His fieldwork includes Tell el-Amarna and quarrying / mining sites from the Early Dynastic period through to Roman times. Since 2005 he has undertaken work on a new multi-disciplinary survey of Medinet el-Ghurob, established by Thutmosis III as a royal harim, in the Faiyum. Dr Shaw has also surveyed and excavated at the tomb-site of Ankhtify at el-Moalla.

Dr Cornelius von Pilgrim, Director of the Swiss Institute of Architectural and Archaeological Research on Ancient Egypt, Cairo, leads the Swiss archaeological project in Elephantine. Since 2000, in collaboration with the Supreme Council of Antquities, he has excavated in ancient Syene, buried under the modern city of Aswan. His main publication is Elephantine. XVIII. Untersuchungen in der Stadt des MittlerenReiches und der ZweitenZwischenzeit, Mainz 1996 ("Elephantine XVIII: Studies in the city of the FIP and the MK") and he has co-authored many publications on Elephantine and Syene (Old Aswan).

This year the conference price will include morning tea, a light lunch and afternoon tea.  As this is a catered function, tickets will be pre-sold and will not be held at the door unless they are already paid for. Only if the event is not sold out, will there be tickets for sale at the door.
