Description:
The Radford University Department of Anthropological Sciences presents the talk "100 Years of 'Wonderful Things': Tutankhamun Past and Present" on Wednesday, November 9, 2022 in room M73 located within the Center for the Sciences on the campus of Radford University.

Enjoy a night of all things King Tut! Egyptologist Dr. Leslie Warden will provide a public lecture on the 100 year anniversary of the modern discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb.

Dr. Warden is professor of art history at Roanoke College in Virginia. Dr. Warden's research focuses on social reconstruction of the Egyptian Old through Middle Kingdoms (ca. 2600-1650 BC) commonly known as "The Pyramid Age." Her primary area of focus is archaeological ceramics analysis. Her research focuses on two ceramic forms dominant in the Old Kingdom, beer jars and bread moulds. She has used these forms to help define the functioning of the Egyptian non-monetary economy, an economy literally run on bread and beer, outside of the royal house.

Additionally, she has been a member of the North Kharga Oasis Survey (NKOS) since 2001, working with pharaonic and Roman archaeology in the Egyptian oases. She is currently the project's head ceramicist. She is broadly interested in Egyptian ceramics, the relationship of the Egyptian provinces to the capital, and non-elite material culture.

Admission is free and all are welcome.
