The ancient Egyptian city of Tell el-Amarna (or Amarna, ancient
Akhetaten) was the short-lived capital built by the controversial
Pharaoh Akhenaten, probably the father of the famous Tutankhamun,
and abandoned shortly after his death (c. 1336 BCE). It is one of
the few Pharaonic cities to have been thoroughly excavated and is a
rich source of information about the daily life of the ancient
Egyptians. This volume, the first of two, presents the leatherwork
excavated at the site by these various expeditions. The book
consists of two parts: the catalogue and the preliminary analysis.
The former presents the detailed description of the objects (among
which chariot leather and footwear), accompanied by colour
photographs and, where necessary, line- and construction drawings.
The latter includes an explanation of the Amarna Leatherwork
Project as well as preliminary interpretations of the finds.
