Martin Odler – Egyptologist and postdoctoral researcher at Newcastle University

Starting at 4:15pm

Dr Martin Odler is currently working on a project called EgypToolWear – Metalwork Analysis of Ancient Egyptian Tools. This is a groundbreaking analysis of the function and uses of metal craft tools from late Chalcolithic and Bronze Age Egypt (c 3500-1070 BC). It is hoped that it will further understanding of how copper-alloy tools were used in early Egypt, for what crafts, and with what bodily gestures and engagements.

He has also worked for more than 10 years at the site of Abusir in Egypt as an archaeologist and surveyor. In Prague, he has studied, besides Egyptology, Prehistoric and Early Mediaeval Archaeology, and Classical Archaeology
