Open Access Monograph Series: Giza Mastabas Series Online
The Giza Mastabas Series
In 1902 the
Egyptian Antiquities Service (now called the Supreme Council of
Antiquities) granted permits for scientific excavations at the royal
pyramids and private mastaba tombs of Giza. The American team under George A. Reisner
(1867–1942), eventually became the Joint Egyptian Expedition of Harvard
University and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in 1905, and continued
almost uninterrupted until Reisner's death in 1942. The Expedition formally closed in 1947. Despite the publication of his monumental History of the Giza Necropolis
I–II, Reisner was unable to see through the press an additioal 5,000
pages of unpublished manuscript (Giza Necropolis II, III, IV), or begin
the tomb-by-tomb publication series he originally envisioned. This task
was initiated by William Kelly Simpson in the early 1970s in the form of
the Giza Mastabas Series. The goal of the project is to continue and
complete the publication of Reisner’s excavations at Giza, fully
documenting the mastaba tombs with descriptive text, hieroglyphic
translations, facsimile line drawings, plans, sections, and photographs.
