The land we know as Egypt has had human inhabitants for millennia. This talk will draw on examples from the time of the hunter-gatherers through the first permanent settlements to the royal cemetery at Abydos.
We will consider nameless individuals of prehistory and those whose burials coincided with, or post-dated, the invention of writing as well as the earliest evidence of mummification.
The talk will include images of both adult and child burials.
