The Egypt Exploration Society New and Recent Publications Late Roman Glassware and Pottery from Amarna and Related Studies Jane Faiers This is the second volume on the Monastic site of Kom el-Nana at Tell el–Amarna and brings up to date the excavations carried out there. The first volume contained mainly unstratified pottery and no glass and included some of the Late Roman sites around Amarna. This volume brings together the stratified pottery and both stratified and un-stratified glass and includes more Late Roman sites around Amarna which were visited by Robert Miller in 1988 and Barry Kemp in 1995. Due to the incomplete nature of the excavations at present, (only around a third of the monastery has so far been excavated) and the time elapsed since abandonment, the conclusions reached on the dating of the site may well have to be revised in future. In the meantime, the collections of pottery and glass will, hopefully, prove useful for those working on these in the Middle East and especially in Egypt. EES Excavation Memoir 102. 2013.

The Survey of Memphis VI. Kom Rabi’a: the late Middle Kingdom (levels VI-VIII) Lisa Giddy This sixth volume in the ‘Survey of Memphis’ series describes the late Middle Kingdom levels excavated in the 1980s at Kom Rabi’a, Memphis, by the Egypt Exploration Society team. Following an introduction outlining the Society’s work at Kom Rabi’a and summarising the extant Middle Kingdom remains at Memphis as a whole, there is a detailed description of the late Middle Kingdom stratigraphy revealed at Kom Rabi’a, accompanied by in-text figures illustrating the salient characteristics of each level in the six sectors investigated. Complete lists of the contexts excavated and objects discovered are provided. There follows a reconstruction of events across the site, and a final essay evaluating the importance of Kom Rabi’a for our understanding of late Middle Kingdom Memphis.

Akhenaten’s Workers: The Amarna Stone Village Survey, 2005-2009. Volume I: The Survey, Excavations and Architecture Volume II: The Faunal and Botanical Remains, and Objects Anna Stevens, with other contributors From 2005 to 2009 a survey and excavation project was undertaken at the Stone Village, a small settlement on the eastern desert plain of Amarna, not far from the Workmen’s Village. This was the first concerted effort to record this site, and introduce it into the story of Amarna. The fieldwork revealed a community of labourers likely engaged in tomb-cutting and related projects, but of lesser social standing the occupants of the Workmen’s Village. The piecing together of diverse strands of archaeological evidence sheds light on their experiences, the Stone Village serving jointly as a new source for the study of Amarna’s vernacular urban architecture. The results of the fieldwork are presented in two volumes, the first devoted to the survey, excavation and architecture, and the second to the faunal and botanical remains, and objects.
