The Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World is an interdisciplinary center at Brown University focused on research and teaching of archaeology, with an emphasis on the archaeology and art of the ancient Mediterranean, Egypt, and the Near East.[1][2] Brown's undergraduate and graduate programs in archaeology are organized through the institute.
History
[edit | edit source]The Joukowsky Institute was established in 2004, with an eight–figure gift from Artemis Joukowsky and Martha Sharp Joukowsky. Artemis had previously served as the university's Chancellor while Martha was professor emerita of Old World Archaeology and Art.[3][4]
The Institute continued and expanded the activities of Brown's former Center for Old World Archaeology and Art (COWAA), which Sharp Joukowsky directed until her retirement in 2004.[5] COWAA was founded in 1978 by R. Ross Holloway, professor of classics and Rudolf Winkes, historian of ancient Roman art.[6] Martha Sharp Joukowsky joined the faculty soon after its establishment and expanded the center's scope to include the Middle East.[7][1]
In 2006, Susan E. Alcock began as the institute's inaugural director[8] Peter van Dommelen succeeded Alcock, becoming Director of the Institute in July 2015. The current director, Andrew Scherer, has been Director of the Institute since July 2023.[9]
The institute began in 70 Waterman St, a facility renovated for use with funding from the Joukowskys in 1981.[10] Beginning in 2006, Rhode Island Hall, on Brown's Main Green was extensively renovated for use by the institute.[11] Led by Anmahian Winton Architects, the renovation cost a total of $12 million; the building opened in September 2009.[12][13]
The Joukowsky Institute holds its own collection of several thousand archeological objects, independent from the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology. Among these items are a numismatic collection and materials excavated by Brown archeologists at Petra in Jordan.[14] In November and December 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Institute held a series of online lectures themed around epidemics and pandemics in Antiquity.[15]
Core faculty
[edit | edit source]Andrew Scherer is director of the institute, having succeeded Peter van Dommelen in 2023. The inaugural director of the institute was Susan E. Alcock, who was director from 2006 to 2015. Other notable faculty include James P. Allen, John F. Cherry, Yannis Hamilakis, Johanna Hanink, Susan Ashbrook Harvey, and Stephen D. Houston.
