A pioneering Egyptologist, Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853-1942) excavated over fifty sites and trained a generation of archaeologists. Ernest A. Gardner (1862-1939) was to become a leading classical archaeologist, but his first major project was carrying on the work of Petrie at Naukratis, the ancient Greek colony in the Nile Delta that Petrie had discovered in 1884. Reissued here together are Petrie's initial excavation report of 1886 and Gardner's 1888 continuation, each with many illustrations and material contributed by specialists on certain topics. Notably, the finds of inscribed pottery yielded significant insights into how the Greek alphabet developed. The final component included here is Petrie's 1889 report covering recent digs, particularly his discovery of a Roman necropolis and dozens of remarkable mummy portraits at Hawara. He wrote prolifically throughout his long career, and a great many of his other publications are also reissued in this series.

VIII and IX. of Naukratis I; another piece is figured in the same volume, PL VII. 11, and two or three other vases, more or less fragmentary, were found in the temenos of Aphrodite. In Naukratis I. p. 53, Mr. Cecil Smith made the suggestion that it was not impossible that this peculiar style of pottery should be attributed, not to Gyrene, but to Naukratis.4 But he did not then think there was sufficient evidence to justify our setting aside the accepted name and attribution; and we certainly have not now any more reason for rejecting it. The peculiar fabric of these vases, and the style of their decoration, are not at all similar in their nature to those we find upon the vases that we know now to have been made at Naukratis itself. The Cyrenaic ware is so peculiar, that any fragment of it can at a glance be picked out from the confused mass; yet the total number recovered does not imply the existence of more than three or four vases in the temenos of Aphrodite--an impossibly small number, if the ware were really of local manufacture. On two of the Cyrenaic vases were inscriptions (Pl. XXI. 766--767); on one was the name Negomandrus, on the other, probably, Philammon. This last is a name that is obviously fitting for a Cyrenean, when we remember the close relations between Gyrene and the cult of Zeus Ammon,--"Oraclum Jovis inter aestuosi Et Batti veteris sacrum sepulcrum." Negomandrus also has a GraecoEgyptian look about it, that seems to imply a connection with either Naukratis or Gyrene: in several cases besides this there is good reason for supposing that it was customary for dedicators to offer the ware that was 4 I am sorry to see that this suggestion, which Mr. Smith himself would not now maintain, has heen rep...

Originally published in 1897, this book was written to provide both archaeologists and visitors with an accessible guide to Greek vases in the Fitzwilliam Museum: 'to publish and make accessible to archaeologists a record of the vases it contains, and to assist the visitor, and more especially the student in observing the history and technique of Greek vase-painting'. The text contains illustrations of every vase in the collection, except those that reproduce well-known and common types; these illustrations replace lengthy description and allow for easy identification of subject and style. This is a beautifully presented book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in the collections of the Fitzwilliam Museum, archaeology and Greek vases.

"[...]worship it was often from the inheritance of a sanctity transferred to them from an earlier image rather than for their own artistic qualities. It does not, indeed, follow that the influence of the great sculptors upon the religious ideals of the people was a negligible quality; we have abundant evidence, both direct and indirect, that it was very great. But it was exercised chiefly by following and ennobling traditional notions rather than by daring innovation, and therefore can only be understood in relation to the general development both of religious[...]".
