The Early Egyptian and Sudanese Collections of Sir Henry Wellcome
The pharmaceutical magnate Sir Henry Solomon Wellcome (1853-1936) amassed a vast collection of Egyptian and Sudanese antiquities over the first four decades of the twentieth century. Wellcome was captivated by the ancient world, especially Egypt, which he viewed as the zenith of human accomplishment. Convinced that studying this civilization held keys to understanding medicine, health, and the human condition, he envisioned his collection as the …
The Ritual of the Hours of the Night on the coffins of Heresenes and Nespaqashuty from Deir el-Bahari
The qrsw-coffins of Heresenes and the Priest of Montu Nespaqashuty were discovered within the Memorial Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari by Émile Baraize during the winter of 1932–1933. The inner sides of the vaulted lids of these coffins are decorated with the Ritual of the Hours. While the coffin of Nespaqashuty contains the text of both the Hours of the Day and Night, only those of the Night are written on the coffin of Heresenes. In addi…
Two relief fragments from the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari in the Egypt Centre, Swansea
During a student handling session at the Egypt Centre, Swansea University, two relief fragments from Hatshepsut’s temple at Deir el-Bahari were identified. Both fragments had been cut from the walls of the temple, most likely in the late 19th century, before arriving in Swansea via the Wellcome collection in 1971. One fragment contains two columns of text (W351b) while the second depicts the head of a figure (W1376). This paper examines these two…
Structure of an Ancient Egyptian Tomb Inferred from Ground‐Penetrating Radar Imaging of Deflected Overburden Horizons
Geophysical data acquisitions in most archaeological campaigns aim to image the target structure directly. The presence of a target, however, may be inferred from its interaction with surrounding layers, if its relationship with those layers can be characterized sufficiently. In this paper, we show the use of ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) to detect the subsurface continuation of the Ancient Egyptian tomb of the high‐official Karakhamun (Theban T…
