	Egypt Exploration Society - The Society - The History of the Society
		The Egypt Exploration Society was founded in 1882, as the Egypt Exploration Fund in order to explore, survey, and excavate at ancient sites in Egypt and Sudan, and to publish the results of this work.
		In the winter of 1873-74 a redoubtable English lady novelist and travel writer, Miss Amelia Edwards, was driven by wet weather in Europe to the sunnier and warmer climate of Egypt.
		The book became a bestseller, not only for the fascinating view it gave of nineteenth century Egypt but also for its description of the antiquities of the ancient civilisation which were, at that time, largely unexcavated and neglected.

		Egypt was a member of the UN coalition forces that sought an economic embargo against Iraq in 1990 for annexing Kuwait, and its armed forces joined in the military action against Iraq in 1991.

		The EES has been working in Egypt since it was founded by Amelia Edwards in 1882.
		The Society's remit to explore archaeological sites from the Predynastic Period to Late antique times remains largely unchanged; building on Miss Edwards' vision and the legacy of expertise left by so many of the Society's field Directors including Petrie, Griffith, Newberry, Carter, and Emery, the work continues today.

	Swansea University - Research News
		Stefan Halikowski Smith (Dept. of History) is the recipient of a prestigious Centenary Award from the Egypt Exploration Society to visit Matarea, the site of an ancient and famous balsam grove north of Cairo, in December.
		The garden there was purported to have sheltered the Holy Family on its flight from Egypt, but also offered visitors on the longer, complete pilgrimage circuit to the Holy Land a glimpse of the source of production of one of the rarest and most valuable spices known in the West right through the Middle Ages.
		Halikowski Smith’s research is concerned with the interplay between the rare balsam grove and the shrine at Matarea to the Tree of the Virgin which, over the early modern period, was variously presented as a sycamore, a fig and a palm.
