Special Offer $58.00El-Deir Nécropoles ILa Nécropole Sudby Francoise Dunand, Jean-Louis Heim and Roger LichtenbergThe archaeological exploration of El-Deir (Kharga Oasis, Western Egyptian desert) was undertaken by aFrench team, starting in 1998. During the course of the ten years of work on the site, five necropolises werediscovered. A first ensemble is presented in this volume, which will be followed by five more. The study ofthe human remains, skeletal and mummified, is combined with analysis of the material constituting thefunerary furnishings: wood, basketry, ceramics, textiles. These studies contain a wealth of information on alocal population whose funerary customs, which can be observed from the Persian period to the 5th centuryAD, completely belong to the Egyptian tradition. The tombs clearly show the differences of lifestyle withinthis population, which on the whole led modest lives of agriculture and handcraft.
