This memoir describes the results of an excavation undertaken in 1915 by the American branch of the Egypt Exploration Soci…ety (then the Egypt Exploration Fund) under the direction of Mr. G. A. Wainwright, one of the British archaeologists working for the Fund. Prof. Thomas Whittemore, the American representative on the Committee of the Fund, was charged with the general oversight of this special work on behalf of the American subscribers, and he explains the circumstances of the excavation in a Preface to the scientific part of the work, which is written by Mr. Wainwright. Tombs were excavated at various dates from the predynastic period to the New Kingdom, and yielded a fair amount of archaeological material of the usual kind for the contributing American museums. This volume is illustrated at rear with 25 leaves of plates (b/w photographic reproductions, and b/w illustrations) Binding slightly age-toned along edges. Corners rubbed. Ex-library bookplate on inside of front cover, and pocket on inside of back cover. Ex-library stamp to top and bottom edges. Binding in overall good-, interior in very good condition.
