The Assyriologist and archaeologist Reginald Campbell Thompson
(1876-1941) studied Hebrew at Cambridge and upon graduation moved
into the department of Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities at the
British Museum, where he developed remarkable skill in matching
fragments of cuneiform tablets and transcribing their texts. He
excavated at Nineveh and later produced a definitive edition of the
trilingual inscription of Darius at Behistan in Iran. This 1915
work describes Thompson's life 'in the field' at various sites in
Egypt, the Sudan and western Asia. The difficulties and dangers of
travel, the encounters with local people, and the management of an
excavation are all described with enthusiasm and in melodramatic
terms. Thompson lovingly records the daily life and traditions of
the pre-1914 Middle East, perhaps feeling that he was witnessing a
world that would soon be radically changed by the war. His Semitic
Magic (1908) is also reissued in this series.
