SATURDAY | SEPTEMBER 14
1:30 – 3:30 PM | NORMA KERSHAW AUDITORIUM | LECTURE

Presented by Emily Smith-Sangster, a Ph.D. Candidate in Egyptian Art and Archaeology at Princeton University.

In early 2023, the Abydos South Project (ASP) began its season working on a plot of land to the local north of the Ahmose Pyramid. This area had been identified as the possible location of the Ahmose Pyramid Town. ASP’s excavations, however, discovered that this area was, in fact, a large elite necropolis used for an exceedingly brief period of time. This lecture will discuss these excavations and resulting discoveries, while also highlighting the impact this discovery will have on our understanding of the Ahmose period at Abydos and beyond.

Sponsored by Bryan Kraemer and Kate Liszka.
