Reissue of the first, and never bettered, typological catalogue of Egyptian amulets, with descriptions, interpretation, and photographs of hundreds of objects, with coffin plans.
Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853-1942) was a pioneer in the field of 'modern' archaeology. He introduced the stratigraphical approach in his Egyptian campaigns that underpins modern excavation techniques, explored scientific approaches to analysis and developed detailed typological studies of artefact classification and recording, which allowed for the stratigraphic dating of archaeological layers. He excavated and surveyed over 30 sites in Egypt, including Giza, Luxor, Amarna and Tell Nebesheh.
