Akhenaten's Amarna

All 7,386 objects from the Egypt Exploration Society's Tell el-Amarna excavations · 7,386 objects.

Pharaoh Akhenaten built a new capital at Amarna in c. 1346 BCE, abandoned it after his death, and the site was buried for three millennia. The EES excavations documented every find by Petrie grid; every object here carries its grid reference, traceable back to the exact dig spot.

Reading the catalog: a leading ? is the excavators' own mark of uncertainty: ?arrow head means a probable, not confirmed, arrowhead. Titles preserve the original Egypt Exploration Society identifications verbatim.
