Summary

The fourth annual Current Research in Egyptology Symposium (CRE 2003) was held on 18--19 January 2003, at the Institute of Archaeology, UCL, and brought together graduate students of Egyptology form a range of institutions. In total, 27 papers were presented, 13 of which are published here. These illustrate a range of subject areas and approaches, an underlying theme, though, is apparent: a greater degree of reflexivity and a wider engagement with interdisciplinary research.
