Author Description

This long-awaited volume publishes the excavations by the Egypt Exploration Society of the Old Kingdom Town at Buhen, directed by W. B. Emery between 1962 and 1964. Following Emery's unexpected death in 1971, the material was prepared by David O'Connor, who had been a Site Supervisor at Buhen. The volume presents the location, excavation and extent of the Old Kingdom Town, descriptions of structural and architectural features and a discussion of Egyptian ceramic as well as Nubian sherds, followed by catalogue of lithic artefacts.
