She is the author of a range of books, reports and articles, including: Who is Afraid of Basketry (1992), The World According to Basketry (1999), Berenike Reports (from 1995-2007, co-edited with Steven Sidebotham) and The Archaeology of Mobility (2007, co-editor with Hans Barnard) and editor-in-chief of the online UCLA Encyclopedia of Egyptology (2008).  Written by some of the world’s leading experts, \u003ci\u003eEgyptian Archaeology\u003c\/i\u003e employs a uniquely archaeological approach to explore ancient Egypt. Drawing on original research and excavations to both synthesize and challenge existing scholarship, this book dispels traditional notions of Egyptian culture as monolithic. Each author explicates current understandings of the cultural and historical processes of ancient Egypt, illustrating that practical research is a vital and fascinating component of any theory-based discussion about the ancient world. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy examining fundamental issues and important temporal, regional, and social developments through a global lens, \u003ci\u003eEgyptian Archaeology\u003c\/i\u003e brings existing debates vigorously up-to-date, while challenging students to think about their own interpretations, expectations, and attitudes towards ancient and modern Egypt. Engaging and progressive, this fully illustrated volume provides an insightful investigation into the world of ancient Egyptian archaeology and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989108768997,"sku":"NP9781405149877","price":89.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405149877.jpg?v=1761782829","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/egyptian-archaeology-isbn-9781405149877","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
