Quesna I Investigations in the Ptolemaic–Roman Cemetery, 2006–2013 by Joanne Rowland Since 2006, investigations have been carried out in the Quesna necropolis by the team of the EES Minufiyeh Archaeological Survey. This publication concerns the first element of work that has now been completed, the investigations in the Ptolemaic–Roman cemetery (2006–2013). In 2006, the extent of the cemetery (in so far as it survives until today) was delimited using magnetic survey, the results of which are included in the introductory section to this volume. The volume opens with a general description of the site before proceeding to the main catalogue, which includes information on each of the burials that have been excavated and analyzed. This includes bioanthropological data as well as information relating to the graves. The main catalogue is followed by a synthesis of the demographic data, evaluating the wider population both within the site and within the wider Egyptian and Mediterranean world. 330p, illus (Egypt Exploration Society, December 2014, Excavation Memoir 109) hardcover, 9780856982217, $140.00.
