A pioneering Egyptologist, Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie
(1853-1942) excavated over fifty sites and trained a generation of
archaeologists. Now reissued in two volumes are the four excavation
reports, published between 1931 and 1934, covering his extensive
dig at Tell el-Ajjul in Palestine. The reports scrupulously record
the finds of artefacts dating from the Copper Age and extending to
the Hyksos period. Descriptions of the working party's struggles
against malaria and the elements highlight Petrie's devotion to his
work. Volume 2 combines the final two excavation reports, first
published in 1933 and 1934, and includes the significant discovery
of the large tomb of the governor under Tutankhamun. Each report
features a section of photographs and sketches of tombs, pottery,
weapons and jewellery. Petrie wrote prolifically throughout his
long career, and a great many of his Egyptological publications -
for both specialists and non-specialists - are also reissued in
this series.
