This is the second volume in a four-book set covering all Egyptian
pottery, ranging from the earliest (Fayum A) ceramics to modern
pottery made in Egypt today, organized by historical periods. The
manuals are quick identification guides as well as starting points
for more extensive research. For each period, ceramic types are
illustrated with a line drawing, accompanied by a description that
includes information on the pot's material, manufacturing
techniques, surface treatment, and shape. Colour plates of
representative ceramic types are included to give the clearest
sense of the colour, composition and surface treatment. All four
volumes provide an extensive list of suggested readings as well as
a bibliography for each period. Introductory chapters in each book
discuss the basics of pottery manufacture and analysis. The first
comprehensive guide to Egyptian pottery, this set will prove
valuable to students as well as experienced field archaeologists.
The volumes come in paperback and spiral bound versions. The spiral
bound manuals, with hard laminated covers and tabs, are designed
especially for the field and lab. This second edition includes a
new expanded introduction.
