The archaeological record is a finite resource, which is easily destroyed without proper protection. There are an incredible number of sites and monuments everywhere in Egypt , as well as the countless artefacts in museums and storerooms, requiring constant monitoring, protection and maintenance. 

Managing Egypt's Cultural Heritage is the first volume in a series of Cultural Heritage Management (CHM) discourses; this ground-breaking book is also the first academic collection of papers dedicated to the practice of CHM in Egypt . The papers in this volume are written by specialists in their fields whose expertise cover many areas of cultural heritage management, from the theoretical to the practical, tangible to intangible heritage, from cutting edge technology to simple conservation measures. The periods covered range from the Predynastic to the Coptic and Islamic periods. This volume is an invaluable addition to the library of heritage managers, conservators, archaeologists, lecturers, anyone interested in preserving Egypt 's cultural and natural heritage.

Rosalind M. and Jac. J. Janssen

Growing up and Getting old in Ancient Egypt

Thirty represented old age in Ancient Egypt, yet in this book Egyptologists Rosalind and Jac. Janssen consider a wealth of life course transitions from birth to death. Prominent among these are going to school, puberty rituals, marriage, divorce, retirement, and even drawing a pension. The authors’ familiarity with both ancient hieratic texts and gerontological theory makes Growing up and Getting old in Ancient Egypt a unique volume with wide appeal in our present era of demographic change.
