The Yarra Junction Library is hosting an interesting event exploring Egyptology with archaeologist Karen Thomas on Thursday 2 May at 2pm.
In Egyptology and other archaeology, digs are a lot of hard work and not always a lot of return, but to those like Karen Thomas involved in a dig, it’s unbelievably rewarding. They aren’t digging for ‘treasure’ of the shiny kind (though that would be nice) but for any artifacts that tell us about the daily life of the wealthy and poorer inhabitants of the area.
Join Karen as she talks about what actually happens at a dig, find out about the tools and equipment that are used, the sorts of things that are found and what happens to them.
Please reserve your place at this event by calling 03 9800 6462 or booking online at events.yourlibrary.com.au/.
