The British Museum has recently published a
guidebook to the site of Amara West, funded by the Qatar-Sudan
Archaeological Project. The book seeks to share, in an accessible
manner, the latest research on this important site on Egypt’s
southern New Kingdom frontier.
Co-authored by team members of the Amara West Project, it covers
such themes as: how the town of Amara West came to be; what it was
like to live there in pharaonic times; and how the Egyptian
colonisers co-existed and interacted with local Nubian
populations.
It provides an overview of early 20th century excavations at the
site, and an insight into how archaeologists work today. And, of
course, it provides information about visiting Amara West.
The book is provided here as a free pdf download.
