This volume describes, illustrates, and analysis the finds from the
excavations at Dra Abu el-Naga, an important necropolis on the east
bank of the Nile in Luxor (Egypt), which was in use from Middle
Kingdom times until the early Christian era. Excavations of the
site have been conducted by the German Archaeological Institute
(DAI). A wide variety of leather objects or objects with leather
parts have been discovered, including footwear, musical objects,
loincloths as well as parts of furniture. The dating of these
objects, mirroring the variety, ranges from Pharaonic to Ottoman.
The present work describes these finds in detail, accompanied by
colour photographs and drawings. The analysis includes the
discussion of the provenance of the finds, the interpretation of
the objects from a technological as well as typological point of
view and dating. Dr. Andre J. Veldmeijer, Visiting Research Scholar
of the American University in Cairo, has worked as an archaeologist
in Egypt since 1995, specialising in, among other things,
leatherwork and footwear. He (co-)directs several projects,
including the Ancient Egyptian Leatherwork Project, which
encompasses the Egyptian Museum Chariot Project and the
Tutankhamun's Sticks& Staves Project. He has published
extensively, both for scientific and popular audiences.
