Tutankhamun and Carter: Assessing the Impact of a Major Archaeological Find

REVIEW BY CAMPBELL PRICE It is a frequent complaint that, despite the great fame of the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb (KV62) in 1922, the rate at which material from the tomb has been published in any depth has been very slow. This complaint is, thankfully, increasingly unwarranted, as detailed studies (re-)assess items from the burial, their connections with each other, and relevant external evidence. The present volume does not aim to publish individual objects or types in depth, but rather makes an assessment of various studies of object types, and offers new perspectives on the excavation, the original investigators, and some conclusions drawn about the tomb’s contents.
