In one post, Student Internships on the ‘Forging Antiquity’ Project, Malcolm Choat reports that four research internships associated with the project are being awarded at Macquarie University, and a fifth associated with the "“Ancient Egyptian papyri" ARC project.
The second is a report by 2018 student intern Mark Matic on his work: My Internship on the Forging Antiquity Project for 2018.
By the end of the internship, research assistant Vanessa Mawby and I had collected data for 180 forgeries. Among these were compositions and copied texts written on a variety of materials in Greek, Demotic, Hieratic and Coptic.The project included work on a fake biblical manuscript made by the notorious nineteenth-century forger Constantine Simonides. More on him here and links.
