Andreas Dorn

Andreas Dorn is professor of Egyptology at the University of Uppsala (Sweden). He specializes in cultural history, archaeology and architecture. He focuses mainly on the contextualisation of artefacts, including text-bearing objects, in order to investigate micro-historical phenomena. His ongoing research projects include the publication of the burial equipment of king Sety I, the architecture and archaeology of the tomb of Siptah, newly discovered graffiti in the Valley of the Kings and in the nearby desert valleys as well as the publication of hieratic texts from Deir el-Medina with a special focus on the texts linked to Amennakhte, son of Ipuy, whose biography forms part of a long-term project.
