About
the Egyptian Bead Project (tEBP) aims to combine and share different research projects and Egyptian archaeological bead studies
We offer here a platform for bead researchers to publish their individual research projects, and in the future, more information about the projects will be presented. Below you will find a list of participating scholars. If you wish to receive further material about tEBP, about our publications, or if you wish to participate in any way, please contact us at jolandabos@blikveld.nl or veldmeijer@leatherandshoes.nl.
