Documenting Elkab: Progress Reports

Contributions by W. Vivian Davies
book cover

This volume presents a selective account of the Oxford Epigraphic Expedition to Upper Egypt’s progress over recent seasons (largely seasons 2017-2020, 2022). It comprises five reports, the first four devoted to the results of the on-going documentation of the pharaonic monuments of Elkab, especially the tombs of the main rock-necropolis, and the fifth to Coptic ostraca (with unusual content) from the related site of Hagr Edfu, now stored in the Antiquities Magazine at Elkab. The numerous published reports on earlier seasons of work at both sites are listed in the bibliographies within.
