But fragmentation and dispersal have up until now made the results almost invisible. Only a relatively small number of the original statues have been widely known, even to experts. The present publication brings together all these traces of the city’s past to reveal the abundance, beauty, variety, and novelty of the statuary and to begin the process of reintegrating it in considerations of the temples and palaces of the city.   The work is presented in two parts. The first volume presents extensive observations about the creation of the statuary, comprising chapters dealing with the range of materials and the methods of working them, a detailed explication of the novel creation of composite statuary, and an overview of the workshop buildings that have been identified so far at Amarna.   In the second volume, the excavated fragments themselves, most of them previously unpublished, are catalogued in a series of chapters devoted to individual royal buildings. The original statues are envisioned and analysed for their contexts, resulting in new information about these buildings, the intentions and concerns behind them, and the evolution in those intentions.

Data has been gathered from bibliographic sources, dedicated fieldwork and information from Egyptian and foreign missions, presenting a body of material previously available only in summary online. The book provides all the information in enhanced and extended form, with descriptions of each site, noting changes in condition over time, previous discoveries and current fieldwork, together with key references to bibliographic or other sources. This is an essential index of the ancient settlements, alerting archaeologists and historians to the large cities, small towns, fortress and temple sites that covered the Delta in antiquity.   The volume presents the results of a research project extending over four decades on the identification, location and character of the archaeological sites of Lower Egypt. The project has been known since 1997 as the Egypt Exploration Society’s Delta Survey (supported by the British Academy).","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295224770933,"sku":"9780856982538","price":70.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780856982538_1dd2f32c-c2a0-47de-ba3b-50f7e0469fe8.jpg?v=1786016093"},{"product_id":"9780856982682","title":"Amelia B Edwards","description":"Amelia Blanford Edwards was so much more than a pioneer of British Egyptology. She was a writer, musician, artist, activist, and explorer. She is remembered for different reasons, by different people, in different ways. This volume offers new revelations about Amelia's private life and her relationships with women that led her, ultimately, to the founding of the Egypt Exploration Fund (now Society).  What circumstances in her life led Amelia Edwards to Egypt and what happened after her famous journey 'A Thousand Miles Up the Nile'? To answer these questions, Carl Graves navigates Amelia's complicated personal life, unpacking the events that surrounded the foundation of the Egypt Exploration Fund (now Society). Her legacy in Egyptology ends with the equally intriguing journey of an oil painting by Florence Blakiston Attwood-Mathews, now in the collection of the Society. But who really is the woman in the painting?","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295228703093,"sku":"9780856982682","price":9.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780856982682.jpg?v=1791213128"},{"product_id":"9780856982217","title":"Quesna I","description":"Since 2006 investigations have been carried out in the Quesna necropolis by the team of the EES Minufiyeh Archaeological Survey.
