Summary:

This compelling book by a former Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York tells of his excavations over the course of twenty years at Deir el-Bahri, the site with which the woman Pharaoh Hatshepsut is most closely identified. Winlock conjures up a procession of vanished figures from Hatshepsut's court, Winlock also details the conditions and emotions surrounding archaeological fieldwork--the surges of optimism and despair, the exhilaration of an unexpected find.
