Dr. Anna Stevens is a Senior Lecturer in Archaeology and Ancient History at Monash University and an Honorary Research Associate at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge. She serves as Assistant Director of the Amarna Project, leading fieldwork at Akhetaten (modern Amarna), the Bronze Age city built by Pharaoh Akhenaten. Her work is conducted with permission from the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. Stevens specializes in ancient Egyptian archaeology with a focus on urbanism, lived religion, and cultural interaction in the ancient world. Her research particularly examines how material culture and urban space illuminate the lives of non-elite populations in ancient Egypt. She has conducted fieldwork in Egypt, Sudan, the UK, and Australia, with Amarna serving as her primary research site. Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on cemetery studies at Amarna, examining burial practices, health patterns, and urban context. The research reveals significant insights about non-elite populations during Akhenaten's reign, including dietary deficiencies, heavy labor burdens, and pathogen loads that indicate challenging living conditions. Her work bridges Egyptology with broader social sciences through her editorial role for the book series 'Ancient Egypt in Context' published by Cambridge University Press. Stevens co-directs the Amarna Cemetery Project with Dr. Gretchen Dabbs, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, British Academy, and Egypt Exploration Society. She also leads 'Akhenaten's City: Protecting Amarna's Urban Heritage' (2023-2026), supported by the American Research Center in Egypt's Antiquities Endowment Fund. She serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology and accepts PhD students at Monash University. Her fieldwork program at Amarna integrates archaeology and bioarchaeology to investigate health in ancient urban centers, non-elite funerary practices, and life under Akhenaten. This multidisciplinary approach has produced significant findings, including the discovery of a mature ovarian teratoma from New Kingdom Amarna, published in the International Journal of Paleopathology.

Dr. Emma Pomeroy is an Associate Professor in the Evolution of Health, Diet and Disease at the University of Cambridge's Department of Archaeology. She is an active researcher with expertise spanning anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology, and paleoanthropology. Her work combines human bioarchaeology with human biology and paleoanthropology, conducting research across South America, South Asia, Europe, and the Near East. Dr. Pomeroy's research focuses on understanding how past and present variation in human health, growth, and morphology is influenced by evolutionary processes including adaptation, neutral variation, and plasticity, as well as interactions with natural and social environments. Her specific interests in reproduction include the evolution and adaptation of the human pelvis, impacts of evolutionary and environmental factors on pelvic morphology and birth complications, and how early life conditions affect later growth and health which may influence birth complication risks. A significant portion of her recent work has investigated the evolutionary origins of low lean tissue mass among contemporary South Asians, which is implicated in elevated risk of type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases. Dr. Pomeroy leads important archaeological projects including serving as the paleoanthropologist at renewed excavations at Shanidar Cave in Iraqi Kurdistan since 2016, where her team has made significant new Neanderthal discoveries. She also co-directs the Old St Bernard's Hospital Project in Gibraltar with Dr. Kevin Lane and Professor Clive Finlayson, investigating health, diet, and migration among skeletons from a 16th-17th century mariner's hospital. Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on human skeletal variation, Neanderthal studies, human adaptation, and the developmental origins of health and disease. Her work spans multiple geographical regions including the Americas, Europe, Mesopotamia and the Near East, and South Asia, examining periods from the Paleolithic through to contemporary populations. Dr. Pomeroy contributes to interdisciplinary research networks including Cambridge Reproduction, where she investigates the evolutionary aspects of human reproduction. Her methodological approaches integrate skeletal biology, archaeological science, and evolutionary theory to address fundamental questions about human variation and adaptation.
