Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baboon and Mother of Apis Catacombs were cleared in the 1968/9 season and the 1969/70 and 1970/71 seasons respectively during the Egypt Exploration Society's excavation of the site now known as the Sacred Animal Necropolis at North Saqqara. These excavations were initiated by W. B. Emery and directed by him from 1964 until his death in Cairo in March 1971. Later in that year, the Society's Committee appointed H. S. Smith as Field Director and G. T. Martin as Site Director for the project. During the years 1971-6 fieldwork was completed by the Society as far as was deemed practicable. Work then started upon the formidable task of publishing the underground catacombs and surface structures discovered and the very large quantities of objects and documents found during the excavations. Two of the reports, on the Falcon Complex and Catacomb and the Main Temple Complex have since appeared. This volume by Sue Davies constitutes the final archaeological report on the cult installations accessed directly from the Main Temple Complex.

Download or read book The Catacombs of Anubis at North Saqqara written by P. NICHOLSON and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-12 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1897 Jacques de Morgan published a map of the Memphite necropolis, showing for the first time a pair of catacombs for mummified dogs. No further information was given and the catacombs remained largely un-investigated until the 21st century. In 2009 the Catacombs of Anubis Project was set up by Cardiff University who worked in collaboration with the Egyptian Supreme Council for Antiquities in an attempt to understand the larger of the two catacombs. This publication describes the work of the Catacombs of Anubis Project. It examines the way in which the catacomb was created and the likely phases of its development in the Late and Ptolemaic periods. The way in which the many thousands of animal mummies were procured is discussed in the light of modern faunal analysis and these results are combined with a new survey of the site to give a picture of the functioning of the cult at Saqqara. Finally, the way in which the monument may have been re-used in the post-pharaonic era is discussed. The results will be of interest to all those interested in animal mummies and in the development of catacombs as well as those concerned with the evolution of the sacred landscape of Saqqara.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Egyptian Collection at Norwich Castle Museum represents the first full publication of this important collection which contains several outstanding objects. Part 1 begins with an outline of the acquisition history of the Egyptian collection and its display within Norwich Castle in 1894, when it was converted from a prison to a museum. The collection was largely acquired between the nineteenth and first part of the twentieth centuries. Its most prominent donor was Flaxman Spurrell, whose varied collection of flints, faience beads and necklaces as well as Late Antique cloths was obtained from Sir Flinders Petrie. Also prominent was the Norwich-based Colman family, most notable for its manufacture of mustard, whose collection was purchased in Egypt during the late-C19. Also included in this part are essays on several of the museum’s outstanding items – Ipu’s shroud, a rare early 18th Dynasty example with fragments also held in Cairo; the 22nd Dynasty finely decorated and well-preserved cartonnage and wooden lid of the priest, Ankh-hor; and the exceptional model granary of Nile clay painted with lively scenes, one showing the owner, Intef, playing senet. Part 2 is a detailed catalogue of the complete collection. It is organised into sections with objects grouped together mainly according to type – stelae, shabtis, scarabs, jewellery, amulets, vessels, flints, lamps, inscribed Book of the Dead fragments, metal figurines, and Late Antique cloths; and also according to function – such as cosmetics& grooming, and architectural & furniture elements. The inscribed materials have all been translated and individual entries give examples or parallels. Seventy colour plates illustrate each object.
