Egypt
Research: Pottery chronology methodology applied
The Sentinel Online
Karl Lorenz, professor of sociology and anthropology at Shippensburg University, is spending almost a year doing archaeological work in Cairo, thanks to a Fulbright Scholars Grant.
Seven faculty members have received Fulbright grants during the last 11 years, according to Robert Stephens, SU’s director of international studies and associate professor of management and marketing, and the Fulbright representative on campus. Some received Fulbright grants while working at other universities.
According to Lorenz, the nearly year-long project is the realization of a personal goal.
“The thing that made me want to tackle the study in the first place is (that) I’m an archaeologist and teach a class on Egypt,” Lorenz said by phone from Cairo.
He’s sharing the experience with his wife, Kathleen Cain, and teen-aged triplets. Cain is a professor of developmental psychology at Gettysburg College and is in Cairo on a Fulbright grant of her own, working on a project that involves Egyptian children.
It is a return trip for Lorenz, who last year accompanied his wife to Cairo. Lorenz, who is on sabbatical from SU, said that his research involves applying the same “pottery chronology study” he used during five years of research on Native American mound builders in the Southwest.
