From Monday to Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
On Tuesday 14th May 2024, at 6.00 pm, we will host the lecture held by Cédric Gobeil, curator of the Museo Egizio.
Continuously, work carried in Deir el-Medina, as well as studies made on the artifacts coming from the site, lead to new discoveries. As it would be virtually impossible to detail them all in a single lecture, the news from the Place-of-Truth will highlight three main topics that are currently being worked on by the Museo Egizio. Beginning with an update from the last field mission carried in the tomb of the guardian Khawy (TT 214), we will then continue with a reassessment on one of the votive chapels, using new technology, a methodology that is also a central element of the final topic, which will shed light on a promising discovery from our museum’s collection.
Cédric Gobeil is an Egyptologist born in Quebec City (Canada), specializing in archaeology of daily life and New Kingdom material culture, with a primary focus on Deir el-Medina, topics for which he is carrying annual fieldwork in Egypt and Sudan. After having obtained his PhD in France (Université Paris IV-Sorbonne), he worked in Egypt for the Institut français d’archéologie orientale du Caire and in the United Kingdom for the Egypt Exploration Society, before being appointed curator at the Museo Egizio in 2019. In addition to his curatorial duties, he is also adjunct professor in the History Department at the Université du Québec à Montréal and research associate at the HiSoMA Research Unit in Lyon (CNRS).
The event will be held in English.
