Summary
"Contains a detailed description of the pottery from a number of Late Period embalmers' caches and Late Period tombs discovered at Saqqâra between 1975 and 1995. Through a series of reasoned arguments the pottery is dated to the period ca. 550-400 BC, and is thus co-eval with the Persian Period. ... The book also includes discussions of the funerary practices of these times as well as a general survey of where this ceramic material fits within the northern Late Period pottery tradition."--P. [4] of cover.
