    Towards a Better Understanding of Egypt's Amarna: Recent Research and Excavations. Dr. Barry Kemp, Emeritus Professor of Egyptology at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge and Director, since 1977, of the Amarna Project in Egypt, speaks. The last few years at Amarna-the short-lived royal city where Tutankhamun grew up-have seen the completion of the topographic survey of the desert behind the city, the study of material excavated from a group of houses in the main city, and several seasons of excavation at the city's main cemetery, accompanied by a study of the human remains. The material found and the discussions it has given rise to help bring Amarna into a clearer focus. This program is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Research Center (ARCE-PA).
