Among the leading Egyptologists of his day, Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie excavated over 50 sites and trained a generation of archaeologists. This single-volume reissue brings together two of his well-illustrated excavation reports. The first, originally published in 1896, covers the work undertaken in 1893-4 at Koptos (modern-day Qift), a key settlement in Upper Egypt on the Nile's east bank. This includes a chapter on classical inscriptions by David George Hogarth. The second report, first published in 1909, discusses recent archaeological work around Qurna in the Theban necropolis, including the discovery of an intact royal burial dating from the 17th dynasty. The epigraphic material is addressed in a chapter by James Herbert Walker. Petrie wrote prolifically throughout his long career, and a great many of his other publications are also reissued in this series.
