This is the facsimile edition of the 1974 reissue of Flinders
Petrie’s 1921 description and catalogue of pre-dynastic,
prehistoric artifacts from Egypt. Draws together evidence from
various excavations and surveys undertaken by himself and others to
present a fully illustrated, detailed catalogue of recovered
artifacts of flint, other stone, clay, pottery, ivory/tusk and
bone, metalwork, wood, shell and glass. He attempts to establish
relative dating sequence based on a combination of object
typologies and grave associations, combined with the then-latest
geological and sedimentological information, concluding that the
material covered a period from around 10,000–5000 BC. Objects are
described by material and form, set within his established
chronological framework. 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.
