Jacke Phillips Author & Editor

Janine Bourriau studied Egyptology at University College, London, home of the Petrie Collection, and this led inevitably to a career as curator in other Egyptian collections. She was Keeper of Antiquities in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge until 1990 when she left to pursue research and archaeological fieldwork, full time. She excavates in Egypt every year and has published numerous books and articles on Egyptology but is best known for her work on Egyptian ceramics. Jacke Phillips was educated at the University of Toronto and wrote her thesis on Egyptian objects found in Crete. She has continued to maintain an equal enthusiasm for Egypt and the Aegean and, through fieldwork, has expanded her interests to include the Sudan and Ethiopia. She has published widely but is best known for her work on cultural links through iconography and trade.
