Two Recent Egyptian Hoards: Delta and Keneh

Newell publishes two Egyptian hoards from the Delta and Keneh, using three plates, catalogues, die comparison, and coin composition to address Ptolemaic and Seleucid chronology and circulation. The work is useful for identifying the original contents and closing evidence of the finds, tracing individual specimens, and understanding how hoard analysis revised royal mint sequences. Researchers should distinguish documented hoard coins from comparative specimens introduced in the discussion.

Because the work predates much of the modern archaeological, die-study, epigraphic, and provenance evidence, verify dates, mint or ruler assignments, legend readings, authenticity, and current specimen locations against current corpora and databases.
