description: The fourth annual Current Research in Egyptology Symposium (CRE 2003) was held on 18-19 January 2003, at the Institute of Archaeology, UCL, and brought together graduate students of Egyptology from a range of institutions. In total, 27 papers were presented, 13 of which are published here. These illustrate a range of subject areas and approaches; an underlying theme, though, is apparent; a greater degree of reflexivity and a wider engagement with interdisciplinary research.Table of ContentsPrefaceSymposium papers not included in this volumeSymposium Introductory Address ( Professor Harry Smith )A Previously Unpublished Contract of Sale from Memphis ( Maria Cannata )Behind the Corn-Mummies ( Maria Constanza Centrone )The Lisbon Mummy The employment of non-destructive methods in mummy studies ( Alvaro Figueiredo )Plying the Not all plain sailing ( Angus Graham )The Spitting Goddess and the Stony Divinity and flint in Pharaonic Egypt ( Carolyn A.
