with Dr. Leslie Anne Warden.
Beer, Bread and Pharaoh’s Power. My guest today is Dr. Leslie Anne Warden, associate professor of art history and archaeology at Roanoke College in Virginia, USA. An insightful scholar, Dr. Warden is here to share her investigations into the world of ancient economics, particularly how beer and bread can reveal the inner-workings of Egyptian society. From ceramics to experiments in brewing, Dr. Warden provides a detailed and thoughtful view on the world of the Nile Valley.

Hi Dan, both audio files have been corrected and should work in the player now. Thanks for notifying!
I enjoyed this episode. Maybe the workers brought their own jars and the beer was measured out and poured into personal jars. May Maat be with you.
