This talk will outline results of the past 10 years of work at two sites: the royal pyramid cemetery of the kings and queens of ancient Kush at El-Kurru and an investigation at the city of Jebel Barkal, including discovery of an unknown area of the ancient town. Geoff Emberling is an archaeologist and museum curator specializing in the ancient cultures of the Middle East and Northeast Africa. Based in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology at the University of Michigan, his current archaeological and heritage projects focus on the heartland of ancient Kush sometimes also known as Nubia. His work has recently been featured in documentaries produced by National Geographic and others.
