Another Brick in the Wall
Preparations have begun for our upcoming 2018-19 season at Deir el-Ballas.
Debating Deir el-Ballas
The site of Deir el-Ballas is of great importance in our understanding of the history and archaeology of the Second Intermediate Period.
Drawing Deir el-Ballas
In order to prepare Reisner’s excavations at Deir el-Ballas for publication I was joined by Bettina Bader and Christian Knoblauch of the Austrian Academy of Sciences project: Beyond Politics: Material Culture in Second Intermediate Period Egypt and Nubia, START-Projekt Y 754-G19 funded by the Austrian Science, and by Niv Allon of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to study and record the material from Reisner’s work in Berkeley.
Back to Ballas
From January 11 to January 24, 2017, the Ancient Egyptian Heritage and Archaeology Fund conducted our first, short initial season of survey and recording at the Site of Deir el-Ballas.
