At the New Kingdom necropolis at Saqqara, pottery is extremely plentiful and generally found in a good state of preservation. The pottery presented here is all the New Kingdom pottery from the tomb, found between 1975-83.

Honeybees are under threat worldwide because of virulent viruses against which they have no natural defences. Nearly all colonies in the wild have died out and without beekeepers to care for them, honeybees could disappear in a few years.

Good Nutrition - Good Bees

A very important book on an often overlooked subject area - the role of good nutrition in honey bee biology.\nThis husband and wife team delve into the importance of the pollinator species to man's survival and how the functioning of the world's ecosystems is recognised. Environmental and other stressors have taken their toll on many pollinator species and their abundance.\nThe European Honey bee (Apis mellifera) and man have had a long mutually beneficial relationship and it is vital that this continues. 
Like all organisms, honey bees need food and shelter to ensure their survival and ability to thrive. A key factor in achieving this is the understanding of the role of good nutrition in honey bee biology.\nThis book considers the role of good nutrition for honey bees in the British Isles and the implications of these requirements for beekeepers and their beekeeping management techniques and for those who manage land on which forage for honey bees and other pollinators might be grown.

The importance of pollinator species to man's survival and the functioning of the world's ecosystems is recognised. Environmental and other stressors have taken their toll on many pollinator species and their abundance. The European Honey bee (Apis mellifera) and man have had a long mutually beneficial relationship and it is vital that this continues. Like all organisms, honey bees need food and shelter to ensure their survival and ability to thrive. A key factor in achieving this is the understanding of the role of good nutrition in honey bee biology. This book considers the role of good nutrition for honey bees in the British Isles and the implications of these requirements for beekeepers and their beekeeping management techniques and for those who manage land on which forage for honey bees and other pollinators might be grown. About the Authors David Aston, B.Sc., MSc., Ph.D., NDB is a biologist and a Master Beekeeper having kept bees continuously for 40 years in the East Riding of Yorkshire. He holds the National Diploma in Beekeeping (NDB), has been Board Chairman and a current member of its Executive. He has contributed to the work of the British Beekeepers' Association (BBKA) for many years and has served as Chair of Trustees and is now a Past President. He is also a Trustee of the CB Dennis British Beekeepers' Research Trust. Sally Bucknall, B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D., CBiol. is a biologist and environmentalist. She has been a Trustee and Chair of Trustees for the charity Garden Organic (Henry Doubleday Research Association, HDRA). This husband and wife team have published two other books relating to beekeeping, namely Plants and Honey Bees - their relationships and Keeping Healthy Honey Bees.

This volume deals with the so-called Tell el-Yahudiyeh ware - black vessels with incised decoration - that is found throughout the Eastern Mediterranean regions. This type of pottery dates to the Middle bronze Age. This volume is part of the Tell el-Dabca excavation series, but it is more than a mere catalogue of the el-Dabca finds. The monograph opens with a review of previous research into this type of pottery. The last major reference work to deal with the topic appeared more than thirty years ago. Naturally, in the intervening three decades many more vessels of this type have come to light, including nearly 700 from the el-Dabca site alone. The second section of the book is devoted to a typological discussion of all Tell el-Yahudiyeh vessels known to the authors. These are arranged both chronologically and geographically, starting from their origins in the Levant and continuing to their widespread use throughout the Eastern Mediterranean. This is the first time that a chronological overview has been attempted. It has shown that there are several development threads, including Early Palestinian, Levanto-Egyptian, Late Palestinian and Late Egyptian groups. Each type of vessel is described in detail and accompanied by a map showing where examples have been found. The third and most important section comprises an in-depth catalogue of all 699 vessels that have been found at Tell el-Dabca. The stratigraphic context of these vessels is well documented, which helps not only to date the various types of Tell el-Yahudiyeh vessels, but also allows close correlations to be drawn between all sites where such vessels have been found. Indeed, the fine stratigraphy of Tell el-Dabca, which has been verified at a number of sites in the Eastern Mediterranean, allows Tell el-Yahudiyeh ware to be used as fine datum lines for establishing the relative chronology of the sites where it is found. A conclusion is followed by three chapters providing details about the Tell el-Yahudiyeh vessels that have been found at Ashkelon, Beth Shan and Tell 'Arqa. These three contributions, by L. Stager and R. Voss, A. Meier and R. Mullins, and H. Charaf and M. Ownby respectively, compare northern vessels to those from Tell el-Dabca. While this volume will be of particular interest to specialists in Ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern ceramics, the ability to closely date this ware also means that the volume will also be of use to archaeologists working in Egypt, the Near East, Cyprus and the Aegean, as well as anyone attempting to provide datum lines between different sites in these areas.

This book presents fifty wide-ranging articles written by various international scholars in honour of Janine Bourriau. In date these studies range from the Predynastic Period to the Twentieth Century AD and cover all aspects of Egyptology. As is to be expected most deal with the topic for which Janine is most famous - ceramic studies. These include items on miniature pots, Aswan flasks, fish dishes, Bes vases, embalming caches, terracotta figurines, copies of ceramic vessels in glass, stone and metal, painted pottery, depictions of vases in Egyptian reliefs, newly excavated ceramic material, and the influence of Egyptian motifs on pottery of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries AD. However as a token of Janine's wide-ranging enthousiasm for her chosen career, there are also articles which consider hair combs, soul houses, stelae, coffins, Nubia, the domitian of princess Meketaten, the length of the reign of Seti I, Late Period names, Ancient Egyptian science, Petrie's unpublished archives and Luxor geology.
