Inhaltsangabe:

Ancient Egyptian cities and towns have until recently been one of the least-studied and least-published aspects of this great ancient civilization. Now, new research and excavation are transforming our knowledge. This is the first book to bring these latest discoveries to a wide audience and to provide a comprehensive overview of what we know about ancient settlement during the dynastic period.The cities range in date from early urban centers to large metropolises. From houses to palaces to temples, the different parts of Egyptian cities and towns are examined in detail, giving a clear picture of the urban world. The inhabitants, from servants to Pharaoh, are vividly brought to life, placed in the context of the civil administration that organized every detail of their lives.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Steven Snape is a lecturer in Egyptology at the University of Liverpool and Director of the Garstang Museum of Archaeology, also in Liverpool. He is a recognized authority and an experienced settlement archaeologist, who currently leads excavations at Zawiyet Umm el-Rakham.
