The Fourth British Egyptology Congress (BEC 4) was held in September 2018 at the University of Manchester, allowing scholars from around the world to present their latest research to their peers. Eighty-two papers were presented, including four keynote speeches, covering the full spectrum of Egyptology, archaeology, museology, and the history of travel along the Nile.

The 13 papers included in this volume are representative of the wide variety of research discussed during BEC 4, reflecting ongoing studies of their authors. It is hoped that providing a publication platform through these Proceedings will stimulate further dialogue and investigation.
