A note
This is a one-person editorial project. There is no team, no office, no advertising department. Letters are read in the order they arrive. Substantive corrections (matters of fact, dates, attributions) are read first; encouragement and disagreement are read at the weekend, with coffee. There is no charge for any of this, and nothing is for sale.
What you can write about
- Corrections to anything in the field reports — names, dates, attributions, references.
- Reading suggestions — books, papers, archives I should know about.
- Letters about your own visits to the museum, if you have something to add.
- Questions about a specific room, object, or essay — I answer what I can.
What I cannot help with
- Travel arrangements, opening hours, or any practical visit details — those belong elsewhere.
- Attribution or authentication of objects, antiquities, or images — the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities handles those.
- Press enquiries that ask for a verdict or a soundbite — the field reports are the verdict.
