The School has produced a number of project reports, monographs, occasional papers and websites relevant to research in History, Archaeology and Religion.

The site of Saqqara is well known as the location of Egypt's earliest pyramid, but few visitors are aware that deep below the desert surface lies a lost world of catacombs provided for the burial of sacred animals.
