Based on historical fact, "George Washington's Boy," written by Ted
Lange, portrays the fight for freedom, the Declaration of
Independence, and the first presidency of the United States from
the viewpoint of one of George Washington's closest confident,
ironically, his slave, Billy Lee. Billy Lee served his master
throughout these monumental times and was privy to the innermost
thoughts and actions of Washington.
Throughout Egypt's long history, pottery sherds and flakes of
limestone were commonly used for drawings and short-form texts in a
number of languages. These objects are conventionally called
ostraca, and thousands of them have been and continue to be
discovered. This volume highlights some of the methodologies that
have been developed for analyzing the archaeological contexts,
material aspects, and textual peculiarities of ostraca.
