Emily just attended the World Archaeological Congress at the Dead Sea in Jordan, where she presented a paper on the Taliban and cultural heritage in Afghanistan, and made new archaeological collaborations with colleagues in the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia. Stay tuned for updates on her new archaeological projects in these regions. While in Jordan, the Congress enjoyed a lovely tour of Petra together.

The marvelous tour of Petra included the entire site–somehow the Congress managed to fit in this adventurous fun in between all the stellar sessions and thought provoking papers!

Emily had the wonderful opportunity to visit her colleagues from Brown in front of the “Great Temple” excavated by her former professor Dr. Martha Joukowsky.

The site, of course, feels never-ending, and from the tombs to the theatre, there is no shortage of features and monuments to take in–if you haven’t been to Petra–put it on the list and go!
