The exterior of the Trust’s house in Kensington – Dr Anderson’s former home – was covered with scaffolding for several months over the summer while extensive repairs were carried out to the stonework, window frames, drainage and so on. It now looks as good as new!

Great to see @MaartenPraet - Trust visiting scholar in 2023 (https://t.co/eLamntJbSi) - presenting the results of his research at @CREgyptology as well!

@MaartenPraet presented his work on reconstructing the EEF excavations at Deir el-Bahari, and how locating decorated fragments using archive can help us reassess the site’s purpose.

"I was an EES scholar in 2014. I couldn’t believe it had been 10 years already since I came to London for the first time as a MA student, and I was now doing post-doc research." - Reham Zaky

Robert had worked with Bryan Emery himself at Saqqara in the 1950s and was by this time Honorary Secretary of the EES. The image is part of the collection of the late Martin Davies, the Society’s honorary legal advisor, who was probably the photographer. Thank you Aidan! (2/)

[RobertAndersonTrust @RARCTrust]

A big thank you to Prof Aidan Dodson who recently sent us this wonderful photograph taken in 1972 at the @TheEES’s dig house at Saqqara. It shows (L-R) Aly el-Khouly, an unknown woman (can anyone help?), Prof Harry Smith & the Trust’s Founder, Robert Anderson. (1/) https
