Howard Carter was an English archaeologist & Egyptologist, now renowned for discovering the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun. Published between 1923 & 1933, this three-volume study contains Carter's detailed account of the sensational discovery, excavation & clearance of Tutankhamun's tomb & its treasures. The tomb was almost fully intact when discovered & remains the most complete burial discovered in the Valley of the Kings. Each volume of Carter's book is richly illustrated with over 100 photographs of the tomb & objects found in it, showing their original state & how they appeared after reconstruction. Carter's meticulous recording & conservation techniques are faithfully documented in his account, providing a vivid & engaging description of the work which occurred during the excavation of this famous site. Volume 3 describes the recording & conservation of objects in the Treasury & Annexe rooms & puts forward Carter's interpretation of their use.
