PREFACE
has been pursuing at Thebes since 1910 and the presence there of
members of its excavating staff, it has now become possible through
this memorial gift from Mrs. Tytus to engage in a plan for the clear-
ing of tombs at Sheikh Abd el Kurneh and its neighborhood, with the
purpose of determining their characteristics in plan and decoration
under successive dynasties and reigns of the Empire.
The task of Mr. Davies and his assistants in recording the mural
decorations of the tombs by means of tracings and color copies is being
supplemented by a photographic record, which includes their con-
structive features, by Henry H. Burton, to whom has likewise been
intrusted work of a similar character on Theban temples. The plans
and architectural drawings illustrative of these monuments are being
prepared by Lindsley F. Hall, the architect of the expedition.
