Book Description
Excerpt from Tarkhan II It is obvious that there has been a pathway up the valley, which was generally kept clear of burials in a few points, encroachments were made upon it, which can be dated in the case of grave 1441 which is of sd. 80, while 1357 and 1463 at the sides are of sd. 78. Thus when graves were perhaps fifty years old they were disregarded, the path swerved over them, and a later burial occupied the former path. The method of Clearing this cemetery has not influenced our finding of graves more in one position than another. The valley was divided into parallel strips of fifty feet wide across it; every pair of diggers began at the north end of their strip and worked southward until it proved to be exhausted. Thus the pathway was crossed by each digger in his course of work. It was necessary to give every man his own section, in order to avoid their crowding together around any successful work. Every man wished to exhaust his own ground, and to prevent any one else poaching in it, and the whole was thoroughly explored. For purposes of planning, an axis-line was marked out from end to end of the valley, and a supplementary line at 100 feet north of that, for the more northerly parts. Each grave when opened was drawn on the register-card at its correct azimuth on the ground; the distance of the ne. Corner was then measured up to the axis, and along to the nearest boundary of the 50-foot strip; the length, breadth, and depth were then noted. The position of the Skeleton and the pottery was drawn on the back of the card. Notes were filled in about disturbance, direction of head and face, sex, Clothing, coffin old types of pottery or stone vases were identified from a set of plates of types, and recorded on the card, as well as any other objects found in the grave. The bones were then measured, removed, and the ground finally searched for beads and other small objects.

Book Description
Doors are more than a physical means to close off an entrance or an exit; they can also indicate a boundary between two worlds. This volume considers the Memphite Necropoleis during the Old Kingdom, and proposes that porticos, false doors, niches and mastaba chapel entrances are interconnected in their function as a barrier between two worlds.

Book Description
Facsimile edition of the 1974 reissue of Flinders Petrie’s 1917 pioneering typological catalog of Egyptian name-scarabs and cylinders, one of a number of such catalogs to be reissued in this new series. The beetle form of amulets are common finds on Egyptian sites but examples with engraved names represent a small proportion of the total. Over 240 different royal persons are named among the various major museum collections. Petrie here illustrates and discusses over 1600 examples in his own collection together with a selection of inscribed steatite cylinders. He discusses the religious aspects of scarabs and their magical use, their varieties, materials and manufacture, and presents a chronological discussion with fully illustrated catalog of both line drawings and photographs.
