Excavations at: The North Cliffs Cemetery 2018, Amarna by Anna Stevens and Gretchen Dabbs
Of the three major cemeteries at Akhenaton's city of Akhetaton (Amarna) the North Cliffs cemetery is discussed in this informative report of the excavations in 2018.
The report highlights some of the similarities and differences between the cemetery sites, but also illustrates some of the difficulties Egyptologists regularly face in attempting to reconstruct site useage: disturbances of the site by looters over a period of time.
Investigation of these cemetery sites informs our knowledge of what life may have been like for the citizens of Amarna.
If you are interested in the Amarna Period, then the Amarna Project website is the place to get the latest information about work being carried out at the site.
