IIRC, Peters has her degree in Egyptology from the U of C and worked at the

papers on the bakery excavation or experiment. While the National
Geographic article provided a lot of details, the papers for the
professional journals tend to be more thorough and may provide professional
insights considered to boring for popular reporting.
