Weseretkau "Mighty of Kas," honours the life and career of Professor Cathleen "Candy" Keller, a truly extraordinary teacher, scholar, Egyptologist, and polymath. The contributors to this volume were Professor Keller's students, friends, and colleagues. Though much of the research presented here centers around the honoree's two primary passions--Egyptian art and the study of the village of Deir el-Medina--the range of topics reflects her broad Egyptological interests, including religious organization, artistic technique, museum collections, textual analyses, historical events, and archaeological studies at sites throughout Egypt.
Deanna Kiser-Go is staff advisor to the graduate program in the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures at University of California, Berkeley. Her research interests broadly include ancient art and artists, Mesopotamian archaeology, and cross-cultural contact in the ancient Mediterranean world.
Carol Redmount is professor of Near Eastern Studies in the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures at University of California, Berkeley. As director of the El-Hibeh Project, her current work focuses on ancient Egyptian urbanism, cultural heritage destruction, and ancient ceramics.
