It has been celebrated as a miniature version of the great Alexandrian necropolises since the first excavations by Achille Adriani in 1937, followed by various unpublished explorations. Nevertheless, it had not been the subject of a comprehensive study combining architectural analysis and investigation of funerary practices. The policy followed by the French expedition (MFTMP)-systematic architectural survey of a necropolis too often previously analyzed through the prism of a few hypogeas, emphasis on phasing, anthropological studies-made it possible to give a more global vision of the Plinthine necropolis than that provided by earlier studies: the dead are no longer absent and the necropolis reveals a history parallel to that of the Plinthine Hellenistic town.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marie-Francoise Boussac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2724708075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782724708073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ifao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.80h x 9.50w x 2.00d","brand":"Marie-Francoise Boussac","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46721237352703,"sku":"9782724708073","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_561e4603-b376-42c3-b36a-764b9052cfd1.jpg?v=1742752271","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/la-necropole-hellenistique-de-plinthine-marie-francoise-boussac-9782724708073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
