Exploration Society, the Ashmolean Museum, the Griffith Institute, and Museum Island in Berlin. Although many educational opportunities such as museum and archive tours, artifact handling, and outings have been scheduled, participants will also have time to explore London, Oxford, and Berlin at their leisure. This unique learning experience is open to students, faculty, and staff at JCCC as well as community members (aged 18 and over). You do not have to be an enrolled student at JCCC to join this study trip. The deadline for registration is Nov 15, 2015. Please feel free to contact me for further information.
Brochure _London and Berlin_FINAL
Trip participants have the option of enrolling in a Spring 2016 2-credit course, HIST 291: Egypt and the Ancient Near East. This is an interdisciplinary course on Ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern cultures, religion, history, language, literature, art and architecture. Literary texts, iconographic images, and geography will be studied. Students will also explore the history and layout of the museum collections and archives that will be visited on the study trip. The course is taught by study trip co-leaders, Stacy Davidson and Melanie Hull.
