Abstract

Howard Carter (1874-1939) was an English archaeologist & Egyptologist, now renowned for discovering the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun. Published between 1923 & 1933, this three-volume study contains Carter's detailed account of the sensational discovery, excavation & clearance of Tutankhamun's tomb & its treasures. The tomb was almost fully intact when discovered & remains the most complete burial discovered in the Valley of the Kings. Each volume of Carter's book is richly illustrated with over 100 photographs of the tomb & objects found in it, showing their original state & how they appeared after reconstruction. Carter's meticulous recording & conservation techniques are faithfully documented in his account, providing an engaging description of the work which occurred during the excavation & clearance of this famous site. Volume 1 describes in detail Carter's discovery of the tomb.

Abstract

A pioneering Egyptologist, Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853-1942) excavated over fifty sites and trained a generation of archaeologists. These three illustrated excavation reports, now reissued together, were originally published in 1898, 1901 and 1908 in collaboration with other experts. They focus on the cemeteries at Deshasheh, Abadiyeh and Hu (the latter known also as Diospolis Parva), and Athribis. Light is shed on the major discoveries, such as large quantities of beautifully preserved Neolithic linen, the 'pan graves' of semi-nomadic settlers, and a tomb featuring an early relief of Egyptians besieging a fortified Near Eastern town. Most significantly, these reports reflect Petrie's development of sequence dating, which influenced the use of seriation as a relative dating method in archaeology. Petrie wrote prolifically throughout his long career.
