Flash Talk | What is Kawara and Why Was It Important in Human Subsistence in Ancient Egypt?

In science and archaeology, we make assumptions to help us begin to interpret the scattered evidence of the past. But re-examining these assumptions can often reveal something new. In this talk, Richard Redding discusses how, in re-examining his own assumptions, he uncovered new insights into the diet of laborers at Giza in ancient Egypt.

Kelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators, staff members, researchers, and graduate students talking about their recent research or current projects. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors. They take place at noon on the first Friday of every month.
