As part of our Discover Archaeology day, we are delighted to welcome Dr Liam McNamara and Dr Senta German of Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum.
Dr Liam McNamara will speak on ‘Discovering Tutankhamun at the Ashmolean Museum’. Dr McNamara is currently involved in the preparation of this exciting exhibition, set to open this summer. Previously Dr McNamara has worked on several British Museum projects, having been inspired to pursue a career in Egyptology from the young age of 11. He now specialises in the archaeology of the late Predynastic and Early Dynastic periods.
Dr Senta German will speak on the illicit antiquities trade. She is currently working in the Ashmolean as an Andrew W. Mellon Teaching Curator in the University Engagement Programme and has a particular interest in performance, gender and the impacts of the illicit antiquities trade and forgeries in the study of history.
This is set to be a fascinating afternoon of archaeological talks by passionate experts in their fields.
