- This long-form output results from an extended period of primary archival research in Oxford and New York focussing on the Harry Burton photographs of Howard Carter’s excavation of Tuntankhamun’s tomb in 1920s. Using interdisciplinary methodologies this significant, well-illustrated book examines in depth the interface between photography and archaeology at a crucial moment for both. This analysis reveals the inequities and assumptions inherent in the practices of excavation and interpretation. The work represents an important intervention in our understanding of the complexities of the creation of knowledge both about the archaeological past and our own.
