Deir el-Bahari Studies IWe are pleased to inform that the first volume of Deir el-Bahari Studies series has just been published as a Special Studies fascicle of the PCMA journal Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean 24. As Dr. Z.E. Szafrański states in the preface - "Articles are covering manifold aspects of human cognitive behavior in the Deir el-Bahari and Asasif area. They range widely in space and time, being aimed at studies of particular periods or problems, rather than general theoretical statements. In future special issues of Deir el-Bahari Studies contributions from specialists in complementary fields, such as architecture, conservation or linguistics will also be encouraged. This broad scope of the presentation will hopefully be appreciated by all those concerned with the archaeology and restoration of West Theban monuments".
All articles are available online on the PCMA website and can be downloaded HERE. |
