Description:

The tomb of Menna (TT 69), one of the finest painted tombs in Egypt, underwent extensive non-invasive analysis and documentation from 2007-2010 in a joint ARCE-Georgia State University-USAID/ARCE project. This talk will focus on the different methods used and their results. The findings from Menna give important information about the tomb owner and the time in which he lived as well as artistic methods, work process, and the status circulation of materials.

This free lecture is held at the Oriental Institute, LaSalle Bank Room. 1155 East 58th Street, Chicago, 60637.
