En savoir plus sur le livre
This bookprovides an account of the excavation of a single house at the Nubian site ofQasr Ibrim in 1986. The work provided a microcosm that investigated residentialcontinuity in the context of cultural change, at a place remarkable for thesurvival of organic evidence. House 1037 should be considered in the context ofother excavations at Qasr Ibrim, conducted for many years on behalf of theEgypt Exploration Society. This raises questions about its role in the contextof African archaeology, as well as its wider relationships. The book is also astudy of the problems arising from delayed publication of archaeological fieldresearch and of the extent to which they can be overcome. Much of the site hasnow been destroyed or damaged by the rising waters of Lake Nasser, so that thebook is a record of an investigation that cannot be repeated: it is a'resurrection' of the work.
