More than 35 Years in Egyptology: An Interview with Roxana Flammini

Abstract

She needs little introduction: Roxana Flammini has worked for more than 35 years in Egyptology in Argentina and now has just retired from all her research and teaching positions. More than anyone else, Roxana has promoted the field of ancient Near Eastern studies in Argentina and Latin America, founding the CEHAO in 2002 and its flagship journal Antiguo Oriente a year later. Her retirement and recent publication of the book La Segunda Estela de Kamose: Un estudio integral en contexto in the Ancient Near East Monograph series is a perfect occasion for interviewing Roxana on the history of her research and the current state of the field.
