CALGARY SSEA

Lecture: Hill of Bones – The Mortuary Landscape of Kom el-Adhem


Date: 7:30 – 9:00 pm, 02-Oct-2015

Description:

Extraordinary mortuary deposits at Kom el-Adhem in the Egyptian delta represent a vandalized sacred animal necropolis, an unusually complex cemetery of Graeco-Roman date, and evidence for the sudden, violent deaths of men, women, and children. Situated on a geographically significant tributary of the Mendesian branch of the Nile, and close to the mounds of Tell er-Ruba’a (ancient Mendes) and Tell Timai (ancient Thmuis), the site presents a perplexing mosaic of uses. In this illustrated talk, Dr. Nancy Lovell will describe the excavations at Kom el-Adhem and the analyses of human and animal remains.
