Petrie excavated a series of assemblages at the New Kingdom Fayum site of Gurob. These deposits, known in the Egyptological literature as 'Burnt Groups', were composed by several and varied materials (mainly Egyptian and imported pottery, faience, stone and wood vessels, jewellery), all deliberately burnt and buried in the harem palace area of the settlement. Since their discovery these deposits have been considered peculiar and unparalleled. Many scholars were challenged by them and different theories were formulated to explain these enigmatic 'Burnt Groups'. The materials excavated from these assemblages are now curated at several Museum collections across England: Ashmolean Museum, British Museum, Manchester Museum, and Petrie Museum. For the first time since their discovery, this book presents these materials all together. Gasperini has studied and visually analysed all the items. This research sheds new light on the chronology of deposition of these assemblages, additionally a new interpretation of their nature, primary deposition, and function is presented in the conclusive chapter. 650 0 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $z Egypt. 650 0 $a Grave robbing $z Egypt $x History. 651 0 $a Egypt $x Antiquities. 651 0 $a Gurob (Extinct city) 650 7 $a Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917564 650 7 $a Grave robbing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00946843 651 7 $a Egypt. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208755 651 7 $a Egypt $z Gurob (Extinct city) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01896848 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Oxford studies in Egyptian archaeology. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210021936.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=246DFF8E2E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
