{"product_id":"9788073083250","title":"Abusir XIX","description":"The tombs published in this volume of the  Abusir  series have been excavated during several seasons at Abusir South. The eight  tombs are located in the easternmost sector of Abusir South, on  the slopes (tombs AS 20 and AS 33) and at the bottom (tombs AS  34-35, 50-53) of a large but low hill, to the north of the  so-called Wadi Abusiri. They do not form a single cemetery;  rather, they represent different groups of sacral structures that  illustrate very well the diachronic development of the Abusir  South necropolis during the Old Kingdom (for earlier monographs  covering previous excavations see  Abusir V  and  XIII ) and the Late Period-Ptolemaic era. Most if not all of the structures document  in a new way important archaeological and historical themes, such  as the origin and development of the false door tradition; early  administration (tomb AS 20); unique building development of early  Old Kingdom tombs (AS 20 and 33); the late Old Kingdom sociology  of family cemeteries (tombs AS 34-35 and 50-53) and the  appearance of new Late Period animal cemeteries (tombs AS 33,  34-35 and 50-53).Miroslav Bárta is professor of Egyptology and director of the  Czech mission to Abusir. Filip Coppens and Hana Vymazalová are  researchers in the Czech Institute of Egyptology, Faculty of  Arts, Charles University in Prague. All the authors are members  of the Czech Institute of Egyptology, excavating for many years  in Egypt.","brand":"Miroslav Bárta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47575069294910,"sku":"9788073083250","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9788073083250.jpg?v=1707775381","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9788073083250","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
