Margaret Benson (1865-1916), the fourth of six children of the archbishop of Canterbury E. W. Benson, was a brilliant scholar at Oxford who found an escape from the conventional life of housekeeping for her father when she travelled to Egypt for her health in 1895. She obtained permission to excavate a site, of which she candidly admits that the authorities had no expectations (or they would not have entrusted it to such inexperienced amateurs). She and her close friend Janet Gourlay (1863-1912), who had briefly studied archaeology under Flinders Petrie, published this account of their discoveries at the temple of Mut at Karnak in 1899. It contains an overview of the site and its context in Egyptian history, with an account of the three seasons of excavation and a section on Egyptian religion. The highly illustrated book concludes with translations of the many inscriptions found in the temple remains.

This book inaugurates a series of volumes that will present the results of more than twenty years of research by a team of American and Yugoslav scholars at Stobi, an ancient city of northern Macedonia. The research was multidisciplinary, and methodological innovations augmented more traditional methodologies of archaeological, historical, and art historical research. The series illuminates numerous aspects of urban life at Stobi, which spanned some nine centuries, from the early Hellenistic period until the end of the sixth century A.D. This first volume of the series is also the first comprehensive study of Hellenistic and Roman pottery in Macedonia. Its detailed presentation of the types and quantities of imported wares and local products together with a series of well-dated contexts documents the economic history of Stobi as well as the broader region of Macedonia. It will interest social and economic historians, as well as archaeologists and pottery specialists.Originally published in 1992.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Even ten noorden van de legendarische Echoput bij Apeldoorn liggen twee grote prehistorische grafheuvels in het bos. Er is ooit wel in gegraven, maar niet door archeologen en met onbekend resultaat. Een ploeg archeologen van de Leidse universiteit onderwerpt in de zomer van 2007 deze monumenten aan een onderzoek. Hoe oud zijn ze, hoe zijn ze opgeworpen, wat zit erin, en wat komen we te weten over de mensen die er begraven liggen?Het verhaal rond de opgraving van de Echoputheuvels wordt verteld door een toevallige bezoeker, die de ontdekkingen van de archeologen spiegelt aan zijn eigen jeugdbel

The monograph evaluates results of the archaeological research of the area of the Fifth-Dynasty Tomb AC 26 (formerly known as Pyramid Lepsius no. 23) and Late Sixth-Dynasty Tombs AC 32 carried out by the Czech Institute of Egyptology during three archaeological seasons from 2006 until 2009. The publication focuses on archaeological contexts dated to the Old Kingdom. Tomb AC 26 is located next to the pyramid complex of Queen Khentkaus II – in the center of the royal necropolis – it thus demonstrates an important position of its tomb owner. It is also one of the most devastated monuments in the Abusir royal necropolis. This fact made the field work and the evaluation of its results rather difficult. Regardless of its large-scaled destruction it was possible to ascribe Tomb AC 26 to “the Eldest son of the King”, Werkaure. Individual chapters of the book deal with the description and evaluation of the architecture of the tombs, finds datable to the Old Kingdom, a large collection of pottery, masons’ inscriptions and signs, archaeobotanical analyses of macroremains from mud bricks and conclusions – concerning especially dating of the Tombs AC 26 and AC 32.

Dans cette nouvelle édition, revue et augmentée du Mégalitisme en Éthiopie. Monuments funéraires protohistoriques du Harar (Museum d'histoire naturelle, 1974), Roger Joussaume étudie les monuments mégalithiques des montagnes du Chercher en Éthiopie. Bien qu'extrêmement répandus, ces derniers restent assez méconnus. Il en existe deux types, que l'auteur étudie sur la base de missions archéologiques menées au début des années 1970: les cistes dolméniques ou daga kofiya, datées du IIe millénaire avant J.-C., et que certains rapprochent de monuments érigés à la même époque au Yémen; les tumulus ou daga tuli, qui ont été construits entre le VIIe et le XIIe siècle et semblent proches des tumulus propres à la culture Shay. S'y ajoutent des hypogées et des tombes en puits, très répandus dans les diverses cultures éthiopiennes, et des sites muraillés situés sur les hauteurs du Chercher qui n'ont quasi jamais donné lieu à des recherches spécifiques. Si de nombreuses interrogations subsistent à propos de ces mégalithes, les recherches de Roger Joussaume permettent de mieux saisir la richesse et la diversité des cultures éthiopiennes. À travers l'étude des différents types de monuments funéraires, c'est tout un ensemble complexe d'échanges de biens, de pratiques, de savoir-faire et de populations que l'auteur met en évidence.
