| SCHOLARSHIP My Fields and I Academic Publications & Lectures I have had the privilege of studying under some of the best scholars to be found in the fields of nautical archaeology and Egyptology and to have been influenced and aided by many more. Although my interests range widely to include sewn boats, the Amarna Period, pharaonic iconography, religion and burial practices, these coalesce on the subject of ancient Egyptian watercraft. I am making a detailed study, an in-depth reexamination, of the evidence for the evolution and use of boats from the Predynastic through Hellenistic times. Some of my findings have been formally presented, others will be forthcoming, and still others are in preparation. Another area of growing interest is Egyptomania, the expression of interest in Egypt in forms other than the scholarly, especially in the visual, performing, and literary arts. I myself engage in this pursuit through fiction. To aid others who share this fascination I have recently founded Egyptomania.org and for the past several years have compiled the Ancient Egypt in Fiction bibliography. My nonfiction has ranged from current issues in education to encyclopedia entries on 18th century warfare. I briefly served as editor for The Artifact, newsletter of the (now disbanded) Institute for Marine Archaeology, and I provide freelance editorial services for grant applications, theses, dissertations, and articles, and editorial aid to graduate students for whom English is their second language. I am also a consulting Egyptologist for educators, fiction authors, role-playing game designers, and others, including television documentaries. I recently advised the BBC for the Egyptian boat segment of What the Ancients Did For Us, which aired in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2005 on BBC TWO. Inquiries are welcome for my services as an Egyptological consultant, editor, or writer. |
