Great opening keynote of @eloquentpeasant at the conference on poverty in ancient Egypt and ancient Near East at @oeaw I am especially glad that Egyptologists in Vienna had the opportunity to see how inequality is studied informed by social theory, a great lack in Austria.

Fascinating keynote lecture at @CREgyptology by @eloquentpeasant, with tonnes of food for thought on colonialism, the display and presentation of museum collections, and the visibility of traditionally ignored ancient and modern Egyptians!

It was such a delight to spend the day exploring ancient Cypriot collections @NtlMuseumsScot with @cypriotartleeds! 🏺 For more on Anna’s work with collections from Amathus, see her blog cypriotartleeds.wordpress.com/tag/amathus/

What a wonderful day - huge thanks to @eloquentpeasant for generously showing me the NMS ancient Cypriot collection from Amathus (and many other wonderful objects!). Here’s a detail of decoration on a White Painted jug.
