The Amarna Workmen's Village 1979-86. The village and its surrounds: Excavations, architecture and artefacts

Dr Anna Stevens is the long-term Assistant Director of the Amarna Project (British Mission to Tell el-Amarna, University of Cambridge). She obtained her BA and PhD in Egyptian Archaeology at Monash University, Australia. Her main research interest is the social archaeology of ancient Egypt, and particularly the relationship of people to their urban environments. She has worked on fieldwork projects in Australia, the UK, Sudan and Egypt, but her primary research focus is the site of Amarna. Here, she has directed fieldwork at an outlying workers’ settlement (the Stone Village) and at four large non-elite cemeteries. Her publications include Busy Lives at Amarna: Excavations in the Main City (London, 2010, with B. Kemp) and Akhenaten’s Workers: The Amarna Stone Village Survey, 2005–9 (London, 2012). For the current project, she will oversee a small research team as they record artefacts from the Workmen’s Village stored at Amarna and write-up field records archived in the Amarna Project office in Cairo.
