Egyptian Archaeology cover

Egyptian Archaeology explores ancient Egypt using a uniquely archaeological approach, drawing on original research to both synthesize and challenge existing scholarship.

  • Written by leading Egyptologists, based on original research and fieldwork
  • Illustrates how practical research is a vital component of any theory-based discussion about the ancient world
  • Examines the cultural and historical processes of ancient Egypt from a global perspective
  • Visually engaging with over 80 illustrations
  • Chapters explore fundamental issues and themes, but focus on specific periods and key archaeological sites

“In conclusion, the uninitiated will have a tough read with this ‘quick’ access to Egyptology, and Egyptologists will have difficulty critically evaluating the various proposed developments. Therefore, it seems this book should serve as a very brief insight into certain themes for already initiated experts, and for that, it provides excellent points of departure indeed.”  (Bibliotheca Orientalis, 1 September 2014)

“Willeke Wendrich’s edited volume, Egyptian archaeology, is perhaps the most ambitious of the three on offer here in terms of its scope and I would strongly recommend  it.”  (Antiquity, 1 January 2013)

"Recommended. All academic levels/libraries." (Choice , 1 April 2011)
