Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lahun I: The Treasure 1. The work of the British School of Archaeology in Egypt during the winter of 1913-14 was carried on at two different localities. Professor Petrie, on 6th Dec.1913, began operations round the pyramid of Lahun, near the entrance to the Fayum; this work closed on 9th April. Mr. Engelbach scamp was at Harageh, five miles away. Pyramid work in 1889-90 had proved the builder to be Senusert II, and had disclosed an entrance into the pyramid on the S. E. (see plan, Petrie, Illahun, pi. ii); this, however, was too small to admit the sarcophagus, which is still in position in the burial chamber. A passage running south led to the foot of another shaft which required investigation, as well as a pit filled with water close to the foot of the entrance shaft (see Well, pi. xxiii). In view of subsequent discoveries round the xiith dynasty pyramids at Dahshur and Lisht, it was obviously most desirable to move all the debris which encumbered the site, and search every foot of rock surface within the brick enclosure wall for possible royal tombs. This programme was carried out, and the pyramid with its surrounding constructions completely planned, while a considerable number of tombs in the adjoining cemeteries were examined, though with poor results. The delay in the publication of the seasons work, owing to the war, has been so great, that it was considered advisable to place an account of the discovery of the princesses tombs with the great find of jewellery, in the hands of students as quickly as possible after the cessation of hostilities, and to hold back the record of the rest of the work for next year's volume. My thanks are due to Professor Petrie for his unfailing help in the preparation and revision of this work; to Miss M.A. Murray, Mr. H. E. Winlock, and Mr. Battiscombe Gunn for many suggestions; and to my wife, who has done much of the drawing, and all the inking in of the plates. 2. The party of workers at the Pyramid comprised Professor and Mrs. Flinders Petrie, Mr. C. T. Campion, and Mr. and Mrs. Guy Brunton;while Dr. Walter Amsden, Mr. R. Engelbach, Mr. F. Frost, Mr. Battiscombe Gunn, and the late Mr. D. Willey divided their work between Harageh and Lahun. Beside the nucleus of men and boys from Quft, a large gang of natives was engaged from the neighbouring villages of Lahun, Hawara, and Hammam. The clearing of the pyramid site lasted from 6th Jan. to 31 st March 1914, and a further three weeks were spent on tombs in the vicinity. The tomb-planning was largely the work of Mrs. Petrie, while Mrs. Brunton did the greater part of the drawing. Mr. Campion's share consisted in supervision of the workmen, and in care of the antiquities discovered. Professor Petrie, in addition to the general direction of the work, surveyed and planned the whole site. He also took most of the photographs. The general management and recording fell to me. Mr. Engelbach helped us with his engineering skill when the water in the pyramid well had to be dealt with, and in other matters. 3. The rock formation of the site consists of a soft marl, with veins of sulphate of lime. This is in places overlaid with a hard compact limestone. The ground on the S. E. of the pyramid is of this hard rock, while the marl outcrops all over the S. W. of the pyramid enclosure, and also on the east. The site was originally a rocky slope, high on north and east; this slope was levelled by cutting down into the rock, and building up the wide area of the temenos around the pyramid with chips on the S.E. The full details of the construction will be given in a subsequent volume, but some description is necessary in order to understand the relation of the tombs of the princesses to the pyramid itself.
