The Egyptian Museum of the University of Leipzig has the largest
university collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts in Germany. It
includes important objects from the excavations of the most prolific
excavator among the museum's curators, Georg Steindorff, at the
sites of Abusir, Aniba, and Giza, complemented by objects from
Abydos, Thebes, and Kerma. The catalogue represents the results
of an interdisciplinary project by Egyptologist and archaeologist
Martin Odler, archaeometalurgist Jiri Kmosek and other participating
researchers. A selection of 86 artefacts was analysed using a range
of archaeometallurgical methods (X-ray fluorescence; metallography;
neutron activation analysis; lead isotope analysis), providing a
diachronic sample of Bronze Age Egyptian copper alloy metalwork
from Dynasty 1 to Dynasty 19.
