A quick resume to give you an idea of where this website has come from. 
I am studying for a PhD at UCL (London, UK). My subject is the origins and development of agriculture in Egypt. My early research into the Faiyum area of Egypt has been captured at www.faiyum.historians.co.uk.  More general information about the Egyptian Predynastic are at www.predynastic.com.

I trained as a prehistorian and worked for several years as an archaeologist, engaged in both research and field (excavation and survey) projects, specialising respectively in the Upper Palaeolithic and Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age in northwest Europe. However, one cold wet cave and unpaid bill too many drove me into the business world where I have been working for the last 15 years in wireless, internet and other interactive projects. 

The Pharaonic period of Egypt has been an interest since childhood and I put this site together while studying for a distance learning course on Egyptology.

If you have any comments or queries, please don’t hesitate to contact me at any time at a.byrnes@ucl.ac.uk

Kind regards
