With profound regret, the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World must suspend our search for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Archaeology and the Ancient World.

Archaeology and the Ancient World concentrator and Engaged Scholar Kelley Tackett has been awarded a Fulbright fellowship for 2020-2021.

Effective Wednesday March 18, 2020, until further notice, all doors for Brown University buildings will be locked at all times.

We will make every attempt to consider applications arriving after that date as a result of unforeseen complications from responses to COVID-19, as well.

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak and in keeping with policies set by Brown University's administration, the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World is canceling our public programming and events starting Thursday, March 12, 2020 until further notice.

​Given health and travel concerns and especially the seriousness and volatility of the global public health situation, and closely following news on campus and around the world, there have been many discussions at the Joukowsky Institute about the impact of the coronavirus on travel, on students, and on our upcoming events.

The Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Archaeology and the Ancient World.

The Fall 2019/Winter 2020 issue of Inventory, the newsletter of Brown University’s Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World, is now available online. 

The article in Antiquity, published December 10, 2019, describes a new survey program undertaken by the project team, focused on the Batn el-Hagar in Sudan. The Batn el-Hagar has traditionally been characterized as sparsely occupied during the Middle Kingdom Period, with most activity limited to the Egyptian fortresses along the Second Cataract, but the project's work offers evidence for a more richly occupied landscape.

Congratulations to Professor Hamilakis!
