A pioneering Egyptologist, Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie
(1853-1942) excavated over fifty sites and trained a generation of
archaeologists. This excavation report, first published in 1900,
documents and illustrates the findings made at the cemetery of
Dendera, until then neglected by archaeologists in favour of the
more famous temple site. The work includes descriptions of the
tombs and a chapter by Francis Llewellyn Griffith (1862-1934) on
the inscriptions. Also covered are the pottery, funereal furniture
and animal catacombs. The discoveries date from the Old Kingdom
right through to the Roman period. The extensive section of plates
includes plans of the tombs along with drawings and photographs of
the many artefacts found within. Petrie wrote prolifically
throughout his long career, believing that insights gained from his
digs should be shared as swiftly as possible. A great many of his
other publications - for both specialists and non-specialists - are
also reissued in this series.
