Excavating the extra-ordinary

The topic of the international workshop ¿Excavating the Extra-Ordinary.
Challenges and merits of workings with small finds¿ was the challenging task of
working with seemingly ¿ordinary¿ small objects and their processing. On this
occasion in April 2019 at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, experts from
Egyptological excavations, museums and institutions presented and discussed current
issues. The present volume offers contributions held at the workshop, including the
handling of vast amounts of material, fragmentary finds and methodological
questions. The diversity of the discussed materials covers pottery, wooden and bone
artefacts, as well as metal objects. Another focus lies on the scientific valuation
of insufficient early documentations and disturbed find contexts.
