Villa of the Birds: The Excavation and Preservation of the Kom al-Dikka Mosaics: American Research Center in Egypt Conservation S.
Autor Wojciech Kolataj, Grzegorz Majcherek, Ewa Parandowskaen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 mai 2007
With the expert guidance of the archaeologists responsible for the excavation, the reader is led through layers of clues reaching ten meters below today's street level, and to an in-depth appreciation of this extraordinary site's rich history.
Drawing directly on their work with the Polish Archeological Mission, the authors describe in detail the excavation of the housing areas, as well as the baths, the gymnasia, and the theater that comprise the villa complex.
Villa of the Birds reconstructs not only the villas themselves, with their magnificent mosaics, but also the history of how they were built and used, and ultimately how they were destroyed by fire. The book is richly illustrated with detailed floor plans as well as spectacular color photographs of the mosaics themselves. American Research Center in Egypt Conservation Series 3
