Facsimile edition of the 1974 reissue of Flinders Petrie’s 1896
account of the excavation (mainly) of tombs in the area around
Ballas and Naqada on the edge of the Egyptian desert, 30 miles
north of Thebes. Several areas of the ancient towns of Deir and
Nubt color="#2F2F2F">– the latter identified as the center of
Set worship face=Calibri color="#2F2F2F">– and more tombs were
investigated. At each cemetery, traditionally furnished Old and
Middle Kingdom tombs were examined and many proved to have been
plundered and reused in antiquity. Petrie named these later burials
as of a New Race and describes them in detail at Ballas and Naqada.
A collection of mostly Palaeolithic flint artefacts is also
described. 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.
