Facsimile edition of the 1974 reissue of Flinders Petrie’s 1921
corpus of prehistoric pottery and slate palettes from pre-dynastic,
prehistoric Egypt. The pottery corpus was produced separately to
accompany the catalogue of Egyptian artifacts in the volume
Prehistoric Egypt and comprises hundreds of line drawings
illustrating the shapes, forms and types of decoration. It was
intended to be a ‘graveside’ aid for use during excavation,
with the intent that it be used with record cards to classify and
date pottery that could then be returned to the grave. The corpus
of palettes updated Petrie’s original classification published
Ballas and Naqada, to include many new finds and refine the
typology and sequence. This series comprises facsimile re-issues of
typological catalogues produced between 1898 and 1937 by W.M.
Flinders Petrie, based on his vast collection of Egyptian artefacts
which now reside in The Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese
Archaeology, University College, London. Long out of print, the
catalogues were re-issued in facsimile by publishers Aris &
Phillips in the 1970s alongside newly-commissioned titles by
contemporary experts. Petrie’s catalogues remain invaluable
source material today. The Oxbow Classics in Egyptology series now
makes a selection of these important resources available again in
print for a new generation of students and scholars.
