The #Amheida Excavations mourns the passing of our beloved colleague, mentor, and friend Raffaella Cribiore. She brought the poetry on our walls to life. She will be sorely missed. Ave atque vale. @isawnyu @nyuclassics

We got (most of) the band back together in Rome this past May! Engaging discussions, great people, lots of ideas for the future. New ideas take people to put into action, so reach out if you are looking to invest in your next big project. #amheida2024 @isawnyu @WUSTLAnthro

Off to @ARCENational to close the #amheida2023 season and work on our permit for #amheida2024 … but before that, the first cappuccino of 2023 in Zamalek. It was worth the wait! From the picture it is clear that I failed the marshmallow test … en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan… @isawnyu

And then, there were none. The #smheida2023 season is done but not quite in the books. We have several weeks of data entry and months of analysis to do; but planning for #amheida2024 begins … in Cairo in 9 hrs. The day is young, at 4am! Thanks to all! العام القادم! @isawnyu
