Illahun, Kahun and Gurob. Medum

A pioneering Egyptologist, Flinders Petrie (1853-1942) excavated over fifty sites and trained a generation of archaeologists. This reissue brings together two illustrated excavation reports, published 1891-2, covering significant discoveries at Kahun, Gurob and Meidum. Including chapters by expert collaborators, the reports illuminate Petrie's influential archaeological methods.
