Articles on the history of Qurna:

In 2010 I wrote this article for a book Thebes and Beyond in honour of Dr Kent Weeks produced by the Antiquities Service.
In April 2014 I made a start on oral history collection of people who lived in the saff tombs in Tarif. This is included in a festschrift for Zoltán Fábián that was presented to him in December 2017.
In 2017 I gave a paper at the conference of the Association for the Study of Travel in Egypt and the Near East, ASTENE. This looks at all the shreds of information we have about what was once an important building for the local community. The text is given here, and if you wish to have a copy of the Power Point presentation that went with it you will have to contact me, Caroline Simpson.
In 2017 Maria Correas Amador, from Madrid, and I gave a paper at an earthen buildings conference in Valencia. The printed article could only have a very few photos, but we both gave spoken presentations which were richly illustrated - mine with many photos of Qurnawi houses and other buildings.
In May 2018 I was invited to give a talk at a symposium on 'Community Archives in the Middle East' which was held in Qatar. When I visited Qurna in December 2018 I gave the talk at the Memnon Hotel to many Qurnawi who have worked with me over 25 years so that they would know what I had told the Qatar audience about them.
