To celebrate 40 years of Egyptology at Macquarie University, Tombs,
Trowels and Treasures provides an overview of the fieldwork undertaken
in Egypt from the early days until the present and records our
engagement in teaching, research and community outreach. Part One
presents the fieldwork projects conducted by Macquarie in over 20 sites
and 80 tombs. The projects are arranged by site in the chronological
order in which the work was undertaken. The special, unusual and
sometimes unique scenes and finds are showcased in over 650 photographs.
Part Two has three sections reflecting the distinct areas of our
engagement in teaching Egyptology in the Department of Ancient History,
with research in Egyptology at Macquarie University through The
Australian Centre for Egyptology, as well as our multi-facetted
commitment to making Egyptology accessible to the wider community
through The Rundle Foundation for Egyptian Archaeology. At the end of
the volume, the reader will find several thematic lists. They best
document the scope of what 'Egyptology at Macquarie University'
comprises.
