RESEARCH - Publications

One of the Clos Archaeology Foundation’s important spheres of action is its publications, which include specialised books, magazines for a general readership and catalogues of temporary exhibitions.

The Clos Archaeology Foundation has a collection of specialised monographs on different subjects related to ancient Egypt.

• Mil millas Nilo arriba (edition by Rosa Pujol, 2000)
• Faraones de Egipto, reyes de Israel (Alexandre Herrero, 1999)

Another monographic publication is the Archaeology Tour of Egypt, in which readers may tour the country from south to north while consulting archaeological information on each of its sites.

Every year the magazine Arqueoclub reports on the cultural activities sponsored by the Clos Archaeology Foundation to both the public at large and more expert readers.
