Dr Joanne Rowland, Edinburgh University
1st Lecture
Revisiting the Naqada region in the 21st century: approaches, results and experiences on the Naqada Regional Archaeological Survey and Site Management Project.
This talk will give an insight into various aspects of this project that started back in 2018 under the direction of G. J. Tassie. Topics include the team’s work on site management, conservation, training, and some preliminary results of excavations and survey at ancient Nubt and in the surrounding area.
2nd Lecture
The creatures and features of Djed-hor: contextualising the results of investigations into Djed-Hor’s ‘falcon’ necropolis at Quesna.
This talk will bring various sources of evidence together, including zoo-archaeological analysis, the structure of the necropolis itself, and recently translated seal impressions, to consider how we can reconstruct activities, the personnel required, the treatment of creatures in life and death, and the deposition and sealing of the galleries.
Dr Joanne Rowland has been conducting research on prehistoric and early historic society in Egypt for over 25 years, including through fieldwork, recently directing a project at Palaeolithic and Neolithic Merimde Beni Salama (2013-2024) in the western Delta. She took up the direction of the Naqada Regional Archaeological Survey and Site Management Project in 2024 and we will hear more about the prehistoric evidence in the region in her talk. Jo directed a survey project in Minufiyeh Province in the south-central Delta from 2005-2023, which initiated new excavations at Quesna focussing on Ptolemaic-Roman as well as surprising new evidence for the Old Kingdom. She is also engaged in research into the relationship between prehistoric sites and archaeologists from Quft. Currently, she is a Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh, and Chair of the Friends of the Petrie Museum. Previously, she was a Junior-Professor in Egyptian Archaeology at the Free University Berlin, as well as holding postdoctoral positions in Brussels (Royal Museums of Arts and History) and the University of Oxford.
