I want to share my enthusiasm after participating in the workshop organized by Stefanie Schmidt, at the University of Basel the past 13-15 December: ConText gathered some twenty scholars in archeology, epigraphy, papyrology and different textual fields to discuss and find a common language in dealing with materials coming from Aswan, Elephantine and the area of the first cataract. Here is the program.
Texts in ostraca, papyri, dipinti and wall inscriptions were discussed together with archeology and artifact studies. This was an enriching and thought provoking conversation. I want to thank Stefanie for such a wonderful initiative, which will no doubt lead to further collaborative work and more interesting meetings.

It was pleasure to see how all of you shared their ideas about the texts you are working on. Your interactiveness and openness to share material and problems made this event a great success and I thank all of your for contributing to this! It would be lovely to continue in this interdisciplinary format and in the coming days I will figure out a way to make this happen. So … Stay tuned 😉
All of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New 2019!
Stef
