The Ancient Egyptian Footwear Project (AEFP) is a
multidisciplinary, ongoing research of footwear in ancient Egypt
from the Predynastic through the Ottoman Periods. It consists of
the study of actual examples of footwear, augmented by pictorial
and textual evidence. This volume evaluates, summarises and
discusses the results of the study of footwear carried out by the
AEFP for the last 10 years (which includes the objects in the major
collections in the world, such as the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the
British Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum in New York,
as well as from various excavations, such as Amarna, Elephantine
and Dra Abu el-Naga). All published material is depicted and some
previously unpublished material is added here. The work on physical
examples of footwear has brought to light exciting new insights
into ancient Egyptian technology and craftsmanship (including its
development but also in the relationships of various footwear
categories and their origin), establishing and refining the dating
of technologies and styles of footwear, the diversity of footwear,
provided a means of identification of provenance for unprovenanced
examples, and the relationship between footwear and socio-economic
status. The archaeometrical research has lead to the
reinterpretation of ancient Egyptian words for various vegetal
materials, such as papyrus.
