The Survey of Memphis VI

This sixth volume in the 'Survey of Memphis' series, by Lisa Giddy, describes the late Middle Kingdom levels excavated in the 1980s at Kom Rabia, Memphis, by the Egypt Exploration Society team. Following an introduction outlining the Society's work at Kom Rabia and summarising the extant Middle Kingdom remains at Memphis as a whole, there is a detailed description of the late Middle Kingdom stratigraphy revealed at Kom Rabia, accompanied by in-text figures illustrating the salient characteristics of each level in the six sectors investigated. Complete lists of the contexts excavated and objects discovered are provided. There follows a reconstruction of events across the site, and a final essay evaluating the importance of Kom Rabia for our understanding of late Middle Kingdom Memphis.
