Alice Stevenson is the Curator of the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, UCL. She was previously Researcher in World Archaeology at the Pitt Rivers Museum. Her academic specialisation is Predynastic and Early Dynastic Egyptian archaeology, but she has a broad range of interests including the history of archaeology, anthropology and museums. She has written and co-edited many works.
'Expertly demonstrates the characters, both past and present,
famous and relatively unknown, whom the ancient objects of the
museum have 'collected'. From the ancient maker and owner, to the
nineteenth century excavator and collector, to the modern curators
and conservators, Stevenson's collection of short articles written
by a variety of staff members and academics connected to the museum
illuminate the characters behind the rare and fascinating objects
which currently reside in this small London museum.'
Birmingham Egyptology Journal
'For any visitor to the museum, this book will be a very worthwhile
souvenir and it will certainly encourage others to see its
astonishing variety of exhibits, many of which are unique and of
enormous importance to the world of Egyptology.'
