This is a study of the procurement and processing of raw materials
employed by the ancient Egyptians over the five millennia of the
Predynastic and Pharaonic periods (c.5500-332 BC). During this
time, not only were there variations in the preferred materials for
particular types of artefacts, but also gradual processes of
technological change, and the industries of the Chalcolithic period
were complemented and sometimes superseded by the innovations of
the Bronze and Iron Ages. Among the topics covered are stone
quarrying, the building of temples and pyramids, techniques for
preserving meat, fish, and poultry, glass and faience, the baking
of bread, brewing of beers, preparation of oils and perfumes, and
the mummification of humans and animals. Each chapter has been
written by one or more specialists, drawing not only on
conventional Egyptological skills but also on expertise in the
natural sciences as applied to archaeological data.
