Steven Harvey to Discuss Archaeology From Egypt to the East End

“Archaeology From Egypt to Your Own Backyard,” a talk by Stephen Harvey, an Egyptologist and director of the Ahmose and Tetisheri Project at Abydos, Egypt, will take place Sunday at 4 p.m. in the Havens Barn at the Shelter Island Historical Society.

Dr. Harvey will discuss his current investigation of the last pyramids built by Egyptian royalty, at the ancient site of Abydos, as well as his discoveries from his own Shelter Island backyard — pottery, glass, and other items related to the 18th and 19th-century lives of Samuel Havens and his descendants. Tickets are $8.
