Collections responsible for:

Africa and South America Collections (until October 2010)

Coins, Medals, and Tokens.

Specialist interests:

I am primarily interested in how the ancient Egyptians conducted and conceptualised sacred and secular ritual, particularly in relation to the relationship between ritual and social status. Additionally, I research ancient Egyptian contact with the Near East with a particular emphasis on how the ancient Egyptians represented foreigners, foreign places and foreign things.

Current research projects:

I am currently working on the publication of my research on ancient Egyptian ritual. I have worked on archaeological excavations in Canada, Israel, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt. Most recently I have participated in the University of Pennsylvania expedition to South Abydos, Egypt and the University of Pennsylvania/University of Liverpool expedition to Khirbat al-Mudaynat al-`Aliya, Jordan.
