Gold Production Sites and Gold Mining in Ancient Egypt

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Gold and Gold Mining in Ancient Egypt and Nubia

Part of the book series: Natural Science in Archaeology ((ARCHAEOLOGY))

Abstract

The here presented compilation of ancient gold producing sites adheres to their geographic distribution from N to S, as rendered in the overview map in Fig. 5.1. It is divided up in seven groups, which by and large follow the arrangement by Hume (1936).
