This important event welcomed almost 200 participants from around the globe, with a full programme of 115 paper presentations alongside 17 poster presentations, highlighting recent research and results by early career researchers in Egyptology and related fields. The present volume gathers 23 selected papers from the conference, reflecting the breadth of new work, methods, and perspectives presented at the meeting. Individual papers include discussion of material culture, society, religion, reception studies, findings from archaeological excavations, and methodological issues, bringing together a wide range of recent research in Predynastic, Pharaonic, and Graeco-Roman Egyptology.
