Dear Friends of ARCE-PA,
The Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Research Center in Egypt proudly presents:
"Towards a Better Understanding of Amarna: Recent Research in the City and its Main Cemetery"
DR. BARRY KEMP
University of Cambridge
Saturday, November 6, 2010
3:30 PM
Rainey Auditorium
University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology

The last few years at Amarna have seen the completion of the topographic survey
of the desert behind the city, the study of material excavated from a group of
houses in the main city, and several seasons of excavation at the city's main
cemetery, accompanied by a study of the human remains. The material found and
the discussions it has given rise to help bring Amarna into a clearer focus.
Professor Barry Kemp is Emeritus Professor of Egyptology at the McDonald
Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge. He has been
Field Director at Tell el-Amarna since 1977, pioneering excavations formerly
for the Egypt Exploration Society, and now as The Amarna Project supported by
the Amarna Trust. His important publications include “Amarna Reports, I-VI”
(EES, 1984-95) and “Ancient Egypt: Anatomy of a Civilisation” (Routledge, 2nd
ed., 2006).
$5 general admission, $3 Penn Museum members/students, FREE to ARCE-PA members.
We look forward to seeing you on the 6th!
Sincerely,
