We published in 1962 an account of the work of the British Schools of Archaeology and History abroad (ANTIQUITY, 1963, 36); and last year (ANTIQUITY, 1964, 7) an account of their work during 1963 together with a report on the work of the Egypt Exploration Society. Here the Directors of the Schools and the Field Director of the Egypt Exploration Society provide a summary account of the work of British official archaeological institutions abroad during 1964, and we are glad this year to be able to illustrate some of the more notable finds. As before the reports of the Schools are printed in the order of their establishment.
