IoA involvement:
Cary’s main research project is the publication of the demotic papyri from Saqqara, found during the 1960s–1970s Egypt Exploration Society excavations directed by UCL Professors Walter Emery, Harry Smith and Geoffrey Martin, among the most important groups of ancient papyri found in the last 60 years.
His expertise in demotic script and 1st mill BC-AD Egypt complements that of IoA Egyptian Archaeology staff, Stephen Quirke and Claudia Naeser. He contributes to BA/MA teaching on a regular basis (ARCL0202 Language and script in the archaeology of Egypt and Sudan, ARCL0020 Archaeology of ancient Egypt, ARCL0147 Themes and debates in Egyptian archaeology) and supports BA/MA/PhD theses.
