Conference: Egypt at its Origins

Egypt at its Origins

Welcome to the website of the Third International Colloquium on Predynastic and Early Dynastic Egypt. This triennial conference draws together an international field of Egyptologists, archaeologists and anthropologists who specialise in the origins and formation of the ancient Egyptian state (c. 4000–2680 BC). The inaugural meeting entitled “Origin of the State: Predynastic and Early Dynastic Egypt” was held in Kraków, Poland, in August 2002. Following the success of the second meeting in Toulouse, France, in September 2005, the third meeting is scheduled for the British Museum, London, from Sunday 27th July to Friday 1st August 2008. This website provides details regarding many aspects of the conference, to which regular updates will be added as the information becomes available.

The first day of the colloquium (Monday 28th July) will be held in conjunction with the British Museum Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan’s one day Annual Egyptological Colloquium 2008
