Ancient Gasa, 4: Tell el Ajjl

Abstract

IN this volume Sir Flinders Petrie, following his usual and admirable practice of publishing the report on his work in the field with a minimum of delay, has given subscribers to the British School of Archaeology in Egypt and archaeologists in general a fully illustrated account of the material obtained by the expedition to Gaza (Tell el Ajjūl) in 1933-34. This season, the fourth spent on that site, was devoted to clearing about five acres of the Tell down to native rock, further work on the cemetery, and to drawing objects and preparing plans.

Ancient Gasa, 4: Tell el Ajjl

By Sir Flinders Petrie. Pp. vii + 21 + 70 plates. (London: British School of Archæology in Egypt; Bernard Quaritch, Ltd., 1934.) 50s.
