This work is of great importance to the study of Egyptology.
Detailed but isolated studies have been made of several Late Period
tombs and other groups of tombs have been discussed comparatively.
Royal tombs have been studied in depth. However, until now there
has not been a comprehensive survey and analysis of all the
non-royal Egyptian tombs of the Late Period. This book details the
architecture, decoration and textual content of all the known non-
royal Egyptian tombs of the Period, both within the Nile Valley and
elsewhere, as well as the artefacts found within them. It
categorises the tombs into a new typology, enabling easy
cross-reference of differing types of tomb in different areas, and
it discusses the development of the tombs from their earlier
architectural forms. It considers why important types of tomb were
developed in some areas, while in other areas different types of
tomb were created. No work of a similar nature has previously been
undertaken, making this an essential reference work for the student
of this period of Egyptian history; it will also be of great
interest to the student of archaeology and the history of art and
architecture.
