About the Speaker
Dr. Jane Roy is currently teaching at the University of British-Columbia.
Abstract
“The A-Group culture of Lower Nubia is often marginalised in discussions about the origins of the Egyptian state. Contact and exchange between the Naqada culture of Egypt and the A-Group are often viewed as one-sided affairs with Egypt dominating its southern neighbour. Yet what exactly did the Egyptians want from Nubia and vice-versa? And was Nubia really the poor cousin or was the relationship more equal and eventually even competitive as sites like Qustul in Lower Nubia might suggest?”
