Excavating in Egypt: The Egypt Exploration Society 1882-1982

History

Ancient Civilizations

University of Chicago Press

A hundred year's work of the Egypt Exploration Society is celebrated in this centenary volume, written by nine leading authorities. From the pioneering days of Amelia Edwards, a founder of the Society, the essays describe the expeditions of Flinders Petrie, Naville, Griffith, Emery, and many other great archaeologists, showing how enormous and wide-ranging have been the discoveries made by the Society. Quotations form reports and diaries bring to life the arduous conditions under which the excavators labored and reveal their very different approaches. It is a triumphant story of how a few far-seeing scholars and interested amateurs combined to organize not just one grand expedition but a continuing series of meticulously planned investigations throughout Egypt and Sudan

Pharaoh's People: Scenes from Life in Imperial Egypt

Describes the everyday lives of bureaucrats, scribes, craftsmen, and workers in ancient Egypt, explains how business was conducted, and examines ancient agriculture, crafts, and government

Middle East

Univ of Chicago Pr

Popular interest in ancient Egypt has too often tended to focus on the deeds of rulers, great nobles, and priests. In Pharaoh’s People, T.G.H. James by contrast examines the daily working lives of Egyptians lower down the social scale: bureaucrats, scribes, craftsmen, and workers of the land. James has drawn on the evidence of paintings and inscriptions from tombs and temples, from official archives, private correspondence, accounts, and dispatches. Most of the texts have been newly translated for this book and, in examining them, the author brings to life the fascinating intricacies of daily life under the Pharaohs.
