Book Description

Excerpt from Lahun I: The Treasure Beside the nucleus of men and boys from Quit, a large gang of natives was engaged from the neighbouring villages of Lahun, Hawara, and Ham mam. The clearing of the pyramid site lasted from 6th Jan. To 3ist March 1914, and a further three weeks were spent on tombs in the Vicinity. The tomb-planning was largely the work of Mrs. Petrie, while Mrs. Brunton did the greater part of the drawing. Mr. Campion's share consisted in supervision of the workmen, and in care of the antiquities discovered. Professor Petrie, in addition to the general direction of the work, surveyed and planned the whole site. He also took most of the photographs. The general management and record ing fell to me. Mr. Engelbach helped us with his engineering skill when the water in the pyramid well had to be dealt with, and in other matters.
