Bits and bobs from Amarna - excavating in the stores
Following from last Saturday's visit by Carl Graves from the Egypt Exploration Society (EES), I have been having a quick look at the material he has put up on flickr, archive cards from the EES. And, guess what, I have found one or two bits and bobs that we have in our collection which are from Amarna. Some I didn't even know were from Amarna.
For example: This faience pulley/spool, EC492. If you click on this link, you will see the EES card for it.
And, looking in the 1951 Pendlebury volume (The City of Akhenaten III, Text, page 137) shows that it was believed to have come from an area considered to be the military and police headquarters. The cards show several other pulley like objects, mainly of pottery from Amarna.
Something else I noticed just browsing through the EES cards. Doesn't Bes look Syrian at Amarna?
