Death on the Nile

This Project was established in 2007, when Sofía Torallas Tovar (ILC, CCHS-CSIC) and François Gaudard (Oriental Institute, Chicago) decided to join efforts in the study of mummy labels, a source material that requires linguistic expertise in both Greek and Demotic. They were soon joined by Raquel Martín Hernández, and began to "feed" a first draft of the database. The Project received added impetus when the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (now Economy and Competitivity) awarded Sofía Torallas a three-year grant (2012-2014)
