An Introduction to the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt by Kathryn A. Bard

As many of the other reviews say, this book was meant to be a textbook.
It has a lot of useful information, and is very information heavy.
It was a very good read for me, as Egypt and Egyptology hold very special places in my heart.
I highly recommend it, but it’s not necessarily a quick read if you don’t like reading textbooks.

An Introduction to the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt by Kathryn A. Bard

It was really long and detailed. I used it for my class, but we didn't go into it as far as the book went.
