Eric Peet (1882-1934) is better known as an Egyptologist, but this,
his 1909 first published work, remained the standard reference on
its subject for many years. Gaining a Craven Scholarship from
Oxford, he spent three years exploring Italian and Maltese sites,
but later found work on Egyptian excavations (his co-authored
publication on The Cemeteries of Abydos is also reissued in this
series). This book is organised chronologically from the
palaeolithic period to the Bronze Age, and, as Peet points out in
his preface, pulls together not only his own research but the
earlier work of Italian archaeologists, mostly published in
scattered form in journals. From the finds in early cave shelters
to the sophisticated metal and ceramic wares found in Bronze Age
settlements and burials, this highly illustrated work demonstrates
the development of prehistoric society in a region generally much
better known for the later achievements of the Romans.
Originally published between 1913 and 1914 for the Egypt
Exploration Fund, these three excavation reports relating to the
necropolis at Abydos are now reissued together in one volume.
Following the important work carried out by Flinders Petrie - his
two reports on The Royal Tombs (1900-1) and the three-part Abydos
(1902-4) are also reissued in this series - Edouard Naville
(1844-1926) began further excavation and recording of the site's
cemeteries with Thomas Eric Peet (1882-1934) and others. Each
report contains a section of valuable illustrative material, such
as photographs and drawings of the discovered artefacts. Part 1,
covering the 1909-10 season, includes chapters on pottery and
mummified dogs. Part 2, written up by Peet, covers all the tomb
work carried out between 1909 and 1912. Part 3, co-authored with W.
L. S. Loat, covers the 1912-13 season, notably the discovery of an
ibis cemetery.
