Fwd: A first peek at our 2019 field season

AERA's 2019 season at the Menkaure Valley Temple featured on CNN A CNN crew joined our team in March to document what it was like working on the Menkaure Valley Temple in Giza. This is the first video footage from the western part of the Temple, which until this year had been buried under sand since George Reisner last saw it 100+ years ago. The video documents some of our recent finds, details our approach to archaeological science, and interviews some of the incredible team of people working with us from Egypt and around the world. We are so happy to be able to share this video with our members! CNN's Inside Africa documented our 2019 excavation as part of a program on Egyptian archaeology that also features recent finds at Saqqara and ARCE's field school program. Watch the complete program online on Vimeo. The Fayum Landscape: Ten Thousand Years of Archaeology, Texts, and Traditions in Egypt We are pleased to announce that Dr. Claire Malleson, AERA's Director of Archaeological Science, has published her first book! In addition to her work at Giza, Dr. Malleson has been working in the Fayum for many years and her book focuses on the history of this important region. "Located some one hundred kilometers southwest of Cairo, the Fayum region has long been regarded as unique, often described in terms that conjure up images of an idealized Garden of Eden. In An Egyptian Landscape, Claire Malleson takes a novel approach to the study of the region by exploring the ways in which people have, through millennia, perceived and engaged with the Fayum landscape." The Fayum Landscape: Ten Thousand Years of Archaeology, Texts, and Traditions in Egypt is published by the AUC Press and available on Amazon.
