Once the political centre of Lower Egypt, the city of Tanis was in
ruins by the time pioneering archaeologist W. M. Flinders Petrie
(1853-1942) arrived in the late nineteenth century. He recruited
more than a hundred workers from nearby settlements to help with
his excavations there. Now reissued together, these two reports of
Petrie's discoveries were originally published separately in 1885
and 1888. His colleague Francis Llewellyn Griffith (1862-1934)
contributes epigraphic analysis and translations. Each report
contains much illustrative content, such as maps and photographs of
the sites as well as drawings of the finds and hieroglyphic
inscriptions. The 1888 publication also covers work carried out at
Nebesheh and Defenneh, neither of which had been previously studied
by archaeologists. Alexander Stuart Murray (1841-1904) discusses
the important discoveries of painted vases at the latter site. Many
of Petrie's other Egyptological publications are also reissued in
this series.
