Dr Linda Hulin and Dr Thais Rocha (University of Oxford and University of São Paulo) in collaboration with the Egypt Exploration Society will host a series of seminars accessible to students, researchers, and interested audiences exploring the experiences of ancient Egyptians in their homeland and in other parts of the Egyptian domain. 


This seminar series explores the experiences of ancient Egyptians in their homeland and in other parts of the Egyptian domain. We will explore the interplay between material culture and different landscapes and socio-cultural settings. The multiple aspects of house experience will be questioned and compared in different parts of the ancient Egyptian world: the Levant, Nubia and the Nile Valley in the New Kingdom.
