New issue of BMSAES

The British Museum

British Museum Studies in Ancient Egypt and Sudan
Issue 16: January 2011

See the above page for links to the articles, available free of charge as PDFs.

The annual Raymond and Beverly Sackler Foundation Distinguished Lecture in Egyptology has become an established part of the Egyptological calendar in London, with prominent scholars presenting the latest research on aspects of ancient Egypt. The 2009 lecture, published here, was delivered by Tamás Bács, and provided a fitting introduction to the colloquium on the Book of the Dead.

This issue also brings together reports on three British Museum fieldwork projects in the Nile Valley (Tell el-Balamun, Hagr Edfu/Elkab and Amara West), alongside an additional article from the Third International Colloquium on Predynastic and Early Dynastic Egypt.
