Ancient Gaza: Volume 1 Paperback / softback
by William Matthew Flinders Petrie
Part of the Cambridge Library Collection - Egyptology series
Paperback / softback
Description
A pioneering Egyptologist, Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853–1942) excavated over fifty sites and trained a generation of archaeologists.
Now reissued in two volumes are the four excavation reports, published between 1931 and 1934, covering his extensive dig at Tell el-Ajjul in Palestine.
The reports scrupulously record the finds of artefacts dating from the Copper Age and extending to the Hyksos period.
Descriptions of the working party's struggles against malaria and the elements highlight Petrie's devotion to his work.
Volume 1 combines the first two reports, first published in 1931 and 1932, and includes descriptions of various cemeteries, tombs, palaces and horse burials.
Each report features a section of photographs and sketches of tombs, pottery, weapons and jewellery.
Petrie wrote prolifically throughout his long career, and a great many of his Egyptological publications - for both specialists and non-specialists - are also reissued in this series.
