In the footsteps of Schiaparelli. The Museo Egizio’s current work at Deir el-Medina.

Between 1905 and 1909, the Museo Egizio under the direction of Ernesto Schiaparelli excavated the site of Deir el-Medina during three seasons. Some 115 years later, now as part of the IFAO's French archaeological mission to Deir El-Medina, the museum is conducting research on a number of Ramesside tombs located in the Western Necropolis. These tombs have been chosen based on the many artifacts that belonged to the owners of these tombs and that are housed in the museum. In addition to providing an opportunity to perform a study of these fragile structures using new technologies, this fieldwork is a unique opportunity to recontextualize many objects in the museum's collection by shedding a new and fresh light on them. This talk will provide an opportunity to take a deeper look at this work in progress.

Cédric Gobeil is a Canadian and French Egyptologist born in Quebec City, Canada, specializing in archaeology of daily life and New Kingdom material culture, with a primary focus on Deir el-Medina, topics for which he is carrying annual fieldwork in Egypt and Sudan. He is currently the Director of the archaeological mission of Coptos, and the Project leader of the Museo Egizio's mission at Deir el-Medina. After having obtained his PhD in Université Paris IV-Sorbonne, France, he worked in Cairo as archaeologist for the Institut français d’archéologie orientale du Caire and in London as Director of the Egypt Exploration Society before being appointed curator at the Museo Egizio in Turin in 2019. In addition to his curatorial duties, he is also adjunct professor in the History Department at the Université du Québec à Montréal and research associate at the HiSoMA Research Unit in Lyon (CNRS – France).
