This book records the results of excavations and investigations undertaken by the Egypt Exploration Society between 1963 and 1998 on the largest surviving building, the Cathedral Church, on the significant site of Qasr Ibrim, one of the very few not totally destroyed by inundation following the construction of the Aswan Dam and the creation of Lake Nasser. It sets out the archaeological evidence, which has resulted from excavations and a detailed study of the surviving fabric, and provides an interpretation of that evidence for the construction of the Cathedral Church including its subsequent abandonment and use as a domestic dwelling and then an Ottoman Mosque. It also places the building and the site within the context of Medieval Nubia.
Anna Stevens is a research archaeologist, specializing in Ancient Egypt, with a particular interest in exploring how everyday material culture and urban space can shed light on the experiences of people whose lives are rarely reflected in formal architecture and texts. Much of her research focuses upon the New Kingdom city of Akhetaten (modern Amarna), and includes the ongoing study of the citys non-elite cemeteries, funded by the National Endowment of the Humanities and other sources. She is the Assistant Director of the Amarna Project and an Affiliated Scholar at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge.
