Professor Jamie Woodward awarded Leverhulme Trust grant in collaboration with the British Museum
Professor Jamie Woodward, in collaboration with key researchers from the British Museum, has been awarded a three-year Leverhulme Trust grant for a project that aims to investigate the lived experience of individuals that inhabited Upper Nubia (modern northern Sudan) in the late second millennium BC, particularly with regard to their health, diet and social practises relating to food. The project aims to investigate the nature of daily life in a colonial town, for both Egyptians and Numbians ('conqueror' and 'conquered'), particularly aspects of health and diet, and to identify whether the lived experience of individuals was significantly modified by the collapse of Egyptian control, and subsequent climate change.
