Jouveau to M. The rest is desert! From left: Consul-General J. In making these corrections I have greatly benefited from the sharp-eye reading of John Larson, Museum Archivist of the Oriental Institute of the Univer- sity of Chicago. Other small corrections and changes have been made throughout the book, but the few new discoveries and reinterpretations have been collected into the addenda at the end of the volume.
The locations of some of the private collections of Carter papers have changed in the recent past. John Carter, the holder of the bulk of the Howard Carter papers in private hands, died in December , and his collection has passed to his son Jonathan, who will retain the material in the Carter family.
Margaret Orr, who held the important Mace papers, also died at the turn of the millennium; the future of these papers has not yet been decided. Jonathan McDonnell and his colleagues at I. Tauris I especially thank for providing the opportunity for extending the life of this book, and for handling the new edition without pain to the author. James xi Carter.
The great Tutankhamun exhibition of in London, masterminded by Dr I. Edwards, not only stimulated unprecedented curiosity in the tomb, its contents and its discoverers, but also obliged many specialists to reconsider the extraordinary achievement of Howard Carter in the management of the discovery.
I did not myself appreciate the extent to which I had become, almost subliminally, engaged in the career of this man, until I was approached by Anne Pemberton about the preparation of a biography. She certainly stimulated my interest to the point when a Carter biography seemed the natural task to take up in retirement. It is therefore most proper that this book should be dedicated to her. I am profoundly grateful to her for starting me on a remarkable quest, and for regular support over the years.
