Qasr Ibrim : The Ottoman Period Paperback / softback

Edited by John Alexander, John Alexander, Nettie K. Adams, Nettie K. Adams, William Y. Adams, William Y. Adams

Part of the Excavation Memoirs series

Paperback / softback

Description

This volume completes the documentation of excavations at the Nubian site of Qasr Ibrim conducted by the Egypt Exploration Society, continuing the tradition of documenting the history and archaeology of the site phase-by-phase.

Previous monographs dealt with the Ballaña phase (c.

AD 350–600), the earlier (c. 600–1172) and the later medieval period (c. 1172–1500). The present work carries the story forward to the final abandonment of the site in AD 1812, the period when Lower Nubia was annexed to the Ottoman Empire, and an Ottoman garrison was installed at Qasr Ibrim.

Part I deals with the historical record of the site, based on archival sources, Part II presents the archaeological evidence, followed in Part III by brief summaries on the Ottoman period artefacts found at the site, in particular pottery (by William Y.

Adams), basketry (by Boyce N. Driskell), and textiles (by Nettie K. Adams)
