“Tell el-Farkha I. Excavations
1998-2011” (Poznań-Kraków, ISBN 978-83-60109) is a volume edited by dr
Marek Chłodnicki, prof. Krzysztof M. Ciałowicz and dr Agnieszka
Mączyńska. It is the first comprehensive scientific publication of one
of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt which constantly
brings new information concerning the emergence of the united Egyptian
state.
The book, published by the Poznań
Archaeological Museum, presents major archaeological discoveries made
by the Polish Archaeological Expedition to the Eastern Nile Delta in the
years 1998-2011, for over 14 archaeological seasons. Its 460 colour
pages, organised in 27 chapters, contain not only the information about
artefacts found at the site, but also their wider interpretation
complemented with the results of specialised analyses.
The publication was prepared as part of
the promotion of the project entitled “The Nile Delta as a centre of
cultural exchange between the Upper Egypt and the south Levantin the 4th millennium B.C.”, financed by the Foundation for Polish Science under the Pomost-Powroty Programme.
The volume is not meant for sale. The
whole circulation will be distributed among scholars studying Egyptian
archaeology, and will be dispatched to libraries in Poland and abroad
with which the Library of the Poznań Archaeologica Museum has an
exchange programme.
